According to Parker, life behind bars hasn’t been spectacular, especially when it comes to the lighting. She griped the lights in her cell were kept on 24 hours a day.

Her mother worried about a medical diagnosis – her hemiplegic migraines. Prior told Parker, “If those f—ing lights trigger a migraine episode, the d–n jail is going to have more problems than they have right now with you.”

“I mean, they cannot facilitate you. And maybe, just maybe, you should hold your eyes open just as long as you can so it will trigger another episode,” she continued. “But I’m just saying it’s a matter of time before that comes back. And they can’t… they’re not equipped to facilitate an individual in that kind of condition, the condition that you used to be in.”

Parker further admits a psychiatrist offered her a sleep aid to help with “depression” and “night terrors.”

Parker killed then 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock on Oct. 9, 2020, by stabbing her more than 100 times and crushing her skull with a hammer at her Texas home.

At the time, the victim was pregnant, and Parker removed the baby from her body with a scalpel.

Simmons-Hancock died in front of her three-year-old daughter while Parker went on the run with the newborn. Ultimately, Parker was arrested while she drove the baby, who had sadly died, to a hospital in Oklahoma.

According to Parker, once she was taken into custody, the police were out to get her – a claim her mother was quick to push back on.

According to recordings from 2021 and 2022 obtained by the US Sun, her mother even directly asked her if she was psychologically stable.

Parker replied, “Mom, they would charge me with s—ing on a fly right now if they could, literally, that’s what it comes down to.”

She went on to insist the authorities were hoping to pile up charges, discussing another inmate in prison for an unrelated incident.

“I mean, there’s another girl that’s here, and they literally just threw some bogus bulls— on her just because they could, just because it makes them look better,” she said.

Parker also admitted she did something wrong, but didn’t believe the prosecutors’ plans were fair.

She said, “I mean, it’s like [you do] one horrible thing, they’ll do anything and whatever. I mean, that’s just what it comes down to. They don’t give a s—.”

Her mother wasn’t allowing Parker to dodge responsibility, though.

“Well, Taylor, you know, I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think you’re thinking about that like you should be thinking about that,” Prior replied. “I mean it’s not just you do one horrible thing and they try to throw the book at you.”

Further, Prior expressed hope Parker’s attorney would put her through a psychological evaluation “because something is not right there.”

While her mother did push back against Parker’s claims, Prior didn’t completely discard her daughter. In fact, she helped strategized a defense plan, including whether to pretty her up for trial.

In another phone call, the pair discussed whether Parker would be allowed to wear makeup at court. Her mother argued that prosecutors hoped she’d look like a “homeless criminal.”
