I Want to Kill Him

Folsom is no longer like it was in my day. In fact, I don’t even think it’s a real prison anymore. I heard it was a tourist attraction with actors playing the part of convicts. Anyhow, we get downstairs and Chapo from Stanton and Eddie Munster are down there. I don’t see Bobby anywhere, so I’m kind of just standing there alone when Chapo comes up to me.

He says, “Hey, little homie, the Big Homie Monstro heard about what happened between you and your cellie. In fact, we seen his eye.” He kind of chuckled at that and then says, “Whatever happened in your cell stays there. Don’t bring any of that shit out on the line because the homies aren’t having it.” Well, two big revelations are made here. First, Eddie Monstro is a brother! Who knew? Second, they think it was just a cell fight.

So I tell him, “Hey, Chapo. Tell Monstro I got nothing but respect for the Big Homie, but I can’t let this go. That dude cut my face. I’m going to be scarred for life.”

This was true. I still have that battle wound.

He says, “What are you talking about?”

So I show him and it’s funny how everyone I showed this fresh wound to would just wince and ask was I okay. I show him my forearm and thigh and run down how the whole thing happened.

He says, “Hold on. The homie didn’t know all that, so wait here.”

He goes over and starts telling Monstro. By this time they’re moving us from 2 Building to the laundry. We walk through 5 Building, which is a trip. This is the oldest part of the prison. It’s literally all granite rocks, and doors made from steel perforated with inch-wide round holes. It’s where the old hangman’s gallows used to be. We walk out of the building and cross the yard, past the chapel, and go between 1 Building and the chapel—an area known as blood alley. Then we enter the laundry room. By this time, Chapo had told Monstro what happened between me and Marciano.

Chapo says, “The homie didn’t know that fool cut you. He wants to talk to you.” So I walk over to Monstro and he says, “I told Chapo to tell you to let that shit die on Fish Row. But he said you told him, ‘Chale, what’s up?’”

So I gave Monstro the rundown and showed all my cuts. And after, he says, “So what do you want to do?”

I said, “Pay him back.”

Monstro looks at Chapo and says, “This youngster has got nuts. Not only did he not run to the cops, but he also doesn’t go to the hospital to get stiches. And now he wants to pay this dude back.” They start laughing and Monstro asks me, “What you gonna do, little young buck? You gonna kill him?”

I puff up all five feet seven inches of my frame and tell him, “Yeah. If I can.”

Monstro gets serious and tells me, “Okay.
