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.
interview had something to say to staff about it. with all due respect, you know, to you guys, you know, mind your business, man. mind your business, man. if i m not killing this man or little joey down on the range ain t getting raped, man, just be cool, man. be cool. we don t want no trouble. we live here. ritchie claims the fight wasn t racially motivated, but over a small debt. it was over a couple dollars. that s about what it comes down to. there was a few choice words and i really don t want to delve too deep into it because i m not the only one involved in this. i don t want to implicate or talk about anybody else or anything of that nature. coming up this is what i don t like to see. those are razor blades. inmate-made shanks and one of the inmates who makes them. if it was big enough to put in your hand with a little left over, it will be big enough to be sharpened into a weapon.
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 myself. that s what symbolism does for you. that s what symbolism has done since the beginning of forever. the right hand is mine, and the left hand means honor. so together they say my honor.
you know what i mean? violence happens, you know? what do you expect? you throw a bunch of violent offenders together and you expect us not to clash? at the end of the day, you better pray you re the one left standing and not hurting. as authorities continue to investigate the stolen tv, wright has petitioned to be placed back into his original housing unit. at this point, i don t know what s going to be allowed to happen with wright, i don t know if he ll be allowed to return to p-house because of all the animosity he caused himself that night because of his tv, so i m sure we ll be evaluating his housing assignment. while authorities determine a safe housing placement for wright, he will remain in confinement. on i don t like it, but i m adapting. i got to make it work, you know what i mean? these people place you in all kinds of situations to try to break you, but i m surviving. that s what i m doing, man. i ve got too much time to start crumbling now. gerald ritchie is als
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 myself.
