Jodi Arias Spends 9 Hours A Day Video Chatting With Fans, Eating Hershey’s Bars
Many have questioned why Jodi Arias, a convicted killer, is being offered so many luxuries while behind bars. The murderer spends up to nine hours a day video chatting with “fans” from a laptop in her cell. She can be seen enjoying Hershey’s bars while giving her admirers big smiles. This had led many to believe the Jodi is hardly suffering while in prison and should have many of her privileges revoked. In addition to spending much of her time talking with her admirers, Jodi has also encouraged illegal behavior from young teens. Two 15-year-old girls video chatted with Arias, after being told their age, the convicted killer told the girls to get fake IDs so they could continue to talk as callers needed to be at least 18-years-old to phone in.
The Daily Mail reports that Arias is confined to her cell for 23 hours of the day. However, she doesn’t seem to mind the confines as she spends the majority of it on her laptop speaking with fans from around the globe. Jodi Arias’ trial made waves across the nation as the woman narrowly escaped the death penalty. Just one juror sat between Arias and a certain death. However, the jury was hung as the one juror would not change their vote and Arias will now spend life in prison. Many had hoped life in prison would be suitable for the horrific slaying of Jodi’s boyfriend; however, some are now questioning if the sentence is a punishment at all as Arias seems to be getting along just fine in prison.

According to ABC News, at least 27 “fans” have called in to Arias for face-to-face video chatting just this weekend. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio notes that calls have come in from various parts of the United States, with at least one call coming from Greece. It was noted that two 15-year old girls called Arias from Ohio because of their fixation with the high-profile murderer. However, when Arias found out the girls were too young to make the call, instead of disconnecting, she told the girls to seek out fake IDs so that they could talk to her again.
Some of the callers have taken screenshots during the call. The images show Arias smiling and in one she is enjoying a Hershey’s bar. Arias has no lack of funds in prison as she has many admirers from around the world sending her money to ensure she has the best life possible in prison. This includes the ability to make video calls. Anyone can call in to talk to an inmate; however, Arias must pay $5 for each phone call that can last up to 20 minutes a piece.
What do you think about prison inmates such as convicted killer Jodi Arias having access to luxuries such as video calls and candy bars?
