was out tending stalls. >> all the meanwhile, they were kicking and kneeing and punching and pretty brutally at that. >> him and his cell mate had 22 shanks in their light fixture. >> i make mine ten inches long. i had plenty of handle room and blade. >> and we turned cameras over to the inmates to record personal thoughts in private. >> nothing but you and your thoughts and these brick walls. if you ain't strong you're going to crumble. nobody want to die in jail with they blood and they guts all around themselves. but now i'm in the state waking up at eight, taking it to the

eight. if i can't appeal i'm going to leave a scar from their belly to their jiv. some say for life some [ bleep ] ride with swords some [ bleep ] with christ. some live for peace that's just a couple of bars throw away bars man, donations. that's the d-boy life. >> carlton wright says he takes the rage he learned on the streets in plainfield, new jersey and pours it into rap. now he is one of more than 2,000 inmates at the wabash correctional facility in southwestern indiana. >> i had a great home and a great mother but by the same token when i step outside my front door it's the jungle. coming home from school you may get into a fight or get jumped or may get shot or harassed by the police.

but when you grow up around that, it becomes normal. you get accustomed to it and some people can make it out of the neighborhood. you know, if you can see an alternative lifestyle but a lot of people are consumed in a lifestyle that leads to prison or death. >> the street doesn't give you bright endings. i ran the streets and did the street life. and i'm in here washing clothes by hand and eating [ bleep ] chips. on the streets i wear my white t-shirt one time and throw it away. in here i have to wash it. things you do on the street is a luxury in here. this is everything, your kitchen, your bathroom, your laundry room, your bedroom all in one cell. >> and you share it with another person.

>> another bro, man, who farts and piss and whatever else he does. you stuck in here and you forced to deal with it. so you better pray you got a cool celly or it won't work. in prison it's reality, man. people watch movies on prison and you say, that's sad. and you turn it off and forget about it. but this is our life. we wake up every day to this, living with these rules and no privileges, you know what i mean. there's no going home from this. >> and wright is a long way from home. >> this is my first time ever in indiana. i never lived in indiana before being incarcerated. i was here for two days before i caught my case. i was originally in ken kechb but i crossed the state line looking for a walmart and ended up in indiana. >> wright was looking for a walmart but his trip involved more than shopping. >> i was pimping on my girlfriend, you can call it a girlfriend or a female companion. i was pimping from state to state for income. i got good communication skills.

communication is my occupation. i'm talkative. i meet different people. believe it or not, a lot of people are looking to have a good time. my co-defendant was a pretty lady. a sale is a sale. sex is a billion dollar industry. >> wright's troubles began when they met a potential john at their hotel. it was christmas eve. >> we went back to his home, spent time there. on the way back to the hotel, things got heated, out of control. she pulled a weapon out and she shot him. >> the victim was shot from the head. wright threw him out of the vehicle and left him for dead but he survived. and a short time later wright and his companion were arrested. she received 30 years and he received the maximum. >> i believe the laws is stronger on black guys here. my whole jury was white.

i didn't have any of my peers. they couldn't understand this type of crime, or understand what happened. they just associated black people with violence. he did it, convict him. >> wright believes his race is a detriment at wabash. >> i'm on the wrong side of the color margin. that's just honesty. this prison is predominantly white. you have people with swastikas and hitler tattoos. it throws me off. this is their prison, you know what i mean? they are comfortable with doing it because it's their prison. >> gerald ritchie is the inmate that wright tries to avoid. >> people like to dance around the racist word. do anything in the world not to be called a racist. i don't beat around the bush when it comes to the racest term. i'm absolutely a racist. people like to say we're in a post racial society and race

doesn't matter and it is insignificant. if race didn't matter there wouldn't be different races. all people aren't the same. >> ritchie is four months away from completing a two-year sentence. he is a member of a prison gang called the saxon knights. >> the aryan brotherhood and the saxon knights brotherhood are both white supremicist organizations. they share similar ideologies in their creeds and bylaws. >> here i have the saxon knights representatives. and other ones right there that is my saxon knights crest with the bolts. >> he actually was the saxon knight president for this facility at one point in the time 37 the organizations take possession of certain parts of the facility such as where they were working out. the saxon knights will say they own that part of the facility and no other offenders can go on in a turf of theirs without paying some sort of consequences.

>> ritchie and two other white inmates dished out consequences when they attacked a black inmate. coming up -- >> the three white guys are running around assaulting the one guy here. >> the prison staff break down the assault and two other inmates bridge the racial divide. >> they've been doing this on camera is a jeopardizing situation for real. but i'm 185 pounds of something real vicious and i don't think they want to see that. when you're a sports photographer, things can get out of control pretty quickly.

at the wabash valley correctional facility in southwestern indiana prison officials allowed us to give cameras to some of the inmates, in order to let them record personal thoughts in the privacy of their cells. among them was carlton wright. >> doing time is a [ bleep ], man, nothing but you and your thoughts and these brick walls. if you ain't strong you going to

crumble. you know what i mean? until you walked in my shoes and did this you can't tell what it's like. it's hard, man. doing time is hard. >> during his time at with a bash, wright says he has felt vulnerable because of the color of his skin. >> other prisons are populated with hispanics and blacks but this is a highly populated prison with white inmates. it's a culture shock. >> but not every min mate is concerned with maintaining a racial divide. adrian davis and tim harris have found some common ground. particularly when it comes to personal style. davis helps harris to figure out what to do with his afro-like hair. >> it's harder to braid a white dude's hair than a black dude's. i have to part it certain ways

and i got do put more rubber bands in it to hold it. >> my hair has been growing five months. but it is starting to get to the length where i can get it where i want it. in a month i will do more with it. >> but both men know that their friendship comes with risks. >> there are white guys that wouldn't get it. the white guys who do get it they mess with black guys, they conversate with it and the ones who don't, you going to know because they have swastikas or they ain't with it. even going this on camera is a jeopardizing situation for real. they be why you doing that on camera. and anything can pop off from this situation. [ bleep ] you got haters everywhere you go. >> why do you do it? >> because i'm not afraid of nobody. i got 30 years. what you going to do to me that i can't do to you.

i'm 185 pounds of something real vicious and i don't think they want to see that [ bleep ]. >> davis' 30-year sentence is for dealing cocaine. harris has ten years for theft and burglary but he has been crossing racial lines before prison. >> you have your white organizations and your black organizations and you have like me i'm a white organization that is affiliated with a black organization. this says white boy from the hood. that is where i'm from. i can't change where i'm from. i can change where i'm going but not where i'm from. my nickname is i.g., insane gangster. they have been calling me that for ten years now. we have black members in the insane but more white than black. it's more white people. gds are more our black branch as far as we are. we are just a branch off of them. brothers is a struggle.

we struggle to survive together. you know, we're here for each other. me personally i don't have too many problems. i haven't had words with nobody since i been transferred here. it's been more or less peaceful for me. i hang out with a little bit of everybody. a lot of blacks and a lot of whites. you know, i meet in the middle with everybody p.m. >> gerald ritchie, a member of 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 are not compatible. we are not compatible. the only time a white dude is compatible with a black dude in a cell is a, if 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 prison officials believe that racial pride might have contributed to an assault that

landed ritchie in the secured confinement unit. >> what you see here is you see ritchie and another guy, a guy out here. and basically they are just hanging out. they already know what's planned. i mean, it was premeditated. >> the men are waiting for a black inmate to exit his cell. >> he is immediately met by ritchie who was standing at his door, waiting for his door to be opened. he assaults him and chases him around. this guy is a spectator at this point. another inmate comes running from this side. now you've got the three white guys running around, assaulting the one guy right here. finally they corner him and all three of them get on him before the officers can respond and activate their chemical agents. >> the victim received treatment at a nearby hospital and ritchie was transferred to the segregation unit. >> he has been extremely disruptive and disorderly in the general population. and i have given him multiple chances. that's the reason i have chosen

to place him in administrative segregation. >> ritchie felt the prison went too far and had something to stay to staff about it. >> with all due respect to you guys, mind your business, man. if i'm not killing this man or little joey down the range ain't getting raped, just be cool. be cool, man. we don't want no trouble we live here. ritchie says the fight was over a small debt. >> it was over a couple dollars. this is about what it comes down to. there was a few choice words and i don't want to go too deep into it because i'm not the only one involved in this. i don't want to implicate anyone else or anything of that nature. coming up -- >> this is what i don't like to see, a razor blade. >> inmate made shanks and one of the inmates who makes them. >> if it is big enough for your hand it is big enough to be a weapon. ì

more than four years of his six-year sentence at the wabash correctional facility. his job in the kitchen helps him stay focuses and out of trouble. >> that's crazy. i came in about 4:30 this morning, and i leave about 5:30. i work 13 hours. >> stacking. >> stack in the line. >> the reason i do it is it to get out of my cell, get a little freedom. and eat a little better. the food that they serve doesn't taste bad. but its appeal is horrible. some of the food looks like cat food and i'm not even joking. i swear if you put the food that they give us in a bowl and put a can of premium quality cat food and put it there in front of an inmate i'm not even saying a

you will see a shank buried just under the grass. that is a place where they drop it and hide it, kick it with their foot in the grass. they want to dispose of it before we pat them down going back into the house. this is what i don't like to see. this right here. those are razor blades. that's not something you want to step on or not something i like picking up. i don't care if you think that is a harmless piece of plastic if you melt it in here it is a slashing tool. they are good at it. >> one inmate in particular at wabash has a reputation for his production of homemade weapons. >> brandon has been in possession of multiple weapons multiple different times, which has eventually landed him in administrative segregation. not only does he make the weapons but stores them for organizations or individuals of organizations. at one time him and his cell mate had 22 shanks hidden in their light fixture.

watching for staff so they don't see this. anderson goes in and starts to rifle through some of the offender's stuff. it appears anderson is talking to the victim and they are having a disagreement. >> child molesters, they should take them, chop off their junk, put them on an island and let them live together. and eventually they would die off. if somebody molested my son i don't want to come back to prison but i probably would for murder. the victim gets up and starts to run out of the cell and tries to defend himself and they grab him and shove him against the rail and begin kicking him and hitting him. then the door starts to shut, so they're all getting slammed in the door. right here you see both of them pushing him back into the cell. all the meanwhile they are kicking and kneeing and punching, and pretty brutally at that.

when they decide that the victim has had enough i guess or they're worried about getting caught they depart the area and the victim is standing on the upper range. his face is bloody and he is leaning against the rail for support and holding his head. he has been worked over good. >> i don't regret it one bit. >> did you beat him because he is a child molester or something else? >> 50/50 honestly. if the guy wasn't a child molester, it probably would have just blowed over. but child molesters are the -- they're the crap on the bottom of my boot if i was out tending stalls. honestly the guy has 50 years and i hope the rest of the time he is incarcerated he takes a whooping at least once a month. >> the incident resulted in a postponement of coffey's release. >> he received commissary loss, segregation time which was suspended and loss of good time.

>> how much time did you lose? >> i only lost a week. but a week is a week. i regret losing time that i could have spent with my family. and you know what, i apologize. i'm sincerely apologize, guys. to be honest, i kind of lied to them why i lost a week. it's hard to tell them the truth. when they see this they're going to know the truth. but that's why i apologized. you know, hopefully by then it will have -- everything is smoothed out. there's some people that they honestly they don't deserve a second chance. now i might be up with of those people. i don't know. because honestly i had a second chance. i get released this time this is my third chance. coming up --

i'm here bleeding lie a [ bleep ] with 50 years. you know what 50 years feel like? people forget about you, man. leave you to rot -- not out of spite, but more or less like, life is busy, man. and the average person ain't going to slow down and reach out. >> the notion of being forgotten is something that every inmate has to contemplate at some point during their incarceration. >> how do they look? >> different.

>> man. i can't do that over, man? >> you got me right there where they're separated. where your finger is right here. >> right here? >> tim harris serving ten years makes it a point to never miss the prison's photo day so he can send pictures of himself to loved ones. >> that ain't bad. >> i should have one in there with sweat pants on. >> right there. >> i took a couple pictures to send to friends and family. and this is what they look like. as you can see they are not the greatest quality ever but they are pictures. they look at them and get the idea. it's nice to see your loved ones. this is the other one i took. it's hard for me now. my brother me being locked up and his kids. he wrote me and said the kids talk about you to everybody all the time and tell how you used to do everything with them. it's depressing and stressing

but at the same time, it's hard to deal with. they ask about me and know i'm locked up. i've been locked up a lot. they understand that uncle's locked up. i hate them having to know i'm locked up. but i put myself here and maybe telling them how i feel about it will keep them from coming down this road i did. >> gerrald ritchie is one week away from completing his two-year sentence. >> do the right thing. got it figured out. got it licked. i got it licked i promise. i don't have the opportunity to get out twice and got out and came back both times. and i've got brothers in here that are never getting out. you talk to people and makes me feel like i'm selfish you know like i'm not taking advantage of something that i absolutely need to take advantage of. because not everybody gets that chance. some prison sentences don't end. it's a hard pill to swallow,

boy. it's heavy. it's heavy. i'm not trying to die in here. [ bleep ] this. i'm good at it [ bleep ] this. just got to get out and stay sober and find a job. that's what it comes down to. if i'm not drinking or doing drugs own employed how can you go wrong? what could happen? >> in spite of seeing his release get delayed by seven days because he chose to assault another inmate, joshua coffey is preparing to go home. >> you got a job? >> my brother owns a construction company. i got a job as soon as i want it hopefully as long as he is not pissed at me for something. >> how you like that? is that short enough? >> a limb bit shorter. >> that's the one good thing if it's not good i wear a hat

anyway. >> you will not be wearing a hat out here. >> i guarantee i will be wearing a hat. i'll be wearing this hat. this is my fishing hat now. i swear to god it is. i will wear my hat every time fishing. wearing the hat will remind me not to come back. i can't come fishing if i'm in jail. first day out i have that all the way down. i'm getting out, i have nothing. so i'm going to the welfare office and get me my little $137 worth of food stamps so i can get something to eat. i will go to the salvation army to make sure i've got any time of hygiene materials or clothes i need. but after i get all those things done, i'm going to go see a re-entry coordinator, call my parole officer, call the na coordinator, and then i'm going to the french lick casino. >> every choice has a

consequence, man. before you do something you have to think, what is the possible consequence that can happen behind this? you know. and a lot of people don't think about that, man. a lot of people don't ponder the outcome of what they're doing, they just do it. until they realize, this consequence is too harsh for what i just did. and before you know it, you're paying with your life, man. i'm paying with my life. i got 50 years. that's life. i'm 27. 50 plus 27, 77 years old. are you serious? come on, man. that's life.
