Letting out here or what . And bizarre expressions of personal style. Now, some of the most memorable, unexpected moments weve encountered inside americas prisons. This is what you live for in the penitentiary. You want to think its funny. Tough [ bleep ]. Never a dull moment. We send our producers and crews inside prisons. Their job is to be objective observers. But in the first week of filming inside limon correction facility in colorado, something unusual happened. We inadvertently became part of the story we were covering. Why is everybody getting agitated . We were in ad seg, administrative segregation, the prison within a prison. We started hearing inmates screaming out things and i started to hear them talking about chomos, which are sex offenders and then mayhem erupted. [ bleep ] i believe he threw a liquid substance under the door that smelled somewhat suspicious and were going to report that. Jonathan hall, serving 40 years for murder, was one of the first inmates to make it clear we werent welcome in administrative segregation. Unless he does calm down and follow our rules and orders, hell be cell extracted. Inmate hall wont calm down. So they call in the special Response Team. And they suit up in their gear. In these situations, when we want to film it, they always have us suit up as well. If he doesnt comply at that point, well introduce o. C. You got it . Uhhuh. Inmate hall, come to the door and cuff up. Inmate hall, come to the door and cuff up. If you do not cuff up, we will introduce chemical agents. Are you going to comply . Introduce o. C. Hall has covered his food port and window with a mattress. But the special Response Team knocks it down and fires a couple of short bursts of o. C. Gas. Hall, youre going to be all right, all right . Listen to my orders, okay . I cant. I need you to get up on your knees. Come on, help us out. Ahhh come on, lets go. Shooting an extraction wearing a gas mask is pretty difficult. Youre kept a certain distance from the view finder. Its hard to see. With my beard or goatee, the seal around the gas mask is compromised a bit. So there is some of the gas that leaks in. Eyes are watering a bit. But thats just part of it. We go in there and do the best we can to show whats going on. Youre fine, hall. Whats going on with these [ bleep ] . I need fresh air. I cant breathe. Youre all right, hall. Im going to secure you now. So that was quite a first day. The next day we had to go back into ad seg to continue doing our interviews and one of the inmates we were going to interview was michael gill. One of the first things he shared with us is that on the streets, he was a professional wrestler. I do what you see on tv, like wwe. But i do i do it off camera most of the time. And at smaller arenas. Mainly around kansas, colorado, iowa, stuff like that. Whats your name . My wrestling name . Bud dubey. It was a stoner character. Gill had just finished explaining that he was currently at limon on a parole violation when the interview was interrupted by a commotion on the ad seg tier. Thats crazy. Whats that about . Yeah, im curious, too. I can hear water running and we had an officer in the room with us that was doing our security and i asked him, whats going on . When he opened the door, you just heard this cascading water. What happened . They flooded the tier. Its awesome. You better go get that. I walked out of the Interview Room and was shocked to see water cascading down from the top tier down onto the floor. Id never seen anything like that in my life in a prison. What happened . What did you do, did you do this . I didnt do nothing. What happened . I have no idea. What does it look like happened . Im not even going to say nothing with that door opened. In the midst of this crazy scene, the officers were taking michael gill back to his cell, at which point he just started cracking jokes with the Staff Members. If you let me see the key, ill do the rest. Oh, i guess thats real cool. Thanks for having faith in me. Thats real cool. That is having faith in you. I have faith that youll try and escape. See . Youre crazy, sarge. Can i cruise your walky talkie, sarg . After following gill to his cell, our crew is taken to the source of the flood. Sex offenders, does that make you feel good . George graff, serving three years for Motor Vehicle theft, started the flood by overflowing his toilet. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. Hey, graff, go ahead and pull your seat away there, please. [ bleep ]. Im sorry . [ bleep ]. Why dont you [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. Are you flooding out here or what . [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. You know its not hurting my feelings. Then, Jonathan Hall, the inmate extracted the day before, rejoins the ruckus. With a prison camera outside his window to monitor his activity, he begins to yell at lockup cameraman brian kelly. We tried to talk to you, man. We tried. You guys are important to us as well. We try to get both sides. Thats what weve within trying to do. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. Thats what were trying to show. Come on out. I got it, i got it. Coming up we will not negotiate with terrorists the anger in ad seg intensifies. You know what, you want to think its [ bleep ] funny . [ paper rustling ] exactly, nothing. Theyre completely different people, thats why they need customized Car Insurance from liberty mutual. Theyll only pay for what they need [ gargling ] [ coins hitting the desk ] yes, and they could save a ton. Youve done it again, limu. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

Shortly after our arrival at the Limon Correctional Facility in colorado, two inmates in administrative segregation loudly protested our interview of a sex offender. One of them, george graff even flooded his cell by intentionally backing up his toilet. If you do not come to the door, we will introduce chemical agents. We will not negotiate with terrorists the prison special Response Team is called in to extract graff from his cell. When inmates dont cooperate, the team uses o. C. Gas, a form of pepper spray, to gain compliance. Uncover your window. Take a step back. Get on your knees in this case, graff will be moved to a stripped down cell until his can be cleaned and his behavior improves. This [ bleep ] sucks. But first, hes given the opportunity to shower off the stinging o. C. Gas. Afterwards, graff still blamed us for his actions. Thats the reasoning all of this is happening right there. The cameras. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. In every prison, filming in ad seg is a vital component to telling these stories. Because of all this commotion, the warden comes up and says we cant film there anymore. We had two offenders act out for the camera crew, to put a show on for the camera crew. Weve asked the camera crew to stop filming in segregation in order to calm these guys down. From this point on well assess whether well allow the camera crew to come back in to segregation. The next day, we learned more about the incident from another inmate, who had insights to share. Dan huff, serving nine years for aggravated murder. Is considered a leader among the prisons white inmates, including hall and grapf. Were now told we cant go into ad seg because it looks like were creating the problem. Tell me what you think that and whats happened. No, i dont think you guys have created it. I think those guys are young, and they wont listen to anybody unless youre white, unless youre you have authority. The reason they listen to me is because im their friend. But sex offenders that you guys have been interviewing, if they truly are, theyre some of them were caucasian and they hate that. They dont want them guys on camera. And thats where the problem arose, that they said oh, look, theyre representing us as were a bunch of the white dudes are a bunch of sex offender, child molesters, rapos, homosexual rats. You know, a whole laundry list of things. While the prison took disciplinary action against grapf and hall, huff claims he intervened as well. I called over there and said hey, you need to cut that stuff out because youre not making us look any better than those guys are. It doesnt take a big tough guy or a smart guy to get sprayed and drug out of your cell. And now youre raising hell with these people and making us look like idiots. Though things seemed to have calmed down in ad seg, prison officials still did not allow us back in right away. But two weeks later, we were told that the inmate we had been interviewing at the time, michael gill, had been injured. Little did we know a new drama was about to unfold. I was asked to get offender gill to bring him to medical. Hes declaring a selfemergency. He said he has a broken arm. Authorities told us that gills injury was the result of banging on his cell door when he was denied a shower. Ive been dealing with the offender through the hearings process, and ive actually developed a little bit of a rapport with the guy. Ive been able to talk with him in the past. I was hoping to go down with the sergeant and see if we could settle him down a little bit and get him over to medical where we can take a look at his arm, see whats going on. I dont think theyre going to let you in seg. Well, i always ask. I think could see him in medical . You might work on that as far as medical. I dont know, like i said, this guy does 180s. So this could work out, it might not. Its not worth getting somebody hurt over, though. Thats my concern is safety. With our crew and camera positioned outside ad seg, we picked up gill as he was escorted to medical and he immediately began accusing us of putting him in danger. He came out irate and spewing all sorts of things at us. He was very concerned that he was going to end up going back into his cell and inmates who may have seen him being filmed by us, were going to throw feces at him. Though gill consented to be filmed and requested to us leave, he grew more agitated as he made his way into the medical clinic. Now im going to get arrested. Nobody is going to do anything to you. Really . It was arn empty cell. That was going to be used, now im probably going to get [ bleep ]. I just got [ bleep ]. Listen, lets get your hand looked at. Gill was convinced he was going to be labeled as a snitch, so he kept threatening to hurt somebody to prove his reputation that he was a tough guy. Everyone wants to call me a snitch and a bitch for being on camera, and then you come over there, standing outside the door. People are on pod time. Now my life, if i go back to yard, is going to be in jeopardy. So im going to have to take someones life to earn some respect. I got four months till i go home and you guys are asking me to turn it into life. We really didnt know how the situation was going to turn out. He kept lashing out at everybody and at one point, thought an officer was looking at him funny and verbally attacked him. You know what . You want to think its funny about some i have to [ bleep ] gill, gill, gill, focus here. Focus here. In the midst of all this, this nurse comes in to address his medical problem, and shes very calm. And i expected him to have a worse reaction but it seemed to calm him down. Have you ever broken your hand before . Yes, several times. Every time a c. O. Pisses me off. Hurt here . Yeah. Does it hurt here . Yeah, all of it. Has it ever taught a c. O. A lesson . Ive never taken it far enough to teach them a lesson. She meant hitting the wall. Does it teach them a lesson when you hurt yourself . Tender right there. This one is fine. What was impressive to me about the staff is they deescalated the situation by calmly talking to him, engaging him in a conversation. Im not going to sit there and be [ bleep ] by inmates and not take it out on the staff. Gill, listen to me a minute. None of that has been determined. Were going to get through this. Lets get through this and then well deal with that, one step at a time. Right as theyre taking michael gills blood pressure, the lieutenant starts using humor to calm everything down. Thats pretty good actually. Thats pretty good. I wish i carried those numbers. Ive got karo syrup coursing through my veins. Mine aint anywhere near that good. I thought it was chocolate. Thats some of the finest german chocolate, too. Man. Four months left, and i tell you what. Well get through it. Ill probably end up catching 40 to life. No, you wont. Maybe 15 to 20, tops. Youll be all right. Once the tension was alleviated a little bit, they tried to get gill to see the bigger picture. In four months, this is all going to be over and done with. Just make the best of it. Its four months. What am i getting out to, a 10 an hour job . Whatever it is, its better than being in prison, isnt it . Not really. 10 an hour. Im going to go up to my girlfriend, im making 10 an hour. Are you proud of me . Yeah, come on. I dont have any goals. Shes going to be a lot prouder of you at 10 an hour than in here at 23 cents a day. Thats a fact. 10 an hour is not a goal. I might be able to afford a trailer park home at 10 bucks an hour. Lets bring this back to the progress right now. Were going get you back to your cell. What about [ bleep ] . If theres something that occurs in the future with other inmates, ill deal with that. So im supposed to wait till i get no, you need to do your own time until somebody else enters your world. But you do your own time. All right . Ill tell you what, theyre not going to follow you out of medical. I got these officers, they want to come [ bleep ]. Gill, were going this way. I think he was just more talk. He was one to make a verbal demonstration more than anything else. He made of verbal threats, but he really didnt physically demonstrate any desire to do anything aggressive. But he followed all of the instructions he was given and he was secured in his cell. A week later, prison officials allowed us back into the administrative segregation unit, where we conducted several more interviews without further incident. Even george grapf and Jonathan Hall agreed to interviews and allowed us to take footage of them. A few months later, michael gill was released on parole. Whoa, whoa, theres ice on the ground. I dont feel comfortable. Coming up when inmates are left to their own devices, the result can range from bizarre, to horrifying. Where do you want me . Get him up front. Get him on a gurney. Hey, who ar . Oh, hey jeff, im a car thief. What . im here to steal your car because, well, thats my job. What . What . . What . laughing what . . What . what . [crash] what . haha, it happens. And if youve got cutrate Car Insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. So get allstate. And be better protected from mayhem. Like me. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. And all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. Flonase sensimist. Run with us on a john deere 1 series tractor. Beacuse changing your attachments, should be as easy as. What about this . Changing your plans. Yeah. Run with us. Search john deere 1 series for more. Yeah. Run with us. I was tired of having my calls dropped. And then id heard i get apple music, and i said, boom vo the best network is even better with apple music on us. Plus save big when you switch. Only on verizon. Steven could only imaginem 24hr to trenjoying a spicy taco. Burn, now, his world explodes with flavor. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday allnight protection. Can you imagine 24hours without heartburn . Appearances and First Impressions are every bit as important behind prison walls as they are on the outside. And one of the most fascinating experiences we have in prison is seeing the different methods inmates use to create their own look. From intimidating to tantalizing to just peculiar. Something to do. Our crews have seen it all. Tattoos, however, arent the only tools in the toolbox. At indiana state prison, billy kyle, serving eight years on a drug dealing charge, likes to strut the yard with his grill. I like blue and white diamonds. Let me see you smile. Whats the deal with that . It was just something, you know, that we did on the streets, you know what im saying . Really a hood thing, thats all. How much are they worth . About 1,500. 1,500 . Yeah. We found that most women still like to feel like women in prison as well. Betty conley, serving life for murdering her husband, made that clear. She has turned her bunk into a salon, of sorts. I love makeup. Ive been into makeup since i was a little bitty girl. And im like dolly. The redder the better. The more the merrier. At the Limon Correctional Facility in colorado, we met inmates who have had more permanent transformations. Aaron cooper, serving 10 years for assault and escape, didnt stretch his ear lobes until he got to prison. Did it about four years ago when i was in ad seg. No reason, really. I just like the way it looked. It started with the tooth of a comb and started wrapping saran wrap about it and got it fatter and fatter. It took about eight months. This was bigger than i wanted to go, but these were the only things that were round enough that when the officers could take them, i could put more back in, just little plastic bottle caps. Tell me what the legality is here. There wasnt when i first started, but they passed a new ar. It goes under the tattooing writeup. But i dont ever wear them out of the cell block. It doesnt create any problems with the officers. I just wear them in here. I want them to be worn when i get out. I didnt want them to shrink back. I didnt want to do it all for nothing. But limon inmate derek webb, serving 10 years for vehicle theft and vandalism, took things to a whole new level. One that can best be described as reptilian. Tell them what happened. I was bored. Sitting in muni, nothing to do. And what happened . Cut wit a razor blade, my tongue. Are you happy you cut your tongue . I dont know. It aint nothing to be happy about, you know what i mean . Its like two years old. Its a little trippy at first, you know. But ive definitely got some weird responses from people. You know, why did you split your tongue . I dont know, im board, you know. Just something to do. You know, in a way, i guess its kind of taboo out there, you know what i mean. Coming up, our producer follows a trail of blood that leads to one of the most shocking scenes ever shown on lockup. We need to get him on the gurney, get him up front. We have another cut up here, guys. So, youre open all day, thats what 24 7 means, sugar. Kind of like how you get 24 7 access to licensed agents with geico. Hmm . Yeah, you just go online, or give them a call anytime. You dont say. Yep. Now what will it take to get 24 7 access to that lemon meringue pie . Pie pies coming thats what it takes, baby. Geico®. Great service from licensed agents, 24 7. What sore muscles . What with advpounding head . Advil is. Relief thats fast. Strength that lasts. Youll ask. What pain . With advil. Im dara brown with the hours top stories. Mouth of south bend indiana Pete Buttigieg officially kicked off his campaign sunday. Buttigieg raised 7 million while rising to third place in recent New Hampshire and iowa polls. And golfing legend tiger woods won his fifth Masters Tournament at Augusta National club on sunday. This comeback marks woods first major victory in 11 years, earning him his fifth green jacket. Now back to lockup. Due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. When our crews are filming inside high security prisons, they know that violence can erupt at any moment. While theyre prepared for it, when it happens it can still be shocking. During our extended stay shoot inside indiana state prison, we walked into one of the bloodiest encounters in lockup history. We were filming in one of the Housing Units and we heard a call come over the radio. Instantly, all Staff Members started running. We picked up our gear and ran with them. What is it . What is it . A fight. There was just a chaotic scene. By the time we got there, they were already pulling people out that were coming back from chow and they were trying to find a victim of what we thought at the time was a fight. I dont know who was involved. Was he involved . I dont know. I know. I just told these guys to hold up. Where is the guy that got stabbed . Immediately it just became a large crime scene. Theyre looking for a longhaired white guy. They say he got to main street. I looked over and saw our field producer take off and she had a little camera she was filming with and i didnt see who she was filming but i saw her make her way into the infirmary. I saw a man walking towards me and realized it was the victim for only one reason, there was blood on his shirt. And i saw blood drops coming from him, so i just started to follow him into the medical building. Where do you want me . I was a little shocked because every time they would remove another article of his clothing, there was a bigger and keeping gash. But the bizarre thing about it is, all he was concerned about was his tennis shoes. Dont throw them away. Theyre brand spanking new. Can you put them in a bag, please . We got another cut up here, guys. Okay. Well get you an ambulance. How bad . Is it worse than this . We need to get him on the gurney, though, get him up front. The nerve damaged . I dont know. I didnt know what happened. The fact that the wounds were so graphic, they actually had to be blurred, it was best for all. They were some of the worst wounds ive ever seen. Does it look all right . Wanna go for a ride . The victim, pat ellerman, serving 40 years for attempted murder, spent two weeks at a local hospital before returning to prison. His attacker, michael ray stafford, was found guilty of the stabbing at a disciplinary hearing and received extra time in the prison segregation unit. But no criminal charges were filed against him because ellerman refused to cooperate with the investigators. We caught up with ellerman on the day he returned to general population. After pat recovered from his injuries and we saw him back out on the yard, again, one of the first comments he made was about his shoes. See the blood on my shoes . Thats why i stopped fighting, because i seen blood on my shoes. Its indicative of prison life. You have so few personal items and you certainly dont have very many things that were brand new. These shoes were new. They were a symbol of him having some kind of success as a convict in prison and he wanted to keep them as pristine as possible, even during this horrific situation. Then we went back with him to his cell, at which point he took us on a tour of his injuries and how they were healing. I cant open my hands but its getting better. Ill get it back. I can still punch. I can close my fist, i just cant open it. I got stabbed in the stomach over here. Stabbed here. Got cut in my neck. Got my back cut and my legs, pretty much the worse one was on my leg. Eight inches across, four inches deep, almost to the bone. So can i throw out a hypothetical . Yeah. You got stabbed pretty bad. Yeah. Is this the end of it . No. If i ever see him again, i cant say nothing. Of course i cant say nothing. If i say no, im going to the hole. Guards aint going to want to hear im going to kill this guy. The next time i see him. I cant have him coming up behind me thinking im going to get him and doing this again. Just because hes thinking im going to get him back. Hes going to want to jump first. Well, i got to jump first, but im not gonna. I cant tell you im gonna, because ill be in seg. Im not mad at the guy. If more people would do what he did instead of this poking and running, this would be a different prison. Im not mad at this guy. Why . Was he justified in cutting you . No. But did he what he thought had to do. It could have been a lot worse. And im sort of impressed that he went that far. He could have cut me and ran, because i really got the best of the fight. No, no, no, i got the best of him. He got more injuries, but i didnt even know he had a knife while he was cutting me. I didnt know he had a knife. How could you not know . Because i was enjoying the fighting. I was when you hit somebody in the face hard, i get a thrill out of that. I dont know why. Do you know though, pat, how close you came to having Severe Damage or death . Yeah. I examined every wound individually. I know how deep they were. Its just, i got lucky. All my life, ive either been really lucky or no luck at all. Theres never been no in between. Never been no in between. This one alone, thats very close to the main artery. Yeah, would have been my ticket out. This is so embarrassing. Highlighter in a tampon. Illegal contraband with an x rating. Limus right.

Prison has a way of forcing convicts to find creative ways of meeting personal needs. The challenge is just as big for women as it is for men. When we arrived at the tennessee prison for women, we found that meeting personal needs had led to a dilemma for mary beth. They done wrote me up. What . What for . Special toy. What kind of special toy . Look, it says that they found a glove in two trash bags and a tampon. A tampon. Theyre trying to say i had a dildo. Sexual activity of any sort is against prison rules. And even though shes allowed to have the individual items she was caught with, she was written up for how they were assembled, or at least partially assembled. Im pleading not guilty because they have no evidence. When they found it, it was not intact, okay . What was you going to do with it . Everything that they have is things that i was allowed to have. But she did tell us that if she were going to make what shes accused of making, she has a good idea of how to do it. You have to have your marker to make it hard and you have to put your pads over it to protect it. As mary beth began her howto description, all i could think about is human nature and how when left without normal resources, want or need or desire will lead you to create something out of nothing. And you have to wrap it with a rubber band to keep it on there and then put your glove over it because its sanitary. And then your ace bandage is to strap it on. Her ingenuity has gotten her in trouble on the outside as well. Shes serving 12 years for i. D. Theft, forgery and burglary. Ive stolen approximately four to five peoples identities and i think ive gotten over 250,000. Ive gotten boats, ive gotten cars. She used to break into lockers at a local gym to find her victims. I memorized the Social Security number, i memorized your birthday, i memorized everything. I go into the bank, tell them im you and i need to draw some money out of the account. They give me what i want. They dont ask me for i. D. Because i got everything memorized. Even if they do ask me for i. D. , i got your drivers license. And if i dont look like you, ill make myself look like you. But she told us she did take some mercy on her victims. If i steal your purse, im going to leave your car keys, because i dont want you to be stranded. Now shes hoping for some sympathy herself as she faces a disciplinary hearing for allegedly possessing a homemade sex toy. Lets go see. Let me do my job. Shes assisted in her defense by an inmate advocate. This is so embarrassing. How do you plead . Not guilty. The hearing quickly turns to the evidence. And whether the sum of their parts equals a whole. Theyre not constructed together. The ace bandages were for my ankles. The glove was to clean my toilet. Trash bags we get every day and the tampons i get at the commissary. And what about the highlighter . I got that from field day. What were you doing with a highlighter in the tampon . I had no idea it was in there. Was it like this when you the way that the body of this writeup is, its making it sound like mr. Roundtree found an assembled sex toy. Im asking for a dismissal on this. The hearings officer, sergeant gooch, places a call to the officer who wrote the disciplinary report. Officer roundtree, you confiscated the items that she had, the highlighter and things of that . Right. Okay. When you collected the evidence on this, was this intact . The first time we saw her it was entact. When we went back in there, the rubber glove was taken off and i got everything and broke it down. May i ask you why you didnt collect the evidence when you first saw it . I mean we werent looking for that. What we was looking for was tobacco or Tobacco Products when we came across that. So it was your assumption that this was a sexual toy . Yes. Yes, it was. Okay. Anything else . Thank you, mr. Roundtree. If he was going to write her up, he should have collected that evidence right then and there and not gone back. Whether he was looking for tobacco or drugs or whatever, if he knew he was going to write her up, he should have gotten this intact thing that he saw, otherwise, its not what hes saying it is. Im asking for a dismissal. Moments later, sergeant gooch renders a decision. Okay, you plead not guilty. I find you guilty. You got the highlighter wrapped up in the tampon and looking at the shape of it, preponderance of evidence is that it shows there was use for something other than what the items were to be used for. All right, lets go. She receives 15 days in administrative segregation for the contraband charge. But for her, that might not be the worst part of the punishment. I mean, thats embarrassing. I would have rather been caught with a female. Coming up is it time for you to leave . An inmate struggles with reality. Before making a heartbreaking realization.

Behind prison walls. But the unexpected events we cover in prison are not always violent. Inside, close the door. Sometimes theyre just heartbreaking. During our initial scout at indiana state prison, our main goal was to get familiar with the prison prior to beginning formal production. But when we toured the chronic care unit, which houses mentally ill inmates, we walked in on a quiet drama. We were there for our scout week, which means we cant even have a sound guy with us. But when we came upon this scene, we knew we had to roll. We came upon this inmate, Michael Steele, who was sitting outside his cell with his items all packed up. He was convinced he was going home that day. And it was becoming a problem for the prison, because nobody could dissuade him from this notion. Ive been in prison since november 3rd, 1988. For a crime that i was charged with and im not guilty of. Okay. Whats going on today . Thats why im leaving prison. Is it time for you to leave . My prison time has expired. What are you doing sitting here . To be released from prison. How long have you been waiting here . Approximately 14 minutes. In reality, Michael Steele was nowhere near his prison release date. Hes serving 110 years for murder and attempted murder. Which one of these cells was yours . Where did you sleep at night when you were here . Did you sleep in one of these cells when you were here . The more i asked for details about him leaving, he started to shut down. It was almost as if i was breaking his belief system. The staff then started to move in and they were making it very clear to him that he was going to have to comply and go back into his cell. Hey, mike. Come on. I need you to go into your cell. Weve been standing around long enough. And once he was surrounded by all these Staff Members, everything just kind of fell apart for him and he broke down sobbing. And that was tough. That was really difficult to film because he was just broken. You know, it was just a sad, sad time. Eventually, prison staff had no choice but to physically carry steele back into his cell. Here we go. Come on, there we go. There we go. Dont hurt yourself. One, two, three, lift. Bring him in. He just kind of went limp and then they dragged him back into his cell, propped him up on his cot, and he just sat there. Just staring straight ahead. But looking very much like a broken man. We visited steele several weeks later. He agreed to speak with us about the incident we had filmed earlier. Both he and prison medical staff also gave us permission to air the footage we had shot of him. That day i saw you up here with your things packed ready to go home, did you believe in your heart you were going to go home . Yes. And what about now . I dont think so. So what do you think, do you think youre going to have to stay in this housing unit . I hope not. What do you want . I want to be released from prison. Prison psychologist reggie matias hopes steele will be well enough eventually to be transitioned to a less restrictive unit. We have a program where they work in general population, they do that for a week or so, maybe two. If it looks like its going well, then theyll move them up to a dorm and they can go to work from there. Essentially they would be discharged from the chronic care unit. I heard youve been doing much, much better these days. Im trying to. Yeah, good. The plan is as soon as you get back to your usual self, well get you back out there working. You worked in the kitchen, right . Yeah, i worked in the kitchen as a cook. I heard you were popular. Im the best cook over there. Thats what they said. They said they liked it when you were over there because all the food was good. Thats because i have a passion for cooking. But when the subject of getting a job in population arises, steele suddenly changes his tone and accuses dr. Matias of having deceived him. You lied to me so much in the past out there in population, that i dont know if i can trust you. Thats understandable. Now things look infinitely better. Trust is earned. As time goes on, i think youll see. You cant be trusted. Well, as time goes on, hopefully we can do things to change your mind. If somebody lies to me, i never trust them again. I guess that trust is earned. The main thing is we want to get you back out to population and back out working. Thats the goal. I think hes convinced i have been responsible for keeping him on a Mental Health unit. I guess hes right. I think if he were more open to us, we would have a better sense that it would be okay to put him back out there. Still playing chess . No. Someone told me you were a chess player. No, i dont know how to play chess. Really . They lied to you. We checked back on steeles progress several weeks later. He had been telling the staff that he was all ready to begin working in population. We made arrangements for him to do that. I believe they came to pick him up and he said no, im not going. So for now, hes going to stay on the chronic care unit and well go from there a sprawling southern family with a pair of church going grandparents at its heart. Theyre definitely the most loving individuals i have ever met in my life. There was no way it was supposed to end like this. She took me by the hand and said, sugar and charlie have been murdered. The former Church Deacon and his wife. Who on earth would want them dead . It doesnt make sense. They were loved by everyone. Everyone maybe, but their daughter who admitted to a bitter simmering dispute. Its been a long, like, family feud. De
