violence in the jails is unacceptable on any level by any person. >> mcdonald wants a new story to be told, one that puts the scandal in the past and the jail's enormous challenges in the spotlight. like managing seven separate facilities across 4,000 square miles. and then there's the crumbling infrastructure. built in 1963, men's central jail is the oldest building and most run down. deputies must rely on an outdated system of levers and pulleys to open and close cells. keys date back to the same manufacturer as alcatraz. and the most violent offenders are housed on antiquated tiers. >> when we go down this tier, i'd like to walk to the right. this is a segregation unit for high-security inmates. it's open bar. nowhere in america do you see open bar maximum security, but that's what this is.
