you re allowed three khaki outfits. you re allowed one coat. you re allowed two blankets. everything is counted in here. oh, now you re recording. for joshua coffey, who was sentenced to six years for burglary, the only thing more frightening than prison was the thought of leaving. i got nine days. i got nine days before i m thrust back out into society. and i m not free. nobody thinks about freedom as something to be nervous about. you know. because everybody that ever does anything wrong, or scared to go to prison. i m damn near scared to go home. you know? and the bad part is that i got a family that loves me. you know? they might not understand me. they might not agree with the things i do. but ultimately, they love me.
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.
and then when they decide that the victim has had enough, i guess, or they re worried about getting caught, they depart the area, and the victim is standing there on the upper range. his face is bloody, he s leaning against the rail for support, and holding his head. he s been worked over pretty good. i don t regret it, one bit. did you beat him because he was a child molester or because of something else? 50/50. i mean honestly, if the guy wasn t a child molester, it probably would have just blowed over. but child molesters are the they re the crap on the bottom of my boot if i was out tending stalls. honestly, the guy s got 50 years, and i hope the rest of the time that he s incarcerated, he takes a whooping at least once a month. the incident resulted in a postponement of coffey s release. offender coffey received commissary loss, segregation time, which was suspended, and
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,
it s heavy [ bleep ]. 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 drinking or doing drugs and i m employed, how can you go wrong? what could happen? in spite of seeing he has 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?
