it s not like a boys camp. it s like a prison. it s a hard core, hard lock facility. the segregation unit is a controlled unit. the people in here have assaulted staff in the past or they you know, you have overt sexual behavior. you have stealing, you have theft. there are some murderers that we have here. they are violent. you have chaos going on constantly. this inmate s rage in general population brought him time in segregation. i got in a fight. he had 15 stitches in his eye. i have got an anger problem. i don t really think before i act. and that was the main problem.
i got a bad anger problem, know what i m saying? angry because i m in prison. i m angry because i ain t with my family. i m angry because of the way they treat you, the things they do to you. it ain t never a happy day in prison. at the time of our visit wilson had just completed an anger management program, that deputy warden tony patterson arranged for him to take in his cell. he needs to grow up. immaturity. you know. but he s working on it. i got kids, man. everybody going to change one day. for wilson, change is essential. most of his sentence for assaulting the officer will overlap with his original sentence. he is scheduled to complete his prison term and be released in about 18 months. but just a day after we interviewed him, wilson s anger surfaced again. when he saw our crew on the exercise yard, he greeted them with an obscene gesture. one [ bleep ], y all, two, retire. we don t need y all around here no more.
and after that they go into release which is the final level. it s not like a boys camp. it s like a prison. it s a hard core, hard lock facility. the segregation unit is a controlled unit. the people in here have assaulted staff in the past or they you know, you have overt sexual behavior. you have stealing, you have theft. there are some murderers that we have here. they are violent. you have chaos going on constantly. this inmate s rage in general population brought him time in segregation. i got in a fight. he had 15 stitches in his eye. i have got an anger problem. i don t really think before i act. and that was the main problem.
it s all well and good to sit there and talk about, well, you know, i ve got an anger problem and i m going to work on it or make it better. then when you get in the moment and the anger s there, it s like, screw that, i m going to do this, you know? i told him i would write him when i got out, just to have some kind of way to look back and know where i came from. all right. got a lot of mail. after his release to the free world, donald pippin attempted to send a letter to bobby gilbert. said he ate a big mac combo. and then he says some ugly stuff that i m not going to repeat. ugh, yeah. and apparently he s very racist because he likes to say the n word a lot in here. he says, talking about the girl that picked him up, gina, at the bus station.
could i have a brief minute with my client. be honest. i m telling. she s going to have all the records from your school. listen to the question and answer it honestly. don t make it worse. anything else? no, judge. all right. judge, i would call morris s mother angel to the stand, if the court were to decide that morris need not be locked up any longer, would you be willing to have him released to your custody? i m always willing. but i just wonder if that s what s best for him. well, do you think it s best to keep him locked up? here, no, i don t. but as far as what helps, i know that there is a problem and he does not need some help. does he recognize there s a problem? yes, he does. why do you say that. he does admit there s an anger problem. do you think it s appropriate that he go home with you. i ll try.
