they got me housed in administrative segregation for stabbing an inmate around 7 months ago. he got into it with another inmate. and charged him 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
i knew all this was going to be like this, i wouldn t even fought dude. i have two witnesses said you swung on him first. we both swing on each other. mine head and his head. mine just affecting him a little more. that s all. i need you to write down your statement for me okay? what is the a felony? misdemeanor one. and i supposed to be getting out in a couple days. you got to learn you got to learn how to keep your cool while you are in here,man. i understand it s hard so you don t get other charges adding on to you. i don t understand how he could press charges on me when he started it? i don t get it. i ain t never been no punishment for fighting nobody like that. we just fought. he got a couple bruises, i didn t. coming up, mark hinkston loses a friend on the pod.
mr. hinkston has been coming here since he was a juvenile. i always conversate with the inmates because i know every one has a story and there is a reason people keep coming to jail. the foot here isn t that great. the officers aren t that great. so why are you continuously coming here. the cell s doing to me. i been in here going crazy. i believe it. but what got you inside that cell? what got you inside this facility? what makes you go out and commit another crime to get incarcerated again after serving time for five years? inaudible. so you been innocent every time? i m innocent this time. i said every time. do you know what i call the definition of crazy? what. when you keep trying to do the same thing over and over again and you get the same result and it s not positive, that s crazy. all right. so you need to change something in your life. i i m forced to stay here. against my will.
he sthere s a guy out there whose making a name for himself in a sport where your name and maybe a number are what define you. somewhere in that pack is a driver that can intimidate the intimidator. a guy that can take the king 7 and make it 8. heck. maybe even 9. make no mistake about it. they re out there. i guarantee it. welcome to the nascar xfinity series. at the hamilton county justice center, mark hinkston
i don t think he can cope well with the general population. i glad they did. put me on add seg for real. i have a lot more self control than last time. i had been in general population, i probably would have had a fight just because who i am. i can t let nobody play me or disrespect me in no way shape or form. everything is a choice i been reading in this bible. i need to change my ways, critical thinking and everything. is that easier said than done? it s going to be a hard thing to progress. because i ain t never thought about it like that. i have to find something. something. i don t know. i ain t figured it out yet. yeah, this is the terror zone right here. this is what i do all day, man. mark hinkston says he s been trying to change his behavior as well. he s written a book and has been advising younger inmates on the unit like paul green. but now green has been transferred to state prison to serve time for an escape conviction.
