i appreciate it. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] amy, the jail s mental health specialist saw kronsberg the last time he was in segregation and helped him get a change in medication. he obviously made a choice that earned him some more disciplinary time. the only thing is that he might have projected some of the feelings on to me. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. i think he should take responsibility for that and not blame that on my lack of being able to follow up with him as much as he would like to.
people that are the victims of crime want to know why. you ll hear that come up in some of our testimonies you ll hear. founded by amy barch, it s the concept of restorative justice. it s an approach that says it s important to bring people together of the crime and for us to get together and see one another as people and build compassion and understanding. that s where real change happens. when we choose violence as a way to respond to problems, we have to stand responsible for what happens even if that intent is never there. 8 years earlier, ryan kary was one of 12 victims of a murder and robbery spree carried out in virginia. we were lucky to have ryan with us to share his testimony and he s going to talk about how assault impacted his life. kary was left with permanent injuries to his right arm and head. the first time i talked, i couldn t sit in the chair. i was just shaky and nervous, but it s very rewarding.
the turning leaf program run by amy barch is in the final weeks of classes. at the end of the course, we have a graduation. i always tell the participants that s my day off and it s their opportunity to run the class. they do poems, testimonials. amy asked leonard heyward to emcee the ceremony. looking forward to it. the pizza party at the end. not worried about the pizza, man. worried about getting out of here. i can t sit back behind the wall and watch life pass me by. my motivation is that i have a daughter to get back to. i m working on bonding out directly after graduation. i m hoping they call my name as i have the certificate in my hand and that s it and then i m out the door. check. tilghman kronsberg will also leave the jail someday but it will most likely be on a bus to state prison. you have a visitor. kronsberg admits to killing
kronsberg is brought back into the hearing room. the disciplinary board found you guilty on both charges. you re being sentenced to 40 days in disciplinary status. 40 days, are you serious? you were looking at 50. your actions have shown you have not learned. progressively, we re adding ten days. you got less than the maximum but you need to change how you behave within the facility. i ll be sure not to make any toys from now on. here s your copy. 40 [ bleep ] days. god, this is some [ bleep ]. bull [ bleep ] 13, i believe. all right. hey, thanks for coming and seeing me, amy.
