oh, it s a letter from my brother robert. hey, bro, how are you doing in here? i hope you re doing good in here. i know it sucks being in here and you never really got a chance to bond with me. now wolford had become pen pals with his estranged sister andrea, who was also in the jail. so lockup came and interviewed me a couple of times. they showed me your picture and i broke down. i honestly didn t know i would do that but for some reason it hit me hard when i seen your picture. rekindling his relationship with his sister might seem like good news. but in prison, robert had become a member of the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. and andrea was engaged to a co-defendant, sheldon hickman. we re family no matter what choices we make or how many times we mess up. a white supremacist has a sister who s engaged to a black man. in the prison world, that is not acceptable. did you know your brother was in the aryan brotherhood? no.
he was much more lighthearted and much more of a jokester. what you want? what you want? bobby the white boy. give me some that, boy. you know. y all know how to do it. soon, this new angle to the wolford story was about to expand even further because robert and bobby were not alone. well, they got my brother robert here, they got my sister andrea here. turns out bobby and robert s sister andrea is also in the same jail. it s weird how [ bleep ] happens. i mean robert wolford is my brother from my dad s side. we have the same dad but we have different moms. me and bobby have the same mom and the same dad. unlike her older brothers who had been in and out of jail over the years, this was 19-year-old andrea s first time in jail. there s times where you have your down days and there s other times where you are just like, well, you can t do nothing about it.
situation to be without your family. it just hurts not being able to see him face to face and actually go hang out and do something a brother and sister would do together. have that family bond that families should have. so here we have three siblings who, although separated by units, were suddenly under the same roof. for the first time in a long time. and andrea was yearning for a relationship with her brother robert, so she started writing him letters. but after so many years apart, that family bond might not be so easily forged. especially given andrea s relationship with sheldon. during his time in prison, robert joined the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. i don t believe i m racist. i believe it s just who i am. i don t sit here call the black dude n word. i just don t believe with a white woman messing with a black
bobby didn t even know who sheldon was. i didn t know it was sheldon. i thought it was one of the funniest names i ever heard. to be honest with you. it sounds like something you would call a turtle or something. this family saga was about to take yet another turn. andrea had grown up with bobby but it had been a long time since she had seen her half brother, robert. the last time i seen robert i was about 7 years old. when i heard that he had went to prison for murder, i couldn t really bring myself to believe it, but at the same time, they pretty much grew up like us, i mean, the drug life, getting in trouble in school, run away from home. andrea hadn t seen her brother robert for many, many years. we carry around a camera to take i.d. photos. so what we decided, with permission from the jail staff, was to show andrea a picture of robert. you want to take a look?
awaiting trial on charges of aggravated robbery and burglary. to which he had pled not guilty. well, my brother robert, he s related because we got the same father. bobby was housed in a different unit from robert. but they had recently had a chance encounter in one of the jail s common areas. i never seen robert a day in my life. i was getting mop water for the mop because i was on cleanup. and he just popped up out of nowhere and he was like, you know you re my brother, right? i said, i heard i had a brother named robert. good to meet you. now i got to meet you. it was good to meet my brother but not a good place i met him in. we just said, hi, how you doing, i love you, and then we had to go back to our pods. not much of a meeting but it was something. bobby wolford was quite a bit different than his brother robert. yeah! big bob s back! he had a much more carefree, lackadaisical attitude.
