LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: Krisna Piro Clarke, AKA Tiny, has been freed from the Pulaski County Detention Facility following his appearance on the Netflix show, 'Unlocked: A Jail Experiment'. The former convict stated that he was grateful for being a part of the experiment since it helped him learn many things and reconnect with his son.

Now that he is out in the open, he has voiced his appreciation for things like fresh air and open space. As one might expect, Tiny is overjoyed that he can now spend more time with his son and be more active in his life.

What was 'Unlocked: A Jail Experiment' inmate Tiny charged with?

While discussing himself, Tiny revealed he earned his moniker because his height was shorter than that of many of the others around him. He went on to say that on one occasion when he was still young, he apparently had enough of being taunted about his diminutive stature and stabbed the other person with a knife from his pocket.

Reportedly, he had been stabbing people ever since then and had been arrested several times. Tiny, a resident of the Pulaski County Detention Facility's H-Unit, had been charged with aggravated robbery and first-degree battery.

Tiny couldn't risk 'Unlocked: A Jail Experiment' being shut down for the sake of his son

Tiny admitted that, while he was well aware of his barbs, he regretted being involved in a life of crime since it kept him away from his child. Given his dissatisfaction with the former method of spending 23 hours in his cell, Tiny was amenable to the concept suggested by Sheriff Eric Higgins, which would provide them far more freedom.

Tiny initially appeared to be on board with being an ally to Randy "True Story" Randall. His major goal, regardless of who spoke up and who led the convicts, was to keep the freedom that he had been granted.

As a result, he never hesitated to call out anything that he believed might lead to the experiment being shut down. Things quickly got much more crucial for Tiny once it was announced that H-Unit occupants may use the phones for free to chat for as long as they wish.

'Unlocked: A Jail Experiment' reset makes Tiny lose touch with his son

Tiny was overjoyed at the opportunity to contact his kid after being unable to do so for a long time. As a result, when many of his early calls were unanswered or didn't connect, he became irritated and even got into an altercation with True Story.

Tiny eventually spoke with his child and was taken aback by the situation. He told his son that he would stay in touch, but he subsequently admitted that the first conversations were unpleasant since he didn't know what to talk about.

Tiny was enraged by the 24-hour lockdown imposed following a violent brawl involving other convicts since he had formed a practice of chatting to his child virtually every day. He expressed concern that his son could believe he didn't care about him because he missed the call.

He was happy that his son didn't appear to hold it against him. Indeed, Tiny's child was about to pay him a visit.

Tiny finally met his son in person after a long time apart. He had prepared thoroughly for the day, even enlisting the assistance of Daniel "Crooks" Gatlin to trim his mustache and beard.

Tiny informed his son that he was very proud of him and encouraged him to heed his parents. He described how he was frequently frightened by the lifestyles of his fellow detainees, who were just a few years older than his child.

He also apologized for taking a road that led him to jail and away from his parenting responsibilities, with Tiny's statement saying that he had been "forgiven."
