I'll tell you exactly why... Craig is a career criminal who knows how to perambulate both inside and outside the joint, is a true dyed-in-the-wool con man, and has had a lifetime of practice at the high art of deception.
Kelly, on the other hand, is only 6 years into this... She is finally realizing, probably through endless deafening echoes ringing her brain dry, of the voices of all the people who "tried to tell her..." within that first year, that she is in deep, deep trouble and it's all due to HER choices. People stopped trying to help her after that first year because it was too ugly if they did say something. He convinced her to tell him EVERYTHING people said, and instructed her to reply, "I hope you're not ashamed for me to repeat this to Craig, because I'm going to." No one wanted to be threatened or risk bodily harm, so after awhile they just said, "Why friggin' bother!? Go have yourselves a nice, f****ed up life! What do I care?"
Besides, can you imagine what it's like for Kelly withdrawing in confinement? She probably is, he probably isn't. Though, I will say, those county jail systems can truly be a hotbed for easy 1-2-3 crystal meth labs. My husband was stopped for a traffic warrant and sadly had to spend the night in our local county jail (our state makes no exceptions). While there, for less than a 24 hour period, he was offered meth non-stop, along with other drugs, and got to see how people made it from cold meds in their cells in plain site. Amazing. So I'm not sure she is withdrawing unless she's in a wing all by herself, or a holding cell. If she's in some county population, she's probably killing her pain every hour, come to think of it.
