00:07This film has gone.
00:11Once you've all committed 5-0-9-5-11.
00:19What happened?
00:20Huh?
00:21What happened?
00:21What happened?
00:22What happened with the black?
00:25With the black?
00:26They took the ostrich.
00:27They just took Jarrant.
00:28Shut the fuck up.
00:28They took him to the hall.
00:30He had a spit mask on, bro, he was throwing his staff and shit.
00:33He had what?
00:34A spit mask on.
00:35Shut the fuck up.
00:36I swear to God.
00:39M.A. Jackson was being very defiant, saying that he was going to punch us.
00:43He started spitting on the door.
00:45And obviously it's not pleasant to have somebody spit on you.
00:49So for our safety, put the mask on him, and then we took him out of the unit.
00:56We don't go in there talking to them crazy.
00:59We respect the inmates, and we expect the same in return.
01:06They got drill, man.
01:08He said, I don't give a fuck.
01:11Take all the blacks out here or what?
01:13First it was KJ.
01:15Is this a setup?
01:18For real, he just go crazy.
01:21When KJ left, yeah, yeah, he was hurt.
01:25KJ really didn't do nothing.
01:26The CO was tripping.
01:28A lot of them officers don't even like this program.
01:30Like, who knows?
01:31Maybe she got cut off on her way to work.
01:34KJ's a good dude, man.
01:35He does kind of poke the bear a little bit.
01:37It's going to be all bad for the program.
01:39It's going to be all bad for him.
01:40It's going to be all bad for us.
01:41If I'm fucking with a toxic CO, and I keep pushing it and saying shit, and this person keeps saying
01:46shit, what is my end goal?
01:48Yeah.
01:48Where are we, where does this, where does this end?
01:51And, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's going to end with the fucking, probably the hammer, which is usually never me, and
01:57the nail.
01:58I am using the nail.
02:00I'm using the fucking nail.
02:05So, with the sheriff's program, these inmates try to get a little mouthy with us, because they get that freedom,
02:11that privilege.
02:12They kind of want to do what they want, basically.
02:15Yeah, brother.
02:16Sorry it took so long.
02:18If they could understand that with these freedoms, respect goes a long way.
02:22Be careful and be accountable for what you're doing, because if you don't, there's repercussions, you know.
02:28All right.
02:29Got an urgent call from my staff.
02:30They're not happy with this pod, this program, and with me.
02:34We got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven staff members.
02:40I believe that the structure that the inmates are kind of trying to set up isn't really working.
02:52They're in here for a reason.
02:54They can't follow rules on the streets.
02:56The program being ran in 100, I mean, it kind of makes us look bad.
03:02It's a pain in the ass job.
03:04All right.
03:05We've had a wave of violence and drugs, and now we have disrespect on my staff.
03:10I consider PCSO employees to be parts of my family, the PCSO family.
03:15So when you're disrespectful to one of my family members, you're disrespectful to me.
03:19And that hurts me to the core, and it's not something I will stand for or ever accept.
03:23How do you think this is going to end?
03:25We'll see how they end.
03:26I'm going to put them back on lockdown while I think seriously about the future of this program.
03:32But if I decide that these guys truly aren't prepared to change, they're going to have
03:36to face the consequences.
03:39100!
03:46At the end of the day, this is a jail, and having the inmates kind of police themselves
03:51and run themselves, it's just going to, it's just waiting for something to happen.
03:57Gentlemen!
03:59All right, gentlemen, come back now!
04:08I don't see the program moving forward at all.
04:23I don't see the program moving forward at all.
04:36Sometimes we get carried away when we get a little freedom, you know, if we get too much
04:40freedom, we hang ourselves, and this is what happens.
05:03That's all bad, you know, because, like, we don't want to jeopardize the program with all the
05:06most disrespected towards staff.
05:08That's already happened in the last couple days.
05:10I guarantee every morning the sheriff wakes up, he gets a report on this fucking project
05:15he's trying to do.
05:16And I just hope Sheriff Teeple understands that it's not everybody that's acting that way.
05:22You know, it's a few stupid individuals.
05:27There's the thing, man, these people think they're entitled, okay?
05:30It's not about what we can get, it's what we can get out of it.
05:34It's what we can do to advance and fucking better ourselves, and, you know, the staff has a job
05:40to do, and if we're fighting them every step of the way, if we're fucking doing nothing
05:44but making the sheriff Teeple's fucking employees have to work harder, he's not going to continue
05:51the program.
05:59Oh, shit, here it comes, guys, ready?
06:06Don't clap, I'm not happy.
06:26I feel a little anxiety, you know what I mean?
06:29You know, hope for the best and expect the worst.
06:32Lockdown.
06:35We got locked down, we had some people that were active, we're definitely trying to address that as a pod.
06:40You know, we are not trying to advocate disrespect the staff at all, we understand it, and we definitely
06:46all want to apologize, this is your staff.
06:48It's just scared men, they're afraid to change.
06:50And that's what it boils down to.
06:53And we're trying to address it in a positive way without, you know, old school tactics.
06:58There's always going to be repercussions for your actions, but I hope he sees that.
07:02We're trying to take complete and full responsibility.
07:05As far as where we progress with this experiment, I've tried to be very clear with you guys from
07:11the beginning.
07:12Whether the doors stay open and the program continues after this six-week experiment is up to you.
07:22We all have bad days.
07:24Right.
07:24And we all need to learn how to control it.
07:26We all need to learn how to control it.
07:30You brought it up that it's an issue, we'll fix that as a community.
07:33Yeah.
07:33Absolutely.
07:34Absolutely.
07:35And I appreciate that very much, because that's the number one thing that I'm trying to
07:38get through and trying to instill is the fact that we all have to be a community.
07:49Because I want this to continue forward.
07:53And we're trying to make sure that don't happen again.
07:56I would rather use this as a reset.
08:03Instead of just fucking scrap the whole thing.
08:07Let bygones be bygones and let's do a reset.
08:10So this recent behavior is very serious.
08:13And it's something that we're going to keep a close eye on going forward.
08:16But it did not appear that the majority of the pod were engaged in this activity.
08:21And they apologized for the actions of the pod.
08:24I thought they were very genuine when they said that.
08:27So I don't want to let the actions of a few completely upend all of the progress that's been made.
08:32So are we in agreement with that?
08:34We are.
08:37Thank you guys.
08:38Appreciate you guys' time.
08:44The Chair of Teeples, he's pretty optimistic.
08:46He wants to see the best in everybody.
08:48And I think he wants to see this experiment, you know, go well.
08:52Three lockdowns in a month.
08:54I mean, and he's still continuing the experiment.
08:56So it's his decision.
09:00We, you know, we'll do whatever the good sheriff says, so.
09:04Hopefully when they get this six weeks is over on this,
09:08hopefully they take the reentry program to the other part of the jail.
09:13It's a new program, so there's definitely bugs and kinks to be worked out.
09:17But us as a group, as a community, they see that we're trying,
09:20that this program's actually working.
09:22And that we want this to be successful,
09:24so it's still here for the next bucket of people that come through.
09:27I think you've got the right group of people in there right now
09:29to prove that it can be done.
09:31Then let's, let's do that.
09:36Oh, dude, we don't want to talk about a laundry porter.
09:39It's tonight. The laundry's tonight.
09:41KJ and Sunshine were our honorary laundry porter.
09:46Well, we come a long way, me and you, huh?
09:49So anything you want to get your first weight on?
09:50Yeah, yeah.
09:51Don't, don't sure it is.
09:53One went to prison and the other one went to the hole.
09:55So now we have to get a couple of more laundry porters
09:58because we're trying to get people responsibility in this pod,
10:03see if it helps out a lot, at all.
10:06I wouldn't mind either being a laundry porter.
10:09Okay, well then check this out.
10:11I'm absolutely the one to help out in whatever way I can.
10:14I nominate you the new laundry porter.
10:17Who's the second porter?
10:19It's him and Phil.
10:22Phil.
10:23Philip wanted to.
10:25He's really excited about it,
10:27so somebody else can be happy over it
10:29and make sure it gets done, you know?
10:30Don't mix your whites with your colors.
10:32Okay, so there's laundry every night?
10:36Sunday it's collected.
10:38I'll collect from upstairs you can collect from downstairs.
10:40Little things like, you know, taking the laundry.
10:42You know, it all starts somewhere
10:44and hopefully it starts with us taking this seriously.
10:46I don't want the sheriff to think that we're not giving a shit.
10:50And I'm hoping he sees that the majority of us
10:53actually do care
10:54because that's one of the things that's going to keep this going.
10:57If we're not fucking acting right for disrespecting the staff,
10:59why the fuck is he going to let it continue?
11:01Laundry?
11:02Hey, buddy.
11:03Just the simple things that these young kids
11:06just can't seem to grasp.
11:07You know that the cop that's working,
11:09she's a loudmouth, she's cranky,
11:12she was being a bitch.
11:13So back away from that.
11:15It would have been over.
11:16You got clothes with me and push?
11:18Yeah?
11:19Hey, guys. Check it out.
11:21Oranges are tonight.
11:22Colors.
11:23I'm gonna be coming out and collect for the bottom tier.
11:26Easy training right now.
11:27He's doing great.
11:28He's doing great.
11:30Any, any...
11:31I catch him fucking up,
11:32and then I'm gonna correct him.
11:33Put it aside,
11:34hey,
11:35you're messing up right here.
11:36You know what I mean?
11:36But so far he's doing good,
11:37I'm proud of this guy.
11:38Yeah, yeah.
11:39He's real promising.
11:40That's a real promising future right here
11:41in the life of business.
11:43Yeah.
11:45Yeah.
11:46Yeah.
11:46Yeah.
11:47It's just the smell.
11:47Smell it.
11:48Mm, I like that shit.
11:49It smells like winter fresh,
11:51like gum.
11:51It's just the, it's just the...
11:57That's why you're talking shit, dog.
11:59That's why you're talking shit.
12:00Why?
12:00Huh?
12:01Cause you're fucking feeling for me not to leave.
12:04Yeah.

13:11Sure.
13:12This reentry program, like, really opened my eyes
13:14and made me see life for what it is.
13:17This time, it's going to be a big change in my life
13:20because I took this as a blessing from God,
13:24him putting me in here and him getting me out.
13:29I feel like he's like kind of been like kind of opening his eyes he's wanting to do better for
13:36himself his kids and you know his family it just takes a while you know he did chill out a

15:41I miss them so much.

15:45And this right here just give me a big push right here.
15:48Life goes on.
15:49Just keep pushing forward.
15:51You guys go talk to me?
16:10Hey, Cap.
16:11How are you doing?
16:12Hey.
16:13Good, all right.
16:14How you been?
16:14Good.
16:15Sure, hey.
16:16So we're just discussing the next phase.
16:18What did you have in mind?
16:20When we asked them guys to participate in this program,
16:23we said, you come up with what you desire and make it reasonable.
16:27And one of the things overwhelmingly they said is in-person visits.
16:31Okay.
16:32In person?
16:33Yes.
16:34It's what they asked for.
16:35We wanted to show them that if they did what they needed to do and they participated in this program,
16:42that contact with family could be an end result.
16:44And so if there's not misconduct for the next several days, I want to give them that opportunity.
16:50If it works and it actually makes them program and learn the life skills that they need to get back
16:54on the road, great.
16:57I know what a pain it is.
16:59I know that in the past, that's where a lot of contraband came through.
17:03Yes.
17:04So we're going to have to double down on security, bringing anybody in here to make sure they're not bringing
17:07contraband in.
17:08We'll have to man some people outside the visit area.
17:11In the lobby too.
17:13We got to get somebody in there that's going to really check.
17:15Yeah.
17:15We got the scanners.
17:16We got the wands.
17:17Yep.
17:18Implement all those no purses.
17:20Nothing in their pockets.
17:21Empty pocket, everything.
17:23Okay.
17:25I strongly don't agree with it.
17:27We did have in-person visitation years ago when the jail opened in 96.
17:33But you have a lot of issues of contraband coming into our facility.
17:37And that went on for, because jail opened in 96, a couple years or three years.
17:40And finally, we had to suspend it because of the contraband coming in.
17:46All right.
17:47We're working out.
17:48Yeah.
17:49You don't know what to expect from the visitors.
17:51You can have an individual that says, oh, I want my significant other to come and visit me.
17:57And the expectation is, is this is going to be warm, you know, welcoming.
18:02You're going to get out of here.
18:03The house is good.
18:04The kids are good.
18:05And then the significant other shows up and they've got divorce papers.
18:10I remember a male inmate getting into a fight with his wife.
18:14A domestic violence incident happened right there in the visitation area.
18:17Well, if they're programming, doing what they're supposed to, then that's going to be a big plus for them,
18:21because they get to see the family.
18:22Yes, it is.
18:22They're going to come.
18:23Yeah.
18:24My gut reaction was, hell no.
18:26Um, yeah, just these guys, they have nothing but time.
18:31And they're very inventive and creative on how they try and think of ways to get stuff in here.
18:36So visits is one of the easiest ways to do it.
18:40So we're instantly thinking of any kind of issues that could go wrong with it.
18:44All you hope for is everything goes okay.
18:52Yeah.
19:11I don't think so.
19:14I don't think so.
19:22There was one individual, he received some bad news from his family.
19:26He reacted in a way that wasn't desirable.
19:29A few more weeks is lost.
19:30That's all it lasts.
19:34I want to be a real bitch.
19:36My staff member decided that the best course of action was to immediately remove him from
19:40there so we could review the entire situation, give him a time to decompress.
19:43At the end of it, we determined that it wasn't a violation to the degree that would cause
19:48him to be removed from the program, so he was allowed to enter back into the program.
20:01Like, fuck, bro, I was stressed the fuck out this last week, bro, I ain't even gonna lie.
20:17You know, the police, they do have a 30, which I know they do, it's just, I really didn't
20:24give a fuck that day.
20:27I'm a human too, like, does got feelings too.
20:44When I was in the hole, I hit a new level of desperation.
20:50I was, like, crying a whole lot.
20:52It was probably best I was in the hole during that time, and, like, I tried to sing my,
20:55me and my granny's coping song that we always used to sing, which is Stand By Me by Benny
20:59King.
21:02I got this new mentality on, like, my granny, she promoted me for the change.
21:07Like, I just had to think about all that repeatedly by myself.
21:20It's cool, it's best that they, that everybody know and don't come up asking me, like, okay,
21:24he's going through something right now, just, like, let me be for a little minute.
21:29Yeah, I got to talk to all my siblings, except my baby two brothers.
21:33I talked to my little sister, the one that told me, she made me, like, smile and laugh
21:36a little bit.
21:38She got my grandma, my great grandma, on video, saying that she was the favorite grandchild,
21:45but she tells us all that, but she's the only one with the video.
21:47She said my great grandma was like, no, no, stop that, you're going to get me in trouble,
21:51and stuff like that.
21:53I'm good at dealing with things, but I can't lose people.
21:55Like, I lost too many people.
21:57I remember just, like, screaming at God in the hole by myself, like, part of me died,
22:01too.
22:03Her last words to me were, don't give up.
22:05So it's like I had to bring myself back to life kind of today.
22:09The KJ I knew from when he first hit the pod to the KJ that came back from the hole
22:13is completely fucking different.
22:16This program taught me it's time to take control of my life.
22:18And I promised myself in the hole, make my granny happy wherever she's finna be.
22:36It's real hard for her to find somebody that, like, know how to do this, especially in county jail, like
22:40on the streets.
22:44KJ's return has brought a sense of calm to the pod, but some lingering mistrust between inmates remains.
23:02Burlam, he was up in that room, and I can tell the way he was acting,
23:06and there's something wrong here with this picture.
23:09I got back up to get my coughing sweeteners, and it was gone.
23:14Guaranteed, you're in fucking deep, bro.
23:18I just had six of them, five or six of them this morning.
23:24I got two.
23:25I got two.
23:25You gave me two.
23:26Earlier?
23:27Not today.
23:28Not since you gave me the last two.
23:29Right.
23:29And this dude must be stealing the sweeteners.
23:32He's stealing.
23:32He has to be.
23:33I have 20.
23:34I got one left.
23:36That's some dirtbag shit right there.
23:38Do you know what I mean?
23:39That's dirtbag shit.
23:41But, so I just asked him if he got it, or somebody, he seen somebody get it?
23:46No, no, no, no.
23:47No, no, no, no.
23:47No, no, no, no.
23:49Hi, Harry, you were up here.
23:50Never died.
23:51I don't know.
23:51I just got a cup of coffee before I came down there, and them things were in there.
23:56When that thing got dinner came back up, the shit's gone.
23:59I don't know.
24:00It's crazy.
24:01I don't know if Cowboy got a bad memory.
24:03Maybe he drank all his coffee up.
24:05I don't know.
24:07But, I'm not stealing nothing.
24:09I don't know why.
24:10Either way, it's fucked up.
24:12Nah.
24:14I don't do that.
24:16I went to grab the bag, I'm fucking gone.
24:18Fucking Tweety gone.
24:19You know, it's like, I said, oh, fuck.
24:21I said, that's when I asked.
24:22I said, yo, man, you getting shit out of my box.
24:24You need something or what?
24:25No, no, no.
24:27This dude's like a master manipulator, you know what I'm saying?
24:29Yeah.
24:30All you gotta do is ask, bro.
24:31Ask.
24:32Never thought anybody would do that.
24:34You know?
24:36And it pisses me off.
24:37And I told the black guys, handle your people.
24:41Deal with it.
24:41Well, I don't like that, bro.
24:43They're talking about pennies to me.
24:44But I'm saying it's the principle.
24:46It's not the principle, bro.
24:46But it's principle.
24:47No, sir.
24:48It's putting me and you in the past while, bro.
24:50That shit will be nice, but we tolerate it.
24:52Once I know something about something, I have to crash it.
24:54I have to hurt it.
24:55I have to.
24:56That's the only way we know how to handle it.
24:58That's it.
24:59Rock, I'm up.
24:59I'm about to play bull, boys.
25:00That's it.
25:02Yeah, but then, then what?
25:06You gonna deal with your race?
25:07If you don't deal with your race,
25:08we gonna deal with your race.
25:09So that's how we usually do it.
25:11But I feel like two different races talking,
25:14that's how it should go.
25:16But man, this is really bothering me, though.
25:17Yeah, it's bothering me.
25:18You form trust within different races.
25:22It's take baby steps.
25:24And it starts somewhere.
25:25So why not start now?
25:27You know?
25:28Hey, real quality meeting you guys.
25:31Hello?
25:32Come on, man.
25:33I wanna get everybody together.
25:35Gotta real quick.
25:39We are doing what we are supposed to be doing.
25:42We still have to conduct ourselves as wrong with fucking men here.
25:46I'm not putting nobody's name out there or anything,
25:48or what race or whatever,
25:49but a person took fucking shit that didn't belong to them.
25:52We don't need that in here.
25:54We don't need that unnecessary frustration
25:56of fucking having to watch our shit.
25:58And I'm tired of hearing about it.
26:00I'm tired of fucking talking about it.
26:02You know?
26:03Before, you know how we dealt with it, man?
26:04We dealt with it with punishment.
26:06You know what I mean?
26:07But we shouldn't have to get down like that.
26:10There's a fucking softer, easier way, man.
26:12That's all I really got to say.
26:14Hey, hey, um, who in 106 besides not you L?
26:19Who's in 106?
26:20You in 106?
26:21You in 106?
26:22I swear to God, bro.
26:26If I catch a motherfucker going in 106, we all got a problem.
26:30I don't give a fuck about race.
26:33If you steal from him, you're stealing from me.
26:37Period.
26:38If I really want to change, if I want to better myself
26:41so it shows when I leave here, I have to make the effort.
26:46And I have to do it the best way I can do it.
26:50The person who got that stuff stolen, I replace that.
26:54I got a pending commissary, you know what I'm saying?
26:57Just to keep shit straight, you know, I paid the debt.
27:01Like, bro, we gonna cover this.
27:04Hey, I'm gonna give you this.
27:05This is debt to shit, bro.
27:07Like, you know what I'm saying?
27:08Let's move on.
27:09I would place that on my mama, bro.
27:11Real shit.
27:12My first time.
27:13I appreciate that, bro.
27:15I appreciate that a lot.
27:15Okay?
27:17You know, Memphis, you know, it was inspirational to me
27:22that two different races can sit there
27:23and we're not having a conversation on, you know,
27:26whether we're going to war.
27:28You know what I mean?
27:28I appreciate you saying that.
27:30I love you, homie.
27:31Yeah.
27:32Yeah, you bet, bro.
27:34Memphis, he was man enough to step up to the problem.
27:37I mean, that's a big deal in jail.
27:41All right.
27:42All right, man.
27:50My name is Justin Alexander.
27:53And, um, you can just call me Memphis.
27:56I'm from Memphis, Tennessee.
27:58I had an upscounding charge.
28:01I left Memphis, Tennessee, and I came out here,
28:03and, uh, I got pulled over, and, um,
28:06they're charging for an unlawful flight.
28:10It gave me two years for it.
28:12I did 18 months here.
28:19When I was staying in Memphis, it was just a lot of negative stuff, and it just really made me
28:26want to get a new start.
28:28I believe everything happens for a reason.
28:30Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
28:32Yeah.
28:32Because if I know if I do better for myself, then people in my corner can benefit from my actions.
28:39I'm not looking at a whole bunch of time.
28:43I just, I'm just tired of doing time.
28:46Just tired of doing time.
28:48Yeah.
28:48To be in this program, and to lead by example, and to be a leader, and, and to say,
28:52well, fuck what other people think, and fuck what they're saying.
28:56I'm going to change for me, and this is what I want to do.
29:00This is just getting me ready to prepare to get out of here.
29:05Um, just fingers crossed right now, you know?
29:10I'm working on my patience.
29:12I'm working on myself.
29:13I'm working on...
29:14You know what I'm saying?
29:14Yeah.
29:15No matter what, I'm just going to make the best out of it.
29:17Yeah, there you go.
29:24So far it seems that these guys are really putting their money where their mouth is,
29:28and they're trying to change.
29:30They're not out of the woods yet, but it's a good start.
29:47Hey guys, I got another posting from the sheriff.
29:59Free pizza?
30:01Yes!
30:10The paperwork's going to be right here on the table.
30:14Thank you, sir.
30:15Each hand we...
30:16Each hand we inmates will be allowed one in-person, non-contact visit from the outside.
30:21Please just, uh, list your preferred visit date and available times on the sign-up sheets.
30:25Uh, this is crazy!
30:28This is fucking great.
30:30Yeah, like Christ, man.
30:32That's amazing!
30:37Yeah, dude.
30:39Yeah, no, this is fucking amazing.
30:41Well, fuck, I need to make a phone call.
30:44Talk to the old lady.
30:45It's just such a gift, you know, for somebody who's incarcerated,
30:50to let people see their loved ones.
30:52It just amazes me that, you know, they can give these privileges.
30:56But I learned a long time ago that nothing's written in stone here.
30:59This is something big.
31:01You know, it's never...
31:01They've never been able to do this in, like, 11 years.
31:05It's unheard of.
31:06And I want to take advantage of it.
31:07So, yeah, I'm going to try it.
31:10I don't know if I need you.
31:12I don't know if I need you.
31:13This is my yellow one.
31:14Crystal.
31:15What are you chewing?
31:17Oh, no.
31:18Look, I got some amazing ones.
31:20What?
31:21Okay, so the sheriff just posted on here that they're going to allow a non-contact visit.
31:29What do you mean?
31:30For me?
31:31Yeah.
31:32With my wife, Crystal, we're split up, you know, for 11, 11 fucking years.
31:38You know, I haven't seen my daughter since she was fucking six years old,
31:41which is horrible because I've been in prison, jail, or fucking on my way back, you know?
31:45Fucking, are you guys going to come or what?
31:49Yeah.
31:50Then are you going to bring the girls?
31:53I'm going to bring Keely.
32:11Just the fact that she's willing to come and do this visit and bring my daughter with,
32:17for somebody that we're split up.
32:20That's fucking amazing.
32:21The fact that she's putting in that effort for me, I'm very thankful for it.
32:26Our lives are changing.
32:27We're changing.
32:28Everything's changing.
32:29Yeah.
32:31Who are you going to have busy going?
32:33Well, I call him Crystal.
32:35Isn't she in fucking Oregon?
32:36Illinois.
32:37Illinois?
32:38Yeah.
32:38I'm fucking...
32:39Yeah, I'm really emotional.
32:41I started crying when I told the chick to keep crying about you.
32:43I'm fucking so happy.
32:45That's good.
32:46Like I said, I don't like to cry in the shower like a man, you know?
32:49And, like, I'm fucking starting crying.
32:51The last time I cried in jail was when I was watching Finding Dory.
32:55Like...
33:18The experiment is now in its sixth and final week, and it's the first day of visitation.
33:23Half of the HPOD inmates are preparing to see their loved ones in person, while the others
33:29wait patiently for their turn behind the glass.
33:32All right.
33:33Getting ready.
33:34Yeah.
33:34For the day.
33:35Feel good.
33:37Who's coming today, bro?
33:38Who's coming to see you?
33:39My son.
33:40Who are you coming out here for?
33:40Your son?
33:41Yeah.
33:41Your one and only?
33:42My one and only son.
33:43Yeah.
33:44So that's cool that you get to see him.
33:46He's making his time to come see you, bro.
33:49That's tight.
33:50How long, how long has it been?
33:51It's been...
33:53It's been a little minute.
33:54Damn, bro.
33:55It's been about a year.
33:58He's 18.
34:00Just turned 18, and...
34:01I hate just not knowing, just wondering what he's out there doing.
34:07Time to take.
34:08It's that time, dog.
34:10They're gonna come still here in a second.
34:12Today is visit day.
34:13First visit day.
34:14I got the first visit.
34:16My mom's coming to miss me.
34:21All right.
34:22That's fine.
34:24Let me see you, bro.
34:26I am anxious.
34:27I am nervous.
34:28I'm ready to go.
34:29I'm excited to see her.
34:30I have all these mixed emotions right now.
34:44With my mom, we've been through a lot of rough times together.
34:48I got arrested the day before her birthday.
34:52And it killed me to call from the jail and say,
34:54Hey, you know, I'm in jail.
34:57I got you a birthday present,
34:58but you have to go look for it in my room somewhere.
35:01And I should have been there.
35:08No way.
35:10Oh, honey.
35:14Hi.
35:15Hi.
35:16Oh, honey.
35:17I love you so much.
35:18I missed you, baby.
35:20It's okay, mom.
35:21It's okay.
35:22I love you.
35:24I'm so glad you made it, Cam.
35:25Me too.
35:26I hope you seem to be good.
35:28I will.
35:29I haven't seen my middle sister in 10 years, maybe.
35:34Look at your nails.
35:35I love them.
35:37But in prison, she messaged me back, so she's a super important person in my life.
35:42You're looking buff?
35:42It's just a small shirt.
35:45He looks good.
35:46He looks healthy.
35:47He looks so good.
35:47You know, when he came in here, he was so skinny.
35:50The sheriff is all about family or...
35:54Yeah.
35:54Family reunification.
35:56Yeah.
35:56Yeah.
35:57So...
35:57I think that's cool.
35:59Yeah.
36:00I mean, if he made this possible...
36:02Yeah.
36:02He comes in and, like, talks to us every couple weeks, and all the fucking lieutenants come
36:06in and...
36:07Really?
36:07Yeah.
36:07And he's like, oh, well, tell us what we need to fix or whatever, you know?
36:11You guys should get together and make him a thank you card.
36:13Yeah.
36:14Right?
36:15I wish more jails would do this.
36:17I wish more reentry programs would do this in general.
36:21Because, like, it's very unique.
36:23It's very positive.
36:25I'm grateful for this program.
36:26I don't know about you, but I am super grateful for this.
36:29Yeah.
36:29Me too.
36:30And I want him to learn something from this.
36:34I love you, baby.
36:35I love you too, Mom.
36:36I love you, camera.
36:36I love you.
36:37I'm so glad I got to see you.
36:38Behave yourself.
36:39I will.
36:41I love you.
36:44Out's work.
36:45105, 103, out's work.
36:47Hold up, Jimmy.
36:53Alderete!
36:57I cannot wait.
36:58You know, now I'm getting butterflies in my stomach.
37:00You know what I mean?
37:01Because it's like, it's just a visit.
37:02But you know what?
37:03It's just a visit.
37:06Okay, see?
37:07Oh, my God.
37:14Fuck this glass.
37:16Let me get this.
37:21My anger?
37:24That's what scares me.
37:25You take care of yourself.
37:27It'll be okay.
37:33You take care of yourself.
37:55The solidarity of the visiting room.
37:58And no distractions.
38:00And it's just me and her.
38:02And it's something we'll never forget ever.
38:04Ever.
38:04It's important to me that everything we do from now on is ours.
38:08You know, we'll be able to do the things that we haven't been able to do because, number
38:14one, I was spending all of our money on cocaine.
38:16And number two, you know, you were upset with me because I'm going to fuck up, you know.
38:23Being a gangster, thug, fucking idiot that I thought that I was, I'm not that anymore.
38:29This is over, you know.
38:34I don't want to take, you know.
38:36Really?
38:37Really, really?
38:37I do.
38:38I do.
38:39I do believe that.
38:40In my stomach, you know.
38:42You need different friends.
38:44100%.
38:46It's all about you and our son.
38:49We'll do things as a family, you know.
38:51I mean, fuck, I can't wait to take and go fucking camping.
38:55Just go, just drive out to fucking, to Flagstaff and find a spot in the woods and just get
39:00our shit together.
39:01We get, we get things moving in the right direction.
39:04We're not going to Flagstaff.
39:09Baby, you're crazy.
39:10I love you so much.
39:12He's definitely, uh, the Ronnie that I fell in love with.
39:17So, um, and, um, because things weren't going good out there, you know.
39:21Him being clean is, is, has been a blessing.
39:25I love you.
39:27I love you more.
39:28No, you can't.
39:30My head's bigger.
39:31Your head's bigger.
39:33The program, um, it's been good.
39:35Like, he's, he's, um, seeing, you know, that there's more to life than, than how he was living.
39:43Wish I could just take him home right now, you know.
40:08I got to see my wife.
40:10Yeah.
40:11I got to see her.
40:11I was happy.
40:15How's it been?
40:15It was, it was awesome.
40:19I mean, I, I wasn't, I didn't have a watch on, but it, it seemed like a lot longer and
40:23a half an hour to me.
40:24I mean, uh.
40:28That magical moment of just being able to be on the other side of the glass is just so important
40:33to us.
40:35And it wouldn't be a part of it if I wasn't a part of this program.
40:37Yeah.
40:54Hurry up.
40:57Hurry up.
41:06I'm still waiting for my son.
41:08I don't know what's taking him so long.
41:15Hope all is well.
41:21How'd it go, bro?
41:22Perfect.
41:23Yeah.
41:24I'm good.
41:31I kind of got antsy to call my son to see where he was at.
41:44So, mama, this is for you.
41:47Thank you, buddy.
41:58I feel bad for the guy.
41:59I think he got stood up.
42:03I would be very fucking upset.
42:09A lot of us don't get to see these people, so it's very important to a lot of us.
42:17Visitation, family contact has great benefits, but there also are trepidations.
42:22You can have family dynamics where the person that was supposed to visit them never shows up,
42:26which can cause stresses for the entire family.
42:29Two more.
42:31What the fuck, bro?
42:34Yeah, you fucked up there.
42:36Three and a nine.
42:37I'll do it.
42:37I'll do nines.
42:38I do nines all the time.
42:41You know, I've kind of been having some ups and downs.
42:44Two, four.
42:45My son.
42:45I thought about my son.
42:47Nine again.
42:47Three.
42:48I thought about my son.
42:50I was kind of upset.
42:54Act right.
42:55Act right.
42:56Two.
42:58Two, three.
42:59Two, four, bro.
43:00Two, three, bro.
43:01Two, four, I'm not playing both.
43:02I'm not playing either.
43:03I have to go with Marty up.
43:04There's been multiple times where he's been trying to take advantage of me on the table.
43:07The way he was speaking to me, the way his energy was coming out.
43:14So, like, it really pissed me off.
43:21He was trying to, like, he was trying to lie about something.
43:24I'm not the one to get pushed over.
43:25I'm not checking out.
43:27I just got two more going right now.
43:29I'm just getting the piss.
43:33What you want to do, homie?
43:34What the fuck, homie?
43:36You don't want none of this, homie?
43:38What the fuck, homie?
43:39Come on, homie.
43:40I'm fucking doing too much.
43:40You're doing too much, homie.
43:42I'm fucking doing too much.
43:42You're doing too much, homie.
43:45I'm fucking doing too much.
43:46Hey, look.
43:47Hey, come on.
43:55Hey, come on.
44:05It's stupidity.
44:06It's idiotic.
44:07And you got kids and family, like, yeah, I'm in here fighting over a noodle.
44:11Like, what are you doing?
44:13Hey, come on.
44:15Hey, come on.
44:16Hey.
44:17Hey.
44:18Hey, come on.
44:19Hey, come on.
44:21Hey, come on.
44:24My blood runs cold.
44:32The devil you know.
44:34My blood runs cold.
