all i know is that drugs took me down a bad road and i seen stuff that, you know, you just, you ain t got no business being around. since his arrest 11 days earlier, giroux has been housed in a single-person segregation cell where he is locked down 23 hours a day and has none of the privileges afforded other inmates. i put him in segregation from the moment he got here because of combative nature and the way he was acting. we just couldn t there was no way that was going to happen that he goes to general polaon pod. giroux s bookg on the night of his alleged crime spree was captured by jail surveillance cameras. the process is uneventful until a short time later when giroux is in a holding cell and begins punching the door. moments later, he removes the drawstring from his shorts and ties it around his neck. when staff notice, they assume it could be a suicide attempt and swarm him in order to remove
cut my throat one time and i just filled it in, colored the scar in and branded, basically, jesus saves on my neck. more of a reminder to me when i looked in the mirror every day. giroux s tattoos might represent opposing forces in his life, but he says that s been an issue for a long time, and now he wants to deal with it. i put a request in to the psych doctor about speaking to him about issues that i ve had pretty much since i was young that i ve kept hidden because i didn t want people to think i was crazy. joseph, i think, has been struggling for many years. he didn t want to talk about hearing voices, he didn t want that to be something connected to his personality or what
of mind-altering drug or something that he had no idea what he was doing. giroux, who recently injured his hand after punching the door of his holding cell, has been in segregation because of his behavior and a comment he made about not wanting to house with mexicans. now, he s requested a meeting with sergeant collette who runs the unit. when they brought you in the first time, the reason you went to seg, according to their records, is that you refused to house with the mexicans. yeah. okay. not with any mexicans, just this certain person i ve got a problem with and i got a broke hand, so i don t really want to go to that pod. okay. so it wasn t just any mexican it was just that particular they are trying to put me in there with someone i know i m going to have a problem with in that pod and my hand s broke. i m liable to be here for a long time. i ain t got nothing to do but go crazy with my thoughts in here about how much time i m going to
it. [ bleep ] soon after they leave, giroux becomes enraged again and head butts the door. [ bleep ] though giroux s behavior has since stabilized, sergeant colette, who runs the segregation units, has another reason for isolating him as well. his words were i m not housing with no mexican. he refused to house with anybody that was mexican, and that is not permitted here. mr. giroux will stay in segregation until we modify his behavior and he decides, you know, housing with a mexican isn t so bad after all. most inmates prefer to live in the jail s general population
