there, as far as we are. we re just a branch off of them. brothers with a struggle, you know? we struggle to survive together, and, you know, we re here for each other. me, personally, i don t have too many problems. i haven t that words with nobody since i ve been transferred here. it s been more or less peaceful for me. you know, i hang out with a little bit of everybody. a lot of blacks, a lot of whites. you know, i meet in the middle with everybody. gerald ritchie, a member of the white supremacist gang, the saxon knights, doesn t believe such harmony between blacks and whites is possible. we re two different beings from head to the toe, from root to crown. and we re not compatible. we are not compatible. the only time a white dude is compatible with a black dude in a cell is, a, he s a fag, or, b, he wants to be black. that s the cold, hard truth about it. people are going to watch this on the news and hate me for it. believe that.
and goes, you know. because bad things happen in the shower. gaffney, who has pled not guilty to capital murder and is awaiting trial, is a former member of the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. i climbed the ranks pretty quickly. climbing the ranks comes with a lot of responsibilities. you don t ever know who wants to kill you for your position. i have done a lot of things. none of it i m proud of any of it. but when i was young, i thought that was the norm. i got wrapped up in prostitution, drug ring, guns, the fast money, and and before i knew it my life was just a downhill spiral. one thing led to another. next thing i know i am on drugs. gaffney says he was drawn to the aryan brotherhood because they shared a foundation. i grew up with the hate, hate in my home, of black people, black people, black people. that s all i knew. and seeing that growing up, i thought, hey, man, that s what it s supposed to be like. well instead of turning to the kkks, i turned to
tranquility, that is not always the case. inmate tim gaffney has been in the unit for two and a half years and still doesn t take any chances. my eyes are red because i don t never close my eyes in the shower. that s just the golden rule. when you shower, you leave your eyes open. you always keep your back towards the wall. that way you can see who comes and goes, you know. because bad things happen in the shower. gaffney, who has pled not guilty to capital murder and is awaiting trial, is a former member of the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. i climbed the ranks pretty quickly. climbing the ranks comes with a lot of responsibilities. you don t ever know who wants to kill you for your position. i have done a lot of things. none of it i m proud of any of it.
