Too bad. possible spoilers

The movie failed to convince me that she did anything wrong.

You always hear sh*t like "don't let anything stop you" while growing up, and then when someone actually lives up to that and tries to survive/make a better life then the same society turns on them.

Everyone is just so content with how sh*t is in their lives and they never try to make it better, there's always excuses, so when something like this (the actual event not the movie) hits their TV then it frightens them that there are more capable people out there who are willing to do anything to make things better.

Its sad, wolves being ruled by sheep.

You are correct in that people should strive to make a beter life for themselves. That being said the Sarah depicted in the movie was a user and a manipulator of anyone she met. She used her boyfriend, her prson mates, the prison guard and her older and really stupid sugar daddy. Did she in fact commit the murders? Maybe yes and maybe no. She was complicit in covering it up and not going to the police to report it. She said she was afraid of her boyfriend which I found hard to believe. She could have left at any time but chose not to do that. She is in prison where she belongs.

Why does she belong in prison still when her only crime may have been, as you admit, obstruction after the fact? She'd have been out by now had that been the only conviction.

You've got to have the punishment fit the crime, and if it should not have been for double murder, why should she serve time for it? Yes, she was convicted of it, but you said maybe she didn't do it, which means that conviction should not have happened according to you.

Pender also did deserve time for escape, but had she served only a few years for obstruction and destroying of evidence, she'd naver have escaped. Even considering the conviction for escape, she could be out by now for that AS WELL as for the obstruction and destroying evidence conviction. (Heck, the DA could have given her no jail time so she'd flip on her boyfriend.)

To the OP: I have reasonable doubt Pender committed any murder, and she should have the conviction vacated and no new charges filed. Doubtful it'll happen, even with the forged confession evidence. However, that conviction is a miscarriage of justice. Taking matters into her own hands and becoming a fugitive further *beep* her over, so I can't support going rogue like that, even when the system is broken.
