That i have. there may be criminal charges filed against inmate battaglia. more than likely not because of the small amount that was coming in. and being that the the return address was phoney, there s no way to determine who actually sent it in. battaglia does not know that yet. if they find me guilty, i m going to be upset because i can t risk another charge. instead of criminal charges, battaglia and his cell mate, who requested to remain anonymous, and each will be investigated and receive disciplinary hearings. how are you going to fight the case? my words. i m just going to tell the truth. the first place i would look is the bunky. coming up when you moved into the cell with battaglia, are you aware of him doing that? battaglia s bunky speaks out and william bernard is the subject of a jailhouse rumor.
Being you cooperated somewhat, we re going to give you ten days in lock, all right? so you re done. good to go. all right. i felt like just cooperating. i don t know. just seemed like the better thing to do at the time. my bunky. i m done with him. we can t associate anymore. while battaglia s relations in the jail might have landed him in segregation, william bernard s have resulted in violence. he was recently assaulted in his housing unit. what happened was an inmate polanco and rivera assaulted inmate bernard as he walked up the stairs. they got him at the first couple stairs. bernard was already on the ground. definitely was out of it. once it was called out, we were probably inside less than a minute after the fight was called out. bernard was laying on or sitting on the ground, looked dazed. once the officer saw it, they both ran away. gomez ran to his cell and rivera ran to his cell.
i might have to come up like this, or he can just turn inside here and walk this way. yes. this is how you do it. you do your back that way. you know what i m saying? ain t nobody gay up in here. few things in prison are as key to survival as having a good cell mate. when you live with a person 24 hours a day, you build up a brotherhood, a sense of you build up a rapport that you don t have with your family. and you re both dependent on each other for survival. but some cell mates can t get along. lockup crews have heard vivid accounts of inmates attacking their cellies. i got into an altercation with my bunky. i ended up stabbing him. i stuck my hand up his ass to my forearm and bashed his head and made him drink out that toilet. and took the toilet and strangled him. when they opened up the door, i tried to throw him off the tier. i tore the sheet and wrapped it around his head and i said, nope, you ain t doing nothing.
His appearance. seeing jonathan richardson for the first time was kind of shocking. you had to wonder what was going through that guy s head to do that to himself. he stood out. when i first saw jonathan walking down the corridor it was like, whoa, i ve seen some some odd-looking dudes in prison, but i think he was one of the oddest. richardson is serving a 55-year sentence for a murder he committed at the age of 19. when we met him, he was assigned to the secured housing unit or shu for the violence he committed behind bars. in this never before seen interview, he explains what happened. i got into an altercation with my bunky, i ended up stabbing him.
