tell you there are way too many homemade shanks in prison an plenty of inmates willing to use them. we were at the penitentiary of new mexico when an inmate tried to break away from his escort officer. and tried to stab another inmate with a unique homemade shank. he actually fabricated this out of a piece of a pencil sharpener. you can see the rivet right in there. he attached a paper clip and ran it back, put some plastic cellophane on it, put a rubber band around it to make it more easy to handle specifically when it gets full of blood if you were to slice somebody. he actually admitted he put this on there so he could have some control once he sliced the individual. he s pretty ingenious as far as how he makes weapons. the inmate is 30-year-old christopher shiverdecker and his ability to craft ingenious weapons isn t the only thing that makes him memorable. the first time i met him, i was quite shocked by his appearance. i had never seen anybody before
appearance. i had never seen anybody before with a giant bullet hole in his forehead. i got that long, long time ago. it s just a bullet hole. it s like a bullet hole. shiverdecker has had plenty of time to amass tattoos and learn the ways of prison. at an age when most boys collect baseball cards, shiverdecker was collecting convictions. first time i really got in trouble i think i was 10 1/2. i got grand theft auto. since then shiverdecker has spent far more time inside correctional institutions than outside. he s currently serving 45 years for assault, battery, and possession of a deadly weapon by a prisoner. a weapon every bit as creative as this most recent one. i stabbed somebody with some jolly ranchers. i took a bunch of jolly ranchers off the canteen, melted it down into a cone, let it get hard like a rock, and it s actually
put that a little tighter. hold up, shiverdecker. hold up. check this out. if you can put your finger in there, it s too loose. see how loose it was? yes, sir. best thing i can tell you, don t trust nobody. you definitely don t want to trust me. you can still slip that damn cuff, can t you? coming up i did so much damage they said that i had to have a weapon. violent women attempt to balance prison with motherhood. i had guilt. okay, my kid s a thief because i m a thief and what i have to do to change it.
