it was a hard ball of paint and i used it to just bounce off the walls, sort of like a tennis ball out of boredom. i ve been in jail for 14 months and locked up twice before. in both cases, i signed the paper and admitted my guilt and this time, i am completely innocent of the charges against me. the idea that this ball was a weapon is completely unfounded. i have had no violent anything since i have been in here the past 14 months. mr. kronsberg, here s my issue with your story and your history. yes, sir. how many times have you been in 1a for serious violations? twice all together since i ve been locked in jail. have you heard the term progressive discipline? yes, sir. i have. you know what that means? yes, sir. the more you break rules, the more time you re going to serve in lock-up. i understand that. i can assure you, i will never, ever, ever do this again.
tilghman kronsberg will also leave the jail someday but it will most likely be on a bus to state prison. you have a visitor. kronsberg admits to killing his girlfriend during an argument in which he said she threatened him with a hammer but even those closest to him are not optimistic about his future. i think he ll go to jail for a long time. i think i ll be dead before he gets out. i ll never be able to really be with him again. i know that. how you doing today? all right. jean reese is kronsberg s mother. though he was sent to segregation for creating a weapon, he is still allowed one visit per week. see your id. reese tries to see him while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. when he first came in, i didn t know how to stay or what to feel, i was shocked about what he ll done. but i thought, he s my son and i
coming up got the pizza party coming at the end. not really worried about the pizza, man. i m worried about getting on out of here. the turning leaf inmates prepare for graduation and tilghman kronsberg gets a visit from home. me giving into them, i m not doing that. i m hanging up. you re hanging up? yeah, because i can t listen to this anymore.
bonding out is not an option for tilghman kronsberg, who s awaiting trial for the murder of his 25-year-old girlfriend. she was struck with a hammer, choked, and stabbed multiple times. in the days prior to the killing, kronsberg changed the cover photo of his facebook page. it was a bloody image from a movie about a serial killer. it s the worst thing possible. i mean, my lawyer when i first met him, he just slammed the paper against the window and i was just like, are you [ bleep ] kidding me? i can t believe that was on there. i just changed that too. until recently, kronsberg was housed in the jail s maximum security wing where he kept a low profile. i ve known mr. kronsberg for probably about a year. he s a quiet inmate. he ll walk around all day. if you tell him to do something, he ll do it. thank you, sir. when the inmate is always doing the right things, you still have cell searches to do and you still search them.
during his cell search eight days earlier, officers found contraband in kronsberg s box of personal items. as soon as we touched his box, he said, oh my god. we pulled the cap of it off and he had buck, which is homemade alcohol and he had enough to fill a basketball up. i m pretty much an alcoholic, so i like to make wine while i m in here. some people can hold their drink, some can t. some of them, if they get liquored up, it might be a good throw down here. without the buck, you ve got problems, but with the buck, you ve got real problems. drinking isn t the best part, it s the actual making it and taking care of it. it s something for me to do constantly during the week. i have to check it, make sure the temperature is right. heat it up, what it needs to be, burp the bag. all that stuff is just something to do. if kronsberg was bored before, it will be worse now.
