i was half asleep. and i walked back to my place, and i'm sitting there, and this guy -- he says, "either you're gonna give me some of your food or you got to get up." and i said, "hey, if you touch my food, we're gonna have a problem." and he proceeded to touch my food. >> thompson rises from his seat. seconds later, the other inmate, keith reeves, appears to put a hand in his face, and thompson strikes back. >> i punched him in the mouth like four times, and then he tried to take another tray and pour it over top of my head. and then i got him in a headlock, and i just choked him out. >> other inmates step in to break up the fight when an off-camera officer arrives and threatens to use pepper spray. after initial interviews with both inmates, staff identified reeves as the aggressor and temporarily assigned him to a single-person segregation cell. >> damn. >> they allowed thompson to return to his dormitory. >> it was really a bully situation, like what you would see on a commercial, you know, about kids bullying.
