Strelzin asked Gribble about comments he made just weeks ago to a state forensic psychiatrist to the effect that people in prison have no idea how dangerous he is. Strelzin asked him if that's why he often wore a quirky grin.
"I smile because all the people in there have no idea who they're messing with," Gribble replied.

My dad is a prison minister in New Hampshire. Hopefully Gribble will live long enough to have a chance at spiritual redemption, even if his chances of earthly redemption are gone.
-
you tell pop i admire him greatly. thats one tough job but one that is truly needed and one that has been catalytic in getting folks to change their lives.

LOLZ. From the looks of him, if people mess with him, they'll be messing with Bubba's girlfriend.
-
yea he has no idea. and the more he talks the higher rated joint hes going to. hes gotta have his lawyer pulling his hair out.

As he most likely has a court-appointed attorney, I doubt there is any hair pulling going on. And if he's paying an attorney to put on a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity defense then I also doubt any hair pulling is going on. Claiming to either not know right from wrong or being unable to resist doing wrong even when you know it's wrong and his behavior testifying sort of go hand in hand.
He may purposely be trying for the highest security level joint just to avoid becoming Bubba's girlfriend. Someone may have explained the relationship possibility to him. I just wonder if the Dept. of Corrections is going to agree with him that he is either so bad or so notorious as to qualify for either maximum security or protective custody assignment. Then again, NHDOC may not want to be bothered with putting him in Segregation as an administrative matter if/when he starts acting out should he not get Max/PC placement out of the starting chute. ;)
He's not charged with capital murder, so he does need to look at long-term planning. I cannot find anything that says NH has civil commitment for those who are not convicted sexual offenders. Thus, all the discussion of what may happen to him if he is ever released from prison seems to be moot. The greatest term the court can impose on him is life without parole, which seems to be likely to be what he gets based on his running his mouth as he is.
stay safe.

so he does need to look at long-term planning.
thanks my kid thought i was having a seizure when i read that
-
For a crime like that he will go to a maximum security joint. He has the option of going into seg when he finds himself at the bottom of the food chain.
-
Considering that the kid is a cold blooded knife and machete murderer, he may prove to be as dangerous to his cellmates as they are to him.
Prison violence almost never sets the universe straight - it's animalistic and it favours strength and ruthlessness, not fairness. It's best not to laud it under any circumstances (not that anyone here is doing that).
-
Selby is right.
The guy doesn't look dangerous... but then at least one person already paid with her life for thinking that about him.
-
Yeah, but how's he going to fare around other predators. Killing an unsuspecting woman and child are one thing, his fellow prisoners will teach him something else.

He may have been a stone cold killer when faced with someone not accustomed to responding to violence, let alone offering violence. I've met and delved fairly deeply into the psyche and soul of several of those.
However, as c&s'sd has noted, he does not seem to have any experience dealing with those whose daily life revolves around te giving and receiving of violence.
And for everybody who seems to be assured that he is headed for Segregation/Protective Custody at the highest security level facility I tell you that based on what the public record shows without paying for any deeper looks he is on the light side of medium-security and will not qualify for PC status until after some documentation that the general population has taken a physical dislike to him. There is, as dismaying as it is, a political side to the classification process and he will not benefit from that in any way, shape or manner. I've worked with NH's classsification staff in the past and they were not known to be any to willing to dump anybody into higher-costing maximum security/segregation/protective custody status without a well-documented need to do so in order to avoid litigation. (In other words, they were not afraid of basic inmate lawsuits but could see the expensive ones coming from far away.)
stay safe.

In all 3 places - court, classification, and the yard. [popcorn] and taking bets on utter, complete and total fail in the last 2.
stay safe.

as contemptible a pos as he is i almost feel sorry for him. i did say almost
-
he seems like the type that believes his own hype, I knew a guy like that-
He is in for a surprise, sure he is cold blooded and will attack ( say) a sleeping cell mate but I would guess that he is going to be forced to accept that his ego is the only big tough muscle he has.
