these particular closed custody inmates are very special management. they re in this pod segregated for a reason. you ve always got to stay on your toes when you re around them. the final factor in the unprecedented decision to isolate four women in a unit large enough for 32 came after one of them viciously attacked another inmate. the attacker was cynthia apkaw. apkaw is extremely violent. she severely assaulted that inmate to the point she needed facial reconstructive surgery. so that s why we do what we do now for the precautions of these people. she disrespected me so i beat the crap out of her. i went out there and i beat her ass in the cell and i pulled her out. dragged her in the middle of the hall and started beating the [ bleep ] out of her. i stomped on her face and beat her head into the floor. i don t think you can ever prepare yourself for everything.
so i told my lawyer, [ bleep ] let s do this quick. i want to get out of here. as a result of his plea deal, martinez will be sent to a state prison. since disavowing his gang, he knows there still may be some trouble ahead. i d rather die on my feet than live on my knees. if they come, they better come hard and strong. you know what i mean? and everybody who knows me will say that because i m not going to [ bleep ] sit there and bow down. i don t bow down to nobody. while martinez contemplates life with neither his fiancee nor his gang, there s anger in the adam 100 pod and it s all directed at one detention officer. what a jerk! what a jerk! jerk! as inmate cynthia apkaw was returning from a visit with her lawyer, she managed to slip her cuffs. though she was quickly restrained again, officers removed certain possessions from her cell as a sanction.
sister! just didn t feel right. didn t feel right. i have seen people trip that are facing the death penalty. but i ve seen a lot more just regular weak bitches, come in looking at a year and try to kill theirself. later that s night, that s exactly what trevino tried to do. when officers did a routine check on her cell, they found trevino passed out. she had torn off a piece of her nightgown and tightened it around her neck. i could see her on a gurney. her face was already turning blue. so, yeah. the staff cut the cloth from her neck and successfully revived her. she was immediately transferred to medical. with trevino in the medical unit, the adam 100 pod is a very different place. with the three of them in there, apkaw, simpson and lopez, they re all relatively calm
apkaw faces up to a 15-year prison sentence on charges of aggravated assault after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend. i had a rough childhood. i mean, that s all i could say. my dad passed away when i was younger. he was in prison most of the time. i had to take care of my brothers and sisters, and i had to grow up fast. i didn t have a childhood. i wasn t there to carry around a purse and have a cinderella crown on me. i had to grow up, feed my family, do what i have to do. my mom wasn t taking care of responsibilities so i had to do that. the girl you got in a fight with, why did you get in a fight with her? she was making comments about raping kids and just sick comments. just making comments about kids. about just disgusting stuff. she started calling us all racist names in the pod. she was snitching to the cops and lying at the same time right in front of me. i just had it. while apkaw gave us an assortment of reasons for the
when apkaw attempted to stop them, she put up a struggle and one of the officers tased her. that [ bleep ] that just walked by, he s the one who tased me. tased me for no reason. he had no reason to tase me. she s probably going to hold a grudge for quite a while. when it occurred, when i did tase her, she stated that i bought my ticket. which basically in jail or prison lingo means she s going to put a hit out on me. with these inmates i would take the threat seriously. they have the potential and the means to do so. what happens next in this pod? do things simmer down? what happens next, wow, that s a good question. you tell him to ask me that? i don t know what happens next. that s just you know. that s for us to know and them to find out. we don t know. we re all opportunistic criminals where you can t really predict. i take it everybody s a little pissed off? no, we re not pissed. what are you? patient.
