lockdown for having fought with another inmate. >> it was a one-on-one fight, and it's a dead issue now, you know what i mean? it is what it is. it's no big thing. it's something that always happens. it ain't nothing, you know what i'm saying? that's all there is to it, you know? >> kunkel claims his conflict with inmate robert hurd was just a run-of-the-mill jailhouse fight. but hurd says kunkel sucker-punched him to avoid a fight with a bigger inmate who was angry kunkel was flaunting his tattoos. >> when he got caught up with the big black guy he was nervous to fight that certain person. so he was looking for a plea bargain, basically, a way out, to sign out. so the way to sign out is to run up in the middle of a pod where there's cameras at and run up and swing on somebody who the police can see what's going on and come break it up. and that way he get moved so he won't ever have to face that man. so as i'm coming down the steps, one of my peoples ask something to me and i turn my head away, look to the side and he run up and swing and that's how the fight started.
