my bunky. i ended up stabbing him. he had wanted certain sexual favors. i wasn t that way. so i ended up stabbing him, basically to defend myself. the inmate survived. but richardson has not only directed violence towards others, he has turned it toward himself as well. i have tried to light myself on fire one time. caused a lot of burns. i lost two fingers as well to the right arm. so can you show us your arm? sure. if you want. how did you try to light yourself on fire? i had been thinking about wanting to die and i was off medications, so i couldn t go the medication route. no razors are allowed to be bought during a lockdown, so i had no razor, and i figured the best way to go would be to die by smoke inhalation and burn up
this, or he can just turn inside here and walk this way. yes. this is how you do it. you do your back that way. you know what i m saying? ain t nobody gay up in here. few things in prison are as key to survival as having a good cell mate. when you live with a person 24 hours a day, you build up a brotherhood, a sense of you build up a rapport that you don t have with your family. and you re both dependent on each other for survival. but some cell mates can t get along. lockup crews have heard vivid accounts of inmates attacking their cellies. i got into an altercation with my bunky. i ended up stabbing him. i stuck my hand up his ass to my forearm and bashed his head and made him drink out that toilet. and took the toilet and strangled him. when they opened up the door, i tried to throw him off the tier. i tore the sheet and wrapped it around his head and i said, nope, you ain t doing nothing.
for the first time was kind of shocking. you had to wonder what was going through that guy s head to do that to himself. he stood out. when i first saw jonathan walking down the corridor it was like, whoa, i ve seen some some odd-looking dudes in prison, but i think he was one of the oddest. richardson is serving a 55-year sentence for a murder he committed at the age of 19. when we met him, he was assigned to the secured housing unit or shu for the violence he committed behind bars. in this never before seen interview, he explains what happened. i got into an altercation with my bunky, i ended up stabbing him. he had wanted certain sexual favors.
