trenity baker admits to fighting another inmate in order to be sent to the highly restrictive segregation unit because her best friend michelle wise, was there for fighting, as well. now both women are back in general population housing units, but they re not in the same one. though baker might have discovered family in heather morton. who am i? she s my cousin. heather morton, she thinks she s my cousin so i let her think she s my cousin. so. she s not my cousin. my mom and your mom. remember bakers? or your daddy is a baker. we discovered this. we discovered this yeah. so anyway, that s what we find out we were cousins. why is this other woman claiming to be your cousin? i don t know. glad to see ya cousin. come back to see me. my mom and trenity baker have the same last name. we start naming off people and
it was kind of you know, we kind of hit at some people that was related to her that was related to me. so that s the reason that we thought we were cousins. yeah, but that s my cousin. but i know her regardless if we are cousins or not cousins. really, i think we re cousins. we re cousins? don t we look alike? later that day, baker filed what s known as a keep away request on morton. that means they keep you away from each other. specifically it s a form inmates fill out to let jail officials know that they have a problem with another inmate in their housing unit. i like heather. she s cool. i just had to put a keep away on her. had to do it. first and foremost we don t want to see anyone get hurt. if someone says that they re being, or have been threatened by an individual, we need to move them for safety. does heather know? no. but you can tell her if you want. i mean, i don t care. that s just how it goes.
i love her. i just love her. i m so glad to hear. i love you. i love you, too. her brother is the one that conducted us and now we love each other. baker is currently dating wise s brother but they share other things in common, as well. they re both mothers and meth addicts. they both have prior drug related convictions and are now awaiting transfer to prison. they each have five year sentences for crimes that while unrelated were fuelled by their addictions. i used a friend s i.d. to not have to use my own name because i had warrants. i have been on the run for two years. it caught up with me. it always does. i have been here three or four times since i was 18. i have been to prison twice. this will be my third trip. wise who holds a noncompensated jail job serving meals says this time around she s grateful for what the
is there someone here you can talk to? i don t want to talk to people. i just want people to leave me alone. i go to all my classes at nighttime. i lay in bed and i have all kind of bad thoughts. normally, wise would have had her beth friend and her brother s girlfriend trenity baker to speak to, but baker was transferred to prison two weeks earlier. it was so sad watching her go. a crying battle. she was a really good support for me, you know. i would like to think i was for her, too. it was sad watching her walk out. let s go to the chaplin. today, wise will have someone to speak to, her brother. chaplain farnham arranged for the two of them to have a special contact visit. he agreed to come at 10:00. he may be running late. is it past 10:00? yeah.
i just yanked baker off there to break them up. pinned her on the floor until the rest of them come and she quit resisting. told her to quit resisting. she said the only way she was leaving was going to seg. that s exactly where she went. the girl is crazy. she needs medication. it stemmed as then trenity baker actually wanted to go to segregation. and it turns out she did because her best friend michelle wise was also in segregation. i m like if i m moving, i might as well fight her anyway and go to seg. i knew michelle was down there. i would rather be where i know somebody. she encourages me to do well. it works. i listen to her. i don t listen to nobody but her. during the one hour she is allowed outside her cell, baker was able to visit with wise. but wise recently returned to general population. ready to go, baker? yes, sir. all right. now it s time for baker to return to general population as well. she s going to housing unit
