00:00.
00:18These guys are about to follow you.
00:20It's probably best for me escort them up from Bravo.
00:22Walk them inside, though, because they wouldn't record.
00:25You know?
00:27What is that?
00:29They got a fusel.
00:45Man, you, bitch!
00:49you, bitch!
00:50Take his ass to the housing unit.
00:53We need to comply.
00:55Because violence isn't a minute!
00:59Wait, you jerk!
01:00Grab it!
01:01Mother .
01:03Man, I've just been calmed up.
01:05I am a cunt!
01:06Y'all don't know nothing about me!
01:08There are over 3,000 jails in the U.S., detaining over half a million.
01:18Each one, a world of its own.
01:21Running a jail is tough.
01:24Surviving inside is tougher.
01:26Hit them with the thunder!
01:27Let's go!
01:28Let's go!
01:29Let's go!
01:30For 120 hours, 5 days, our cameras are inside.
01:33Stop them now!
01:34Capturing the officers, inmates, and moments that define life behind bars.
01:40I'll be home soon, Frank.
01:41Tucked in the northwest corner of Louisiana, Caddo Parish has a population of just over 200,000
01:56people.
01:57The parish seat of Shreveport, the third largest city in the state, faces high violent and property
02:04crime rates, specifically homicides and auto thefts.
02:08And with one of the highest imprisonment rates in the state of Louisiana, the Caddo Correctional
02:13Center is currently about 500 inmates over capacity.
02:17Ain't nobody get locked out right now.
02:21The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office is currently trying to fill 80 open positions, the majority
02:27of which are for corrections deputies.
02:36I'm secure, Charlie.
02:375,000, 16, hit camera call.
02:40Let me ask you, what is ER2?
02:44All right, so, um...
02:47Go ahead.
02:49Come over to ECHO.
02:52We have to go to ECHO.
02:54They got a situation.
02:55When things get dicey for the housing unit deputy, they'll call it ERT.
02:58The emergency response team of the jail, ERT gets there within 15 seconds.
03:02They didn't take care of business.
03:04What we got, sir?
03:05We have a level system.
03:12For example, an inmate's beating on a door.
03:15The deputy gives them a first level.
03:17After that, they'll call a sergeant if they don't stop.
03:20And then once the sergeant tells them to stop and they don't, they'll give them a third level.
03:24At that point, ERT comes in, and we have to handle the situation.
03:29Inmate Jordy James is being temporarily removed from the housing unit.
03:39ERT is trained to respond to signals, any refusals, medical emergencies, suicide attempts, fights.
03:48On an average day, we're getting about 10 to 13 miles in.
03:52Just constantly moving.
03:54We stay very busy on ERT.
03:57The Caddo Correctional Center has eight housing units labeled A through H,
04:05covering a sprawling area of over 300,000 square feet.
04:14What's the problem, Jordan?
04:15Hey, that's all .
04:17Stop and toll it up.
04:19I need a camera on my face, bro.
04:22CCC has two indirect supervision units, known as segregation units, where uncooperative and violent inmates are temporarily housed.
04:34You can give them up to 22 hours on lockdown, so he's just going to do the rest of the time in the cell.
04:51By tomorrow, he's going to be back in Echo.
04:57Being on ERTs, it can kick off zero to 100 real fast, and you got to be ready for anything.
05:02Y'all good?
05:03Somebody's got to do it.
05:11So we were just advised that a combative inmate is coming into transportation.
05:15They called for ERT to step down and assist them with him.
05:18He's just giving them a hard time, so they called for us.
05:21At Caddo Correctional Center, the emergency response team escorts any kind of inmate movement throughout the facility, from intake to release.
05:43Go ahead and turn around and face that mat and listen to these guys while they passage, all right?
05:47When an arrestee arrives at the Caddo Correctional Center, they're patted down and brought into booking.
05:56Step in those shoes right there and wait.
06:00The jail takes multiple precautions to ensure that drugs and contraband aren't smuggled into the facility.
06:08This is where people that come in get arrested.
06:11It's their first stop.
06:12We get them processed on whatever charge.
06:15If they have a bond set and they make bond, they'll go out the front door.
06:20If they don't, they'll go to the back with the other inmates.
06:23Step up on that platform.
06:24All the way in here.
06:25Come on.
06:26Is it going to be a shower?
06:27No.
06:29Most of our transfers come from Shreveport, but we also have other agencies that arrest people out there in the streets.
06:35Greenwood Police Department, Oil City, Vivian Police Department, they all come to us.
06:40Does it suck?
06:41Yes.
06:43You got some people ahead of you.
06:44I got to get processed first.
06:45Now you told me to come back on the same court date.
06:48Listen, that's an issue for them.
06:50That's an issue for me that I'm dealing with.
06:53But you're trying...
06:54I was going through it when I was at court that same day.
06:56I can't help you.
06:57All I can do is process you on what you're here for.
06:59All right?
07:00If you need to lay down, you can lay down on one of them benches, though.
07:03Bullshit, man.
07:06I don't have his paperwork in front of me yet.
07:08But he's saying that he went to court on whatever charge and he's not supposed to be here.
07:13I don't know.
07:14You want me to have answers for him and I don't have it.
07:19Okay, where we at?
07:201,900 hours.
07:23Are you married, single?
07:24Yes, single.
07:25And the children?
07:26No, ma'am.
07:27Okay.
07:28Nineteen-year-old P.J. Pearson Bettys just transferred in from Shreveport City Jail.
07:34Nose ring?
07:36Earring?
07:38In case of emergency, you...
07:41Uh, my aim?
07:42Okay, gotcha.
07:43I'm gonna call you up, Charlie, and I'll finish your process, okay?
07:45Yes, go.
07:46All right.
07:55Tell me what's going on.
07:56Well, I got people from work, and they had taken me to the city jail.
07:59No, I don't know.
08:01I thought I was there for three days.
08:03I was then transported here.
08:07This is 100% new to me since I've never been in this type of environment before.
08:12No, I have never been in trouble before.
08:14No, no no.
08:16PJ was arrested for alleged involvement in a violent altercation at a gas station in Shreveport.
08:22Oh, .
08:24Have you seen a judge yet?
08:26No, I haven't even spoke to a judge yet.
08:28I've never seen a judge, unfortunately.
08:30So what's going through your mind right now?
08:35Pretty much nothing besides going home re-killed with my family.
08:41The young man, he's here on attempted second degree.
08:45So he does not have a bond.
08:48But once he gets bonded out here,
08:50then he'll go back to Shreveport on some misdemeanor charges.
08:53We the court, man.
08:55I know you don't believe me because I'm a criminal, right?
08:57No, no, it's not that.
08:59But your argument is not for me because I can't do nothing about it.
09:02You know what you're doing?
09:04You're snobbing me of getting everybody else and yourself from being both in.
09:09Now what you want me to do?
09:10You want to finish talking or you want me to finish processing you guys?
09:13What you want to do?
09:15I would want to have my shoes back and walk out.
09:17This is what I'm going to do, and I'm going to give you this final chance.
09:20Have a seat.
09:21If you get up and get to hooping and hollering,
09:23all them guys out there, I'm going to process them first and come back to you.
09:27I promise you.
09:30It's up to you.
09:32It seems like it's busy because I'm the only one here.
09:35But no, this is not busy for evening, Chef.
09:38I should have at least two security deputies,
09:41and they'll usually do everything that I'm doing or helping out and what have you.
09:46Why is that?
09:48Manpower shortage.
09:53Due to high turnover and a low number of qualified applicants,
09:57the Caddo Sheriff's Office is struggling to staff the correctional center.
10:01Let's go!
10:03Their current inmate-to-deputy ratio is 180 to 1.
10:08We do the best we can with what we have.
10:11That's it.
10:13Delta has a review.
10:16It's up.
10:17Go.
10:20An inmate in Delta Pod is refusing to follow housing deputy instructions.
10:25Deputies Allen and Mitchell of the emergency response team spring into action.
10:29ERT arrives in Delta just 18 seconds after the refusal was called in.
10:38Again, man?
10:39What's going on, man?
10:40I'm tired of this , man.
10:41Come on, man.
10:42This is going on, man.
10:43Inmate Marcus Stringer is subdued and taken into the lockdown cell.
10:48Inmate Marcus Stringer is subdued and taken into the lockdown cell.
10:53Got any of these?
10:56All right, listen to me.
10:57Turn your left hand first.
10:59When it comes out, put your hand on your head.
11:00You understand?
11:01Yeah.
11:02If you don't, you'll be tasty.
11:05All right.
11:07Gonna do the same for this one.
11:08Go ahead.
11:09Stay like that until the door closes.
11:18What was the call?
11:42So the deputy caught a refusal.
11:44We responded.
11:45He didn't want to go to lockdown.
11:47So we escorted him to cell one.
11:49Don't get up.
11:50It's done.
11:51Everybody's on the floor.
11:53What is the procedure?
11:54If you're standing up, you're part of the problem.
11:57So we let everyone know.
11:58If a signal's called, they need to lay on the ground.
12:05What just happened, man?
12:06Man, see what happened was, we got to bring our trays out of the cell
12:09to sell them on the cart.
12:10So when I brought my tray out, you know, I'm, like, disabling it.
12:13I was able to beat my leg up.
12:15So when I came out, she was like, man, get back in your cell.
12:17I'm like, I'm putting my tray up.
12:19So she got mad.
12:20You know what I'm saying?
12:21Put me back in my cell and she caught a refusal.
12:23It's 180 guys in there.
12:25It's a lot, but, you know, for my safety,
12:29you have to make a decision.
12:30Are you gonna call somebody or you gonna...
12:32I could have easily, like, you know,
12:34tried to maybe escort him into his cell,
12:36but then they would have got physical.
12:37Then I'm one person in here with all these guys.
12:41Why would you refuse?
12:45Because that's him.
12:47Yeah, that's what he does.
12:49I didn't do nothing wrong.
12:51I wasn't aggressive.
12:52Normally, I would have went all the way out with it.
12:54Normally, I would have been crazy and wouldn't have got tased,
12:57probably wouldn't have got maced sometime.
12:59But they have less of your cheese and just the deputies now.
13:02So I wasn't trying to make a bad decision.
13:04I go home next month, and I'm hoping, man,
13:06to get out of here and make something out of it, man.
13:12Stringer will stay in lockdown for as long as the deputy sees fit,
13:14but no longer than 22 hours.
13:16And he's going to get out of here and make something out of it, man.
13:19Stringer will stay in lockdown for as long as the deputy sees fit,
13:22longer than 22 hours.
13:31Good afternoon, sir.
13:32I'm good.
13:33How are you, sir?
13:34I'm good.
13:35How are you, sir?
13:36Thank you, sir.
13:37You too.
13:38I was told as a young kid that one day I would be a police officer,
13:42and I never thought twice about it.
13:44I have 14 years here at the Catapara Sheriff's Office.
13:47How are you, Lieutenant?
13:52Lieutenant Parker Crockett enters a unit for a routine inspection
13:58to ensure the well-being of the inmates
14:00and that all safety protocol is being followed.
14:03I'm going to go do a walk around.
14:13In the Cattle Correctional Center, we have around 1,500 inmates
14:16incarcerated currently.
14:17About 200 females versus about 1,300 men.
14:20We have anybody from petty theft to murder charges.
14:24Gentlemen, I need these chip bags to come out of this window, please.
14:30Somebody said all right, but nobody's taking them down.
14:34Thank you, sir.
14:36Deputy needs to be able to see so that they can see that everyone inside the cell is safe,
14:42everyone is secure.
14:43More importantly, everyone is alive.
14:45We also house inmates who have behavior problems, a lot of mental health issues.
14:52Fifty-seven, please.
14:55Guys, I need y'all to take those down.
14:59Just consider contraband, and these items should not be in the window.
15:02Our biggest challenge is definitely security and manpower.
15:07If we don't have the manpower to man the jail, we can't keep everybody safe here.
15:15And that's our main concern.
15:17On any given day, it could be one officer in the pod and at least 170, maybe 180 inmates in that pod.
15:24It's our job to do around-the-clock checks on these guys to ensure that everybody's safe.
15:28We have to feed them.
15:29We have to allow them to get a certain amount of rec time every day and every week.
15:34But if we only have one deputy in every part, the risk of that deputy being hurt or injured goes up.
15:40If the deputy can't check on the guys as often as they should,
15:43if the deputy can't respond in a timely manner to a particular situation,
15:46somebody could really get hurt.
15:49Of course, if we work together as a team and we just push through,
15:52we just find a way to get it done, hey, we'll do just fine.
15:56Let's go against that wall, bring that chin down a little bit.
16:06Depending on the jail's workload, the booking process can take up to 12 hours.
16:11What can I use the bathroom at?
16:14Pearson, come on, right here for me.
16:16PJ is nearing the end and will soon get his phone call.
16:20Okay, you're 19 years young.
16:23Yes, sir.
16:24All right, you're here because of attempted, second degree.
16:28You don't have a bond on that.
16:30Theft of a motor vehicle, same thing, you don't have a bond.
16:33If convicted of both charges, PJ could face anywhere from 10 to 70 years in prison.
16:42What you're going to do is go and pick up one of those handsets out there.
16:45If you have problems, I'll help you.
16:46Yes, sir. I appreciate it.
16:47All right, yes, sir.
16:51Enjoy.
16:52I can hear y'all.
17:06Yes, ma'am.
17:09Man, where my little brother?
17:12What you doing there, bro?
17:15Hmm?
17:17I miss you more, bro.
17:22Hmm?
17:25I'll be home sooner, bro.
17:32I love y'all too.
17:35Right.
17:45You done, Betty? You done?
17:47All right, when you get yourself together, I'm going to have you come back here in a few minutes.
17:50All right.
17:51All my family members saw that one call, asked me to get my head up.
17:56Oh, oh.
17:57I don't want myself.
17:59Be strong.
18:01Be strong.
18:02Be strong.
18:03Be strong.
18:04Be strong.
18:05Be strong.
18:06Well, boy, no.
18:07They go for it.
18:08They don't think you have a different person for this.
18:10Which would be a place or these place or not.
18:13So, yeah.
18:14You'll keep it.
18:15You're trying to be a big player.
18:16You kind of try to be a big player.
18:17I'm trying to be a big player.
18:18And you get a little number that you will remember.
18:19Or you can just keep it.
18:21All right, Jimmy, that's your team.
18:23Despite the shortage of manpower, some veteran deputies at CCC have made a career out of
18:49corrections. Like Corporal Levi Brown. I've been here 20 years roughly, a little bit over. I was
18:58in the military before that, USMC Marine Corps. Let's go, let's go. I was trying to find something
19:04to do once I got out, stumbled across this, and it just fell right in line. My nickname around is
19:15a major pain. If I tell them to do something, they do it. If you don't do it, then you suffer
19:20what's coming behind that. I try to be firm, but I try to be fair. You have to be firm.
19:40You can't come in and be one way one day, and then come back the next day and be another
19:45way. It's not for everybody. If you're not a hands-on, direct supervision type person, it's
19:53not going to be for you. You're right there, face to face. Things can go wrong on the drop
19:58of a dime. Let's go. Levi Brown. You know how to be shocked? I'll tell you that much. I've
20:07been known since 2005. He raised me in his mother . You know, we're going to respect him,
20:11he's going to respect us. Marcus Stringer, I knew his father. And been here 20-something years,
20:23it does add up. So a lot of them probably were elementary school teenagers when the fathers
20:30and stuff was coming through here. And now they're grown and they're here. Let's go.
20:36Damn it, Brown. Somebody has to break that cycle.
20:42I started coming to Kettle. I was like 17. My first child was like a flight from an officer,
20:55reckless operational vehicle. My second child was armed robbery, drug paraphernalia. I've
21:03been to Kettle like nine times. Inside these walls, you only got one life. Gotta make the best
21:11out of it. Because if you don't, man, it's going to be hell. You see how we living? This
21:18is a real life bathroom. Your toilet, the sink, the mirror, the bed area, the table. You got
21:27everything you want all in one spot. But when you step outside of this wall, you're dealing
21:32with over 170-something individual personalities. So you got to be able to be able to think fast
21:38and move fast. If you don't think fast and move fast, man, you're just lost.
21:55This unit is hotel. When they're first booked in here, they come here first. That's it.
22:06First-timer PJ has just spent his first night in H unit.
22:13Why don't we check in with you? So what happened since we last saw you?
22:17Last time I seen y'all, what happened was I was being rolled into the system. And after that,
22:23they let me go take a shower. And after that, I sent to my room or to myself.
22:30What's the arrangements in here? Yes, sir. This is my bed. At first, I didn't have the sheet. I don't know what it is.
22:38I had to adjust the frame. A little frame. So I had to put this on top. Put this on top of there.
22:45Make a pillow out of my clothes. I got a spoon. Put the other soap. Toothbrush. A pen.
22:58Shampoo. Body. You know, body wash. I was in one. Then razor. Then they gave me my card.
23:07Tail. Extra set of clothes. Then I said resources. That's about it.
23:14They forgot to give me toothpaste. I got to brush my teeth.
23:18I got to brush my teeth. Have you been out yet? Like, the day around?
23:23No, I haven't been out yet. Yeah, I've been locked down since I've been in.
23:35Hey, hey, y'all come out. Stand on the chair.
23:40What's next for you in terms of the process here?
23:43Monday come around, I'll be able to talk to my lawyer.
23:46Then we'll talk to the judge about me getting out of here.
23:49Hopefully, I'll be free.
23:52How'd you get a lawyer?
23:55With my mother. She gave me a bail bondsman, too.
24:00I'm getting all that sorted out from outside the walls.
24:03Oh, so you may be able to bond out at some point?
24:07Hopefully. Yes, sir.
24:09I'll be able to talk to the judge.
24:11I'll be able to talk to my son.
24:12PJ will soon have a bond hearing where he will speak to a judge about his charges for the first time
24:27and find out if he'll be able to go home.
24:30Back in Deltapod, veteran inmate Marcus Stringer and his cellmates take advantage of their rec time.
24:51You know what I mean? I'm doing mine. I'm doing mine. I'm doing mine. I'm doing mine. I'm big, man.
24:58I'm big, man.
25:00Yeah, for you, baby. For you, baby. For you, baby.
25:04What's up, man?
25:06Everything we do is sharing here.
25:08Yeah, we living together.
25:09We living together. We eating together.
25:11Yeah, we .
25:12We together. Look at the toilet.
25:14We drank together.
25:15Yeah.
25:16I'm making a sweet cappuccino right now.
25:18And to my other fellas, bring me the coffee. Where the coffee at?
25:21Yeah, bring the coffee. I need it now.
25:25Come on. Be on time, man. What I pay you for.
25:28I am a talk around the jail. You know what I'm saying?
25:31Marcus Stringer, man. Are you going to hear my name?
25:33I had to make a name for myself, but this is who I am.
25:35I was the first junior out there ever touched a cattle company out.
25:38So when I came here, I had, like, these fights back to back.
25:41Every day I'm fighting. I had to prove a point. You know what I'm saying?
25:44So the point I had to prove is, like, let these people know that I'm young, but I'm dangerous.
25:48Like, it's...
25:49We got delivery. We got delivery.
25:50So that's why we got the coffee here.
25:51We got the coffee.
25:52We got the coffee.
25:53We got the coffee.

27:22That ain't going to do me nothing.

27:26That's what we gonna do?
27:28Yeah, we doing it.
27:32Hurry up.
27:33I'm going to lock that.
27:35In Deltapod, Corporal Levi Brown is dealing with Marcus Stringer's cellmate,
27:40who refused an order to remove his headgear.
27:43I took it off, and I'm still going to lock that.
27:46That's crazy.
27:47I'm going to take my cup and spoon.
27:49I might have to stay there for about 22 hours.
27:51Don't worry about it, man.
27:52It's your time.
27:53How you doing?
27:54It's your time.
27:55How you doing?
27:56It's your time.
27:57How you doing?
27:58In lockdown cell, it can range anywhere from 2 hours to 22 hours.
28:00He's getting 22 because he'll refuse to take off that headgear that is not issued at his country band.
28:15He'll get toilet paper.
28:16He gets his cup and spoon and that is it.
28:18Left foot.
28:19Step in.
28:20What's up, man?
28:21PJ is waiting to meet with a judge for his bond hearing.
28:24We'll be able to see if I'll be able to make bond today, and hopefully it's not nothing over the amount that I can't really see it.
28:39We'll give you a bond, set your new court date, and assign an attorney.
28:40Most of your cases will be assigned to the public defender's office.
28:41Once everybody's done being seen, we'll bring a paper.
28:42That paper's going to have your new court date, and it's going to have whatever your bond was set to.
28:46Capiche?
28:47Capiche.
28:48Capiche.
28:49I sure appreciate you.
28:50Okay.
28:51Ashley.
28:52What if you read the case?
28:53No.
28:54No.
28:55No.
28:56No.
28:57No.
28:58No.
28:59No.
29:00No.
29:01No.
29:02No.
29:03No.
29:04No.
29:05No.
29:06No.
29:07No.
29:08No.
29:09No.
29:10No.
29:11No.
29:12No.
29:13No.
29:14No.
29:15No.
29:16Right now, I'm reading the Holy Bible.
29:19If I can redirect my path to the Lord,
29:25before He could use me as a sign for whatever I need to do.
29:32Mr. Bettys, you can step this way.
29:34P.J. is brought before the judge so that bail can be set.
29:49That's it.
29:52Okay.
29:56I couldn't really, you know, hear him for real.
30:04It was so chopped on a lot of the speaker.
30:07I couldn't really even think about what he just said.
30:11After meeting with the judge,
30:13all inmates are given an official document
30:15containing their next court date and bond amount.
30:18Daniel!
30:22Excuse me, Lieutenant.
30:24You got me with this?
30:26That's your new court date?
30:27That's 18?
30:28Mm-hmm.
30:28Okay.
30:30$500,000 and $10,000?
30:31So what this means is you have at least one felony charge
30:36and you will go back to court to obtain counsel.
30:39Okay.
30:40All right.
30:40That's all right.
30:46Well, we heard it from there.
30:48That's what that is.
30:49With a total bond amount of $510,000,
30:53P.J. will stay in jail until his court date in three weeks,
30:57unless he can come up with 12%, $61,000.
31:03Yo, it's on the 7th, so you only got 15 minutes apiece.
31:06$54?
31:07$54?
31:08$54?
31:08$54?
31:08No.
31:08Hey, you can go to compound lockdown,
31:21and then if you can kind of call a crew to muster,
31:27I know you ain't got much, so we'll just get what we can.
31:31All right.
31:31Lieutenant James Moore of the Cato Correctional Center's
31:37Special Investigations Unit is leading a targeted shakedown
31:40in the jail today.
31:42In the Special Investigations Unit,
31:44we are investigators slash detectives on incidents
31:48that happened inside the jail.
31:50Come on.
31:52We've had a problem in this housing unit
31:55with possible synthetic marijuana getting into the jail.
31:58The last thing we want is an inmate to get hurt
32:00by smoking something that they shouldn't be smoking.
32:03Heaven forbid one pass away or one of them gets sick.
32:08You know, our job is to protect the inmates, no matter what.
32:13All right, y'all, I got the film crew.
32:15We ain't doing this just for filming purposes.
32:17It just happened to hit on this day.
32:19This is what we got.
32:20We're going to go hit echo.
32:22Y'all all know you've heard the rumor of the employee
32:24that was allegedly bringing stuff in.
32:27We can't talk about that right now.
32:28We're going to do one tier at a time.
32:30We're going to bring them out.
32:31We're pat-searching everybody and putting them in the wreck yard.
32:33Okay?
32:36Everybody good?
32:42All right.
32:42With 15 officers carrying out the shakedown,
32:58the entire facility is put on compound lockdown.
33:02In E-Unit, the water is turned off
33:04to prevent the flushing of any contraband.
33:06The dog, that's a genetic predatory response or predatory odor that we put in them.
33:33It could be marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, any of those.
33:41Synthetic marijuana is very, very, very, very dangerous.
33:44Okay?
33:44A lot of times they call it K2 on the street.
33:47What they do is they'll soak it in some type of fluid
33:51and then put it on paper.
33:53It could be right here.
33:54And then they sell it.
33:55And one sheet of paper, I believe, the going rate is $500.
33:59A canine alerts on an inmate locker,
34:27signaling to the Special Investigations Unit
34:30that it either contains or at one time contain dangerous synthetic marijuana,
34:35known as K2.
34:42The canine signals on another cell.
34:45More.
34:47There's a bunch of stuff in the toilet.
34:49I don't know if they threw it in there.
34:51You can smell it in there.
34:53You got the same thing in this foot locker over here.
34:55If we walked in the door with all of the people,
34:59they would start flushing everything.
35:00We shut the water off about 10 or 15 minutes before for that purpose.
35:04You still smell that burning smell.
35:06It's just regular paper, but it has a waxy film to it.
35:10And that's how we know what it is.
35:12Did you find anything?
35:14Nothing out of the normal.
35:15But neither one of those inmates are going back inside those cells
35:18because since the dog hit on those cells,
35:20it's a possibility that there is drugs inside the cell.
35:24Don't act confused.
35:25Y'all know what's going on?
35:27Okay.
35:27Well, you're about to find out.
35:30The inmates living in the cells where the dogs alerted
35:33are being moved to the Segregation Unit,
35:37pending further investigations by the SIU.
35:40After the shakedown,
35:48inmates are brought in from the rec yard
35:49and searched once more before going back to their cells.
35:53I don't be putting your hands on me like that, man.
35:57Come on, you're trying to hold up, man.
35:58You're going too far, man.
35:59Appreciate you.
36:01Appreciate you.
36:04What the heck just happened?
36:06It was a calculated hit.
36:07They sucked the whole dorm down,
36:09but they really wanted one person.
36:13They wasn't trying to mess with everybody else.
36:14Everybody else was just a decoy so it won't look...
36:17Aw.
36:19Why do you think that?
36:21I'm saying...
36:23I'm going to come here.
36:25They're short-staffed.
36:27The reason they're short-staffed is because
36:29they're not getting paid much.
36:31So I could put $600, $700 in your pocket like that.
36:35A couple grand in your pocket.
36:37Come bring this in for me.
36:40It ain't us.
36:41We can't grow this in here.
36:43So you tell me where you think it's coming from.
36:47Cattle Correctional Center in the air.
36:49In the air with their staff.
36:52Everybody like to keep us in cages.
36:54We got a 98% conviction rate out of everybody.
36:56I just had a partner just take a life sentence.
37:00Ain't nothing but 17.
37:01It's crazy, but it is what it is.
37:08What's going on, PJ?
37:24Like, you're in lockdown here.
37:26The reason I'm in a cell is because I was on the phone
37:29talking to my mom about my case and my lawyer.
37:32I didn't know you couldn't make a call after a certain time.
37:35Like I said, it's my first time in jail.
37:37Nobody gave me the rules.
37:38Nobody told me nothing.
37:40I'm supposed to learn everything on my own, I guess.
37:43So that woman got mad at me and she threw me in there.
37:45I've been there for at least 21 hours now.
37:48I mean, are you scared about what may happen?
37:53No, unfortunately I'm not.
37:55I'm just, I guess, accepting the point that
37:59it's going to be a while until I get out of here, basically.
38:04I know it's not going to be tomorrow and the next day.
38:08It's going to be eventually, though.
38:09So I just have to keep my head up and stay blessed and stay prayed.
38:12So as soon as I'm motivated enough, I'll be down here eventually.
38:18Stay in there and get shit.
38:20Stay prepared.
38:21Stay prepared.
38:21Ah, stay prepared.
38:23I'm not going to know you're going to go with me.
38:25Stay in my head, don't go in, don't go in.
38:27Hello?
38:31How you doing, sweetheart?
38:34You see how I got the tattoo, the name on you?
38:37I would've only got it.
38:38Everything's about to be different from us.
38:42I promise you.
38:43You hear me?
38:44When I come home, I'm going to put the ring on that fight.
38:48We're going to be married.
38:49We're going to have my five more kids.
38:50We're going to have a football.
38:51I'm going to have my long football team.
38:52I know I've got a football team, but them ain't my sports fans.
38:55Them just with the cheerleaders and the little big point guards.
38:57I want to know what we're going to do.
38:58We're going to get a room.
38:59We're going to eat dinner.
39:00We just have to go eat it.
39:01I want it to be a nice, fine restaurant.
39:05I love you.
39:06I'm thinking about you.
39:07Stranger, let's go.
39:08It's time.
39:09Stranger, you better not have nothing.
39:12I ain't got nothing.
39:13What do you got?
39:14My tablet.
39:15Put it up.
39:16No, man.
39:17I'm touching you.
39:18See, that's the thing with Stranger.
39:19Put it back.
39:20Stranger of all people is Stranger.
39:24You going home, bro.
39:25Yeah.
39:26Yeah, pack your stuff.
39:27Get out of here.
39:28Let's go.
39:29I'm going to go.
39:30I'm going to go.
39:31I'm going to go.
39:32I'm going to go.
39:33I'm going to go.
39:34I'm going to go.
39:35I'm going to go.
39:36I'm going to go.
39:37You better not have nothing.
39:38I ain't got nothing.
39:39What do you got?
39:40My tablet.
39:41Put it up.
39:42No, man.
39:43I'm touching you.
39:44See, that's the thing with Stranger.
39:46Put it back.
39:47Stranger of all people is Stranger.
39:50Hey, you say, hurry up.
39:52Yeah, pack your stuff.
39:54How long you been here, Hardy?
39:55Nine months, man.
39:56Nine months?
39:57Nine months.
39:58First time, the hardest nine months of my life.
40:00And I'm glad it's over.
40:02Still on the flip side, but yeah.
40:05That's real.
40:06All right, old boy.
40:08Stay out of here, brother.
40:10I will.
40:12You got to believe it.
40:14I'll put you in this holding cell that you change clothes,
40:15all right?
40:18When I'm releasing people, you know, it's a good feeling.
40:21Come on.
40:24I always hope I don't see these guys again.
40:26But unfortunately, in my almost eight years,
40:29I have seen a lot of the same guys over and over and over.
40:32All right, you good?
40:33You good?
40:34Station A, you're getting one for release.
40:38For me, law enforcement is very fulfilling.
40:40Getting out there and helping, be it the inmates helping them out
40:43or the deputies helping them out when they need it.
40:45Don't come back.
40:46You better than this.
40:47You know, there's a negative light on law enforcement.
40:50In general.
40:51And hopefully, the ones out there who have it in their hearts,
40:55who want to be in law enforcement,
40:57will come and, you know, be our partners.
41:02And I love it.
41:03So here I am.
41:05All right, so you see the street right there?
41:07All the way down there, just follow the street.
41:09That's the best stuff.

41:26All right, man.

41:28Alright.
41:29The best stuff, Holá covid.
41:31It only has a good idea that we don't use all our needs yet.
41:33It's wise.
41:34Nope.
41:35With me.
41:36Of course, all right.
41:37This is my email.
41:38It has a good idea apart.
