lockdown for having fought with another inmate. it was a one-on-one fight, and it s a dead issue now, you know what i mean? it is what it is. it s no big thing. it s something that always happens. it ain t nothing, you know what i m saying? that s all there is to it, you know? kunkel claims his conflict with inmate robert hurd was just a run-of-the-mill jailhouse fight. but hurd says kunkel sucker-punched him to avoid a fight with a bigger inmate who was angry kunkel was flaunting his tattoos. when he got caught up with the big black guy he was nervous to fight that certain person. so he was looking for a plea bargain, basically, a way out, to sign out. so the way to sign out is to run up in the middle of a pod where there s cameras at and run up and swing on somebody who the police can see what s going on and come break it up. and that way he get moved so he won t ever have to face that man. so as i m coming down the steps, one of my peoples ask something to me and i turn my hea
like i laugh it off, ha ha. don t disrespect me, i won t disrespect you. after his stay in segregation, kunkel is less interested in respecting any of his fellow inmates than he is in just putting them all behind him. on tuesday? all right. thank you. all right. i start trial tuesday. start picking my jury on tuesday. and just go from there, i guess. knowing he would soon be facing a jury, kunkel s lawyer also advised him to grow his hair. because when you go in there looking the way i look, people are like, damn, this dude s been in prison all his life. he s got to be [ bleep ] up. know what i mean? i don t want people to think that about me. know what i mean? they offered me three plea bargains already and i turned all of them down because i believe that at least one person on that jury panel will be like, you know what, he was entrapped and i can t convict him on that. and if i didn t feel that way, i would have took the plea bargain a long time ago. let s see what they have
you know what i mean? if you don t like me, tell me. i don t give a damn. you know what i mean? what do you think? yeah. it s good. ready to get out? i ll hit it with a razor tonight. yeah. cecil, what s next? beautiful women and some good food. that s what s next. but even kunkel s surrogate cousin josh pike predicts the good times might not last for long. six months to a year. if he ain t back by then, he should be out for a while. i m happy that he s out but i m pissed they let his ass out. what? i want to beat him up now. look at him. you know what, though? that gives me hope. if that tattooed ass [ bleep ], if they let him out, then there s hope for me. i guess. what s not next? coming back to jail.
kunkel will soon walk out of jail with one year of probation to complete. and before he leaves, kunkel has decided to return to his pretrial look. we re going to shave this dirt off my head. why is that? because i m tired of having it. it was just to show for a minute. people see me with all the tattoos and they think they re going to think what they want. but there s you know what i mean, you ve got to get to know me as a person, as a man, as a human, you you what i mean, before you jump to conclusions. you know what i m saying? if you take the time to get to know me, you ll see, man, that i i feel i m a caring person, a loving person, a person that has respect, respects others regardless of race and gender, whatever, you know what i mean? but if you cross that line, then, you know, it is what it is, man. i just take a day at a time. know what i m saying? i m not here to change people s feelings, you know what i m saying? either you like me or you don t.
