or not. laurie, l-a-u-r-i-e, pritchett is the police chief of albany, georgia, and he set about doing things differently. king used the students method of direct confrontation in albany, georgia, however, police chief pritchett cleverly countered the non-violent demonstrations with non-violent arrests. all right, you re under arrest. dr. king thinks he s going to draw violence on to protesters, but the police chief down there was actually very savvy. he decided he was not going to play to the television cameras. a ban on demonstrations has brought more than 1,500 arrests of desegregationists so far. they prayed. they were asked to move off. they refused to do so. you re under arrest. pritchett jails dr. king and a lot of other demonstrators,
many of santa rosa s general population inmates have been transferred here after proving to be too much to handle at other florida state prisons. among them is danny pritchett. pritchett was just recently received here at santa rosa. he is a predatory inmate, has a history of that outside of prison and inside of prison. i never got along with anybody because i was always standoffish, i was a loner, staying away from everybody. because i didn t understand anybody or nothing. i came to prison when i was 22 years old. i am in here for a rape charge. i had a minor problem. i became, oh, lustful within my mind, and i was always thinking about it. it s like the more i thought about it, the more it increased in my life.
if you do that, you can t go to heaven. so, do you feel you re not going to heaven? well, no, because i am no longer in that situation. it s been, i d say five years since i ve done anything like that. but soon after his arrival at santa rosa, officials say pritchett begin to act out in other ways. i was here three days and i received a dr. they said that i was gunning down a woman officer, looking at her in the officer s station as i was in the shower. gunning is prison slang for masturbating in front of others. but i didn t do it, wasn t thinking about her, wasn t looking at her at all. didn t even know she was even there. while pritchett denies inproprie couct in front of prison staff, anthony bell freely admits it. like i say, it s like this, you know what i m saying? i m a man. not ashamed to say what i do, know what i m saying? yeah, okay, i gun. know what i m saying?
somebody in there before he did it. it s been my experience that if you really want to commit suicide, you re not going to cry for attention before. so i m assuming there s some type of secondary gain. we ll find out what that is. a lot of times they ll do it to be placed up front on sohs status. it s a little cooler up there, it s an air conditioned building. it may being some just that simple. while bell will be under constant observation, inmates like danny pritchett often devise ways to gain a bit of privacy. the door stays open all day long. so if someone is passing your door, you don t want to be disrespectful to them. you may be using the restroom. so you tie this sheet up here. use your i.d. card. and this is your blind, and you use your bathroom, whatever you want to do here. and afterward, you take it down, put it back where it was, and everything is back to normal again. pritchett might not have seemed this modest 33 years earlier, when he kidnapped and raped one woman
pritchett is serving a life sentence for sexual battery, kidnapping and attempted kidnapping. i went to this mall, and i was sitting there lusting over the women getting out of their cars and going places. just as i was getting ready to get up and go home, a lady got out of a car, and she was dressed li sheas, i don t know, a prostitur something. and something about her triggered me. pritchett abducted his victim in her own car and sped away. but then as i was driving out of the parking lot, she started to reach for the door handle to get out, and i grabbed her arm and pulled her back. and then she didn t try any more after that. were you threatening her? no. i did verbally say don t do that again or i ll kill you. when this took place i wanted something that i didn t have. i wanted to try all of the different positions and ways to have sex. it became an obsession with me. pritchett released his victim
