after working out in the yard, inmate samuels meets with counselor woodford to review his case and plans for the future. go on in. there was a concern about giving you that break because you were right there on the wall. yeah, i know. it could have gone either way. i know. and the only reason you got that break is because the lieutenant said, i believe this kid can turn it around. don t disappointment me. you change your own destiny. yeah. so you ve got to stay out of trouble, okay? i m trying to do my time, not starting no trouble. what it is is, i m trying to learn how to walk away from it. that s going to be hard. things happen. around a bunch of men and we all got our own issues and stuff happens. samuels behavior inside prison determines the length of his stay, but with little education and no plans, it s going to be a tough road ahead.
lee. oh. he s still not getting more hours. the fight investigation in ad seg found both samuels and edwards guilty of mutual combat. samuels has moved to the reception center and is awaiting transfer to another penitentiary in the coming weeks. there he will serve out the six months remaining on his sentence. that was on the yard. they were playing basketball. edwards was getting kind of rough with samuels, right, he didn t like the way they were playing, didn t like what was happening to him, so he just swung on him and tried to hit him. from there the fight ensued. he was looking at getting 360 days. credit for this incident, but since it got reduced down to a lesser offense, mutual combat, he received 61 days, which he was satisfied with.
due process. a man, he has that right. he has witnesses to be called right here. he has the right to tell his side of the story and present witnesses like we would do in court. same thing. going up to the hospital, second floor. before officer deed meets with samuels witnesses, he visits edwards who s still recovering from the incident in the infirmary. edwards, i m officer deed and this is officer carson and i have a 115 for you for the fight you had on the yard the other day. it charges you with battery on an inmate. okay, this is a division a offense, carries a maximum time of a 360-day forfeiture of credit. it says here that i harmed somebody. who did i harm? the individual you were fighting with, supposedly fighting with. is he in the infirmary? no, he is not. i see.
not worried about the [ bleep ]. caught on a gun charge. went to county jail, got out for that, got another gun charge, got sentenced to the penitentiary. got out now. i got a violation for access to a gun. never had no positive influence. my influence was the streets. and i thought that was positive because that s all i knew so i m thinking that s the right way so i m going to go that way. that s what i did. samuels wants to turn his life around for the sake of his son. he doesn t want his boy to grow up without a father like he did. that s my life right there. that s what i got to live for right now. that s what i think about all the time. i want to straighten my life out for him because i ain t never had no dad. even though my dad would have been good to me, because i knew who he was, he fell victim to the streets. i don t want him to be the same.
all right, jamie. i went upstairs, investigated five guys up there now. talked to 27? yeah, talked to 27. what did he say? he said he didn t see anything at all. however, i ve got about three individuals that said edwards swung on samuels first. that s right here, too, he was the aggressor. he was the aggressor. samuels is probably the one charged with grave bodily injury because he the injury that edwards suffered, he got knocked out. although the evidence leads to self-defense, samuels could still receive an additional year on his sentence if found guilty. it s not the first time edwards had been aggressive like that out on the yard. a couple of times they tried to stop him from fighting. this time he wouldn t listen. he thought he was a big tough guy out there. he ran into a buzz saw. yeah. that s what happened. that s what you call yard justice right there. that s it. coming up next on lockup: extended stay we got 24 hours to stay ahead of you.
