i got good communication skills. communication is my occupation. i'm talkative and meet different people. believe it or not, a lot people are looking to have a good time. my co-defendant was a pretty young lady. basically it sells itself. sex is a billion dollar industry. >> wright's troubles began when they met a potential john at their hotel. it was christmas eve. >> went back to his home and spent time there. on the way back to the hotel things got heated and she pulled a weapon out and she shot him. >> the victim was shot in 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 sent to jail. she received 30 years and he received the maximum. 50 years for bodily injury and confinement.

>> my hair has been growing five months. i only got it braided two or three times. but it is starting to get to the length where i can get it where i want it. in a month or so i will be able to do more with it. >> but both men know that their friendship comes with risks. >> there are white guys that wouldn't get. the white guys who do get it they mess with black guys, they chop it up with us, they conversate with us 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. why you braiding a white dude hair, you know what i mean? 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''s 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 then you have, like me, i'm a white organization that's 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 in life 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're just a branch off of them. brothers is a struggle. we struggle to survive together. we're here for each other. me personally, i don't have too many problems. i haven't had words with nobody since i've 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, a lot of whites. 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 are not compatible. we are not compatible. the only time a white dude is compatible with a black dude 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 a reen at salt 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 playing. it was premeditated. >> the men are waiting for a black inmate to exit his cell. >> he is immediately met by ritchie who was standing there waiting for the door to be opened. he assaults him and chases him around. this guy is a spectator at this point. you'll see another inmate come running from this side that also aids. now you have the three white guys running around assaulting the one guy here. finally they corner him and get them down and all three of them get on him before the officers can actually 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've given him multiple chances. that's the reason i chose to

place him in administrative segregation. >> ritchie feels the prison went too far and during his interview had something to say to staff about it. >> with all due respect to you guys, mind your business, man. if i'm not killing this man or joey down the range ain't getting raped, just be cool, man, be cool. we don't want no problem. we live here. >> ritchie claims the fight wasn't racially motivated but over a small debt. >> it was over a couple dollars. that's 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. >> inmate-made shanks and one of the inmates who makes them.

the correct way. i figure i learned that lesson the wrong way. >> joshua coffey has served more than four years of his six-year sentence at the wabash correctional facility. his job in the kitchen helps him stay focused and out of trouble. >> that's crazy. i came in at 4:30 this morning and i'll leave about 5:30, so i worked 13 hours. >> stacking. >> stacking the line. >> the reason i do it is to get out of my cell, get a little freedom, 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 cat, put it in front of a person that is locked up, they'll probably eat the cat food. >> tonight's meet is macaroni, mixed vegetables, bread, butter and a cookie. not everybody agrees on the best meal but they can agree on the worst. >> the sloppy joe is bad. but that chicken a la king, oh, man. >> [ bleep ]. >> i swear you could take a can of alpo and dump it on the plate and i would rather eat that. >> coffey is due to be released on patrol in three months and has a message for his future self. >> you're a dumb ass ain't you you are sitting on the couch drinking a beer and laughing at yourself, aren't you? you idiot. >> nice hands, baby.

>> short of being released, the strongest sense of freedom most wabash inmates ever experience is their time in the outdoor recreation yards. >> see that left hand? >> for the record we won that game. >> while rec is a time to enjoy some fresh air and exercise, it is also one of the times inmates are most likely to exchange contra banned, including shanks. >> tell us what's going on out here. >> right now they're patting down the convicts going back in from recreation to make sure they don't have weapons. there was a tip there was going to be trouble. the officers line them up and pat them down looking for weapons as they come back in. a lot of times they will find a bunch of stuff on the grass. >> as the patdowns are conducted other officers walk the yard searching for discarded weapons. >> going around where the offenders were standing watching the game. on this bench over here is

always a good place. you will see a shank that could be buried just under the grass. they'll drop it, hide it, kick it with their foot in the grass if they want to dispose of it. 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 prolific production of homemade weapons. >> brandon has been in possession of multiple weapons multiple different times, which has 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. >> brandon would craft knives out of any object he found on prison grounds. >> if it was big enough to put in your hand with a little left over, it was big enough to be sharpened into a weapon. usually i would just keep it on me because it's no good if it's hidden somewhere. if someone comes on to you and [ bleep ] you ain't got it on you, you can't tell them hold on i have to get my knife. thankfully i've never had to use one. usually if somebody sees one, it's enough to keep them at bay. you don't usually have to use it. i was prepared to use it. >> siverly was 17 years old when he and a group of friends broke into a home and beat and robbed the occupant. he accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced to 20 years.

while at wabash, however, he received an additional four year-sentence for possession of a dangerous device, a seven inch long shank. >> that's a baby. that's a baby. before that, i always tried to make mine at least ten inches long. that way i had plenty of handle room and plenty of blade. >> siverly's history has resulted in him being housed in the highly restricted secured confinement unit. while he doesn't like it he does understand it. >> from their standpoint how can you have somebody who keeps repeatedly getting caught making mass quantities of knives in population and keep population safe even if that perp is not stabbing people, he is making the knives that are stabbing people. >> with few pegs and little contact with other inmates, siverly has refocused his energy from weapons to art.

>> president barack obama commander in chief of the united states of america. i figured we fight is a good statement. president obama being half black had to fight to get where he got. >> he's firm that he won't help black inmates in wabash with theirs. >> i'm not racist. but then again i know where the lines are in here. so i know that if something goes down, just because i'm not racist, doesn't mean if there is a race riot they're not going to stab me too. i'm not going to arm a black so a race riot could pop off at any time and all the blacks in the dorm have a knife and one or two people have a knife. so i'm on the losing end. eventually one of them's going to get to me. i don't want to arm anyone who

i'm here bleeding lie a [ bleep ] with 50 years. you know what 50 years feel like? people forget about you, man not out of spite like [ bleep ] 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 this where they're separated. where your finger is right there. >> 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. >> 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. 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 sometime, it's hard to deal with. they ask about me and know i'm locked up. they understand that uncle's locked up. i hate them having to know i'm locked up. but i put myself here and maybe me letting them know where i'm at and telling them how i feel about it will keep them from coming down this road. >> gerald richie 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 ended up coming 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. some prison sentences don't end. it's a hard pill to swallow, boy.

that's heavy [ bleep ]. i'm not trying to die in here. [ bleep ] this. i'm good at it [ bleep ] this. got to get out and stay sober and find a job. if i'm not drinking or doing drugs and 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 or long

enough? >> it's a little 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 with wearing a 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 have nothing. so i'm going to the welfare office and get me my little $137 worth of food stamps so i can eat. i will go to the salvation army to make sure i've got any type of hygiene materials or clothes that i need. but once i got all those things done i will see a reentry coordinator and call my parole officer and call the na coordinator and then going to the french lick casino. >> thank you, sir.

>> thank you. 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 and don't ponder the outcome of what they doing. they just do it until they realize this consequence is too harsh for what i just did and before you know it you 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.
