Amends. Ma i believe that ive changed to the good. Be careful. Thats my favorite rapper. Hes da future. And a wouldbe rapper pays the price for attacking an officer. Ay ive learned not to touch the police. They will touch you back. Welcome to wabash. Hope yall could stay longer. With more than 2,000 inmates, the Wabash Valley correctional facility in southwestern indiana has a Larger Population and more acreage than the rest of the small town in which its located. Carlisle is a very small community, approximately 1,200 s is their population. Its comprised of a school. It has a grocery store. It has a gas station, a couple of little restaurants, a dollar store and thats really about all thats in carlisle. While carlisle might be a remnant of a simpler time, inside the twin security fences of wabash is evidence of how some aspects of society have grown harder. Were seeing a lot more offenders coming in much younger than they were before and much more violent than in the past as well. Correctional officers are the backbone of the facility. Theyre the ones dealing with the offenders on a daily basis. They are frontline. Ive been hearing about the correction setting since i was 8 years old. Ut i grew up around it. I so coming in here was actually kind of easy for me. I already knew what to expect. Tu ive heard all the war stories. Officer Jarrod Mcmillan has been on the frontline at wabash for four years now. W the war stories have come from his mother and father, both of whom are also on wabashs correction staff. Its the kind of environment that you dont want everybody f in. I wouldnt let my daughter here but shes not meant for this. Hes a little tougher. And my wife is real tough. They can handle it. But the younger officer mcmillan was recently put to the test. As he was escorting one inmate, another inmate unleashed a violent attack. He stuck his arm out with a bottle full of feces and urine and started flinging it everywhere, i had it on my face, my uniform, my pants. It was in the corner of my mouth. He actually got it in my mouth. I had to wait for somebody to come take pictures of it. Ou so he could be prosecuted for that. Then i went up front and took a shower. They dont make enough soap to wash Something Like that out. I received a phone call a couple of weeks ago and they told me everything was clear. There is an average of 15 officer assaults a year. This inmate recently contributed to that statistic. Ly i just reacted and a verbal altercation turned physical. I was on my way to religious service actually. The officer was telling me, tie my shoes. And then i tied my shoes. He told me to tuck my shoelaces in my shoes. He told me to uncuff my pants. So i kind of got irritated. Im like, im just going to religious service. Burkes victim, officer james manuel, has a different account. He was acting very arrogant and wouldnt let you speak to him. So i told him basically, im not arguing with you and directed him to go back to the housing unit. You see how theyre doing me . A lieutenant who overheard the exchange ordered manuel to cuff burks and escort him back to his cell. Before i could get him, security turned around and d punched me. I hit him in his face. While i was doing it, i was thinking in my mind, i just messed up. Then he hit me a couple of more times with the handcuffs he since he had one hanging loose on the other arm. Me and another officer hearde the argument, started walking towards it when we heard it. Te in the process, the inmate turned around and knocked officer manuel down on the sidewalk. R we came over, put the offender down on the ground, cuffed him up and escorted him to seg. O i had to get stitches, had a cut on my forehead and my nose. Burks internally was charged with assault on the officer and resisting. R it took three or four Staff Members to actually restrain oo him. As a result, burks was transferred from general population to the custody unit while officials determine what sanction he will receive. O at a minimum, it will include a move to the secured confinement unit where inmates are housed 23 hours a day and lose many of their privileges, including y contact visitation. Few people know more about how difficult life in confinement is than Christopher Trotter. Nf after ten consecutive years there, he has been released to v transitional housing unit on his way back to general population. Probably known him for 12, 13 years. T when i heard he was going to open pop, i couldnt believe it with his reputation that he has. I didnt think they would let him out. Oh, man. Y this is what i do all day long, drink ice water. Its been ten years since i had a cup of ice water. Te i was like, dang, i never knew that water tasted so good. But it does, just ice water. And these are the Little Things we take for granted. Trotter, whose name is infamous in the indiana state prison system, will now be around other inmates and staff without handcuffs and shackles for the first time in ten years. He originally came to prison nearly three decades earlier on a fouryear sentence for theft. But then trotter received 142 years as a result of being one of the instigators of a major r riot at another prison. He has spent a total of 16 years in confinement but says these last ten nearly broke him. That was some of the most torturous time i ever did in my life back there. Me and it took everything i had to keep it from dehumanizing me, k demoralizing me and institutionalizing me. D it strips the humanity away from you. I guess its a good thing that i can get emotional. It goes to show you that im not dead inside. I still feel. Coming up ive always been told if youre not serving god, youre serving the devil. Serving time for a devilish act of arson. Mom maria Maria Ramirez. Mcdonalds is committing 150 Million Dollars in tuition assistance, education, and career advising programs. Prof Maria Ramirez mom and dad Maria Ramirez to help more employees achieve their dreams. But maybe not for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Mom and dad Maria Ramirez because there are options. Like an unjection™. Xeljanz xr, a oncedaily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. Xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; dont start xeljanz if you have an infection. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. As have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. Tell your doctor if youve been somewhere fungal infections are common, or if youve had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Needles. Fine for some. But for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. Ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. An unjection™. What are you doing back there, junior . Since were obviously lost, im rescheduling my Xfinity Customer Service appointment. Ah, relax. I got this. Which gps are you using anyway . A Little Something called instinct. Been using it for years. Yeah, thats what im afraid of. He knows exactly where were going. My whole body is a compass. Oh boy. The my account app makes todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Not my thing. Like those at many other maximum security prisons, hundreds of inmates at indianas Wabash Valley correctional facility seek to make a statement about themselves through tattoos. Some might use their ink to keep other inmates at a distance, to advertise their gang affiliation or the heinous act that brought them here. 37yearold bill abbott got two of his more prominent tattoos prior to coming to wabash. Little did he know how ironic they would become. My horns. Why . What did you do bad . It was my way of life at the time. Not no evil or devil worshipping or nothing like that. Ive always been told by all the Christian Family that ive known that if youre not serving god, youre serving the devil. I thought, thats going to be hard to do. M covere with a halo, i would. But i dont think that will work. Orearms . It says, am i evil, yes i am. Its the name of a song by metallica. Theyve been one of my favorite groups since i can remember. Abbott has been in and out of prison since he was 18. A lot of thefts. Possession of stolen property, receiving stolen properties. If it wasnt bolted down, you cant bolt it down, id buy it or sell it. But this time, abbott is at wabash for a more serious crime. Hes serving 40 years for arson. Hes convicted of burning down his hometowns historic Catholic Church, built in 1924. It happened in the predawn hours of easter morning. You have these tattoos, including horns on your head and am i evil, yes, i am on your forearms and then you get pulled in for burning down the church. Yeah, which didnt help any at all. Abbott says his troubles began the night before in a bar. I was pretty lit up. I ended up coming across two other individuals i hadnt seen for quite a few years and decided we was going to do some criminal mischief, i should say. And we decided to break into the church. Why in the world would you think of a church to break into . That was the alcohol talking and acting mostly. What did you take from there . A couple of pairs of shoes. They have tennis shoes for basketball and stuff like that. There was a couple of pairs of shoes and i had actually threw them in a bag. Abbott says he left before his friends and didnt know the church had burned down until hours later. Everything was Still Standing when i left. The next morning, my niece and my nephew and brotherinlaw came in and told me to turn on the tv. I turned on the tv and every channel i flipped it on showed the Catholic Church on fire. Fingerprints on a church wine bottle led the police to him. They arrested him three weeks later. Despite his claims of innocence, abbott says he took a plea deal to avoid testifying against his friends and being labeled a snitch. Going to prison having a snitch name is like having a child molestation name. You just dont have it. They dont last long here. I wouldnt want to have the name snitch. I cant do it. Abbotts not alone in his claim that he is serving time only because he didnt want to snitch on someone else. Burks admitted to being in the car in a driveby shooting. But he says he wasnt the trigger man. Theres no award you get for not snitching. Burks is serving a 55year sentence for the murder of a south african immigrant. He came to america to work for his family. And he got killed. He was an innocent bystander. It wasnt meant for him. It was just a bunch of guys riding around high and drunk just doing stuff that dont even matter at all. And now that night turned into this life. And the life burks lives in wabash has recently gotten considerably more uncomfortable. He has been placed in the custody control unit for assaulting an officer and will likely soon transfer to the even more restrictive secured confinement unit. But burks still has a dream for the people i dont know who the future be, you can google meech. He plans to someday get out of prison and seek fame and fortune as a rapper known as young meech, da future. If burks had a fan club in the control unit, James Greenburg might very well be its president. Meech, thats my favorite rapper. Hes da future. As far as anybody in the industry, i dont see anybody on his level. Maybe lil wayne, drake, kanye west. But not many people can hang with meech. Whats your nickname . White boy. Because im mixed and im the lightest person from my neighborhood. My dad is black and mexican. My mom is white. Burkes was friends with greenburg. And basically his neighbor after officers found a knife hidden in his mattress. I must be a violent offender, as yall say. You know how people ride with guns on the streets, thats why i have my knife. You never know whats going to happen. I cant say you need one. But it wouldnt hurt to have some on standby. He is serving 15 years for dealing narcotics and resisting police. But up until his arrest, greenburg found drug dealing afforded him luxuries such as his grill. I went to the dentist in st. Louis, paid 1,100 and got eight teeth. Was it worth it . To me, yeah. Why did you want to spend that kind of money on your teeth . I was getting money. So i figured i had to reward myself for getting all this money. Had he invested that money in brakes for his car, he might have avoid his latest arrest. My brakes was messed up on my car and the police seen me riding through a light and i had to skid. It was like that. And police hit their lights. I knew i had a warrant, so i took them on a highspeed. Catch me if you can, im the gingerbread man. I ended up getting out of the car and running. I was trying to jump a fence but it was too high for me to clear. So i supermanned it. Some of my pants got caught on it. Thats when the dog came up. I said, hey, i aint going nowhere. Hurry up and get me off this fence, though, because my pants was all stuck on it. I couldnt run no more. He was lucky they wouldnt have been able to get me, though. Id still be out there. Did you have those baggy pants that were like sagging in the crotch . Well, yeah. Yeah. It was baggy. Money bags. Whats happening with yall . Like his friend burks, greenburg is also an aspiring rapper. When he says lasagna, i say baloney. Im moving sideways. Might go over yall head, though.

Sharing a meal with others is something Christopher Trotter hasnt experienced in about a decade. One of indianas most infamous inmates and known for violent behavior, hes now back in general population at the Wabash Valley correctional facility after ten years in solitary confinement. How long is ten years . I dont think i could have did it. Thats a long time. And to still that the mind that he has, hes really strong, headstrong. Most people probably done went crazy back there. Wouldnt know how to handle it. I know i wouldnt. He did what he had to do. He came of it a better man, stronger, i think. Anytime you go through adversity, it either makes or breaks you. You learn from the situations that you go through. I believe that we all are going to be better men in here if we just take the chance to, hey, dont make the same mistakes that we made the first time. Back in his cell, trotter writes poetry to Something Else he missed out on. After ten years of isolation, im meeting you for the first time. The night sky, his confinement cell had no window. And your beauty is blissful. You never say a word and i find the silence peaceful. Just being in your presence is a joy to my heart. People take things for granted, you know . And this is a window. I would never think a window would make a big difference, but it does, a window. Like i said, i call a lady night. And she mooned me the other night. The first time seeing the moon in ten years. I was like, wait, that was cool seeing her backside. And then she smiled at me and i was like it was a a twinkle in her eyes and i seen the stars. I was like, whoa, you know . Just peaceful. Just peaceful. The Simple Pleasures trotter has gained are about to be taken away from Demetrius Burks. Just another day in paradise r
