For Chessie to thank anyone then to her that means she's failed or let down her kids, as a mother. Unless there's some sorta reward for doing so - she won't do it.
And as far as rolling on people, admitting to murder charges and everything n between - these are career criminals (doesn't mean they've been caught each time, it means they live a criminal lifestyle). Snitches and child rapists are the lowest of the low in lock-up. But see, they often keep child rapists in seg with the others. They don't do the same for snitches, those people are in general pop unless it's gang affiliated. So while Jennifer is charged with child











, she is not going to get seg. At least not the way I know it - unless they can prove she was IN the film. I'm sure her entire family has been threatened by everyone.
I don't know it all, but I do know enough from my personal life choices to understand this mindset of code of honor. Most people think <modsnip> are safer outside of jail, but that's not true - they are safer inside lock-up rather than being free. Many people facing charges that when released they will be very fortunate to live.. will do many things to stay "indoors" aka jail.
People that turn on others are usually those that don't have a gang mentality surrounding it. The Wood family does. They handle everything with violence. Everything. But we will see.. it's been a long time and other than a few of the younger Wood's talking about abuse, nothing more has come out.
ps: the only way anyone knows your charges is if you either tell the other inmates yourself or someone leaks it. It's taboo to discuss that, you just say what the amount of time is you're doing.
