When 25-year-old Jessica Gonzalez was but a mere slip of a 15-year-old, she was put in jail for murdering a former roommate, making her the youngest person to be convicted of murder as an adult in the state of Rhode Island. Jessica shot her roommate, a single mother, when she was only 13-years-old. Once in jail, Jessica began a sexual relationship with her work-release (Yeah, we bet.) officer at her job in an elderly care center. She wasn’t penalized for the relationship because only supervisors are held responsible for relationships with inmates:

“It is standard practice, not only in our department but in correctional agencies across the nation, that when an inmate is involved in staff sexual misconduct, the inmate is not disciplined,” said Corrections Director A.T. Wall. Gonzalez was removed from work at the center when her relationship surfaced and the corrections department will no longer send inmates to work at the center.

Why must the elderly suffer for some mojoneta’s indiscretion? Anyway. Jessica is due to be paroled later this month after only having served 10 years of her 45 year sentence:

Parole Board Member Kenneth Walker explains: “We looked at her as a child being sentenced to such a long time, so the board thought it was time for her to go.”

And you’re still stuck working in a cubicle for the remainder of your sentence. What do you think? Based on how young she was when she committed the murder and her apparent attitude while incarcerated, is it a good idea for Jessica to be set free so early? Does getting involved with a supervisor really count as “good behavior?”

    it’s kind of sad. i’ll make sure to pay attention to my kids (when i have some) and not let them move out of the house and live with someone else when they’re 13.

    she probably needs to stay in jail.

    Too little information, I mean, why did she have a roommate at 13? Who owned the gun? Why was it in the house?What incident occured at time of killing? Was it in self defense? Where the hell were the parents?

    seriously? she was 13!!! when did we start deciding that sometimes when you’re 13 you’re a kid, and sometimes you’re not? If she had a bf who was 18, she’d have been a kid then, but since she committed a crime she’s an adult at 13? It’s the most ridiculous concept I’ve ever heard, they say she made an adult decision, and therefore should be held accountable as an adult, that’s the defense for this line of thinking, but if my 12 year old took my car out for a drive, that’s an adult act, doesn’t mean he can go get a license now does it? And you people are really concerned she wasn’t in prison long enough? SHE WAS 13! Heartless bastards…gotta say from that picture, lol, can’t blame the guard…
