why i did that? okay, so why keep okay, but i m simply saying if someone rode up on you and punched you in your nose, you and it going to do [ bleep ]? you can t sit there and say you wouldn t, mr. wright. and if you would, you re lying. if this man came up and punched you in your nose and you seen blood, you are going to sit there and say, well, let me call the police. you just stand right there. hell, no. you re not going to do that. you are going to go to somebody s ass. somebody s ass if they punch you in the nose and you see your nose bleed. if you minding your business okay, and that s what i felt like i had to do. finally, as jennifer is escorted out of the building, her hopes of seeing danica seem like they re about to come true. the grounds are now restricted. the grounds are now restricted. all unassigned inmates report to your dorms. but with the yard shut down for the day, jennifer can only call out to danica s cellblock in hope that she might be seen or heard.
at the time, jennifer was restricted to a solitary confinement cell as punishment for fighting with another inmate. but she and danica were already deeply involved when they shared their story with us. we ve got a really strong bond. you know, i mean, it ain t all about sex. it s a real marriage of the heart for us. you know, it may not be lawful or, you know but to us it s real. at the time of the shoot jennifer s confinement prohibited any contact with danica. their feelings about being separated for the past ten days were palpable. i was writing her last night. i said, hey, sexy lady. girl, you drive me crazy. how have i been spending my days? crying. looking at pictures and crying. and i said, i feel so dead inside without you. and i said, my eyes i said my eyes don t shine and everything looks so gray. today was the first day i ve smiled and that s because i seen her through a crack in the top
woman. this is her now as a little tomboy. this is the longest i ve been away from her. it s hard. it s really hard. she gave me this for valentine s day. and i sleep with it every night. oh, i love her. that s my heart. i just miss her. i m trying to stay close to the things that she gives me. we ve got a really strong bond, you know? i mean, it ain t all about sex, you know what i m saying? we just clicked from off the gate. i just read her letters all the time and talk to her mom and try to stay as close to her as i can. danica will be in prison for the next six to eight years on a robbery charge. jennifer has only eight months left on her sentence. it may sound crazy, but i ll probably end up even coming back. i don t think i can make it out there without her. and i know she can t make it in here without me.
and sometimes some of the boundaries get clouded between the women. some of the people in here haven t been with women and are curious and want to try it. i do it because i love women. a female offender has a lot of needs and part of that is to feel that someone cares about them. i love animals and jennifer takes pictures of little dogs and stuff and brings them to me and i hang them on my wall. three months ago, danica cox and jennifer porter became girlfriends, but they have been unable to see each other since jennifer was sent to administrative segregation on an assault charge. this girl claims something about we put the police on her for something. and she started running her mouth in dining hall. and we just let that ride. i went back to my dorm. and she ran up on me in my quad and punched me. i got scratches on my face and we fought. this is a picture of her when she was younger, as a feminine
and i know it s killing her right now. i m able to see her through a window from single cell. and i sit out here for, like, two hours and i ll draw a heart. i really can t see her. i just see her hand waving. and she can see my hand waving. on this morning, jennifer has her disciplinary hearing to determine punishment based on her fight with another inmate. hey, jennifer, how you doing? not good. it will be okay. am i getting out? it will be okay. are they playing mind games? i don t understand why they aren t allowed to say anything. danica has been sitting outside the disciplinary hearing all morning waiting to see jennifer. we didn t hear nothing.
