About this video
Ritland’s guest Janish recounts a prison altercation where he refused to surrender his fruit to an Aryan Brotherhood key holder and was ambushed by three inmates in a cell. Janish describes fighting back and injuring all three attackers before being placed in isolation, after which the key holder gave him a pass from further trouble.
Key takeaways
