officers will keep all the men involved under lock and key until they can get to the bottom of the incident on the yard. as rumors swirl about what caused the riot, the counselors wonder whether brook s confession of his sexual crime is to blame. if the trust in the group had been breached, it would mean the end of the therapy program. my big concern is that it didn t come from this group and that s the part that i m trying to process, and i m going to feel a lot better when we find out, really, who started it as far as outing him into the yard. because that s very serious. coming up, the counselors learn the truth about the riot and get their first glimpse inside the hole, as members of the group confront the impact of their crimes.
lifted a finger to stop them. i think that s enough. you mentioned the way the girl was looking at you. did you feel that she was flirting with you or something? no. i felt she was looking down on me. and that s what provoked you to do what you did with her? yeah. susan s friend narrowly escaped losing his life that night. he was just an innocent bystander in ronald brook s desperate act. ron, what was your intent when you picked them up? what were you going to do? what did you think you were going to do? probably to humiliate her.
prison, this is who i am. for some inmates, showing these papers can be dangerous. prisoners with taboo crimes are often targets for violence. ronald brook may have something to hide but he s tired of running from the truth. what i usually do, i reach out down here and get my cases with my court papers in it and i said, you want to know who i am, there it is, dig. i ain t going to go for it. over the years, brook became more comfortable with admitting his crimes and trusted his cellmate with his story. when i first came to this prison in 1997, i moved in with a man named jonesy. and we lived together for nine years and never had any arguments, which is rare in prison. we were best friends. brook admitted details to the
i started using alcohol and drugs in high school. because of the inferior feelings you had? yes. that made you feel better? i didn t have to worry about the future if i was drunk or high. yes. brook s mistrust of women eventually led to the murder of susan worthen, but there are still details about that night that may be too dangerous to reveal. ron has some really deep and scary places inside of him. maybe dark places. those scary places aren t only i think they re things that hopped to him, but there are also things he did. the counselors are hoping brook willhare exactly what he did to susan the night of the murder. as victim advocates, they know how hard it is to open up in the aftermath of a violent crime. well, we re rape crisis
learn that there is the possibility of forgiveness. for the survivors i work with, that go to the prison, for them it s worse to think of that person s life offender s life never changing, that they are the same person they were when they went in. without you guys, we couldn t get to where we re at without your willingness to talk with us and to you know, we just appreciate that. when he is released from the hole, ronald brook will have to decide if he is willing to make himself vulnerable again and rejoin the group. the counselors hope he will take that chance. jesus said, if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. if you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will kill you.
