<p>Smith, who turned 46 on Sept 26, became South Carolina’s most infamous inmate more than two decades ago. In October 1994, she told police that she had been carjacked by a man who had taken off with her two young sons still in her car. For 9 days, she made tearful pleas for their safe return.<br />
But it was all a lie.</p>
<h6><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-262506" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/susan-smith-in-2017.jpg" alt="Susan Smith in 2017.jpg" width="1315" height="1500" />Not to be slowed down Susan Smith’s life behind bars has been a tale of sex, drugs and Infractions</strong></h6>
<p>As her fable began to unravel, Smith admitted that there was no carjacker. She finally admitted to police that she had let her car roll into a lake with Michael, 3, and Alex, 14 months, still strapped in their car seats.<br />
The real motive was that she was secretly dating a man who didn’t want children.<br />
Smith was convicted of two counts of murder and is serving a life sentence in Leath Correctional Institution in Greenwood, South Carolina.<br />
One of the head scratchers from the case was the fact that Smith mindlessly sent law enforcement on a wild goose chase by blaming the crime on a nonexistent, generic black man. The consequences of that significant lie led to police scrutiny, hardship and outrage among the black community.</p>

<p>Just as she turned 46 behind bars, <a href="http://people.com/crime/susan-smith-drowning-sons-inside-life-prison/?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&;utm_source=twitter.com&;utm_medium=social&;xid=socialflow_twitter_peoplemag">PEOPLE </a> obtained her jailhouse records and found that her incarceration hasn’t been easy. This summer, she was demoted to landscape laborer, having previously served as a senior groundskeeper.<br />
In the past seven years, she has been disciplined at least five times for various infractions, including self-mutilation and the use and possession of narcotics or marijuana. Each infraction has resulted in the loss of privileges, including loss of visitation, canteen and telephone privileges.<br />
Twice in 2010 and once in 2015, she was disciplined on drug charges, losing privileges for more than a year.</p>

<p>In 2000,a 28-year-old Smith was disciplined for having sex four times with 50-year-old prison guard Houston Cagle, who later pled guilty to the illegal fraternizStion and spent 3 months in jail.<br />
The following year, a prison captain, Alfred Rowe, also pleaded guilty to having sex with Smith and was sentenced to five years probation.<br />
The seemingly unrepentant former mother-of-two has never fully accepted responsibility for her heinous acts. She claims she has been misunderstood.<br />
In 2015, Smith wrote a letter defending herself to <a href="http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article28050157.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The State</em></a>, a local newspaper. “Mr. Cahill, I am not the monster society thinks I am,” she wrote to reporter Harrison Cahill. “I am far from it.”</p>

<p>“Something went very wrong that night. I was not myself,” she wrote. “I was a good mother and I loved my boys. There was no motive as it was not even a planned event. I was not in my right mind.”<br />
However, David her ex-husband and the father of the boys, in a 2010 interview said that he has never fully recovered from the pain: “There’s always this nagging and gnawing heartache,” David Smith said, “It’s there every day, even if I’m not always conscious of it.”<br />
Will Susan Smith one day seek redemption and accept full responsibility for her reprehensible acts?<br />
That remains to be seen.</p>
