00:10Where's it at?
00:12.

00:14.
00:19Yeah, he's back.
00:22.
00:22.
00:22.
00:24.
00:35This is the norm.
00:39But this is what we deal with every day.
00:43There are over 3,000 jails in the US, detaining over half a million.
00:48Each one, a world of its own.
00:51Running a jail is tough.
00:54Surviving inside is tougher.
00:56.

01:05Capturing the officers, inmates, and moments that define life behind bars.
01:12I'll be home soon, all right?
01:21Atlanta, Georgia. A boom town.
01:25Its rising population and escalating crime rates are creating serious challenges for the neighboring Clayton County Jail.
01:36In just 14 months, two brutal homicides, making this one of the most violent jails in the nation.
01:49I'd have been jumped everywhere I've been, stabbed.
01:53I ain't in hell, bro. I just want to do something.
02:00Thank you, everybody, for coming to work today.
02:02You know the normal procedures, head count, check everybody's faces, enter every cell.
02:07Make sure you watch your backs. Make sure you watch your partner's back.
02:12It's the start of the morning shift, and the corrections officers are receiving their daily briefing.
02:18Everybody should understand what to do in emergency situations.
02:22Do not panic.
02:24Take your time. Take a deep breath.
02:26If you need help, we got you.
02:29You're going to stay strong as a unit, as a team.
02:33All right?
02:35Everybody can fall out.
02:39Clay 51 to all day watch officers.
02:42Multipurpose room should be clear.
02:43Your yard should be clear.
02:44All inmates should be locked down at this point.
02:48Officer Tawana Smith begins her rounds, carrying out head count in Unit 7.
02:55I was in Unit 7.
02:56It's going to be advised, head count in progress, Officer Smith.
02:59Come on.
03:02Hello, fellas. How you doing?
03:04Good.
03:04I'm going to work out of here today.
03:07Corrections is always going to be stressful.
03:08It's never going to get to a point where it's just a cupcake campus.
03:13Come on, boy.
03:14Come on over there.
03:14Come on.
03:15I don't think I have a partner today, because we are short-staffed.
03:20Hello.
03:22How you doing?
03:24Back up for me.
03:25Let me get her. Come in.
03:26I want to come in.
03:27Let me in.
03:28We look at over 200 inmates for about 10 to 12 hours a day.
03:33And that does not change.
03:35It does not change.
03:37No.
03:40Almost done.
03:43Being a female officer in a correctional setting, I call that my superpower.
03:48Come back up here.
03:49Where you belong at?
03:51In fact, how y'all doing?
03:52Oh, we need to clean up in here.
03:54Yeah, yeah.
03:55Yeah, yeah.
03:57Just stand right over there for me.
03:59Okay?
04:00Because when you look at me, I already don't appear to be a threat to you.
04:05Don't I give you free time every day?
04:07Yes.
04:08Yes, you do.
04:08Yes.
04:09So it makes it easier to talk to me.
04:13That's the idiot, Miss Smith.
04:15Y'all all right?
04:16Y'all ain't right.
04:17We got Miss Smith in the business.
04:18They're normal people.
04:20They just like me and you.
04:21And you may have a person that may come in here, and they may have a DUI, but they may
04:25have a home, a wife, children, a good job.
04:28They just made a mistake that particular day and had just a little bit too much wine, you
04:33know?
04:33And now they're locked up.
04:34We're just smiling so hard for today.
04:40I mean, I could get arrested.
04:41I could be driving, and I have my driver's license on me and be arrested.
04:45And I've been at this for 25 years.
04:49And is it possible I could be in the bathroom or my toilet, Miss Smith?
04:52What's going on?
04:53It's leaking under the bed or lying from that wall to this wall?
04:57From that wall.
04:58What's going on in here?
05:00My toilet don't work.
05:01I know.
05:02I put in an email for it, so hopefully it'll be over here.
05:04I'm not going to the camera.
05:0695% of our problems come from the broken facility, the toilets, the sinks, not able just to go
05:13and get a cup of water, cold showers, showers, missing doors.
05:17They're going to get frustrated with each other, and they're going to fight.
05:21But it's not a matter of if.
05:23It's just a matter of when.
05:24But it's going to take place.
05:32Built over 25 years ago, the jail's capacity is 1,535.
05:39What are you paying, sir?
05:40What are you paying, sir?
05:41But today, it houses over 2,000 detainees across eight housing units.
05:50In Housing Unit 7, nearly 80% of the inmate population is awaiting trial.
05:59The court years is two years back, though, and people have just been sitting in here.
06:03My homeboy right here has been four years locked up here, and they keep canceling his court date
06:07because they don't got no translator.
06:08We are all overcrowded in here.
06:10People coming in and people not coming out.
06:15Inmate Milton Davies agrees to give a firsthand tour of daily life on the inside.
06:20This toilet is right here.
06:22It floods everywhere.
06:24This do not work.
06:26This don't work here.
06:28It don't work.
06:29This right here, the drain pot, it floods every two days.
06:33Feces on the floor and urine are everywhere in here.
06:36That's not water.
06:38It's urine coming from under the toilet.
06:41You cannot test the toilet, Peter.
06:43The site do not work.
06:44They be in the room 24 hours with no water.
06:49Immune health dude was in this cell right here.
06:52They've been up there like six months.
06:55There's feces on the wall right there.
06:58It smells like mold in this room because there ain't no air coming out of this ventilation system right here.
07:03It's supposed to be a microphone.
07:05What do we get in touch with them?
07:07You see the water coming down the wall.
07:08So what's the call box for?
07:10For fights?
07:11For murder.
07:12Yeah.
07:12For medical emergency.
07:14If somebody in need in this bridge.
07:16So what happens if you're in trouble in the cell?
07:18How do you get help?
07:20Inmate depend on inmate.
07:24This is the most unsafe jail in Georgia right now, Clayton County.
07:29They have multiple murders.
07:31It's worse than in prison in here.
07:33The crime-ridden streets of Atlanta and Clayton County fuel the deadly conflicts behind the jail's walls.
07:42With over 150 gangs from across the Atlanta metro area housed inside the facility, keeping them separated and preventing gang
07:51warfare from erupting is a daily battle.
07:57It's infested with gang members.
07:59You be in your own sleep, they wake you up out of your sleep, stabbing you, busting you with armed
08:04pipes.
08:05But I'm a gang member.
08:06Like, I'm not scared, period.
08:08But for the inmates that's never been locked up before, they're terrified.
08:13They put a bullet in this right here because dudes were going inside the drain pipes.
08:17They were making shames.
08:19They had another dude come down here.
08:21Well, he got hit with a machete and half his lid were gone.
08:25Multiple inmates have been stabbed to death in this jail.
08:32While the inmate-to-officer ratio across the nation is 4-to-1, here in Clayton County, officers are outnumbered
08:39100-to-1.
08:42With officers stretched thin, the jail enforces strict paramilitary-style discipline to maintain control.
08:51Left, your left.
08:53Hey!
08:54Left, right, your left.
08:56You got it!
08:57Left, your left.
08:58In the south wing of the Clayton County Jail, Deputy Rolax, a training coordinator, and his officers prepare to execute
09:06a shakedown searching for contraband.
09:08Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump it up!
09:12Originally, I went to the Marine Corps.
09:15And after the Marine Corps, I wanted to be a teacher.
09:18And I was a teacher for a while.
09:20Then the news of white cops killing black people really stuck with me.
09:25And I said, hey, I have the background, I have the education, I can go and make a difference.
09:31So I went to the police academy, and then I found Clayton County to be the place that I wanted
09:37to be.
09:44Game plan.
09:45How's it going to go in?
09:47Do what we got to do?
09:48Find what we can find.
09:50Get out.
09:51On three.
09:52On three.
09:53One, two, three.
09:58On the wall!
10:00On the wall!
10:02On the wall!
10:05On the wall!
10:07Let's go!
10:12Get up!
10:15On the wall!
10:16On the wall!
10:19Go!
10:26This is a shakedown, so we're looking for drugs, we're looking for shanks.
10:32When you're doing these sort of things, you want to think like a criminal.
10:35Where would I hide stuff?
10:37Where could I hide stuff?
10:41If we have a broken mat, always step on them, see if I feel anything hard.
10:53And these are wicks.
10:55They use tissue, and they put some sort of chemicals on it and burn it, and this is how
11:01they get high.
11:02Here's an example, here's an example of them taking a tissue, rolling it up, putting chemicals
11:11on it and that light on it.
11:14In jail, a fire can turn deadly in minutes.
11:18Inmates locked behind steel doors with no way out can suffocate from smoke inhalation
11:23long before the flames even reach them.
11:26It's not just the fire that's deadly.
11:28It's being trapped with no escape.
11:32They're usually pissed when I'm done.
11:35We don't want to mess it up too bad.
11:38There's something in here.
11:45This is death right here.
11:50They're making shanks because they're trying to protect themselves or they're trying to harm
11:56someone else.
11:59That hit in the right spot is over with for them.
12:02I would be afraid of my life in jail.
12:09I would probably look for something like this if I were to get incarcerated just for protection.
12:17Deputy Rolax and his officers conduct a shakedown, confiscating a lethal weapon before it can
12:23be used.
12:25check here.
12:27Hold on.
12:29Oh, yeah.
12:31Another one.
12:34Another shake.
12:36The side of the toilet.
12:40Not really sure what this comes from, but they trim these down and this is pretty sticky.
12:51You see, stick things in the side here, stuff like this, to keep the door from being closed,
12:59so they come out and hurt whoever they want to.
13:02It's still like the streets.
13:04They're just housed together.
13:06Like, it's still the streets.
13:08Fighting, stabbing.
13:09It's a lot that happens here.
13:11It's a war zone.
13:17Oh!
13:18Find something else?
13:20Yep.
13:20Find something?
13:21Found some more.
13:27Two more.
13:28Where'd you find them?
13:29Toilet.
13:30Well, the sink.
13:33They've broken this.
13:37And they wonder why things don't work in here.
13:39They're calling their loved ones, saying their toilets aren't working, sinks aren't working,
13:46because they're breaking them like this, and hiding stuff like this and making stuff like
13:50this out of them.
13:51I'm about to tell you everything.
13:53Come, sit, visitation, all that.
13:55Look at this.
13:56Look at this.
13:57This is crazy.
14:00The seized items will be turned over to a commanding officer, who will launch an investigation
14:04into the contraband discovered.
14:07My goal, when I do this, is to find stuff like this so that we can save someone's life.
14:14Someone can live another day.
14:16And not only the inmates, but also us when we come in.
14:20Because technically they allow us to go home.
14:23Every night they allow us.
14:24It's more of them than it is us.
14:27Unfortunately, we haven't found every sink that's been made.
14:30And that's part of the game.
14:40Clayton, one center and take control.
14:41Can I get garage number two?
14:47Eager to maintain visibility among staff and inmates, recently elected Sheriff Lavon Allen
14:53is carrying out his daily check-in of the jail.
14:57Am I looking at you?
14:58Always here.
14:59Okay.
15:01Oh, Sheriff on that.
15:04Carry on, carry on, carry on.
15:08Hello.
15:09Hello.
15:10I was elected the youngest sheriff in Metro Atlanta history.
15:12You know, at 35 years old.
15:13It goes back as far as 1864.
15:18Culturally, I don't take it for granted that, of course, everyone on this wall does not look like me.
15:24It speaks to the change of how the county has changed as a whole as well.
15:29And, of course, I think I'm the youngest and the most hassled up there anyway.
15:37I'm a cop child.
15:38My mother was a sheriff's deputy for the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.
15:41She did that all my life.
15:43But there was a couple of situations that happened that kind of pushed me towards law enforcement.
15:50My aunt was tragically murdered by her long-term boyfriend.
15:55It was a murder-suicide.
15:57He shot and killed her and then, of course, shot and killed himself.
16:00A few years later, my brother was tragically murdered in the streets of Atlanta through gun violence.
16:07And then eight years later, my sister was ultimately murdered from domestic violence.
16:12So I lost both my oldest brother and oldest sister and my aunt to violence.
16:17And that's why I got into law enforcement.
16:23I truly do this because I live in Clayton.
16:27I have four kids and a wife that lives in Clayton that I'm protecting.
16:31Of course, I'm going to protect your family just as well as I protect my own.
16:36I didn't want to take the safety and put that in anyone else's hands but mine.
16:43We just got in a fight.
16:47All right, they're going to come talk to you.
16:49Sheriff Allen is determined to tackle the long-standing scandals and conditions plaguing the jail.
16:55All right, y'all all right?
16:56All right.
16:57I think what makes life tough in the Clayton County Jail is we're not having complete funding.
17:02Hey, y'all, back up, back up.
17:05Now, y'all want me to come in and disrupt y'all, I will.
17:08Just back up and do what y'all are doing but back up behind the line.
17:11Hold on, I'll be back in and talk to y'all.
17:14We got bullets.
17:17Our job is only to hold someone until they're either found guilty or not guilty.
17:23But to make someone live, live in here or violate their rights right here is not my job and not
17:29what I'm trying to do.
17:29We need to make sure that the funding comes to the jail so that we can prevent these issues.
17:37Water from plumbing.
17:38Not sure if it's dirty water or clean water but ultimately it's water and that's not how it's designed so
17:43we need to fix it.
17:44When I took over as sheriff, we had 62 toilets that were broken.
17:48The 62 toilets cost $8,600 each and it takes 14 to 16 weeks to build one toilet because that's
17:56a customized toilet.
17:5825 years ago, having a customized toilet that takes 16 weeks to build, it might have been conducive to what
18:04was going on because it wasn't overcrowded.
18:06But now we need to kind of change that whole entire system and then make sure that we get this
18:10type of stuff fixed like that.
18:30You got me.
18:34Clayton County Jail serves over 2 million meals per year.
18:43today with limited officers and staff on duty there are not enough resources to safely conduct
18:50two separate meal services during the jail's daily operations that was supposed to be 26 officers on
18:56the e-shift roughly having about 10. this will be my dinner peanut butter and jelly after we

25:05east wing of the clayton county jail
25:08major bullard begins his shift by ferrying a group of inmates to intake for showers
25:14with no hot water in their unit inmate hygiene has deteriorated
25:20we're trying to shower as many as we can every day by taking them down the hall but you know
25:25when you got 2,000 inmates up in here and 20 or 30 showers that's working that's a tough task
25:32come on he hopes today's showers will limit the spread of bug infestations
25:39hurry up that's why we ferry people down here because the water's still warm here
25:45this ain't either no that's a lice but a problem such as no hot water can cause so much more
25:54in
25:54this jail not just a bug problem but a frustration problem
26:08our sheriff took over a jail that needed a whole lot of work
26:12and that's what he's been fighting for you know to get funds and everything to get the stuff taken
26:17care of so this is something he actually inherited inside the jail and we're trying to get it taken
26:24care of now
26:34in the south wing a report has come in about two broken showers and a cell unit
26:40major bullard steps in to supervise the repairs
26:47this is one of our maintenance technicians he's here to work on the showers now and as you can see
26:53this is the damage that they cause behind the showers
27:01we got maintenance issues all over the jail mostly inmates destroying this old building so we have some major infrastructure
27:09problems that we're trying to get corrected right now
27:11there should be some piping connected to the next shower is on the same way
27:20they just tore that whole thing out so basically neither one of these showers are working right now
27:28the maintenance team discovers a cache of stripped metal and wooden pieces from beyond the shower units
27:34a lot of you guys say they need metal chains for protection against other inmates so the quickest way to
27:41get you a weapon is to get piping from the shower
27:51it's amazing the things they can forge out of this stuff piece like this will end up in a sword
27:59man you can kill somebody with this
28:12while preparing to repair a shower unit in the south wing major bullard discovers a trove of metal and wood
28:18we try to get them marks and brooms so they can clean up behind themselves
28:24they break the marks they break the brooms
28:28this never ends
28:30try to talk to them and tell them anything
28:32you know the showers are here for you man you know you should want a shower and have a shower
28:39but they feel it's more important to have pieces of metal to protect themselves against each other
28:45but if we can connect these to any one individual we charge them
28:50they have so many jailhouse charges that they may not never get out of here
28:58they've destroyed the bathroom in a way to rig this where i will have at least two showers working in
29:05here
29:05i can rig it but what i'm gonna do is they might still be able to pull this off
29:13if it's not welded they can break it
29:15right
29:16and i was hoping there was some sort of way that we can rig both of them where there will
29:22be at least two showers down here
29:25but that's not going to help
29:26on maintenance people come behind repair it they destroy it again
29:30you come behind them repair it they destroy it again
29:34if you don't weld it they come in here
29:36yeah
29:37it's frustrating
29:41it's my responsibility to make sure these people have what they need
29:45but i understand that i've been doing this a long time that's just the way it is
30:04it's friday morning and overnight clayton county's intake has swollen with new arrivals
30:11hey let me get some shoes
30:12a surge that threatens to overwhelm an already overcrowded inmate population
30:20and take control
30:22inmates can get wild when they come in here
30:23for sure
30:24you never know what somebody's mindset is
30:27they come off the road they drunk or they mad
30:30oh he's arresting me jackass all this
30:34once arrested
30:35you can sit down on them
30:36inmates are first taken to medical to ensure they're healthy enough to enter the facility
30:41from there it's fingerprinting
30:44two free phone calls
30:46and then off to classification
30:48to keep down the level of violence
30:50anybody with mis-meters is in one place
30:52everybody with felonies is in one place
30:57and your shoes
30:59as the busy day in intake continues
31:01the already short-staffed officers know that with this new influx of inmates
31:06they have to be ready to respond at a moment's notice
31:11they'll take control
31:12they'll take hold of 12
31:13you gotta think about it
31:14in response time
31:16to incidents
31:17you gotta get there
31:18you gotta get there quite fast in the herd
31:20and if you don't
31:22there's people's lives you're playing with
31:30in housing unit 5
31:33a code red has been called
31:35an inmate on the second floor
31:37has set a fire inside his cell
31:41the fire
31:41we have to move
31:48officers enter the unit to extinguish the fire
31:52and relocate the inmate responsible for questioning
32:20Major Bullard steps in to investigate the cause of the fire.
32:36Now these lights and LED lights, they're pretty much on 24 hours a day, and they're not supposed
32:43to get hot.
32:44But they get hot, they'll roll up toilet paper, and they'll stand and they'll hold it to their
32:50light until eventually they start smoldering, they blow on it, get a little oxygen on it,
32:57start to blaze.
33:02On this floor here, this is our behavior management floor.
33:07All of the guys that are down here in behavior management had some sort of jail infraction.
33:11So these guys are in 23 hours and out one hour, and I guess they're taking a toll on you.
33:22What's going on?
33:23Why are you starting the fire?
33:24Look, it's because I ain't been out of my cell since Sunday, mate.
33:27It's Friday.
33:30And you ain't been out since Sunday?
33:31Sunday.
33:32I've been fired a day.
33:33I've been fired a day.
33:35Hey, when I know my rights being violated, I'm going to speak out on this one.
33:39I know my right way.
33:40I'm just, I know how to talk.
33:42I know how to express myself.
33:43I know how to speak.
33:44But sometimes these folks, they won't hear you.
33:46Well, don't start on the more fire.
33:47That's my word.
33:48I ain't start on the more fire.
33:49That's my word.
33:50That's my word.
33:52I think he didn't get out.
33:55It could be understaffing, overpopulation, and you know, my people make mistakes too.
34:03You know?
34:03And that's one of the things our sheriff has talked about, is that we just don't have
34:07the bodies to facilitate what we need inside this facility.
34:17Minutes later, an officer inmate altercation is escalating in Housing Unit 8, intensifying
34:26a chaotic day.
34:27You know what I'm saying?
34:27We can come out now since you already got me a room.
34:29You already got me a room, bro.
34:30I know where to go to now.
34:32You can't come out now.
34:33You can't come out now.
34:33Why?
34:33Well, you have to wait.
34:35Move your hands.
34:38Move your hands.
34:41Move your hands.
34:54Go inside.
34:58Hey.
34:59In Housing Unit 8, an officer fends off an aggressive inmate, refusing to lock down.
35:07Can't number test.
35:13Come in!
35:15Oh!
35:15The officer is forced to deploy her taser.
35:18Outnumbered, it's her only means of regaining control of the situation.
35:31Before Major Buller can respond,
35:35a second inmate officer altercation is unfolding,
35:39this time in Housing Unit 3.
35:47It's up, mental paramedics,
35:495-9 in Housing Unit 3.
35:52What's in it?
35:57Open out the slide of Housing Unit 3.
36:05What's going on?
36:07What happened?
36:08He popped out of the cell when I was trying to get a pill call.
36:10He button-rushed the door, so I popped.
36:13That's the never-ending process.
36:15Because we do the same thing over and over again.
36:19I guess that's just a way of the jail.
36:22Yeah, we got to do all of that.
36:25We do the best we can for what we got.
36:29All we can.
36:30That's it.
36:33Clap.
36:46What we got?
36:48What we got?
36:48What?
36:48Shot lifted.
36:49Shot lifted.
36:50Shot lifted?
36:50Okay.
36:51What she got?
36:53Extraction property.
36:54Got it.
36:55In intake, new arrests are piling up.
36:59The sheriff is attempting to relieve some pressure on his overwhelmed staff.
37:04You good?
37:04You good?
37:05You good?
37:05What's your last name?
37:06Yeah, oh my God.
37:08Yeah, oh my God.
37:09Hey, paperwork.
37:10That's it right there?
37:11And that's, is that, is that it?
37:12That's the only thing he has?
37:13Say he's driving on a suspended license.
37:14How much is his bond?
37:16Um, suspended license would be $1,500.
37:19He's here on a driving on a suspended license.
37:21So ultimately he would stay here until he can come up with $1,500 and ultimately the theory
37:25is if he's in jail and not working he won't be able to come up with the $1,500.
37:29So he would stay here ultimately indefinitely until his case goes to court on, on, on a $1,500
37:35bond on driving on a suspended license.
37:38Okay.
37:38Yeah, you could do it.
37:39Do the R on it.
37:40Yeah.
37:42Come on, come on.
37:43Due to us being overcrowded, I have the ability to give him a own recontinent bond.
37:48So I'm going to let him out without paying the money and then he can, he can, he can get
37:52out.
37:53Hey, get somebody else to drive you, man, an Uber.
37:55Okay.
37:56All right.
37:56We're going to take care of him.
38:03In housing unit eight, the sheriff has ordered the sanitation of a bug infested unit and the
38:12distribution of clean clothing.
38:14These guys have complained of bed bugs.
38:16So we're going to get them showered and changed.
38:19And while all that process is going on, we're going to take care of their housing section.
38:24Hey, put your stuff in your room, take it in, I'm going to feed you and then I'm going to
38:28bring you back out so I can do the showers.
38:35We have sanitation in here right now.
38:39They cleaning, they sterilizing the rooms with the light treatment gun.
38:46They bleaching it, fabulous and everything down.
38:49They pressure washing the showers.
38:55Everybody take a shower, six at a time.
38:57All right.
38:58Make sure y'all grab everything y'all need.
38:59Yes, sir.
39:01While we're doing sanitation in that section, we're going to start faring down five or six
39:06down the intake at a time.
39:07Everything new.
39:08New mat, new shit, new jumpsuit, and all white thermos.
39:12Everything new.
39:13Get them showered, cleaned up, uniform, bring them back, get another six.
39:19Step into a stall, take off your clothes.
39:24Hey, we stopped the lights here, so you're going to take the shower.
39:28The chemicals is in the shower.
39:31How's it looking right now?
39:33So far, I don't see not one.
39:35I don't even see no egg.
39:39As the jail funnels inmates through the delousing showers, Milton Davies is among them.
39:44He's to receive clean clothing, something he's been asking for for weeks.
39:49Not clean.
39:51You don't got no balls on, no eggs or none of this.
39:54All right.
40:02I will say this, though.
40:04The sheriff, he kept his word.
40:07This is not a prison.
40:09This is a pretrial detention facility.
40:11So anybody can be in here for any walk of life, any issue.
40:15But, you know, that doesn't mean they should be treated a certain way.
40:19Only the bottom tier should have come out.
40:22Top tier remain there.
40:23Everyone should be treated the exact same until they hurt from court,
40:27and then they'll go to prison, and then the prison system will deal with it.
40:32So if there's any issues or anything that happens, you know,
40:35I want to be able to truly say, I'm putting my best foot forward trying to fix it.
40:40The room's being synergized.
40:41Break it down.
40:42I'm on the map.
40:43Grab a map.
40:46This is serious.
40:49You have to understand that these are human lives.
40:57Behind those jumpsuits, whether the color is orange or red, they have a heart that pushes blood through it.
41:11And ultimately, someone has to care.
41:18This has been like this for 25 years, and no one has said anything about it.
41:24Ultimately, they got the right one, and they got me that's going to say something about it.
41:27We walked out there.
41:27No water, and you got some water, but barely running now.
41:28What's happening?
41:28Let's talk a little bit.
41:28Come on.
41:29There's no water.
41:30Mexico.
41:30People are Italian.
41:30There are no roads.
