i m in d west. three seg. got caught with a cell phone charger. right here is where he had it hidden at. there s a little cut underneath the toilet area. anything you wanted to hide in there, it would be a real good hiding spot for it. after officers found the cell phone charger here. tye knowing he might be subjected to further scrutiny and trouble, voluntarily turned in the cell phone, which he had hidden in another location. it meant a lot to me. i could call anybody i wanted any time i wanted. you could make things happen if you have a cell phone. now tye must face the disciplinary hearing board to find out what sanctions he ll face for having the cell phone and charger. he s assisted with his case by antoine stokes, an inmate advocate. when you were screened you pled not guilty.
okay. thank you very much. ronnie tye is dealing with a very different sort of legal matter. he has appealed the administration s denial of his prison wedding. and he s about to get the results from the assistant superintendent, dan mcbride. i saw your request for marriage application earlier this week. and i saw where it had been denied. there are some reasons a marriage can be denied. and one of them is the safety and security of the facility. or the department or the individuals involved. what was the reason for them to use safety and security of the facility? there was concern because you recently were found in possession of a cell phone. actually, i wasn t found in possession of a cell phone. i was found in possession of a cell phone charger. and i gave the cell phone to them after they shook me down and didn t find the cell phone. i brought the cell phone to them.
now is only two days away from his release. in the meantime, he holds a job delivering meals and clothing to other inmates. we re going to be doing that shortly here. we get to go pick up all the clothing, and every one of these guys comes down, and we hand it back and forth through that slot. so at no time do we get actual personal contact with these guys. some of them are looking upward to 10, 15 years each for the most random thing, you know, and knowing that i m getting out in two days doesn t make me the most popular guy. stokes has mixed feelings about his upcoming release. well, it s, oddly enough, a little intimidating. when i was taken into custody, i had just checked into a motel room. 20 minutes later i walked out to my car to go get a cell phone charger, and there was a gun pressed against my head. they said, get down on the ground. my probation violation had popped up on the grid, and i was taken into custody with no shoes, no jacket, just a t-shirt and a pair of jea

i don t care if you like me or dislike me. i didn t come here for friends. during our time at the prison, things began to heat up for ronnie. he was caught with a cell phone charger and later voluntarily turned in a cell phone. prison officials nearly canceled the wedding, but agreed to let it move forward with one major restriction. it would have to be a noncontact ceremony, meaning bride and groom would be separated by a thick pane of glass. a not so minor detail for jodie. so there is like no kissing the bride? when the day comes we will see. for jodie hearing that she would have a noncontact wedding, it was like the sky had fallen. she was crying. she was upset that she wouldn t be able to, you know, hold him. this was her day in the sun, and the prison was ruining it. don t cry.
