you feel me? it ain t much more they can do. but hinkston would soon lose his view to the streets of cincinnati. he was found guilty of felonious assault and was sentenced to 16 years in an ohio state prison. hinkston would not be the last segregation inmate we met with the long history of violence. or the last to make a connection of our production team.
warned us, never get too comfortable around mark hinkston. we don t know from one day to the next what his demeanor is going to be. he has shown that he can become violent in an instant. i feel like i m going to explode almost every day. it s really hard to keep my cool in this situation. hinkston had several violations leading up to his current eight-month-long segregation assignment. he attacked an inmate with a broomstick. threatened the lives of staff and made a shank. his latest violation was for stabbing another inmate with a pen. i ain t going to lie, he was stealing from me, i stabbed his ass as many times as i could. i will [ bleep ] him up with anything i get my hands on. i m not just going fight you, i m going try kill you if i can, man. hinkston was violent outside jail as well. he once served five years in prison for felonious assault and
who are in segregation, they require a lot more of our time and our attention. because they don t really get to engage with anybody for most of their day. such was the case with mark hinkston, who had his own opinion on segregation. i believe that administrative segregation makes you extra ultraaggre ultraaggressive, due to the fact that if they cage you like an animal, you will be subject to act like an animal. when we met him, hinkston was approaching his eighth month in segregation in cincinnati. the staff would describe mark as being one of their most problematic inmates. one of their most dangerous inmates. very violent and volatile. come in here and see what s jumping. when we interacted he was excited to see us, he was excited to have somebody to talk to he would light up every time we were around. those who have dealt with him
off of this pod. they got me housed in administrative segregation for stabbing an inmate around 7 months ago. he got into it with another inmate. he charged the inmate and stabbed him in the back about three times. hinkston was angry because the inmate had stolen his potato chips. i punched him. but i didn t feel that that inflicted enough injury upon him for the crime that he committed against me. so i had two long pencils. and i went and sharpened them. and i came back to the cell and i started stabbing him. another incident. he was in his cell and ripped off a corner bead of the room which he made into the shank.
against my will. and they let me today i ll walk out the door and never look back. how many times have you said that? once. just now. [ laughter ] i find that hard to believe. don t [ bleep ] me. don t [ bleep ] me. you can t even say it with a straight face. don t [ bleep ] me. how many times have you said that? be honest with yourself. never. of course i talk to him. i talk to everyone. but he has to want the help. he has to want to change. he has to figure out what s wrong in his life that he keeps making bad choices. what choices are going on that you are not to make so not to get incarcerated again? coming up mark hinkston becomes an author. i started writing this to have something positive to occupy my time. i plunged the crocodile dundee knife into his right thigh.
