after two inmates exchanged words, one threw his food tray at the other, triggering a brawl. following jail protocol, unit officers wait for the jail special operations crew or soc, to arrive. the unit officer, they re supposed to step back and clear the area. get everybody back to their cells. let the two combatants continue. only time we ll step in is if one of the combatants has a huge edge and the other is in danger. a soc officer arrives and orders them to stop fighting. one inmate tries to comply. the other continues to fight. soc officers move one of the men out of the unit. having just been released from segregation, david ratliff is now on his way back. [ bleep ].
if you hadn t ran back, you probably wouldn t have got 30 days. okay? well all right. damn! this is ratliff s third stay in segregation during the three months he has been in jail on two unrelated charges. the first is for fleeing the scene of a single car accident that left his passenger with injuries, including brain damage. while on the run, he was also charged with criminal sexual conduct for an alleged relationship he had with an underage girl. he has pled not guilty to both and is awaiting trial. got into some trouble, hung out with the wrong people. got into drugs. ratliff has had numerous prior stays, convictions including assault, trespassing and drug possession. but the name david ratliff is known in the jail and in the city of charleston for other reasons. it s a name he shares with his father.
ratliff will be allowed much more time out of his cell and have other privileges restored. ready to eat some food, some cantene. shave. looking pretty rough. i actually just got a mirror i could see myself in. i look bad. ratliff is now in the same unit as adrian smalls, who has been writing spoken word pieces while awaiting trial. stand up and rise to power. this is our year, our month, new day and the time is ours. we must all crawl before we walk and also think before we speak. because the blood of our black brothers mixed with the of our black mothers have cried our very own red sea. smalls hopes to reach a plea deal as a result of a punch that left a man with brain damage and in a coma. i call it my lab. i sit and write my mind.
