First I would like to start out by giving a shout out to the felonista of the month-
Precious! Why I chose her is because she is real, down to earth, and never changes.
She also will curse a person out and yoke them up if they get wrong, and I love that
about her too. Many women in here are wanna-bes- we have wanna be strippers,
doctors, nurses, and bosses. In the feds, you can come in and lie about who you
really are if you choose. You cannot get away with that in state prison. There are
lots of people that know you, and if they don't know you personally they can make
a phone call and check to see who you are and who you were on the streets.
Precious makes no pretenses, and she's working hard to better herself and make
it on the streets, and that is really what a felonista does. Precious, you ARE the
felonista for the month!
Now, lets talk about what this weeks episode is about- fan fights in prison.
The best fan fight was between Cynthia Robinson and Martha Ramos. That is their
real names. They both are gone home now as of a few months ago. Cynthia
Robinson was a small woman in statute, and I am not sure of her age- she had
grown daughters and was a grandmother, so I know she was not a spring chicken.
Both women were of Latina descent. Cynthia looked black, and used to rep as
black because she only dated black guys, and her hair was not "good hair" by our
standards. Martha was straight Puerto Rican, from New York. She was thick,
hitting 50 in the butt, and the way she talked mess you would have thought she
could really fight.
At Danbury Camp, we have two fans per dorm, for 50 women. The fans are
situated at each opening of the dorm. If you sleep in the middle of the dorm,
when the weather is scorching, you are going to miss out on a breeze.
We called Cynthia "Cindy". During one scorcher, Cindy wanted the fan straight,
so that everyone could benefit.
"I need the fan on me. I can't breath." Martha said.
She was a hypochondriac to the tenth power, and had every illness known to
men, and women too.
"You're not going to have the fan just on you! Its 50 women in this dorm, and
old people!" Cindy said, while turning the fan back toward the isle.
Martha turned the fan back toward her bunk.
"I can't breath! I have to have the fan on me!" Martha said.
Cindy turned the fan back. Martha jumped up, and roughly turned the fan toward
herself, while Cindy still had her hand on it.
"Bitch, No you didn't!" Cindy said loudly.
"Yes. I did. I am going to have this fan on me." Martha said, while literally
using the fan to push Cindy out of the way.
It was on. Cindy two-pieced Martha so fast, Martha didn't know what hit her.
Because Martha was a lot bigger than Cindy in size and stature, she tried to
"man" handle her. When Cindy realized what she was doing, she danced around
the grab, and began wailing on Martha directly in her face and upside her head
with precision and flurry. Martha was dazed, but still standing, trying to grab
little Cindy, while Cindy put in work on her head and her face until she drew
blood. Once Cindy drew blood, she started beating Martha to the body. Martha
tried to grab her and even save face and hit her, to no avail. Cindy showed her
no mercy, and punished her.
The dorm did break it up after Martha was punch drunk. It was no longer a
fair fight, because Martha couldn't see, and was bumping into everything. One
of the Latina women that Martha hung with took her to the bathroom to help her
get cleaned up. The side of her face was swollen, her eye was swollen, and her
body was sore and bruised. Her mouth didn't look good either. Cindy didn't
have a mark on her.
Because this is a Camp, the pesky little rodents, also known as resident
snitches slipped notes to the counselor and officer the next day, to inform them
that it had been a fight about the fan. They called Cindy in first.
"Do you know anything about a fight Ms. Robinson? " The officer asked.
"Nawh. What?" Cindy said.
They looked her over, and didn't see any marks anywhere.
"Alright, you can go." The officer said.
When they called Martha, it was a different story. Her eye and the bruises
looked worse than the day before.
"What happened to your face?" The officer asked.
"I fell off the bed and hit my face." Martha lied.
"Do you have any witnesses?" The officer asked.
"Yes." Martha said, and gave the witnesses names. They confirmed her story,
and that was that.
Cindy earned a lot of respect after that, and nobody wanted to rumble with her
after witnessing the whooping she put on Martha.
This is indeed the best fan fight ever. Stay tuned for fan fight two......
