i felt a punch. what i thought was a punch to the chest. i stabbed him in the chest. and the first thing out of his mouth was, why? that s the first thing out of anybody s mouth whenever they re faced with their consequences. why? why did you do this? or why did you do that? well, if you stop back and think about the actions you took to bring you to this point, you wouldn t have to ask why. i was walking back to the table and they said, are you okay, a.j.? i m like yeah, yeah, i m all right. i was probably still carrying on myself. they said, did he get you? i m like, yeah, he punched me in the chest. they said, no, with a shank. i looked and there was a hole in my shirt and i was bleeding. it was about seven inches long. it was a toilet brush that he had broken off and sharpened up by scraping it on against the cinder block wall or the cement floor of his cell. i care about him about as much as he cares about me.
it is a different life for tiano today. you have a table there. you have four walls that are cement. you have cement floor. you have to use a restroom where you have to eat. there are two people. you have to go to the restroom here. everything is just so i wasn t brought up that way. you know, i m from the old school. and it s very difficult. very, very difficult. not only was he former law enforcement, he still carried himself like a cop and here he was incarcerated in a pretty hardcore prison. i could see he really hadn t come to terms with the fact he was once a law enforcement agent and now he was an inmate. he still obviously struggled with that fact. he was lucky. he was put in a protective custody unit because otherwise he would be in grave danger.

when i was arrested it took me down to my jail, where i worked, i ve got guys that were working for me putting handcuffs on me. and they felt terrible. i mean, i had one guy tell me it s like putting handcuffs on my brother. the jury that convicted him believed that he used the millions of dollars he raised not to help others, but to live a life of luxury, purchasing houses, boats and sports cars. it s a very different lifestyle for tiano today. you have one little table there, you ve got four walls, that are cement. you have a cement floor and no paint. a stainless steel toilet. you have to use the restroom where you often eat. there are two people most of the time in here. you can imagine. you have to go to the restroom here. it s just everything s just so i wasn t brought up that way, you know. i m old school. it s very difficult. very, very difficult. not only was he former law
