| 00:00:00 | Less incidents, less problems with the staff,
things of that nature.
|
| 00:00:04 | Narrator: But the work programs, like those
in the bike shop,
furniture factory, and barbershop,
come with their own risks.
|
| 00:00:14 | Officers routinely discover weapons, like
these blades,
which were stolen from a pendleton workshop.
|
| 00:00:22 | INMATE robert McIntyre is serving life for
double rder.
|
| 00:00:27 | McIntyre: I got two life sentences.
|
| 00:00:28 | Just had a bad day and ended up killing two
innocent people.
|
| 00:00:32 | Nobody I knew, you know?
|
| 00:00:35 | Some bad decisions.
|
| 00:00:37 | Narrator: Mcintyre is a big man with a violent
temper.
|
| 00:00:42 | 230 Pounds. I hit really nice.
|
| 00:00:45 | Narrator: Today, he's working with a paintbrush
on the prison's new mural project.
|
| 00:00:51 | McINTYRE IS GLAD TO BE OUT OF HIS CELL,
But he understands the rules of the game.
|
| 00:00:57 | McIntyre: It's a control method.
|
| 00:00:59 | "We'll give you this,
and then we'll threaten to take it away from
"
Narrator: Allowing inmates to work largely
unsupervised in prison halls
may seem like a big risk,
but offenders know they must tow the line
or be locked in their cells.
|
| 00:01:16 | The psychological battle
between the administration and the convict
is a constant, ongoing tension.
|
| 00:01:26 | Narrator: But for some the incentives don't
work.
|
| 00:01:30 | Breond yarbrough is one of them.
|
| 00:01:33 | "
I grew up in chicagogang-banging,
so crime wasn't reallynothing to me.
|
| 00:01:40 | Narrator: He's serving life for strangling
two men.
|
| 00:01:46 | He's been busted for trying to smuggle cocaine
into prison.
|
| 00:01:50 | Yarbrough: I should have been in prison
or I should have dead a long time ago.
|
| 00:01:55 | So if this ain't saving me, it's saving somebody
else.
|
| 00:01:59 | If I was out, still on the street,
I probably would have killed somebody else.
|
| 00:02:03 | Narrator: For chi-town and inmates like him,
serving their sentences means doing hard
time.
|
| 00:02:10 | But chaos can still erupt without warning.
|
| 00:02:14 | Up next, the prison faces a worst-case scenario
when two inmates vanish.
|
| 00:02:21 | Then, officers storm a cellblock to send
inmates a warning.
|
| 00:02:26 | ..
|
| 00:02:27 | Hi. I'm michelle. I'll be your parole officer.
|
| 00:02:29 | A dangerous criminal goes back to the streets.

predator.

Narrator: Superintendent brett mize took
over
indiana's pendleton maximum-security prison
in march, 2008.
|
| 00:04:43 | His mission was to bring order to a population
full of violent offenders.
|
| 00:04:49 | Mize: Murder, rape, armed robbery.
|
| 00:04:52 | We've had them up from 20 years
all the way towe have an offender in here
that's serving 280 years.
|
| 00:04:57 | Narrator: Before mize, pendleton had a history
of chaos, riots,
and fights like this one,
caught on the prison's
closed-circuit monitoring system.
|
| 00:05:09 | His team includes more than 300 officers
and an internal affairs department,
which investigates all crimes committed in
the prison.
|
| 00:05:19 | Investigator mike rains is the superintendent's
eyes and ears.
|
| 00:05:24 | He's worked at pendleton for 30 years
and once took 20 stitches to the head
after an assault by an inmate.
|
| 00:05:33 | I got a private call on my cellphon
uh-huh.
|
| 00:05:36 | And they said they'd bring me up here to
see my boyfriend.
|
| 00:05:40 | [ Sniffles ]
today, rains is interrogating a woman
who came to visit her boyfriend in prison.
|
| 00:05:46 | During a routine search, or pat down,
security found two suspicious packages
she was trying to smuggle into the visiting
room.
|
| 00:05:54 | Tell you what it is right now.
|
| 00:05:57 | Marijuana.
|
| 00:05:58 | You didn't make up the packages, huh?
|
| 00:06:03 | This is tobacco.
|
| 00:06:06 | Feels like rolling papers.
|
| 00:06:08 | You realize that bringing this stuff in's
a felony?
|
| 00:06:12 | Rains calls state police to arrest the woman,
but his investigation inside prison walls
is just beginning.
|
| 00:06:21 | Rains: While we were interviewing her,
her boyfriend was calling heron her cellphone.
|
| 00:06:26 | You could hear her phonevibrating.
|
| 00:06:29 | And he had actually text-messaged her
and asked her what's going on.
|
| 00:06:33 | Narrator: That means that her inmate boyfriend
has a cellphone,
and they are strictly forbidden.
|
| 00:06:40 | Cellphones can be used
to make drug deals or intimidate witnesses.
|
| 00:06:45 | Rains sends officers to find the boyfriend
and his illegal phone.
|
| 00:06:50 | Rains: We're searching him right now and
another inmate
that she gave us a name for,
and we're searching both of them for phones.
|
| 00:06:58 | She had a lot of information she'd like to
give up,
but bottom line is that she's on her way
to jail,
and we'll deal with him inside.
|
| 00:07:11 | Narrator: Rains dispatches officers to a
cellhouse,
where they roused jerole adams,
"
he's serving 40 yearsfor drug dealing.
|
| 00:07:23 | Rains suspects this inmate
is another member of the smuggling ring
and that he could be hiding a phone.
|
| 00:07:30 | What the hell is going on, man?
|
| 00:07:32 | WHAT, ARE YOU SHAKING ME DOWN? Rains: Yeah.
|
| 00:07:37 | Narrator: But in a psychological cat-and-mouse
game,
officers don't tell fatback what they are
looking for or why.
|
| 00:07:50 | Officers don't find a phone, but the investigation
isn't over.
|
| 00:07:55 | The next day, rains ratchets up the pressure
on him
during recreation.
|
| 00:08:01 | She said something about me?
|
| 00:08:03 | Rains: Oh, yeah.
|
| 00:08:05 | Why?
|
| 00:08:06 | We'll talk about it.
|
| 00:08:08 | See you later, fatback.
|
| 00:08:10 | Rains: He's concerned now.
|
| 00:08:12 | He wasn't concerned yesterday,
when we shook him down, but now he's nervous.
|
| 00:08:17 | Narrator: Later, rains calls fatback into
his office
to get more information or a confession.
|
| 00:08:24 | How many times she been here to see you?
|
| 00:08:27 | I couldn't recall that.
|
| 00:08:30 | Did she bring you anything illegal?
|
| 00:08:32 | No. no?
|
| 00:08:35 | She didn't?
|
| 00:08:35 | Why is it she's telling me that she brought
you in a package?
|
| 00:08:39 | I don't know why she would say something
like that
unless she was mad at me.
|
| 00:08:43 | Why would she be mad at you?
|
| 00:08:45 | I quit talking to her.
|
| 00:08:47 | He doesn't confess,
but rains is trying to build a case
that could put him in disciplinary segregation
and add time to his sentence.
|
| 00:08:56 | Did you see him? did you see his feet?
|
| 00:09:00 | Man: [ laughs ]
he was getting way too nervous for somebody
that was innocent.
|
| 00:09:06 | Narrator: Enforcing strict punishment for
rule breakers
is an important part of discipline at pendleton.
|
| 00:09:13 | It shows that we have controlof our facility.
|
| 00:09:15 | I'm trying to keep this facility productive,
keep the offenders calm
and following all the rules and regulations.
|
| 00:09:20 | Narrator: This afternoon, one of mize's
new procedures is under way
in the disciplinary segregation unit.
|
| 00:09:27 | It's a cell-evacuation drill.
|
| 00:09:30 | Here, officers and staff rehearse the proper
steps
in case of fire or natural disasters.
|
| 00:09:38 | Turn around. turn around.
|
| 00:09:40 | Perhaps more importantly, the drill also
reminds offenders
that they can be moved or subdued at any
time.
|
| 00:09:49 | Before they remove an inmate from his cell,
officers bind his hands with plastic cuffs.
|
| 00:10:01 | What's up, mama? send me some money.
|
| 00:10:03 | Rains: Huh? last one.
|
| 00:10:08 | Inmates are led to the gym.
|
| 00:10:11 | If anything gets out of hand,
a response team is ready with live ammunition
and tear gas.
|
| 00:10:18 | [ Indistinct shouting ]
yeah, there's a lot of secret communications
going on.
|
| 00:10:27 | No!
|
| 00:10:27 | About 30 minutes into the drill, inmates
are already restless.
|
| 00:10:34 | Even in handcuffs, inmates could injure an
officer.
|
| 00:10:39 | Rains: I think we got an issue here.
|
| 00:10:42 | Narrator: Officers step in and regain order.
|
| 00:10:48 | When it's time to return the inmates to their
..
|
| 00:10:52 | Where's 22? 22?
|
| 00:10:53 | Narrator:..They are ordered to line up
when their number's called.
|
| 00:10:58 | 21.
|
| 00:11:01 | An officer notices that two inmates are missing.
|
| 00:11:04 | They aren't in the gym or in their designated
line.
|
| 00:11:07 | They could be loose on the grounds.
|
| 00:11:11 | ]
rains doesn't sound the alarm yet.
|
| 00:11:21 | He's counting on armed officers
to keep the inmates from escaping.
|
| 00:11:26 | A few minutes later, rains learns the inmates
are found.
|
| 00:11:32 | Everybody's accounted for.
|
| 00:11:34 | Thank you. all right. bye.
|
| 00:11:37 | They got them.
|
| 00:11:37 | Narrator: The two inmates were looking to
cause trouble
and got in the wrong line to confuse the
staff.
|
| 00:11:44 | They'll be disciplined.
|
| 00:11:47 | The day's drill ends with no injuries to
officers or inmates,
but the next violent encounter
could be right around the corner.
|
| 00:11:56 | Up next, a stockpile of weapons is discovered,
and officers raid a cellhouse to take back
control.
|
| 00:12:05 | And later, gang violence keeps the prison
on the verge of chaos.
|
| 00:12:31 | Hut!
|
| 00:12:31 | [ grunting, shouting ]
[ grunts ]
[ Man ] MIKE, COME ON!
|
| 00:12:39 | Mike -- what is your deal, man?

| 00:12:40 | you've been riding me all
day.

| 00:12:42 | Mike, you're playing like betty white out
there.

| 00:12:47 | Eat a snickers.

| 00:12:49 | Better?

| 00:12:51 | Better.

| 00:12:52 | [ Man ] HIKE! I'M OPEN!
|
| 00:12:54 | [ grunts ]
That hurt.

| 00:12:56 | [ Male Announcer ] YOU'RE NOTYOU WHEN YOU'RE
Hungry.
|
| 00:12:59 | Snickers satisfies.
|
| 00:16:19 | Narrator: At indiana's pendleton correctional
facility,
inmates sleep, eat, exercise, and work
under the watchful eye of superintendent
brett mize
and his officers.
|
| 00:16:30 | I try to get at the cellhouseevery day, recreation,
the dining hall -- somewherewithin the facility
every day.
|
| 00:16:37 | I can't expect my staffto be out here
with the maximum-security offenders every
day
and the superintendent be locked up inside
his office.
|
| 00:16:46 | But despite his efforts,
doing time at this maximum-security prison
can still be unpredictable and dangerous.
|
| 00:16:55 | Offenders using homemade weapons to attack
other inmates or staff
is an ongoing problem at pendleton.
|
| 00:17:03 | These weapons could be hidden anywhere inside
the prison.
|
| 00:17:07 | Finding and removing them is a top priority.
|
| 00:17:11 | Today, lieutenant margie horton is supervising
the shakedown
in "i" complex.
|
| 00:17:17 | Horton: I have regular shakedowns back here.
|
| 00:17:22 | And the reason we do it's
because there's a lot of hidingspaces back
here for shanks.
|
| 00:17:26 | Narrator: Shanks are improvised weapons
that can be made out of almost any solid
object.
|
| 00:17:31 | Once they're filed sharp, they can do serious
damage,
like these wounds photographed by pendleton
investigators.
|
| 00:17:43 | Correctional officer donaldchappel is searching
the vents
by an ice machinenear the inmate lounge.
|
| 00:17:50 | Horton: Did you find something?
|
| 00:17:53 | Yeah, lieutenant.
|
| 00:17:54 | Describe what you have found.
|
| 00:17:56 | Found two homemade shanks.
|
| 00:17:57 | Shanks like this, a lot of times you will
find that
if you look at an office chair,
you'll see this where it lifts the office
chair up and down.
|
| 00:18:06 | And we do have a furniture factory here.
|
| 00:18:15 | There's another shank.
|
| 00:18:17 | Horton: We have to be very knowledgeable
and think like they think.
|
| 00:18:20 | Even if we're not like them, we have to think
like they think,
because we got to find something.
|
| 00:18:26 | 'Cause if we don't, it could mean our life.
|
| 00:18:29 | That's probably being in the makings of one.
|
| 00:18:33 | Still ain't sharpened yet.
|
| 00:18:35 | Was in the makings.
|
| 00:18:40 | Come on. march. march.
|
| 00:18:43 | Narrator: Because so many weapons were found
today in "i" complex,
superintendent mize orders a team of officers
to lock-down and shake down the whole unit
in the dead of night.

forward march.
|
| 00:19:13 | Water to the building has been cut off
to prevent inmates from flushing contraband
down the toilets.
|
| 00:19:19 | The shakedown squad enters from a side door
so inmates can't see them coming.
|
| 00:19:30 | Lower left.
|
| 00:19:30 | The search of "i" complex begins.
|
| 00:19:43 | Inmates ay locked in their cells
as officers search outside.

| 00:19:48 | All they can do is watch and wait
until an officer reaches their door.

..
|
| 00:20:02 | Three, four.
|
| 00:20:07 | Before cells are searched, inmates are cuffed
and led away.
|
| 00:20:13 | Drug-sniffing dogs go to work.
|
| 00:20:17 | Inside are traces of contraband inmates tried
to flush.
|
| 00:20:23 | In a cell at the end of the block,
an officer feels something wedged between
slices of bread.
|
| 00:20:29 | There's something hard in this.
|
| 00:20:35 | Cellphone.
|
| 00:20:36 | Narrator: It's a big find.
|
| 00:20:38 | Tonight's shakedown was a success
and sent offenders an important message --
contraband will not be tolerated.
|
| 00:20:50 | Among the confiscated items,
an officer has found parts of a tattoo gun.
|
| 00:20:53 | It's not lethal, but it poses a clear danger
inside the prison.
|
| 00:20:59 | and other serious
diseases
and allow inmates to show gang affiliations.
|
| 00:21:07 | You're gonna get your swastikas,your "white
power" tattoos.
|
| 00:21:13 | You're gonna get your six-point stars, your
five-point star.
|
| 00:21:17 | Definitely organizational names and initials.
|
| 00:21:20 | Narrator: Inmate joshua aaron is serving
six years for armed robbery.
|
| 00:21:26 | He's built an illegal business giving inmates
tattoos.
|
| 00:21:30 | Our camera caught aaron beginning a tattoo.
|
| 00:21:34 | He works in secluded areas, like this one,
while inmates keep watch for the staff.
|
| 00:21:41 | Aaron: Lot of guys mad right now
that I'm doing something illegal on camera,
but facility knows that it happens.
|
| 00:21:50 | And [bleep] them. they ain't doing my time.
|
| 00:21:53 | Immediately following this incident,
officers recovered and confiscated aaron's
equipment.
|
| 00:21:59 | He will be disciplined.
|
| 00:22:01 | Changing a gang tattoo is another danger.
|
| 00:22:05 | Marco shugars learned that firsthand.
|
| 00:22:08 | He's serving eight years for armed robbery.
|
| 00:22:11 | He was a member of the ultraviolent
aryan brotherhood gang.
|
| 00:22:15 | When he quit, he changed his tattoo,
or "patch," as gang members call them.
|
| 00:22:20 | I went aheadand had my patch covered up,
and that's when all -- you know,
everything that happened happened.
|
| 00:22:28 | Rains: shugars
hostage,
and they had a knife at his throat.
|
| 00:22:34 | They slammed his head intothe window two
or three times.
|
| 00:22:38 | Narrator: The brotherhood attacked shugars
in this dormitory,
where they barricades the doors and lit fire
to a mattress.
|
| 00:22:46 | Up next, gangs try to run their own empires
from inside pendleton.
|
| 00:22:52 | And later, inmates take revenge on sex offenders.

Narrator: Inside the 30-foot walls
of pendleton maximum-security prison in indiana,
rapists, murderers, and other violent offenders
live in a society of their own.
|
| 00:27:44 | And gangs try to dominate that world with
their own rules.

| 00:28:42 | Y'all got cameras in there, don't you?
|
| 00:28:45 | Are you a memberof any organizations?
|
| 00:28:47 | No. I quit.
|
| 00:28:49 | What did you quit?
|
| 00:28:50 | Maniac latin disciples.
|
| 00:28:52 | And when did you quit?
|
| 00:28:54 | Think january or february.
|
| 00:28:56 | did they --
no. I mean, I don't know.
|
| 00:29:00 | Rains thinks the inmate is holding back.
|
| 00:29:02 | But after 30 years on the job, he can guess
what happened.
|
| 00:29:07 | The inmate was stabbed because he wanted
out of the gang.
|
| 00:29:11 | "
this gonna be good enough for him for your
blood-out,
or whatever they call it?
|
| 00:29:23 | This answer is all rains needs
to confirm the assault was gang-related.
|
| 00:29:28 | In some gangs, only the death of a disloyal
member
will satisfy the blood-out ritual.
|
| 00:29:36 | ,
or protective custody, to prevent further
attacks.
|
| 00:29:43 | For superintendent mize,
controlling violence among the inmates
means understanding how each gang is organized
and how it functions inside the prison.
|
| 00:29:54 | Mize: Some staff members here work specifically
to find out
what initiation process is, what they're
doing inside the walls,
if they're trying to recruit newmembers,
to keep a good temperatureon them
to find out what they're doing.
|
| 00:30:06 | Narrator: He relies on hisinternal affairs
department
to monitor the inmatesfor signs of gang activity.
|
| 00:30:12 | Rains: The gang culture'sreally important
with them.
|
| 00:30:15 | They have a leader, and thenyou have section
chiefs.
|
| 00:30:19 | You have first sergeants.
|
| 00:30:20 | THEY'RE CALLEDACTUALLY FIRST "Cs."
And they controlthe foot soldiers,
and they send the foot soldiersout to do
all their bidding,
their dirty work.
|
| 00:30:29 | Narrator:PRISON OFFICIALS SUSPECT THAT MURDERER
Marc tillman
is the leader of another gang,the gangster
disciples.
|
| 00:30:37 | Tillman deniesthat he's a gangster,
but he says gangs are operatinginside pendleton.
|
| 00:30:43 | It's not just a bunchof unorganized guys
running around on some,you know, mob action.
|
| 00:30:51 | Yeah, there's drugs.
|
| 00:30:53 | Narrator:THIS INMATE, ENGAI MAUL,
Is the suspected leaderof the vice lords.
|
| 00:30:59 | He, too, denieshe's a gang leader.
|
| 00:31:01 | Maul is serving 65 yearsfor murder
and goes by the nickname"bumps,"
allegedly because of allthe beatings he dishes
out.
|
| 00:31:09 | Maul: This is a maximum-securityprison, man.
|
| 00:31:12 | So, you know, a lot of brothershere, you
know,
ain't going home,
and a lot of brothers got a lotof time to
deal with, right?
|
| 00:31:21 | So you fight a lot of wars.
|
| 00:31:24 | Narrator: Internal affairsmember walter peterson
suspects
that maul and mause their gangs
to run a thriving prison blackmarket in drugs
and cellphones.
|
| 00:31:35 | They created a business, andthat business
is contraband.
|
| 00:31:38 | They try to get contraband inthrough the
visiting room.
|
| 00:31:42 | They try to get contraband through supplies
shipped into the facility.
|
| 00:31:45 | Tillman and maul have prison jobs in the
bike shop
and barbershop where, according to prison
officials,
they may be able to meet with their foot
soldiers.
|
| 00:31:57 | Rains: They know who's getting drugs.
|
| 00:31:59 | They know how it's coming in.
|
| 00:32:00 | But it's proving this is the hard part,
because you won't get anything to trace back
to them.
|
| 00:32:05 | Everything they do is planned out infinitely.
|
| 00:32:09 | They don't directly get involved with anything.
|
| 00:32:12 | Narrator: The prison's investigation of tillman
and maul is ongoing.
|
| 00:32:16 | The two inmates continue to deny they're
running gangs.
|
| 00:32:20 | I'm not no gang leader.a gang leader?
|
| 00:32:23 | I don't know whata gang leader is,
and I don't knowwhat a gang leader does.
|
| 00:32:28 | I'm just somebody who --
I've been doing a lot of time for a whole
lot of years, right?
|
| 00:32:33 | So I got a good rapport with a lot of individuals.
|
| 00:32:36 | Tillman: You just have people in places,
you know?
|
| 00:32:40 | You just have people in places.
|
| 00:32:42 | Like every shop around here
probably has a clerkor something, you know?
|
| 00:32:47 | And you get fringe benefits.
|
| 00:32:49 | So, I mean,
it might not be nothing but some extra kitchen
food, you know,
or some extra socks and boxers and t-shirts,
you know?
|
| 00:33:00 | Everybody's connected some kind of way.
|
| 00:33:04 | Narrator: Out on the street,
the gangster disciples and the vice lords
are rivals,
but prison officials believe
that for the sake of doing business,
the two leaders have joined forces inside
pendleton.
|
| 00:33:16 | The only thing tillman and maul will admit
is that they get along.
|
| 00:33:20 | We know that in order to keep things from
getting out of hand
a lot of times, we have to come together
and we have to,
you know, work things out.
|
| 00:33:32 | Up next, a sex offender faces off against
inmates
who want him dead.
|
| 00:33:38 | And later, a dangerous sexual predator goes
free
when his sentence is up.
|
| 00:34:04 | The catch me if you can,
dance your butt off,
knock out the lights,
motor boating,
reloaded and ready for anything,
elevator out of order,
running like a fool,
up, up and away, pedal to the metal,
boldly going anywhere--
muscles.
|
| 00:34:23 | , What muscles can do.
|
| 00:37:21 | Narrator: Most of the inmates at indiana's
pendleton correctional facility
will spend the rest of their lives in a prison
cell.
|
| 00:37:29 | To some, that means they have nothing left
to lose
and no reason to follow the rules.
|
| 00:37:35 | These prisoners are the most dangerous.
|
| 00:37:38 | Here, an inmate looking for trouble climbs
onto a railing.
|
| 00:37:43 | He grabs the security camera,
taunts prison authorities, then rips out
the cable.
|
| 00:37:50 | It's superintendent bretmize's job
to keep a lid on defiant behavior.
|
| 00:37:56 | He knows that to prevent violence
at this maximum-security prison, it comes
down to control.
|
| 00:38:03 | We have offenders that are here365 days a
year,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
|
| 00:38:10 | Narrator: But inside this prison,
there's a world just beyond mize's reach.
|
| 00:38:16 | [ Rapping indistinctly ]
our cameras caught these inmates rapping
about their way of life.
|
| 00:38:25 | Get your hands off of me, dude.
|
| 00:38:28 | Narrator: The murderers, rapists, drug dealers,
and thieves who live here
have their own set of rules when officers
are out of sight
..
|
| 00:38:41 | Man: [Bleep] child molester.
|
| 00:38:44 | [Bleep]
Narrator:..Especially when it comes to
sex offenders.
|
| 00:38:48 | [Bleep]
IN 2007, CHILD MOLESTER kent McDonald was
found
beaten to death in his cell.
|
| 00:38:57 | His new cellmate was the prime suspect.
|
| 00:39:00 | He's a member of the aryan brotherhood,
a gang which authorities say has sworn to
kill child molesters.
|
| 00:39:07 | There's always a possibility of a sex offender
to be assaulted.
|
| 00:39:11 | The population can pick those guys out.
|
| 00:39:14 | They know who they are.
|
| 00:39:15 | They don't like the people that harm kids.
|
| 00:39:17 | McIntyre: Child molesters deserve to be smacked.
|
| 00:39:19 | You wanted to go preyon a little kid?
|
| 00:39:22 | I'm a grown man.
|
| 00:39:23 | They don't need to hit somebody that is weak
like that.
|
| 00:39:26 | So they get slapped.
|
| 00:39:27 | Narrator: Pendleton officers don't discuss
which inmates are sex offenders,
but brandon perry, serving10 years for armed
robbery,
says inmates always have waysto find out.
|
| 00:39:41 | Can't get much worse than child molesters.
|
| 00:39:43 | There's not really honorable crime,
but if you're in here for murder, robbery,
selling drugs,
then people don't look at you like that,
you know what I'm saying?
|
| 00:39:51 | It's sick.
|
| 00:39:52 | Stephen singleton is serving three years
for a sex crime involving a minor.
|
| 00:39:58 | On this day, as he's escortedto the yard
for recreation,
singleton meets a stringof insults from inmates.
|
| 00:40:06 | [ Indistinct shouting ]
[bleep]
[bleep]
Narrator: The officer tells the inmates to
back off.
|
| 00:40:16 | Stick up for him like I stick up for you.
|
| 00:40:19 | Narrator: But he can't stop the boiling hatred.
|
| 00:40:27 | Once in the rec yard,
singleton must be kept in what's called a
rec cage.
|
| 00:40:32 | If officers didn't lock him away from other
inmates,
he wouldlmost certainly be attacked or even
killed.
|
| 00:40:41 | Bitch.
|
| 00:40:42 | Narrator: Convicted drug dealer jasper chastain
is in a nearby cage.
|
| 00:40:47 | I can't believe you guyspulled this child
molester
down here with us, man.
|
| 00:40:51 | That's ridiculous.it's disgusting.
|
| 00:40:53 | [Bleep] baby-raping bastard.
|
| 00:40:54 | Narrator: Chastain is serving 15 years for
making methamphetamine.
|
| 00:41:00 | He says he'd love to get his hands on singleton.
|
| 00:41:03 | I feel it's my right as a human being to
make their life hell.
|
| 00:41:08 | Narrator: Protected by the cage, singleton
taunts chastain.
|
| 00:41:12 | Here I am. we're not in the cell anymore.
|
| 00:41:16 | We're right here.
|
| 00:41:25 | Philman bickle is serving life for child
molesting
and sexual misconduct with a minor.
|
| 00:41:31 | He is the constant target of violent threats.
|
| 00:41:35 | They want you to hang yourselfor cut your
throat.
|
| 00:41:39 | "Why don't you just die?
|
| 00:41:40 | "
when they call you chomo, which is their
pet name,
it's a combination of two words -- child
molester.
|
| 00:41:51 | Narrator: And for inmates, there's another
reason to hate bickle.
|
| 00:41:55 | He's a former police officer.
|
| 00:41:58 | Bickle's a marked man.
|
| 00:42:01 | He lives in protective custody
where other inmates can't touch him.
|
| 00:42:06 | Bickle: They'd like to kill you.
|
| 00:42:08 | They beat you up.
|
| 00:42:09 | There's many people beaten up and stabbed.
|
| 00:42:12 | Not met, 'cause I've been segregated.
|
| 00:42:17 | But if I was to go out into the general population,
I wouldn't last very long.
|
| 00:42:23 | ..
|
| 00:42:25 | Take care of it pretty quickly.
|
| 00:42:27 | Narrator: Up next, a violent sexual predator
walks free.
|
| 00:42:33 | Do you have any idea what the restrictions
are
for housing as a sex offender?
|
| 00:42:37 | No.
|
| 00:43:13 | makeup?
|
| 00:43:13 | No way.
|
| 00:43:14 | Try clean makeup -- lightweight coverage
made for your skin type.
|
| 00:43:17 | For normal skin, oil control,
and new clean for sensitive skin.
|
| 00:43:21 | It's makeup that works for you 'cause it's
made for you.
|
| 00:43:24 | Easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl.
|
| 00:45:31 | Narrator: Since march, 2008,
brett mize has been cracking down on violence
and bringing order to indiana's pendleton
correctional facility.
|
| 00:45:41 | The proudest thing I am so far
of what we've able to accomplishhere in the
facility
is the number of staff assaults that was
going on
in this facility.
|
| 00:45:49 | They would average from 17 to 20 staff assaults
a month.
|
| 00:45:53 | In the last three mohs, we've averaged zero.
|
| 00:45:55 | Narrator: It's important to keep his staff
well-trained and safe.
|
| 00:46:01 | Mize: You can wear these effective today.
|
| 00:46:03 | I'm sure you'll do us a great job.
|
| 00:46:05 | Congratulations. thank you.
|
| 00:46:07 | Congratulations. thank you.
|
| 00:46:08 | But mize knows his most important duty
is to keep criminals in here and not on the
streets.
|
| 00:46:17 | My biggest challenges are to make sure
that we protect the public.
|
| 00:46:21 | We want to make sure that no offender
ever gets out of these walls.
|
| 00:46:25 | Narrator: But the protection mize provides
lasts only as long as an inmate's sentence.
|
| 00:46:32 | Inmate michael hendersonis being released
today.
|
| 00:46:37 | He's served nine years for a sex crime.
|
| 00:46:40 | He's considered a dangerous sexual predator.
|
| 00:46:44 | Michelle asheris his parole officer.
|
| 00:46:46 | She'll overseehenderson's release
and keep tabs on himonce he's back on the
streets.
|
| 00:46:52 | The community is the primary concern.
|
| 00:46:55 | Our goal is to protect the public.
|
| 00:46:58 | Narrator: Henderson has few resources outside
prison.
|
| 00:47:02 | He says he has no contact with his family
and no job history.
|
| 00:47:08 | Where'd you work at? I didn't.
|
| 00:47:10 | You've not had employment? not had employment.
|
| 00:47:12 | here in
the facility?
|
| 00:47:16 | ?
|
| 00:47:17 | Henderson will have to register as a sex
offender,
but he seems to know little about that
or other conditions of his parole.
|
| 00:47:25 | Okay, we're gonna go over what your stipulations
are.
|
| 00:47:28 | Do you have any questions upon your release?
|
| 00:47:30 | Well, I don't even know what it's about.
|
| 00:47:31 | Did you complete any of the somm training
inside the facility?
|
| 00:47:36 | I completed a prerelease program. okay.
|
| 00:47:39 | That's all I have done. okay.
|
| 00:47:41 | We want to make sure that there's a balance
between their freedom and the public's safety,
so it is high-risk situation when he comes
out.
|
| 00:47:50 | Narrator: There are strict laws designed
to keep sex offenders like henderson away
from children,
but it's unclear how well he understands
them.
|
| 00:48:01 | Okay.
|
| 00:48:01 | Do you have any idea what the restrictions
are
for housing as a sex offender? no.
|
| 00:48:07 | As far as you can't live near a school, day
care?
|
| 00:48:10 | I don't know nothing about it. okay.
|
| 00:48:13 | Out of all the criminals released from indiana
prisons,
sex offenders are the most likely to return
to prison.
|
| 00:48:21 | You cannot touch, photograph, correspond
with,
engage in small talk or any unnecessary conversation
with any child.
|
| 00:48:29 | Do you have any children of your own? no.
|
| 00:48:31 | say you're in a store and you run across
a child.
|
| 00:48:35 | You can't talk to them.
|
| 00:48:35 | I'm not telling you to be rude or mean to
them.
|
| 00:48:37 | But you can't talk to them.
|
| 00:48:38 | You need to walk away from them, okay?
|
| 00:48:40 | Okay.
|
| 00:48:43 | In a few minutes, henderson will be a free
man.
|
| 00:48:46 | Go ahead and go in that restroom right there.
|
| 00:48:49 | Then you can change, okay?
|
| 00:48:52 | Run inside there.
|
| 00:48:54 | Yeah. I'll watch it. all right.
|
| 00:48:58 | Stevens: Do I like it better when ty're in
here?
|
| 00:49:00 | If they're in here, at leastwe know that
they're in here,
and they're notout there doing stuff
that they shouldn't be doing.
|
| 00:49:07 | All right.
|
| 00:49:09 | All that stuff that was in the little envelope,
I just put it in here.
|
| 00:49:13 | Narrator: The state gives henderson $75
and will pay for a room at a motel for two
weeks.
|
| 00:49:24 | Go right here.
|
| 00:49:25 | A prison vehicle takes him to another town,
and he's set free.
|
| 00:49:31 | All right.
|
| 00:49:31 | From that moment on, mize, rains,
and the rest of the pendleton staff
have no control over henderson.
|
| 00:49:49 | At the completion of filming,
convicted sex offender michael henderson
had still not registered as a sex offender.
|
| 00:49:56 | The indiana department of correction
does not know his whereabouts.
|
| 00:50:01 | Henderson is a wanted man.
|
| 00:50:03 | Inside pendleton, brett mize's battle for
control continues.
|
| 00:50:09 | He's confident that his new prrams and strict
discipline
will continue to improve the prison's dangerous
reputation.
|
| 00:50:17 | Here, mize meets with inmate reprzeentatives.
|
| 00:50:20 | It's an opportunity for inmates to voice
their concerns,
but it's also a way for mize
to subtly enforce his main objective.
|
| 00:50:29 | First thing, the last couple weeks
have been really quiet inside.
|
| 00:50:32 | I want you guys to take backto the offender
population
I appreciate their cooperation,helping us
out.
|
| 00:50:38 | There hasn't been hardly anyincidents whatsoever.
|
| 00:50:41 | Narrator: During mize's firstfive months
as superintendent,
violent incidents at the prisondecreased
70%.
|
| 00:50:48 | Mize:got a lot of
endurance.
|
| 00:50:51 | That's just whatthe marine corps brought
to me.
|
| 00:50:53 | Narrator: It is one more signthat this iraq
war vet
is winning the battle to controlthe dangerous
inmates
behind these walls.
|
| 00:51:14 | Narrator: The new century jail in kansas
--
ultra-modern and under strict supervision.
|
| 00:51:20 | Turner: If you turn, I will tase you!
|
| 00:51:22 | Turner: This facility is not run by gang
members.
|
| 00:51:25 | It's run by deputies, and we do it well.
|
| 00:51:26 | do you understand
!
|
| 00:51:34 | Narrator: Big brother's constant surveillance
can cause inmates to snap.
|
| 00:51:44 | ..
|
| 00:51:48 | [ Indistinct shouting ]
...and the outcome can be deadly.
|
| 00:51:53 | Some people done killed theirself in here.

Narrator: The new century adult detention
center
in johnson county, kansas, just southwest
of kansas city.
|
| 00:52:20 | Its jail complex is state of the art.
|
| 00:52:26 | In addition to the computerized system,
cameras help monitor the inmates and manage
their every move.
|
| 00:52:33 | In control centers like this one,
detainees are under continuous surveillance.
|
| 00:52:40 | We have 12 screens.
|
| 00:52:41 | They're in constant rotationof the modules
in this building
and alsothe perimeter of this building.
|
| 00:52:45 | Cameras are so high-tech
that you can basically pull in on a car
across the bridge on the other side and take
in a tag.
|
| 00:52:52 | Kind of gives us an extra edge.
|
| 00:52:54 | Narrator: The building perimeter,
hallways, inside the cells, and in day rooms
--
the cameras see everything.
|
| 00:53:03 | With touch-screen technology,
the computers help control who gets in and
who gets out.
|
| 00:53:10 | We have officersworking in this facility
that are able to open,shut doors.

from another building.
|
| 00:53:21 | Lockdown. lockdown.
|
| 00:53:21 | At this time, the facility will lock down
and conduct a formal head count.
|
| 00:53:25 | Narrator: Sheriff's deputies oversee the
inmates with an iron fist.
|
| 00:53:30 | They respond swiftly and sharply to even
the smallest infraction.
|
| 00:53:35 | Smith: These guys aren't coddled by any means.
|
| 00:53:37 | "If you try something,i'm gonna better it"
-- that kind of thing.
|
| 00:53:39 | Hi
they know how it runs.
|
| 00:53:45 | Narrator: For some,
the harsh discipline and high-tech security
make this county jail tougher than any prison.
|
| 00:53:52 | Hannibal:theworst jail to be in,
'cause johnson county'ssupposed to be
one of the richest countiesin the nation,
and they treat you so bad here.
|
| 00:54:01 | This is a terrible jailto be in.
|
| 00:54:02 | They're basicallytrying to break you, for
real.
|
| 00:54:06 | Which,it does brea.som people.
|
| 00:54:09 | Narrator: The stress of being here
can push some detainees over the edge.
|
| 00:54:15 | That's what happens in november 2009,
when a simple card game turns into a violent
brawl.
|
| 00:54:23 | A surveillance camera captures it on tape.
|
| 00:54:29 | Inmates roger mills and richard gilchrist
are playing cards with two others
when mills becomes angry and accuses gilchrist
of cheating.
|
| 00:54:39 | I kept telling him I wasn't,but he didn't
take it.
|
| 00:54:41 | I mean,he just didn't believe me.
|
| 00:54:43 | And he got mad about it,
and he jumped up on me,and we started fighting.
|
| 00:54:49 | Mills Jr.:TOOK ME DOWN A COUPLE TIMES.
|
| 00:54:51 | Delivered a bunchof savage blows to my head.
|
| 00:54:53 | I got hit at least half a dozen times in
the head.
|
| 00:54:58 | Narrator: Deputy charles adelle is on duty.
|
| 00:55:11 | A code 200 signals an inmate-on-inmate fight
and calls out any available deputy to respond.
|
| 00:55:19 | It was probably oneof the better fights I've
seen
while I've been here,
as far as it was a pretty good match,
both inmates throwing punches.
|
| 00:55:28 | It wasn't one on top of the other.
|
| 00:55:30 | Narrator: Deputy adelle waits for backup.
|
| 00:55:34 | He orders the other detainees to return to
their cells.
|
| 00:55:39 | As soon as more deputies arrive, gilchrist
gives up the fight.
|
| 00:55:43 | Gilchrist: When I seen them coming in the
door, I stopped and walked away.
|
| 00:55:48 | I didn't want them to tase me.
|
| 00:55:50 | [ Taser crackling ]
Narrator: A taser delivers a powerful jolt
of electricity.
|
| 00:55:55 | It's painful and debilitating.
|
| 00:55:57 | Inmates know officers will tase them, and
more.
|
| 00:56:02 | If there's a fight in here,
they're gonna bringabout 40 cops in here.
|
| 00:56:05 | they're gonna mace
you.
|
| 00:56:08 | They're gonna slam you down in a chair.
|
| 00:56:10 | And everybody's gonna go locked down.
|
| 00:56:11 | Narrator: Gilchrist doesn't want to risk
those severe consequences.
|
| 00:56:16 | So I just got out of there.
|
| 00:56:18 | I just walked over and let them cuff me up.
|
| 00:56:20 | Narrator: As punishment, both men get 20
days in the hole.
|
| 00:56:25 | That's disciplinary segregation,
when they're locked up for 23 hours a day
in a maximum-security module.
|
| 00:56:31 | Turner: Both of those inmates, as well,
are on a full-restraint order,
which means they don't come out of their
cell
without handcuffs and shackles.
|
| 00:56:42 | Narrator: Inmates end up
in maximum-, medium-, or minimum-security
modules
based on their behavior in jail, not their
alleged crimes.
|
| 00:56:52 | Accused murderers and rapists
can be mixed in with petty criminals.
|
| 00:56:57 | Johnson county spends big money
to be on the cutting edge of jail technology,
most recently with a $54 million addition
at new century.
|
| 00:57:09 | The expansion means new century can now take
on
hundreds of new inmates from an older jail.
|
| 00:57:19 | The transfer will be the first operation
of its kind
for the deputies,
beginning with the most dangerous
and unstable detainees -- those in maximum
security.
|
| 00:57:31 | ONE OF THEMIS 20-YEAR-OLD brian McHenry,
charged with theft and drivingon a suspended
license.
|
| 00:57:39 | McHENRY HAS A HISTORY OF REFUSING TO COOPERATE.
|
| 00:57:43 | Officers suspect he may be mentally unbalanced.
|
| 00:57:48 | On this day, he won't come out of his cell
for a shower.
|
| 00:57:57 | It's oneof our general guidelines.
|
| 00:57:58 | You must showerat least three times a week.
|
| 00:58:00 | Narrator: Regular showers help stop the spread
of lice and disease,
such as hepatitis.
|
| 00:58:06 | CONCERNED about McHenry's mental state,
..
|
| 00:58:18 | ...THEN ESCORT A HANDCUFFED AND silent McHenry
into a shower room.
|
| 00:58:24 | Put your hand up on the wall.
|
| 00:58:28 | Narrator: But after several minutes,
he still refuses to cooperate.
|
| 00:58:34 | If you don't take a shower,
okay, we'll have to do that for you.
|
| 00:58:38 | You understand?
|
| 00:58:40 | There's no response at all.
|
| 00:58:45 | Let's get that hose.
|
| 00:58:46 | The deputies bring in a garden hose
and make their move with force.
|
| 00:58:52 | McHENRY, PUT YOUR HANDS UP ON THE WALL, PLEASE.
|
| 00:58:54 | Turn around and put your -- turn around --
McHenry: [Bleep] off me!
|
| 00:59:00 | Down! get down! get down!
|
| 00:59:03 | Narrator: Finally, after being restrained
by three officers,
McHENRY IS STRIPPED DOWN AND WASHED.
|
| 00:59:14 | But then deputies make a discovery.
