i do. i will. i you. i am. okay. bye. >> i love my life. he's the greatest love of my life ever in jail. yeah. but you can't help but, you know, you can't -- you know, this saying, it's true. you can't help who you fall in love with. he is the greatest love of my life. coming up -- >> you need to tell me how you feel real quick. >> relieved to get the rest of my life going. tired. >> glad you're leaving here? >> yeah, yes.

unlike many of the inmates at california's orange county jail who are awaiting sentencing or the resolution of their charges, stacie ortega knows exactly what's ahead of her. she recently pled guilty to a dui hit and run that seriously injured her boyfriend. >> taking two females at 5:00 in the morning. >> ortega was sentenced to eight years. and this morning she will be transferred to prison. >> go out, veer over to the left and stop by the front of that van. >> they cannot -- i won't sit in the back of that van because i'll throw up. >> do you have motion sickness? >> yeah. >> i'll explain that to them and

hopefully they'll take that into consideration. go ahead. >> you need to tell me how you feel real quick, stacie. >> relieved to get the rest of my life going. tired. >> are you glad to be leaving here? >> yeah. yeah. i think spending 15 months here, number one, helped me get sober. this is the first time in my life that i'm sober 100%, and it helped me realize who i am or who i want to be. just comfortable in my own skin. i guess my biggest fear would be someone killing me. to keep it on the real 100%,

things can happen up there. and they can happen pretty quickly. i want to be ready for the worst and try to make it the best i can, period. so i don't want to go in there rubbing people the wrong way. i don't want to go in there with something to prove. >> right. >> get on in the back or wherever you want to go. >> so i'm just doing me and i'd rather be happy in a situation and make it that way than grovel and drown in my sorrow and not move forward. not going to move forward unless i'm happy with myself. >> a few days later, michelle culberson received a letter from her former cellie. >> i have a letter here from stacie. you want me to read it? hey, pretty lady, how are things going in county? i'm doing all right today. i miss you so much. she called me mich ela. i wish you were here with me.

it's cooled off here, thank god. i have not missed yard since i arrived. too nice not to enjoy the outdoors. i think i'm getting some color back and i gave myself a hair cut. so now that that has been said, when will you get here? ha, ha, ha. i'll be waiting, homey, hurry, please. love always your best -- bff raven. they call her raven now. >> whether culberson joins her friend in prison or not depends on if she and her boyfriend are acquitted on charges of rape and sodomy. they have been offered a plea deal, which would greatly reduce the amount of time they could serve in prison versus being found guilty in trial. but they have turned it down. >> i don't know. i'm innocent so i feel that i -- yeah, it's a risk that i'm willing to take. i am willing to take it because the jury, there's 12 people there. and, yes, they either are going to feel sorry for her or feel sorry for me. i don't know which one it's going to be.

>> supposed to hit it again, bunky. >> life is a gamble in general. you don't know what tomorrow may bring forth or i might just be able to be, hey, you can't find nothing on this man. all of this stuff is inadequate puffed up charges. more than likely, the jury will be able to see this too. >> for beau who's facing an additional charge of false imprisonment, a guilty verdict could equal as much as 16 years. >> faith in god. the justice system is man's law. and that's a good thing. hopefully they upheld it. but i have a great god that i serve. and you know what, it's a miraculous god and a righteous god and i keep my faith in him, not just what man can do.
