concerned because of prior incidents. associated with me. the only way that they can see that, i am not only, a changed man, but i am ready to do something different with my life. is to let me have an opportunity. i haven't had a chance. that's what i am hoping for. >> coming up. marcus murray defends it. >> you have a salute. like a white supremacists do. >> no, sir. >> a decision is handed down.

you really listen, off the unit. when he thinks that you can't hear him talking some of the things he talks about negative toward staff, when a staff person was assaulted by another offender in another cell house. he was applauding. so that is a telltale sign that he is not ready to go into the general population. >> i don't want to lose my mind on a unit like this. i dent want to physically begin to deteriorate where i can't get no help. so i am saying i want to actually be given an opportunity to do something progressive with my life. back here in solitary confinement. i can't do that.
