Amends. Ma i believe that ive changed to the good. Be careful. Thats my favorite rapper. Hes da future. And a wouldbe rapper pays the price for attacking an officer. Ay ive learned not to touch the police. They will touch you back. Welcome to wabash. Hope yall could stay longer. With more than 2,000 inmates, the Wabash Valley correctional facility in southwestern indiana has a Larger Population and more acreage than the rest of the small town in which its located. Carlisle is a very small community, approximately 1,200 s is their population. Its comprised of a school. It has a grocery store. It has a gas station, a couple of little restaurants, a dollar store and thats really about all thats in carlisle. While carlisle might be a remnant of a simpler time, inside the twin security fences of wabash is evidence of how some aspects of society have grown harder. Were seeing a lot more offenders coming in much younger than they were before and much more violent than in the past as well. Cor
burks internally was charged with assault on the officer and resisting.r it took three or four staff members to actually restrain oo him. as a result, burks was transferred from general population to the custody unit while officials determine what sanction he will receive.o at a minimum, it will include a move to the secured confinement unit where inmates are housed 23 hours a day and lose many of their privileges, including y contact visitation. few people know more about how difficult life in confinement is than christopher trotter.nf after ten consecutive years there, he has been released to v transitional housing unit on his way back to general population. probably known him for 12, 13 years.t when i heard he was going to open pop, i couldn t believe it with his reputation that he has.
no that i m out of that shu, now that i m out of that shu, every day is a good day for me now. and i m not taking it for granted. while trotter recently completed a decade in the stark solitary existence that comes with life in the secured confinement unit, demetrius burks has only begun his 15-month stay there. another day, another dollar. it is the consequence he will pay for assaulting a corrections officer. but it was the murder of an innocent man that brought him to prison. when you re out there living that life, you re really not thinking about the consequences until they occur. but burks had a regular reminder of the consequences of crime. he grew up in the shadow of indiana state prison, home of the state s death row. the neighborhood i m from is right on the same street as the prison. it s like i always seen it. i don t understand why it couldn t have been like a sign like don t go here. you know what i mean?
and this is a window. i would never think a window would make a big difference, but it does, a window. like i said, i call a lady night. and she mooned me the other night. the first time seeing the moon in ten years. i was like, wait, that was cool seeing her backside. and then she smiled at me and i was like it was a a twinkle in her eyes and i seen the stars. i was like, whoa, you know? just peaceful. just peaceful. the simple pleasures trotter has gained are about to be taken away from demetrius burks. just another day in paradise right here. 204 ccu, a.k.a., hell. burks is currently in the ccu, the custody control unit. but prison officials have
opened each fold of that quilt. i want you to know you made this mamma look up that day and thank god for wonderful people such as yourselves. a lot of us are here because we messed up our freedoms and for people are over there fighting for those. and to support them in this right here, it s awesome to be a part of something like that. it s too early to tell if demetrius burks will have such a revelation. but six years into a 55-year sentence for murder, burks has a history of testing authority. burks has a lengthy conduct history for drugs, threatening, intimidation, tobacco. but he went too far when he assaulted officer james manuel. before i could get security, he turned around and punched me. i hit him in his face. he hit me a couple of more times with the handcuffs since he had one loose hanging on the other arm. i was thinking in my mind, i just messed up.
