wagner had spread feces all around his cell, including the sprinkler head, and he says he was only trying to clean it up. i ain t got nothing to clean it up with. i tried to clean it, and i didn t realize when i was digging in there, in the hole, that the fire thing, that it was going to pop like that. you have to tamper with it for it to go off. you ve got to actually break a piece off for it to activate in that manner. and that s what they do is they manipulate it, break it. he has to try to do it. it doesn t happen on accident. we are going to use our staff presence and have the orderlies clean out the cells. there is a lot of water on the top tier. right now we will start evacuating the inmates on the top tier. place them on the rec yard so we can get them out of the cells, get it cleaned up. it is always a danger when you have a mass unit of inmates.
inside c dorm, and it has nothing to do with the weather. well, an inmate break the sprinkler head on the cell in, what was it, 12, 10, i believe. we ll shut off the water to the cell to minimize the damage. have the inmate submit to restraints, and then we ll deal with the issue from there. the water is flowing from the cell of inmate troy wagner, who is serving 20 years for aggravated assault and attempted sexual battery. wagner says he broke the sprinkler head by accident. it all stemmed from an incident earlier in the day. i was angry and mad and i had slung feces in the cell. when i get upset and angry, i end up doing things like that. like that? you ve done that before? yes, ma am. really? so, what does that gain you? how does that help? it don t. it don t help me at all. it just puts me in more worse and worse and worse spots.
but you know, they ll all be restrained when they come out of the cell. so, the way we do it here, it actually minimizes the risk to staff and inmates as well. while the inmates are taken to outdoor recreation enclosures, wagner is moved to another housing unit, where he will be placed in a special, tamper-proof cell. the difference between a normal cell and this cell, this cell right here has a reinforced light fixture. we have some inmates that will break the light fixture out, grab a light bulb. this one, they can t do it. this is metal. so they can t go there. and then the sprinkler head is actually protected to where, an inmate, like inmate wagner broke the sprinkler head, activating it. this one they can t get to it. for now, wagner will live under the prison s most restrictive conditions in the close management unit, but staff say even that is no guarantee he s under control.
i didn t do it on purpose it was done accidentally when i was cleaning the feces out of the sprinkler. i had tried to break it a few days before that, but when i did break it, it wasn t on purpose. it was by accident, but i was kind of glad that i did break it, because it got me moved. wagner says he wanted to be moved because other inmates were harassing him over being a sex offender. he is now in a single prison confinement cell and says he s on a search for answers to his problems. i ordered these books right here. i ve got some clippings right here. one of the books i had ordered was called prayers that bring healing and activate blessings. another one i had ordered was prayers that route demons and break curses. the other one is called satan, another one was strongman s his
name, what s his game? and then i ve got one here called the bondage breaker. then i have one here, the wounded heart: hope for adult victims of childhood sexual abuse. i was sexually abused as a child, so i figured i d read that, seemed interesting, so. i figured maybe i ve got a demon in me, maybe i d get this demon up out of me that s causing me to do the things i do, you know, every time, all the time. so if i got this demon in me, i can get this demon up out of me and i can be free of him and i ll be able to go along with my life, you know? while wagner hopes for an epiphany from his new books, jeffrey flanders clings to the hope that some day his life sentence for murder will be overturned. one of the jurors went to school with me, so that was the error in the courts. she wasn t supposed to be on the jury. she was supposed to be expunged
