A young woman says she stabbed a man in selfdefense on one of the most dangerous streets in wichita. Now his future is up to a judge. Just a half a mile from broadways red light district is the Sedgwick County jail. Most of the 1,150 inmates here are only charged with crimes and are awaiting trial of the resolution of their cases. Vegas walker arrived fresh from broadway. Ive been robbed before, ive been jumped on, ive been maced. Theres never a dull moment on broadway. Somebody always getting stabbed, fighting shooting. It might sound weird but its kind of like an adrenaline rush to me. Walker says she has been a drug dealer on broadway for much of her young life and it was a confrontation with a man on that street that led to her arrest. She is charged with aggravated battery with the intent to cause great bodily harm. Walker has pled not guilty but admits to stabbing her alleged victim but only in selfdefense. I guess he dont have a spleen or a pancreas no more. And he lost two liters of blood. Walker has a prior conviction of attempted aggravated battery as a juvenile. But has been back to jail as an adult on minor probation violations that date back to her original conviction. If she is found guilty on her current charge, she could be sent to prison for years. According to court documents, she and the victim knew each other and had prior conflicts. I feel like i didnt do nothing wrong, because he shouldnt have put his hands on me. And seeing how hes two times my size. Walker is two hours away from a court appearance. One in which her prosecutor will offer an opportunity to plead guilty to her current charge. In order to avoid the possibility of the state filing a more serious charge of attempted murder. And i could be facing 22 years, and im only 20 years old. So thats all my life. Shes one of the sweetest young girls that are in here. Shes got a lot of issues but shes sweet as could be. Talking with her, hanging out with her, you would not think the charges that shes here for, you wouldnt even think. I dont think i should take a plea, i should just try to fight it. If i get 22 years, then maybe that is what it was meant to be, but i dont think god is going to let me go to jail for Something Like that for that long. Later, walker returns to her housing unit from court. She has signed a plea deal to serve up to six years and three months in prison. But the final decision is up to her judge who will issue the sentence in a separate hearing. And theres one other stipulation. Im a Violent Offender for the next 15 years and i might have to do five years. I dont want to talk about it. Vegas. Vegas. Kansas is only one of a few states with a Violent Offender registry, similar to more common sex offender registries. The goal is to protect the public. But they also mark the offender for years beyond their sentence. Often making it difficult to find housing or a job. Tanya salmon is a friend of walkers and has had her own difficulties on broadway. Were kind of on the same page about some stuff. Yeah, its going to hurt. Yeah shes going to cry. But she cant shut herself out like this or its just going to make it worse. I know how shes feeling and if she closes herself out right now im scared what is going to happen for her. Coming up she had to be forced into handcuffs and then once i was walking her out of the cell door, she tried to jump off mezz level. Jail officials put vegas walker on suicide watch. And pretty soon we were in each others face and it was like a firecracker, all it took was a fuse to get lit. And i put my hands on her. An argument leads to a beating, an arrest, and a victim changing her account of what happened. Theres my career. My cause. And creating my dream home. Im a work in progress. So much goes into who i am. Hiv medicine is one part of it.

Ah, relax. I got this. Which gps are you using anyway . A Little Something called instinct. Been using it for years. Yeah, thats what im afraid of. He knows exactly where were going. My whole body is a compass. Oh boy. The my account app makes todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Not my thing. What are you going to do . Backflip real quick for yall. Hit that thing, hit that thing that [ bleep ] 200some pounds of the 1,150 men and women housed at the Sedgwick County jail in wichita, a little more than half are white males. There is no racial segregation in any of the housing units. But if Jason Galliart had his way that policy would change. He displays his beliefs on his skin. I know the looks i get, im perceived as a racist or whatever. And you know, i get that look, you know, like you know. I dont care, i love it. Im not a supremist, im a separatist. Meaning we should all stay with our own race. He received his tattoos in prison and he says inmates of other races understand. You go with your own people, just like animals go with their own species, its the natural order of things. Exactly. Thats the best way to put it. The tattoos dont bother me because everybody is tatted now, you know what im saying. To me he look like he bought more tattoos than the last person. You know. Thats how i look at it. Thats his personal issue. As long as he dont take his beliefs or whatever out on me as my skin color, then i dont have a problem with it. You know. As long as it dont go on to the next person, its cool. Im not as extreme as i was. Im proud of who i am, thats never going to change. And if i see one of my own getting beat up then im going to go to his aid. You know, thats never going to change. Thats just who i am. You got to realize that prison has been set, the mentality has been set for years and years and years and years. You know what im saying . He got to do what he got to do to survive, and i got to do what i got to do to survive. Galliart says he served time as a juvenile, spent two years in a texas state prison, and recently completed 12 years in a kansas state prison for crimes including theft, forgery, robbery and aggravated battery. He says he grew more violent behind bars. In texas prison if you are white as soon as you go to prison youve got to fight, a black, a mexican, one of your own to see if you are going to break. And usually if you dont fight or if you fold up, then whoever folds you up, you basically belong to them. Despite it all, galliart says sometimes he prefers prison life. You aint got to pay bills, you aint got all the issues. I mean, i love women, dont get me wrong, but in here you aint got to deal with no women issues, man. And thats my biggest thing is i did all them years without having a relationship with a woman. And i mean, i miss being with a woman, dont get me wrong, but as far as being with a woman, the relationship aspect, the fighting, i didnt miss that. And it just seems like thats always i ended up with a chick, we always went at it all the time. And that is exactly why galliart is now awaiting trial on several new charges. Including kidnapping and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He has pled not guilty. But admits to the physical confrontation with his girlfriend that led to his arrest. It started with accusations of cheating. Who is she messing with, who am i messing with, that sort of thing. We was both feeling it drunkwise and pretty soon we was into each others face. It was just like a firecracker, all it took was the fuse to get lit. And you know, i put my hands on her. Judy simora was left with two black eyes and other bruises. I aint proud of that. But it happened. I aint ever done it before. First time i ever struck a woman. Simora has also reported that galliart held a knife to her throat, which resulted in his most serious charge, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Because of his prior record, galliart could face up to 50 years in prison if found guilty. But he says now its less of a concern because simora has recanted the knife claim. She basically said, hey, this never happened. I lied about it. Thats what i mean by recant. She admitted that she lied about it. So any jury is not going to find me guilty from her saying i lied about it. They cant find you guilty. Coming up who are you going to see . Galliart. Jason galliarts victim pays him a visit.

Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum inside wichitas Sedgwick County jail, vegas walker recently pled guilty to aggravated battery with intent to cause great bodily harm. She stabbed a man, but says it was in selfdefense. And as her sentencing draws nearer, shes been struggling. She got into an altercation, argument with an inmate and so we defused them and we moved them both. Walker was transferred from her lower security dormlike unit into pod 22, the highersecurity unit with singleperson cells. Three, four minutes into pod 22 she said she wanted to kill herself. So it took a Response Team and myself to go up and get her. She refused to get up. She had to be forced into handcuffs. Ask then once i was walking her out of the cell door, she tried to jump off the mezz level. Walker was immediately placed on suicide watch. She was confined to a special isolation cell and stripped of all possessions in order to not harm herself. Even her clothes were replaced with a thick tearproof gown to prevent hanging. Its not a form of punishment, but its just a way to make sure they are safe. We always say that we want to make sure that our staff leave okay every night. Well, we feel that way about the inmates, too. Thats our primary job here is to make sure that they are safe. On the third day of suicide watch, jail officials have decided to change walkers status. Per the Mental Health, they are going to discontinue suicide watch and begin a racked watch. That means a deputy will check on her every 30 minutes. They are going to log every 30 minutes of her behavior. She will be confined to this cell 23 hours per day, but is now allowed to wear a regular uniform and to have a few personal possessions. As long as they are not sharp. She has no access to the razor, because she attempted suicide. Though walker was quickly restrained after she moved toward the railing, she says her intention was real. I felt like just ending it. I dont want to be in jail no more. I was tired of being in jail. I was tired of dealing with all of the things that i have been dealing with. I was just sick of everything and everybody. After a few hours on racked watch, Deputy Mayberry responds to a disturbance in walkers housing unit. She has been trashing her cell and kicking the door. Whats wrong . Stop yelling. I can hear you. Walker says the inmate worker who moved her possessions into her new cell stole her radio and other items. Let me do some looking around, you say a radio and shampoo. Radio, shampoo, [ bleep ] let me do some searching around, all right . Tell that ill tell her. Relax, okay . Walker is also irritated by other women outside her cell in the units day room. Dont be trying to act hard that im behind this door, you fat, sloppy bitch hey, chill out. Dont let them rub you up. Because youre locked up and theyre not. So i mean, just chill out, all right . Ill get your radio back to you, okay . Listen, i dont know about all that. I dont know. They might have throw that away. You relax the rest of this night and you will have your radio tomorrow. Okay. All right. Im done. I gave you that option. All right . But im pretty sure they are not going to sit there and let you bang on here all day, you will end up probably in the chair or probably back on suicide watch. There you go. Oh, vegas, i know her from the streets. Im like, girl, you have got to stop because of the simple fact is either somebody is going to teach you are or you are going to learn really quick what its like to be in jail. Walkers friend jamie miller is assigned to the same housing unit. Thats just is too much. All night screaming and yelling and cant do it. Look at her [ bleep ]. She looks so innocent, but shes hell. Shes hell. [ bleep ]. I cannot believe she woke you up this morning. Wow. I heard screaming and banging last night, shut up youre not going to get anywhere in this jail acting like that. The easier you are, the more you comply with the deputies, you will get privileges. Thats the only way they pay you any attention around here, when you ask nicely for people to do stuff. Then they look at you like, oh, they ignore you. Then when you flip out or do something, theyre at your door, ive never had a problem with you, whats going on with you, this and that miller knows that walker has been anxious about her upcoming sentencing. They can give you probation or prison time, right . What did you sign a plea for . Five years. Five years penitentiary time . The deal walker actually signed makes her eligible for more than six years in prison for stabbing a man, though she hopes the judge will give her probation instead. Im probably going to get probation. Who is your judge . Mcgonigan. Mcgonigan . Girl, youre going to prison. No im not. The plea says i can get probation. Do you have the plea papers . No. I would ask for a copy of what you signed, honey. I already have a copy, i ripped it up. Im going to get one or the other. Its all up to the judge. Either way i hope for the best. I mean, its going to happen either way. What is . Whatever is going to happen. I dont know, you dont know. No, i do know. I have to stay calm. Focused. All right. Well, im about to move around. All right. That dont make no sense. Though miller knows walkers judge and is convinced shes headed to prison, walker believes faith will set her free. And shes used a bar of soap to fortify that belief. This says bless me and its a cross. And then i wrote crosses all over my sink. I just, you know, put crosses on everything so i can remind myself why im trying to change. Coming up whats up . Tell me exactly what you told the police. I told them that he took a knife, put it to my throat. Jason galliarts girlfriend changes her story. So the knives are a lie . Hm. And ms. Walker, your situation is regrettable in a great many ways.

For most inmates there is no mistaking life inside wichita Sedgwick County jail for home sweet home. There is one policy implemented by sheriff jeff easter that they would like to see go away, or in this case flushed away. Its the toilet paper policy. I get a roll a week. So i try to stretch it out. How . You dont use as much, you know. Sheriff easter says the one roll per week toilet paper policy has nothing to do with punishment, but everything to do with waste. There was toilet paper being used as tablecloths, toilet paper, three or four rolls being stuffed down the toilet to flood their cells so they would be taken out of their cells. Toilet paper put on the vents. Toilet paper put over the windows. Toilet paper put under the cracks of the doors. So the waste of toilet paper was unbelievable. And so we sat down and looked at it. And decided that we would issue them a roll of toilet paper a week. The first year the savings to the taxpayers was 50,000 in toilet paper. Some inmates say one roll a week is just unsustainable. A lot of soft foods and one roll of toilet paper a week makes for a bad deal. I guess. They give us one roll of toilet paper a week to wipe with and thats it. I have been locked down for 72 hours stealing a roll of toilet paper before. So. I have, too. Went behind the desk and took a roll of toilet paper, man, i needed it. If, you know, theyre sick, have the flu, flulike symptoms, those type of things, theyre going to get as much toilet paper as they need until theyre done being sick. But if theyre not indigent and they have commissary, it costs them 1. 32 to buy another roll. A roll of toilet paper, 1. 30. Those additional rolls of toilet paper can be purchased at the jails commissary, along with other toiletries and snacks. Jason galliart has just received his weekly commissary order, including one roll of toilet paper. How much did you spend here . This is a 50 sack. Aint that crazy . Walmart, 50 sack fill this whole table up. Twice that. Galliarts girlfriend deposits money into his commissary account once a week. Whenever she gets paid she gives me 50, whenever shes not getting paid, shell give me 30. If i beg her she might give me another 50. Judy simora not only gives him money, but visits regularly, despite the beating she suffered at galliarts hands which led to his current incarceration. Hello. Who are you going to see . Galliart. We talk to each other pretty much every day on the phone. I come to see him every week. Thank you. He obviously has issues, but i do care about him, and i do love him. Simora says she expects to be called to testify at galliarts trial on charges including kidnapping and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. I got to play nice because of the situation. And do i harbor ill will or hard feelings towards her . I did initially. And there is still a little animosity of course because im in here. But i dont blame her for it. And i forgive her for it. Just like she forgives me for doing that. Whats up . Top of the day to you. Can you hear me . Did you shave your head . Yup. Can you tell . As far as us talking about what happened, he says hes ashamed of it. Doesnt want to talk about it, but i do want to talk about it. Simora says that she and galliart agreed that he would try to get into an anger management class offered at the jail. Whatever happened with those classes that you was trying to take . They still aint said nothing to me about it yet. Because i dont know, im just speculating, but as far as severity of the crime or whatever, they are trying to say probably that im not eligible to go, i think. Im going to ask again. But i have been asking. If nothing else, definitely they are going to make me go when i get out. The judge will order it. Yeah, thats probably a given. We had been drinking, i had a couple of beers, he was drinking some vodka. We were having a good time. Both galliart and simora say on the night of the beating, they accused each other of infidelities. At first, just pulled my hair a couple of times. Then he slapped me upside the head. But then he continued to slap me. I didnt hit her with no closed fist, but still i aint making no excuses for it either. I mean, i slapped her up. Then they drove to a friends house, but things got worse. And galliart stopped on the way. He hit me a couple more times. And those two times was when i really got frightened. My eyes had been scratched, and it was very painful. And i just thought just seemed like it was never going to end. She said she was scared that i was going to hit her again, and so she left. And thats when she went to the police station. You aint heard nothing from the d. A. Or nothing, huh . No, huhuh, not a peep. If youve got to go to trial, they are going to talk to you probably a week before i go. Yeah. You know, and if you dont show up, they are going to try to put a warrant out for you and all that good stuff. Just show up then . Yeah. If you dont show up they are going to try to make it seem like im telling you not to show up. See what im saying . Yeah. Instead of it being your own free will choice, theyre trying to make it seem because im the bad guy. Its now in galliarts best interests for simora to talk to his prosecutors because she has changed a part of her story. It could be the difference between galliart receiving a short prison term or spending decades behind bars if found guilty. Tell me exactly what you told the police. I told them that he took a knife, put it to my throat, a large hunting knife and put it to my throat. He said if i didnt tell him the truth, he was going to kill me. A little knife. He said he was going to start sticking me if i didnt tell him the truth. Should galliart be found guilty of using a knife, even in just a threatening manner, his sentencing guidelines increase dramatically. Ill never get out. Ill die in prison. You know, she wanted to get back at me. And she knew the record that i got and my history. So she knew, you know, she can tell them, embellish on it a little bit. Did he have a knife . No. After gaillards arrest, simora recanted her account of the knife. You made up the story of a knife, two knives . Two knives. She came around finally and we talked about it, and i apologized for it, you know, as long as i got that off my back im good. Worst Case Scenario ill get a couple of years in prison. But just seconds later, during our interview with simora so the knives are a lie . Hm. Are they, judy . No, theyre not. He had a knife . Yeah. Any jury is not going to find me guilty. My only witness is my victim. Why would you recant those elements of the story . Well, i dont want to be responsible for him going back to jail. I miss you. I miss you, too, babe. When are you coming up next week . Tuesday. Same time. I love you, baby. Love you, too, honey. Ill call you tomorrow. Yeah, stay out of trouble. Okay . All right. You be good. Love you. Bye. Bye. Do you consider yourself a victim of Domestic Violence . Yes, i do. This is a man who repeatedly hit you, why are you making it so easy for him in this environment . I dont know. Obviously i want to. Ive always been, you know, more concerned apparently for the other person than for myself, obviously. I understand how it works. Ive tried to help family and to get out of the situation and then of course they went back and then at that point you realize that its better just to let it take its course and hope eventually that things will work out. Coming up Jason Galliarts reaction to judy simoras change of heart. And the two options here obviously prison or probation. The judge hands down his sentence on vegas walker. With Liberty Mutual.

Inside witch talks Sedgwick County jail, Jason Galliarts future most likely rests in the hands of his girlfriend, judy simora. I love her. I mean, when you are with somebody for a long a time, whatever, living with each other, you are going to develop feelings. But i know its never going to be like it was. Though she was left badly bruised, galliart says he only slapped simora during an argument. Later, simora recanted her claim to police that galliart also threatened her with a knife. But during our interview with her, she said she did so in order to protect him. I dont want to be responsible for him going back to jail. And like i said, i i didnt really think he was going to kill me. I just didnt think he was. Because of galliarts criminal history, which includes prior violent crimes, whatever version simora testifies to in court could be the difference between him going away for a few years or decades, if found guilty. If you have to go to court and you have to testify, you are going to perjure yourself on the stand . No. Because they will ask you about your statement. Umhum. And im just curious if you would put yourself in that kind of predicament. Yeah. You will tell the truth . Umhum. Does he know that . I have to. I dont think so. Yeah. The next time we saw galliart he refused to speak to us on camera. We also checked in with simora. She said she had spoken to galliart and shared details with him about her interview with us. Galliarts case will be resolved in the nearby court building. The same one vegas walker is in today to learn her sentence for stabbing a man on wichitas broadway street. The judge can sentence her to anything from probation to up to 75 months or more than six years in state prison. On the record in the state of kansas versus vegas walker. We are here this morning for sentencing following a plea of guilty to one count of aggravated battery. Both the prosecution and defense will make sentencing recommendations. Walkers attorney, public defender eli obrien, argues for probation. Mr. Obrien . Thank you, judge. Ms. Walker, as ive detailed in the motion, is a young woman who unfortunately has had a lot go wrong for her. Shes been bounced around in foster care, and at the time of this incident she was homeless. She was living on the streets and the broadway neighborhood will all know isnt very good. She was on the streets out of necessity. She didnt have a stable home life to go to. She got caught up with the wrong crowd and this confrontation resulted in her taking steps that she understands now were not appropriate, and she is here today to take responsibility for that. Since this has occurred, her family has rallied around her and made the adjustments to where if she was to be released on probation she could stay with them immediately. Probation is going to hold her accountable. Shes not going to be living on the streets. She wants to get as far away from broadway as possible. Shes young enough and shes smart enough that if she were given a chance on probation, i think she would succeed. And thats why i think rehabilitation at this point is more proper than imprisonment. Thank you, judge. Ms. Amex, did you want to proceed at this time . Thank you. Assistant District Attorney jennifer amex believes walker should go to prison for the maximum 75 months. Sometimes the harm is just too great, judge. Prison should be reserved for Violent Offenders, and in this case that is what ms. Walker has in fact become. The prosecution asserts that a dispute over money is what led to the stabbing. To be clear, judge, the eyewitness to this incident indicated that the victim told the defendant that he wasnt going to talk to her and that he didnt owe her any money. That pissed her off because she wanted her money. She went away, she threatened to shoot him. When she came back, she again approached him, went up, slapped him. He slapped her back. That pissed her off. So she grabbed the large butcher knife where she had it hidden in her waist and she stabbed him in the gut. She severed his pancreas, his spleen, his liver, before the knife finally exited the back of his abdomen. She doesnt try to get him help. She doesnt wait for the cops to try to explain what happened. She doesnt take responsibility at the scene. She stabs him, says, i told you not to [ bleep ] with me, and then she leaves the scene. This case could have appropriately been charged as an attempted murder. The question the court has to answer is, is she a Public Safety risk . And the facts of the case would indicate that she is, as does her criminal history. After amex has completed her argument, walker is given the opportunity to speak for herself. I just want to say that even though it sounds really, really bad, im sorry. My goal was not to kill him or to i was scared. I truly was scared. I cant fight no man. Ive always accepted responsibility for anything that i did. The reason i didnt stay is because i was scared. Didnt know what was going to happen. I wasnt thinking straight. I had been up for three, four days. I just wasnt thinking straight. Im sorry. Thats all i can say is that im sorry. And i will never do anything like that again. I just want another chance at life because im better than this. All right. Thank you. Finally, its time for the judge to hand down the sentence. Ms. Walker, your situation is regrettable in a great many ways. Ive done what i can to be as informed as i can in looking at whats the appropriate sentence in your case. And the two options here obviously prison or probation. To place you on probation, i would have to consider the risk you would pose outside of this building. And in considering that, i have to look at what youve got to help you succeed on probation. And right now, that isnt much. You were obviously transient, essentially homeless as youve stated today. Using very serious drugs, and certainly those did not benefit you in this situation. And while your attorney can argue today that your family is now ready to assist you, we really dont know much about that, and whether it would be available regularly in the future is unknown. So those all work against you being successful on probation. Now, ms. Walker, the second thing that i consider most today, and i do with any case thats before me, is your criminal history. You are 21, barely. And youve amassed a fairly significant criminal history for someone so young. Whats troubling about your history is that it has slowly increased in seriousness, and now we are at a situation that in all fairness probably could have been charged as an attempted murder. And this increase in seriousness right now seems to indicate you are a danger to others. To place you on probation puts me in the position of saying, we are going to take a risk on you right now to see whether or not you are going to harm someone else or do an even more serious crime. You take a knife and you stab someone, and almost kill them, you are making decisions. Bad ones. You are right. Bad ones. And theres consequences for those decisions. You wont be going on probation, and you will be going to prison. Because you are young, you still have a significant period of life in front of you to make these changes that you and your attorney say you want to make. Whether you are going to make those or not is going to be up to you. Considering all the required factors, the sentence is as follows, im going to sentence the defendant to a term of term 68 months in the custody of the secretary of corrections. Ms. Walker, i take no pleasure in sending someone of your age to prison, but the state is right, youve shown youre a danger to others, and at this time, the best place for you is prison. Coming up right now shes in crisis mode. She thought she was going to be released and they just sentenced her to prison. Her to prison. Wow thats ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. Its a situp, banana bend at the waist im tryin keep it up. Youll get there. Whoahoahoa 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. Ensure max protein. These days were horn honking i hear you, sister. Thats why im partnering with cigna to remind you to go in for your annual checkup. And be open with your doctor about anything you feel. Physically, and emotionally. Body and mind. Next door to the Sedgwick County jail is the criminal courts building. Inside, vegas walker has just been sentenced to 68 months in prison for stabbing a man. She is now escorted with other inmates appearing in court through a long underground corridor that connects the courts building to the jail. Prior to court, walker was convinced that the judge would empathize with her difficult upbringing and her claim she stabbed the man in selfdefense and release her on probation. Im pissed. I should have got the chance to go home. Everybody knew i was going to prison but me. As a result of what jail officials identify as a suicide attempt, walker is still on racked watch, meaning she must be confined to a special observation cell. But now walker has decided not to return to her cell. Im not going. Yes, you are. Nope. Walker . No. Walker . Walker . Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop it put your hands behind your back stop it right now stop. Right now shes in crisis mode. She thought she was going to be released. They just sentenced her to prison. Its very common. They expect theyre going to get out or they get less time or more time. Some of them explode. Some of them shut down. Its a terrible, stressful time in their life. Sergeant abbott, who has worked closely with walker in the past, attempts to help. Theyre going to stand you up. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Its difficult because you got to keep that separate line of caring too much and doing your job. Miss walker, dont do this. I dont care. Why dont you care . I want her to know i care about her, i do. Thats my job to take care of these people while theyre here. But yet, she cant lay on the floor. Finally, walker returns to her cell. Kneel down on your bed. Kneel, kneel. We want to take your cuffs off. I want to be alone. I dont want to be in here. I want to be around people i know. Ill do whatever in my means i can do to help her. Walkers friend jamie miller witnessed her outburst and is upset by it. I seen her act like a child today. Youre a big girl that pulled a knife and cut somebody, you knew the risk when you pulled the knife and you act like that on the streets. The thing about it is, i know both sides. I know her victim. Everybody knows him. And what she did was wrong. So now its time for you to go lay down and do your time. You did the crime, you wear the jumpsuit, you do the time. Why are you acting a fool in the middle of the day room . Youre a big girl, remember . You pulled a knife. You cut him up. Accept what you did. A short time later, a decision is made to house walker in the Medical Clinic until she is calmer. It is a quieter setting away from other inmates that will allow medical and Mental Health staff to better monitor her. Thank you for letting me have a phone call. Youre welcome. What did your mama say . She told me to quit crying and to start writing. I write a lot. And even though she cant stand me sometimes, she didnt wish i got this long. Ive actually been praying. Vegas walker was seen yesterday by a Mental Health specialist. They felt like she was in crisis also, and they appreciated us putting her in their clinic. So they could keep an eye on her, closer eye on her. I went back up yesterday evening and talked to her before i went home, and she felt like she was in a good place after she spoke with her mom, and she felt like she could go back to housing, and so she could be around people. Okay. Ill go get your jumpsuit and come back and get you make sure and clean your room. All right . A convicted thief continues his stealing ways inside the jail. He snuck behind the deputys desk and stole his chew. Lord knows what happened to it after that.
