a day. seven days a week, two days out of a week you get yard for three hours and the rest of the time you re stuck in a cell, in a small cell with a celly. i haven t had a cellie in 20 years, so it s hard learning cell etiquette. i m a fish out of water. he still hasn t learned yet. he s kind of off. they should have gave him medical attention before they brought him in the cell. mental attention. mental attention. yeah. dude has issues still. yeah, got issues. you spend 20 years on death row, you re going to have some issues. yeah, he has big issues. i was lucky, i was very lucky and they put me in a cell with a older black gentleman who s been around, and he s you know, he s open to teaching me. so he s teaching me about cell it tet and prison etiquette again. because i don t know about prison etiquette any longer. i only know about death row etiquette which is different from main line etiquette. here s what we do all day, me and joe joe.
you know, i felt taken out of my element when i got put here. i found myself people watching. you get to be able to walk, hit the yard more often. be able to be with more people. but then also that could create drama. because you could either get in a fight or something like that. i don t know. it s a different scene. that s for sure. like four braids on the side. just four on the side. that s all. call them four siders. my celly and i play cards. that s the only benefit of having someone there. you have someone to talk to, someone to play a card game with or someone to share photos with. lock it down, man. stop running around. my program was already set when i was in the hole. sleep all day, stay up all night. oh, my god. i m putting you [ bleep ] out. that s it, daniela.
politics and everything. i learned who is a better card player. that s for sure. helping holbrook adapt is his celly who spent more than 17 years incarcerated on a litany of burglary, theft and drug possession convictions and is currently serving two years for burglary and theft as well. let s put it this way. some people pray to god, he pray to john gotti. one time i had to correct my mom. she says man, your friends are just bringing you down. i told her, you know, it s not them. it s me bringing them down. he s been through a lot. he s an okay celly. he s been in the system for years and he has good perspective on life. so he s been mentoring me. he seems like a good guy. i mean, as far as good can get in here. you know what i mean? my cellie is actually a breath of fresh air because his
if you do it right, they will feel it, but it will feel more like friends. prison ain t like it used to be. the extortion game and making them feel threatened, that s kind of out the window because they ll snitch on you. so you ve got to use finesse nowadays. when finesse works, it s an effective weapon ikozlowski s arnal. when it fails, old-school violence is the backup plan. my hands are up, i m pretty fast. scars? recently. two months ago. still, kozlowski says he would prefer not to resort to violence. for that, he has his celly, tafari cook. he knows about the game, so we see eye to eye. cook is serving six years for armed robbery. they labeled me a trouble-maker. every different prison i go to, i get in some kind of trouble, so they just transfer me. what kind of trouble?
they won t even let o.j. have an id because somebody wants to steal it and get a million dollars. at times he occupies a cell by himself. at other times he s given a cell mate. over the years when o.j. simpson would get a cell mate more than likely his celly would be his housekeeper, cook the food, keep the house clean, make sure everything is in there. and o.j. would always buy the food from the canteen for both of them. in many ways o.j. hasn t changed at all. he s still an arrogant man who sees himself kind of above people like you and myself n. prison he rubbed people the wrong way. everybody knows o.j. cuts in front of lines, at the clinic, at the culinary, wherever he goes, the canteen, he cuts in front of line. the juice doesn t wait in line. he is a heisman trophy winner. yet he can t escape the constant reminders of the trial of the century. i was at work and came back and there was a little ruckus going on, some laughter. and this and that. what s going on, boys
