00:15I was playing blackjack, bro. You think I would've been a dealer?
00:20F*** you, bitch!
00:21I'm like, f***ing spit on you.
00:23Hey.
00:24No, I don't care. Hey, hey, what?
00:26I'll spit on you. Turn the f*** up.
00:28You stupid-ass w***, bitch!
00:30You stupid-ass w***, bitch!
00:31Shut the f*** up and get away from me!
00:34I don't know.
00:34I was just kidding.
00:36No, you're right.
00:36You just said that you were gonna spit, so now...
00:38No! So I started to lift your hand.
00:40Alright, set up.
00:42I'm gonna grab this and grab it.
00:45So she tried to steal a chip from the table,
00:47and security addressed it, and then she attacked security guards.
00:50She turned around and said, I'm like, I spit on you guys.
00:52I'm f*** you.
00:541165.
00:54The classic, come on vacation, leave on probation.
00:59Stop it, bitch!
01:01No!
01:05There are over 3,000 jails in the U.S., detaining over half a million.
01:10Each one, a world of its own.
01:14Running a jail is tough.
01:16Surviving inside is tougher.
01:18Hit him with the thunder!
01:20Let's go, let's go!
01:21For 120 hours, five days, our cameras are inside.
01:25Stop it now.
01:27Capturing the officers, inmates, and moments that define life behind bars.
01:34I'll be home soon, alright?
01:35Pass me off!
01:35Get back!
01:38Go!
01:40Yeah!
01:44Washoe County, Nevada.
01:45Home to Reno.
01:47The biggest little city in the world.
01:49Casinos.
01:50Tourism.
01:51Around the clock entertainment.
01:54It's a very high traffic area, because you can jump off of I-80,
01:59and then you're right in the middle of Reno's downtown.
02:04For decades, organized crime has used Washoe County as a major trafficking route.
02:09In recent years, that activity has intensified.
02:14Seated along the I-80 corridor, a major east-west freeway cutting across the United States.
02:21You kind of see everything.
02:23Drugs, money, human trafficking, sex trafficking.
02:26So, I mean, if you name it, it's been seen coming through on the corridor.
02:32Fifteen minutes north of downtown Reno, sits the Washoe County Jail,
02:37home to one of the largest jails in the state, second only to Las Vegas.
02:42Following in his father's footsteps, Sheriff Darren Balaam begins his day.
02:49My favorite one?
02:50Okay.
02:52That's my wife and I, and then my dad and my father-in-law.
02:55We are second-generation law enforcement.
02:58My wife's since retired, but I'm on my 31st year.
03:02She did 20 years.
03:03Her dad did 30-plus.
03:05My dad did 30-plus.
03:06So, it's been ingrained in us.
03:20What's happening?
03:21You doing good?
03:22Yeah, I'm doing great.
03:23Good.
03:23You are starting to be so bad right now.
03:27Stop.
03:29This is the only jail for Washoe County.
03:32So, none through the year, and we've booked 13,000-plus.
03:36So, we'll probably hit, by December, close to 15.
03:39Demo, what are you doing?
03:41How's it going?
03:42Cook, what's up?
03:43How are you today?
03:44You guys were busy.
03:45Yeah.
03:46How many people have we had come in today?
03:48We are at, I think we're at 30.
03:52We just got six going back.
03:54We have a few more that just maybe seem medical.
03:55They'll be going back.
03:56Nice.
03:57So, we'll clear that board for the end of the night.
04:00Yeah.
04:01People don't realize how massive our facility is.
04:06There's 16 units, so there's a lot of square footage to cover.
04:10We can house up to almost 1,350 inmates, but when we hit about 1,200 where we're at now,
04:17we say we're at capacity because you have so many wide varieties of gangs in the Washoe
04:24County area that we have to separate them because what happens on the street will roll
04:28into our jail.
04:32Fueled by Reno's 24-7 nightlife, the Washoe County Jail processes a high volume of DUIs
04:39and misdemeanors.
04:40Ow!
04:41But combating gang activity inside the facility is the jail's number one challenge.
04:47You have MS-13, Sereno gangs, Norteno gangs.
04:51You have the Hells Angels, the Mongols, and the Russia Mafia.
04:55Separating those inmates is a definite challenge all the time.
05:00We have a gentleman that just got booked in for the fifth time this year.
05:05He is a validated Sereno, but that's a good portion of the people that are in our facility.
05:12Unfortunately, that's just the reality.
05:15The Serenos, also known as Southerners, are a Southern California-based gang known for
05:21their strict hierarchy and violent rivalries.
05:24And wherever they operate, their longstanding feud with the Norteños follows.
05:30Norteños are an immediate gang rival.
05:33If a Sereno, an active Sereno, sees a Norteño, they will almost immediately or most likely
05:40attack them.
05:42In the Washoe County Jail, 75% of fights are gang-related.
05:46To reduce risk, gang classification and separating rivals before housing is critical to inmate and
05:53deputy safety.
05:54We're looking at their hands.
05:56We're looking at around their face if they have any insignia of gang affiliation so that
06:01these individuals are housed appropriately.
06:06Last year, the jail recorded 86 inmate fights and 26 batteries on staff.
06:12To maintain control, deputies enforce strict paramilitary rules under the sheriff's authority.
06:26Go ahead.
06:26Keep going.
06:27You're working.
06:29We run a very tight facility here.
06:32We are big on our security.
06:34Sir, turn and face the wall.
06:36When you walk through the halls, make them turn around.
06:39We set rules for a reason.
06:41It's not to be mean to the inmates.
06:43It's for their safety and our safety.
06:44And if they want to attack you, their body has to change and turn.
06:48So you hopefully will see that attack coming.
06:50You see these red lines.
06:52When they send inmates out, they know and they're always told, stop at the red lines.
06:56And so that's just, again, a safety for them, safety for our deputies.
07:00We're big on making sure that we all go home to work and we go home safe.
07:05That is the key.
07:06Bye, you guys.
07:07Bye.
07:08Hey, you too.
07:09Have a good weekend.
07:12Come on, my team.
07:14Tens for the check.
07:15Come on, come on, deputies.
07:16Come on, we and Grisha, the mayor.
07:18This fine gentleman peed under the door, telling him that that's disgusting.
07:23Oh, God.
07:24Do you have any shoulder problems?
07:25Yes, yes, yes.
07:28It hurt.
07:29In intake, more arrests pour in as booking operations continue without pause.
07:35She was spitting while she was interacting with Reno Police Department.
07:40So she put a spit hood on.
07:43Please don't do this to me.
07:45Please.
07:47Please.
07:49I don't do anything wrong.
07:5119-year-old first-time inmate Gianna Myers makes a phone call.
08:07I think she's just going to be shocked.
08:09I don't think she'll be mad at me because I didn't really, like, do anything wrong to an extent, you
08:14know what I mean?
08:14But I think she's kind of going to be like, what?
08:17Like, I don't even know.
08:19It's crazy.
08:22I'm 19, I've never been, like, arrested for anything or even, like, on a ticket.
08:28But I tried into a little bit of a fight and I was arrested for battery.
08:41No calls for me, I guess.
08:43No calls for me, I guess.
08:49You seem a little nervous.
08:51Yeah, I don't know, like, I feel like I'm a pretty good person.
08:55I wouldn't have expected myself to be in this, like, situation.
09:00So, I don't know.
09:01It's definitely interesting, like, the jail socks.
09:04But.
09:08Have you been able to make the phone call?
09:10Um, yeah, I didn't go through.
09:12Oh, okay.
09:13But you were able to make the four digit pen and everything?
09:16Okay, just hang in there.
09:18Okay, keep listening for your name.
09:21With our first timers, when you've never been here before, it's a lot to take in.
09:25From the moment they come into the port where they're getting searched and we're doing an inventory search, I explain
09:31why.
09:31Like, why are you touching me that way?
09:33Like, this is weird.
09:34I do it because that's how I would want to be treated.
09:37If I came into custody and I wasn't in this position, you're going in blind.
09:42It's just like sending a kindergartner off to a sixth grade class.
09:46Like, they're not going to know anything.
09:47They're not going to know what it's like.
09:49It's scary.
09:50Immediately, there's people, oh, there's murderers here.
09:53They are, but they're held to the same expectation.
09:56If they don't behave, if they're disrespectful, you don't need to know what that guy sitting over there is here
10:02for.
10:03They're getting through the process just like you.
10:06If it's a buyer?
10:08They don't care.
10:09I don't care where you can study.
10:11Well.
10:12You lost in a little barrier.
10:13Can I see my papers on the white chair?
10:15You're on the black on your face?
10:17My face is wood.
10:20Take your right hand, just over your hand and put it back.
10:23Tell me about the only other trouble you've ever been in.
10:26This is the only other trouble.
10:28Well, I got like a ticket one time this earlier this summer for not having a life vest on my
10:35paddleboard.
10:37But I kind of forgot about it.
10:40I don't know, because it's so minor.
10:43Perfect. You can go ahead and have a seat. Thank you.
10:50What do you know about this place?
10:53Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.
10:56Because we can't keep you out here for an extended period of time, while the judge is reviewing your charges
11:01in the report, you'll probably have to end up going to female housing.
11:05We'll go over that and what that looks like, but you'll probably have a cellmate.
11:11Giana prepares to move into a female unit, where she will be housed until her case processes.
11:33Unit 16. The men's pod.
11:35Houses 144 inmates and a mix of gang affiliations, including Serenios and Bloods.
11:43Groups that are known to coexist without conflict inside the jail.
11:46Another day being locked down, you kind of get used to the cell living in a way, though.
11:50You get comfortable being in here, and that's just the way it is.
11:53It helps you on your routine.
11:55In here, it's .
11:57But, I mean, mainly it's because we don't follow the rules, but in general, the rules are kind of petty,
12:04right?
12:04We can't have more than two toothbrushes or we get write-ups.
12:11Officers are preparing for a recreation period sometimes known as Thunderdome.
12:17All 144 inmates are released at the same time.
12:22The three officers on duty are severely outnumbered and must maintain strict control.
12:27So we're just going to pop every door and then have them stand by their door until they're quiet.
12:30And then when they're quiet, we admonish them, and then they enjoy their tear.
12:33And then usually in five minutes, they lose 15 minutes.
12:35Because how loud and obnoxious they get, you can hear it all the way down the hallway,
12:39through these glass doors and through the gorilla door at the end of the hall if you don't keep them
12:42quiet.
12:42You want to turn that TV down?
12:44You're going to hear a verbal articulation before you're going to see a physical one.
12:48So if we can hear two guys yelling across the day room, we'll be able to tell if they're going
12:51to fight before it actually happens.
12:54Ready?
12:55Yeah, I see it.
13:08All right, gentlemen, you guys know our rules.
13:10If you are allowed, we will lock you down.
13:12Stay seated in the day room.
13:13Enjoy your tear.
13:21Here, I got scored.
13:23Who's all playing?
13:24Yeah, play too.
13:25Here, we go.
13:26Oh!
13:26That was cute.
13:28I'm telling you, you are set, bro.
13:30You're not playing Pinoca, you're not playing the game.
13:32He comes to it.
13:33Yeah, that's what he's saying.
13:34Jayup, this is where mastery is.
13:37Yeah, for sure.
13:42so this is a thunder dome there's 144 tops in here so so it does get loud
13:50they say where the loudest if the sergeant can hear us way down there yeah
13:59due to a heavy sereno presence and the intermingling of other gangs
14:03jail politics rule daily life inside the unit race and gang affiliations dictate where inmates
14:10sit who they associate with and can determine who is protected and who is exposed these rules
14:17are in effect for a reason to kind of keep the peace issues always happen here and there
14:23which sometimes pops off but it's nothing that we can't settle ourselves let's say a white dude has
14:33a problem with the serenity right whoever the shop callers are will come together and then talk
14:38about like hey there's an issue with this can we resolve it to where it doesn't escalate into a
14:44problem for everybody cops include
14:50i'm not going to tell you again sit down yes you have a problem sitting down there i said that
14:57okay wait keep staring at me don't get a mad dog
15:14now we locked down now we'll get that tomorrow
15:35we have security checks that we have to do every 30 minutes in the housing unit so in the
15:47what i didn't mess anything up you got to talk to the women in this housing unit that are doing
15:52it
15:54this housing unit that we're in houses all of the females in the jail there are 56 cells and right
16:02now i have 125 women as the jail's only female general population unit inmates are housed three to a cell
16:13heightening stress and the potential for conflict ladies hi how are we doing pretty crap it's hard not
16:22to get in each other's way but you know we do okay we make it work without killing each other
16:28some of the girls have been here a long time so i know them you know sometimes they'll give you
16:36a joke
16:37or laugh while you're walking around which is which makes light of their situation and then us having
16:43to great lock and then us having to obviously do our detention part of it
16:51with male housing there are more gang issues like the sereno issue with female housing it's more of a
16:57bullying type thing than it is uh politicking there's a lot of this person smells this person's not clean
17:04that's their way of doing it they're more sneaky about it are you two in here screaming okay okay we
17:13have women that are detoxing we have women that are in here for the first time we have women that
17:17are
17:18convicts that have been to prison they come back and then we have women that are pregnant

22:13so you're going to be in the cell by yourself
22:19did she hit you while you were in there
22:25if someone's strong-arming you to do something you need to hit your button and say something okay
22:29because that's not okay as a deputy you're always thinking security issue but a lot of it is how
22:34you treat them they're still people why that doesn't make me lax i mean if you're gonna you know
22:40punch your ticket you're gonna ride the ride if you're gonna get asked up then i'll meet you there
22:44but for the most part i'm not going to push somebody if they don't need to be
22:57we are going in to check on miss gianna
23:01deputy smith checks in on first-time inmate gianna myers after her first night in custody
23:09she's just laying there staring at the ceiling she has a new cellmate so that is one thing with the
23:18people that are coming in and out of intake your cellmates will change very frequently and you
23:24got along with one person just fine and then the new person is detoxing off of fentanyl like
23:30absolutely miserable out of her mind throwing up so it's very difficult to be in these cells
23:36you have to share a very confined space most people don't want to do that with their family
23:41members let alone a complete stranger so good morning not yet how are you i'm good how about
23:51yourself how's your stay it was all right it was all right yeah i don't know the first half was
23:59all
23:59right the second half i was like let me out of here you don't like it you're not supposed to
24:05like
24:05like i took like a nap yesterday and then i woke up and i thought it was a lot later
24:10and then i
24:10thought it was like five minutes the time goes by very slow yeah you just got to keep your mind
24:16busy you have a book okay what did what happened at court um i didn't go there but they like
24:22gave me
24:22a paper saying i have to come back next week or sometime sometime around then probably have to check
24:27in yeah i'm assuming what the judge did is he reviewed your report and it wasn't necessary for you to
24:32go
24:32to the zoom appearance here in the facility but as soon as we get word that you're getting released
24:39i'll come and get you okay all right we'll be back soon okay
24:54in intake deputies classify an arrestee with gang affiliations and work quickly to assess housing
25:01options to reduce the risk of conflict what do you want see a week
25:11when they come in they get asked questions such as who do they used to affiliate with
25:15because this is mainly a serenio jail and so if they're northerners they're usually separated
25:20at least initially until classification can talk to them and put them in a safe housing unit
25:36so with that he can't be around any active gang members just for his safety
25:55in the women's unit five months pregnant amanda rodriguez navigates daily life behind bars while
26:03awaiting her case pregnancy sucks because it does especially in here she's going to put on birth
26:11control thanks to me yeah i'm good if i have to be here i'm picking the officer that's going to
26:17be
26:17cutting my child's umbilical cord so i have two chosen so depending which one actually gets
26:23to be there one doesn't have any kids and this will be her form of birth control
26:28she said because i have all c-sections so she will be experiencing all my intestines outside of my stomach
26:39and i promised i was going to get none of them for child support
26:44the offices not the dad
26:48i'm kidding i just want to make sure the baby's healthy
26:52this is why you don't come to jail but i don't know why it's something that keeps
26:59keep coming back to you but it's too old for this
27:12and then i'm holding true yeah all right all the way
27:19in central command officers receive a report of inappropriate comments made by inmate workers about
27:26deputy smith sergeant franchak interrogates the inmate workers to determine whether disciplinary action is
27:33warranted which one of you must disrespect my female deputies i am not going to tolerate my
27:39deputies being disrespected the way you just have this is one and one only chance that i'm going to

27:51the
27:51kitchen workforce in washoe county is a privileged position workers are housed separately and receive

37:3240 years to
37:32learn this is a question that i don't know but this time i've learned this is not it if it's
37:41the end
37:41of your life you get older and you think about what happened where you've been and like what you
37:45accomplished you get no rewards being here but i will take being here as a lesson and if i could
37:53benefit from that alone i will be okay with it as long as my kids never end up in the
37:57system
38:03hi cruz how are you just all right hang in there lady
38:10i can't save anybody at the end of the day most of the people in here are adults like you
38:15have to
38:16make this decision like i can have those conversations with people but out of the 20
38:22conversations if two of them take it to heart because we talked about it and they're like yeah
38:28i'm going to change my life and it was just that conversation that got them to that point
38:32then i've i've done my job so that's what i'm here for for me i just i love this profession
38:43it's
38:43probably one of the greatest professions ever because there's two sides of it there's going out
38:50and catching bad people but there's also the other side which is the service side and that's making
38:55a difference and that's just as important as going out and making sure that everybody's safe
38:59so i gotta ask three things that affect inmates in here to your time absolutely food and ability
39:10to communicate outside right correct anything else medical care medical i'm high-risk pregnancy um okay
