came here and got locked up? yes. family problems and all. me living on the streets. that gave me anger right there. i ain t going nowhere. yesterday, we had about eight slots that weren t full. since last night, about 9:30 when we brought another young offender in here, it went full tilt. we went from 17 to 24. we are now full. it s just one of those days, when it rains, we don t have enough buckets. just two cell doors down from this teenage flight risk is 18-year-old kenneth howell. trying to find some way of getting out.
wasn t like that for me. i remember planning it out. he was a senior member of the snm. but in the 80s, around the time of the prison riot, he was also a member of the nuestro familia. you can t do that. you can t be from two cliques. you just can t. word was put out to kill the guy. i happened to be in the jail with him at that time when the word was put out. there was consistency with the corrections officer, so we had the same officer coming in four or five days a week. then he d have two days off. he would then come back on. i studied him, i observed his mannerisms, his behavior. once i arrived at the point which i felt comfortable, i made my move. it was after they opened up all the cell doors for evening chow. while everybody was eating, i took animal histories into his room. i sat down next to him on his bed and talked to him. he got up. turned on his light, which sat across the desk on the wall to roll a cigarette. bible paper.
could be short-lived. sign, third line down where it says inmate signature. don t come back anymore. you say that to me all the time. yes. yes, i m going to behave. jimmy maxwell has seen a modest improvement in his life. he s been moved to a new cell and roomier than his old one. my buddy will is next door. we can talk and pass stuff back and forth pretty easy without much fuss or muss. passing items involve aztec neek known as fishing. but they call is cadillacing. you got a newspaper over there? i got a puzzle, bro. they tie objects to string and send them back and forth under cell doors. he made good burry tos last night and sent them to me. under the door?
yes. family problems and all. there s anger right there. so i ain t going nowhere. yesterday, we had about eight slots that weren t full. since last night, about 9:30 when we brought another young offender in here, it went full tilt. we went from 17 to 24. we are now full. it s just one of those days, when it rains, we don t have enough buckets. just two cell doors down from this teenage flight risk is 18-year-old kenneth howell. trying to find some way of getting out. howell made his first move to scale the pendleton fences at the crack of dawn. almost made it over that time.
this was made by an arian brotherhood member in a security housing unit. they re in there with nothing, certainly nothing to cut through metal. this guy, he got ahold of some kind of cutting agent. the cell doors is all mild steel. if you take a spring clip like part of a fingernail clipper and that is spring steel, hardened skill and they ll sharpen that, they ll cut the weapons right out of their cell doors. they ll simply choose a section of the door and scribe on the door the same size as a weapon that they want to cut and they ll just keep scribing it until it cuts all the way through the mild steel. when gang members in the pelican bay shu make weapons, they re expected to use them. i was involved with the aryan brotherhood back in 1984 when i was at folsom prison. you know, we had some work that needed to be tended to. so i put in some work, stabbed an individual.
