protective custody, more than likely slammed down the entire time. while his public confession may have put gaines life in danger, it also generated some welcome attention from the outside world. apparently, i m writing my fiancee. you have a fiancee? yeah. is this someone you knew before you were incarcerated? no. i met her since i was in here. the interview i did with southern poverty law center. she read that and dropped me a couple postcards of encouragement commending the changes i made so we ve been pen pals for almost two years now and been together for about the last year. she s beautiful. she has a good heart, smart, funny, loves me to death, takes good care of me. so, i couldn t ask for more. and not to mention, she s willing to stand by me and do the time with me, so i m pretty blessed. coming up after the 36 hours they take the baby from you and you just
if you re convicted of first-degree murder, you d be eligible for the death penalty. i ll get the death penalty, yes. where i carry guilt, i could have stopped it. i could have stepped up and grabbed him. i mean, i played the scenario over and over and over. i mean, even one word out of my mouth would have stopped him. and i didn t say [ bleep ]. i stood there and just let him continue to hit that man. gaines went on to tell us that he was no longer the skinhead that participated in that or any other heinous act. i was a hypocrite, a bigot, a hatemonger. that was just as evil as any one of the rest of the dumb asses around here so i wasn t always a good person. in 2004, while awaiting trial, he not only renounced his gang affiliation, but decided to tell all. i have pulled people covers that were not known. i have given up information on other crimes. i ve not held back. i renounced publicly through
walk out and they have their 45 minutes of recreation each day, and then boom. right become into the cell without ever interacting with another inmate. so it has a very ominous feel when you walk through the special management unit. and this is the path that i took when i went to meet shawn gaines. 29-year-old shawn gaines had spent most of the last six years in the special management unit, awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge that could land him on death row. i ve lived here longer than i ever lived in one spot in my entire life even growing up as a kid so it s just, you know i have yet to call it home, but it is what it is. gaines may not have wanted to call it home, but his security threat ranking dictated it. he was segregated because he was once a major player in a violent arizona skinhead movement.
he and his lawyer have been fighting to get the charges reduced for years now. if you re convicted of first-degree murder, you d be eligible for the death penalty. i ll get the death penalty, yes. where i carry guilt, i could have stopped it. i could have stepped up and grabbed him. i mean, i played the scenario over and over and over. i mean, even one word out of my mouth would have stopped him. and i didn t say [ bleep ]. i stood there and just let him continue to hit that man. gaines went on to tell us that he was no longer the skinhead that participated in that or any other heinous act. i was a hypocrite, a bigot, a hatemonger. that was just as evil as any one of the rest of the dumb asses around here so i wasn t always a good person. in 2004, while awaiting trial, he not only renounced his gang affiliation, but decided to tell all. i have pulled people covers that were not known. i have given up information on other crimes. i ve not held back.
terry was very clear about how his actions were justified even though they were extreme actions, because that was part of prison life, that he almost killed a human being because the guy stole his shoes. the irony to me was the fact that terry was in prison for robbery. because he was already serving a life sentence, moore did not receive any new criminal charges for the stabbing, but was kept in lockdown until his transfer to another prison later that year. it was not the first stabbing, probably not going to be the last time. terry, what if he would have died? that was something he should have thought of when he took my stuff. was it worth it to him or a question for me to ask. coming up. any prison gang would be happy to get their hands on shawn gaines. the ex-leader of a white supremacist gang faces a whole new reality. if i m ever put in general population i m as good as dead.
