Inside Teen Text Killer Michelle Carter’s Final Days In Prison Before Early Release
Jan. 22 2020, Updated 8:43 p.m. ET
Teen Text Killer Michelle Carter has just two days left of her sentence, earning early release from prison for “good behavior,” and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details about her final days behind bars.
According to Bristol County Sheriff Spokesman Jonathan Darling, “She will be released just like all of the other inmates that are released that day. It is generally between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., depending on who is picking her up and when.”
Darling told RadarOnline.com Carter made “no special requests for her release and did not request to leave through a different exit from the prison.”
He also told RadarOnline.com that no special accommodations were made for her transportation from the notorious prison that once housed Aaron Hernandez. She would be picked up by someone personally, not in a law enforcement vehicle, Darling said.
RadarOnline.com broke the news that Carter was earning time off for her original release date of May 5, 2020, earning up to 10 days a month for “good behavior," after her guilty conviction for encouraging her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III, to commit suicide.
Darling confirmed Carter would be released on January 23.
While behind bars, Carter was a “model prisoner,” he told RadarOnline.com.
“She has never had a fight. She takes classes and works at a job in the prison. She is polite to staff, volunteers and other inmates,” he previously said.
“She has been no problem at all.”
Carter’s actions with her boyfriend Roy were what landed her in prison. She was sentenced to 15-months in prison after her guilty conviction of involuntary manslaughter in the 2014 suicide death of her boyfriend and entered prison in February 2019.
Evidence presented in court included over 20,000 text messages they exchanged where she encouraged him to kill himself.
“You're so hesistant sic because you keep overthinking it and pushing it off. You just need to do it Conrad. The more you push it off, the more it will eat at you,” Carter texted to Roy on July 12, 2014 as he wavered in his decision to kill himself.
“I think he just killed himself,” Carter wrote in a text message to her friend Samantha Boardman when she stopped hearing back from Roy on the day that he died.
“Sam he just called me and there was a loud noise like a motor and I heard moaning like someone was in pain and he wouldn’t answer when I said his name I stayed on the phone for like 20 mins that’s all I heard,” Carter wrote to her friend on the night of Roy’s death.
She was only 17 when Roy died, a factor the judge took into account when sentencing her to only 15 months for her “wanton and reckless” behavior in the case.

Evil Messages
On the night he died, Carter sent Roy an ominous text: “You're ready and prepared. All you have to do is turn the generator on and you be free and happy. No more pushing it off, no more waiting.”
Pushing Him
Carter’s last few messages to Roy, presented in court read: “I know, you just have to do it like you said,” and: “Are you gonna do it now.”
Hesitation
Roy's license was found in the car by police. “I could just do it in my driveway,” he texted to Carter on July 9, three days before his death. “But slight chance I’m found.” She responded: “Don’t do it in your driveway? You’ll easily be found.”
Family Ties
Carter told Roy his death would be accepted by his family on July 11. “I think your parents know you’re in a really bad place. I’m not saying they want you to do it, but I honestly feel like they can except sic it," she said. "I’m not saying they want you to do it, they’ve tried helping, everyone’s tried. But there’s a point that comes where there isn’t anything anyone can do to save you, not even yourself, and you’ve hit that point and I think your parents know you’ve hit that point. You said your mom saw the suicide thing on your computer and she didn’t say anything. I think she knows it’s on your mind, and she’s prepared for it."
Not Sure
At 5:14 pm on July 12 Roy wrote to Carter, saying: “Idk I’m stressin."
Mean Message
Carter wrote back to Roy at 5:15 pm, “You’re fine, it’s gonna be okay. You just gotta do it babe, you can’t think about it.”
The End
In their ominous last messages to each other, Roy hesitated. “I know I’m overthinking, I’ve been overthinking for a while now,” he wrote at 6:09 pm.
Carter responded to Roy at 6:11 PM, writing: “I know, you just have to do it like you said,” and then wrote again at 6:19 PM, asking: “Are you gonna do it now.”
