He's a massive guy. And back then, you know, guys in jail were big guys because we had weights in the jails at the time. And these guys work out.

And now that they've been working out, they want to test their strength or they want to test themselves, you know, because they feel like, okay, I've been working out. I've got to see. I've got to put this to use. Let me see what I can do with style. So a lot of times Raymond was called in because of his strength and his size.

So when I came back to work, she said, hey, Sarge, listen, this guy, he's been disrespecting me, you know, and why you been off? I said, okay, no problem. Let me talk to him. So I called Raymond down. I said, hey, I need you to come down. Come down here to the unit. Because we always use strength in numbers whenever you work in that environment. It's never one-on-one.

In this normal situation where you really don't want to use force, that's the last thing you want to do. But you always want to show a use of force. And most guys will back down when they say that use of force or when they say that use of force. So this particular guy, he decided he wanted to go ahead and he wanted to put some work in. Okay, well, you know what? Let's get at it.

And subsequently, you know, it didn't go well. Yeah. It did not go well for him. Yeah. And Raymond was always that guy that, listen, man, loyal, first to come in, always treating these guys fair with respect because he could have hurt a lot of guys. He'd be the big guy. But that wasn't his demeanor. His demeanor was not to come there and be a bully. That wasn't who he was.

I wasn't from the community, so I didn't know any of these guys. He knew these guys. He grew up with a lot of these guys. So he had their respect. And then a lot of times, I can call Raymond down, he can talk to a guy and

kill the situation for him. I ain't even got to deal with it. He just talked to the guy because he had that relationship. And that's the thing about working in that environment that most people don't understand. At that particular time, there was no taser. There was no shield. There was no mace. There was no stun gun. It was none of that. It was your verbal and it was hands-on.
