deal, but they know i m locked up. they understand i m just locked up, but i hate them having to know that i m locked up. but i put myself here, and maybe me letting them know where i m at and telling them how i feel about it will help them from having to come down this road that i do. gerald ritchie is only one week away from completing his two-year sentence. do the right thing. got it figured out. i got it licked. i got it licked, i promise. i ll get the opportunity to get out twice. got out and ended up coming back both times. i ve got brothers in here, man, that are never getting out. talk to people, it makes me feel like i m selfish, like i m not taking advantage of something that i absolutely need to take advantage of, because not everybody s got that chance. some prison sentences don t end, you know what i mean? it s a hard pill to swallow.
break you. you got to overcome that. so that s what i m doing, man. i m surviving. that s what i m doing, man. i ve got too much time to start crumbling now. gerald ritchie is also in one of the confinement units, and he s not happy about it. it s horrible. they had punishment in mind when they built this place. that s a fact. let s make these guys understand that, hey, if you come to prison, this is how you re going to live. this is how you re going to live and we re going to take these rules to the nth degree. ritchie says that even though he s in confinement for being one of three white inmates caught assaulting a black inmate, the fight was not racially motivated. but he admits his tattoos are. my swastika. even though it s not necessarily the best artistically, it s one of the ones that i m most proud of, because it means the most on the whole. it s empowering and uplifting. it s a symbol, man. not only does it elicit a response from others, but it elicits a response from
all people ain t the same, you know? ritchie is four months away from completing a two-year sentence for intimidation of a peace officer. he is also member of a prison gang called the saxon knights. they both share similar ideologies in their creeds and oaths and in their bylaws. that s another one right there that i m most proud of. my saxon knight crest with the bolts. he actually was the saxon knight president for this facility at one time. these organizations start taking possession of certain parts of the facility, such as where they were working out, the saxon knights will say they own that part of the facility and no other offenders are allowed to go on that turf without paying some sort of consequence. richey and two other members dished out consequences when they attacked a black inmate.
deal with. they ask about me all the time. they know i m locked up. i ve been locked up a lot. they understand i m just locked up, but i hate them having to know that i m locked up. but i put myself here, and maybe me letting them know where i m at and telling them how i feel about it will keep them from having to come down this road that i do. gerald ritchie is only one week away from completing his two-year sentence. do the right thing. got it figured out. i got it licked. i got it licked, i promise. i ll have the opportunity to get out twice, and got out and ended up coming back both times. i ve got brothers in here, man, that are never getting out. talk to people, it makes me feel like i m selfish, like i m not taking advantage of something that i absolutely need to take advantage of, because not everybody s got that chance. some prison sentences don t end, you know what i mean? it s a hard pill to swallow.
guy, a guy out here, and basically they re just hanging out. they already know what s playing. i mean it was premeditated. the men are waiting for a black inmate to exit his cell. he s immediately met by ritchie. he was actually standing at his door waiting for the door to be opened. and he assaults him and chases him around with another this guy here is just kind of being a spectator at this point. you ll see another inmate come running from this side that also aids. now you ve got the three white guys running around, assaulting the one guy here. and, finally, they corner him and get him down and all three of them get on him before the officers can actually respond and activate their chemical agents. the victim received treatment at a nearby hospital and ritchie was transferred to the segregation unit. he has been extremely disruptive and disorderly in our general population. and i ve given him multiple chances, so that s the reason i chose to place him in administrative s
