wrong way. joshua coffey has served more than four years of his six-year sentence at the wabash valley correctional facility. his job in the kitchen helps him stay focused and out of trouble. that s crazy. i came in at 4:30 this morning, and i ll leave about 5:30. so i work 13 hours. stacking the line! the reason i do it is to get out of my cell, you know, come down here, get a little freedom. you know, eat a little better. the food that they serve doesn t taste bad, but its appeal is horrible. some of the food they serve us looks like cat food. and i m not even joking. i swear, if you put the food that they give us in a bowl and put a can of premium quality cat food and put it there in front of the inmate i m not even saying a cat put it in front of a person that s locked up,
i m not trying to [ bleep ] die in here, but this, you know [ bleep ] good at it, but this? just got to get out and stay sober and find a job. that s about what it comes down to. if i m not drinking or doing drugs and i am employed, how can you go wrong? what could happen? in spite of seeing his release get delayed by seven days because he chose to assault another inmate, joshua coffey s also preparing to go home. you already got a job? yeah, my brother owns a construction company. oh, that s cool. i got a job as soon as i want it. hopefully. as long as he don t get pissed at me for something. how do you like that? is that short enough or long enough? a little bit shorter. that s the one good thing. if it s not good, i ll wear a hat anyway. you won t be a hat out here?
in my neck of the woods, if you ve got a problem with a guy, you you you and mind you, nobody nobody calls the cops. you go outside. one of you get beat up. you go back into the bar, and the guy that won buys the beer. my name is joshua coffey, but everybody calls me country. why do they call you country? because i was raised in the sticks. i stole some copper from a local junkyard, and the proprietor of the junkyard owed me some money, and like an idiot, i stole from him instead of trying to go about it the correct way. figure i learned that lesson the
of the inmate i m not even saying a cat put it in front of a person that s locked up, they re probably going to eat the cat food. tonight s meal is macaroni, mixed vegetables, bread, butter, and a cookie. while not everyone agrees on the best meal, there seems to be a consensus on the worst. the sloppy joe is bad, but that chicken a la king, oh, my god! i was getting the ready to say, i swear you could take a can of alpo and dump it on a plate, and i would rather eat the alpo. coffey will soon be able to broaden his food choices. he is due to be released on parole in three months and has a message for his future self. you re a dumbass, ain t you? look, you sitting on the couch drinking a beer right now laughing at yourself, aren t you? you idiot! nice hands, baby!
me personally? i really don t have no problem with anybody. i may believe in my own set of personal values, but i mean i m not going to i don t hate other people because of who or what they are. but there is one type of person that joshua coffey doesn t tolerate. and now one week away from his release, that intolerance will keep coffey in prison longer. right now we re watching a video of an assault that happened in p-house unit. right here you see offender anderson walking up the steps and offender coffey walking up behind him and they re preparing to go into a cell and assault someone. well, there was a child molester that got mouthy with one of my buddies and, honestly, it just kind of escalated quickly, and he took an ass-whooping. the first offender enters the cell with the second offender, offender coffey, standing outside the door, watching for
