what you see here is you ll see ritchie, and there s another guy, a guy out here, and basically they re just hanging out. they already know what s playing. i mean it was premeditated. the men are waiting for a black inmate to exit his cell. he s immediately met by ritchie. he was actually standing at his door waiting for the door to be opened. and he assaults him and chases him around with another this guy here is just kind of being a spectator at this point. you ll see another inmate come running from this side that also aids. now you ve got the three white guys running around, assaulting the one guy here. and finally, they corner him and get him down and all three of them get on him before the officers can actually respond and activate their chemical agents. the victim received treatment at a nearby hospital and ritchie was transferred to the segregation unit. he has been extremely disruptive and disorderly in our general population. and i ve given him multiple chances, s
[ bleep ] until i find what i m looking for. wright s aggressive behavior soon created problems with other inmates. i m not looking for trouble, but at the same time, i m definitely not ducking them either. you feel me? you know, this is the penitentiary. you ve got to stand tall, ten toes down. you know what i mean? you can t take no losses? you know what i mean? it s the wrong place to be a bitch? you feeling me? it s the principle. you feeling me? you get killed for stealing on the streets, so why not in prison? as wright continued his tirade, staff became concerned it would lead to a fight and sanctioned wright for taking matters into his own hands. he was transferred to administrative segregation in the custody control unit or ccu. welcome to the belly of the beast, man. i hate lockup. [ bleep ] back here, for real, for real. just make your time hard. all you do is think. ain t no books, nothing. when you re in ccu, you don t get really nothing but a bar of soap, some toot
doing time is a. [ bleep ] man. it s nothing but you and your thoughts and these brick walls. you feel me? and if you ain t strong, man, you re going to crumble? you know what i mean? until you walked in my shoes and did this, you can t tell what it s like, man. it s hard. doing time is hard. during his time at wabash, wright says he s felt vulnerable because of the color of his skin. other prisons i ve been at, it s more hispanics and blacks, you know what i mean, but this is a heavily populated white prison. it s a culture shock. but not every inmate at wabash is concerned with maintaining a racial divide. adrian davis and tim harris have found some common ground. particularly when it comes to personal style. davis regularly helps harris figure out what to do with his afro-like hair. it s harder braiding white dude s hair than black guys. so i ve got to part it certain ways and i got to put more
know what i mean? and i grew a hard exterior because i didn t want to be the victim, and over the course of time, that became a part of my character. and recently wright s character was put to the test. he came back from recreation one night and noticed that his tv had been missing, so obviously he knew someone had took it. i think he was pretty upset about that, as anybody would be. this is the penitentiary. are you serious? people [ bleep ] kill for that, for real, for real. surveillance video from the unit shows another inmate standing outside wright s cell. he then enters the cell and then seconds later exits with wright s television. the inmate then places the tv inside another cell. someone stole my tv while i was gone, so, you know, when i came back and [ bleep ] things got ugly. from what i ve heard, he approached several offenders, kind of called them out, wanting to know if they had taken his tv. i started going from cell to cell, searching my [ bleep ]. i m goi
never misses picture day. every month. this one right here is actually a photo that i took that last month s pictures, which you can see it has a different background. we took these ones inside of rec. so i got my fro out in that one, it s looking a little bit rough. so i didn t send these out too much. i passed these ones out to the guys that i hang around with here, so they had a picture of me to put in their photo album. the sun is bright. makes a good picture. i can t really see too much. the sun is too bright. it s kind of reflecting off the screen. i couldn t see it too good. i guess when it prints out, we ll see how good they are. feet can t be on the wall. can t be on the wall? man, you re so strict! privileges like this are reserved for general population inmates with good behavior records. carlton wright, who is one year into a 50-year sentence for robbery has mostly stayed out of trouble. i can t see it? carlton wright actually came
