While another awaits sentencing for an unthinkable crime. A young lady was assaulted. Drug behind the library. Beaten within an inch of her life and brutally raped. If it was a crime to be in love then im guilty because im in love with you. An alleged murderer and rapist seeks a lover and benefactor. Scary is not the word but gives you the creeps. Oi gives you the creeps with an average of 361 days of sunshine per year, life in tampa, florida, would seem like paradise. But crime knows no geographical bounds. On any given day, the two sprawling facilities that make up tampas Hillsborough County jail system house roughly 3,000 men and women. Your hands should be on the wall. Most only stand accused of crime and are awaiting trial. Others are serving short sentences of one year or less. They all begin their incarceration in the jails intake department. But the crimes theyre associated with range from horrific to petty and everything in between. Im very photogenic. Deandre barnes was just arrested on charges of cocaine and Marijuana Possession with intent to sell. He plans to plead not guilty. Melissa, who was that . My baby mama. Your baby mama. You got that drama . If he seems at ease here, it might be because this is barnes third stay at Hillsborough County. Slide all the way back. Barnes is already familiar with the fullbody scan chairs and facial scanners used to detect weapons or other contraband that might be hidden inside body cavities. Barnes. I know youre barnes. Go ahead, sir. Welcome back. I said i wasnt going to come back, and im back. I let myself down. Yeah, it still looks the same. I guess ill make my bed up. Though barnes has been arrested a half dozen times, the charges havent always stuck. He only has one prior conviction for obstructing a Law Enforcement officer. Coming to jail i aint going to lie, its like, damn, how the hell am i going to get myself out of this situation, and how long my going to be here . Barnes hopes to leave jail within a couple of days on bail. But life at Hillsborough County is a world of extremes. Another young man confined here faces the possibility of never seeing home again. All i have to do is use this time as best i can and hope i get out. 19yearold Kendrick Morris was found guilty on two counts of Sexual Battery with a deadly weapon. He is awaiting sentencing. Prosecutors are asking for 120 years. A young lady was simply going to the community library. And was she was assaulted, drug behind the library, beaten within an inch of her life, and brutally raped. After morris had been taken into custody for the library attack, authorities connected him to another assault that had occurred ten months earlier. Hed actually been the assailant in another rape of an elderly day care worker. Morris was also convicted of that crime and is now in jail awaiting sentencing. He still claims hes innocent. They say anything else, Armed Robbery or Something Like that, maybe i probably will say im capable of it. But rape, no. Attacking a girl, no. Hitting a girl, no. At the end of the day, thats just not me. After looking back on the case and how we handled it in defense and how our closing statement was, the jury had no choice but to say guilty in the end. We didnt do a good job of coming out with the evidence. Our final statement wasnt concise. It wasnt even clear. And so, i mean, all they could have said was guilty. The library victim who was 17 at the time of the attack was beaten so badly she sustained brain damage and can no longer see, walk, or talk. My daughter and stepdaughter go to the library where this occurred. This crime that he was convicted of happened less than a mile from where i live. And the community, obviously, is happy to have someone like him off the streets. As a father and member of the community, its difficult to keep that separation between my professional and personal self. I try to focus on the fact that he is not a management problem. Hes actually, ill use the term, hes a model confinement to me. Never gives us any problems and does everything asked of him. The requirements of my profession is to treat him no differently than i would a petty thief, and that takes practice. It really does. Morris was arrested when he was 16 and has been at the jail for three years now. He is housed in the confinement unit. Because of the nature of his crime. If word got out that he had brutally assaulted an elderly woman and a young girl and beat the young girl into a vegetative state, he would probably suffer a similar fate. Its a situation we cannot risk. We could be held liable for not protecting him. So for that reason, hes kept here. Morris gets an hour of recreation time outside his cell six days a week. To pass the rest of the time, he exercises, reads and draws. I draw because at the end of the day i can walk out of here right now and i can probably have a job or something i could do that would make me money. I could do something. I could be worth something. I want to do a religious piece where the mother was the main character. It was after one visit when mom was crying or whatever. How many times would anyone have thought about how that affected the mother where she has to have her child tooken away or whatever. Coming up well be moving our most problematic inmates today. The majority of the inmates housed down there are those with histories of assaulting us and are disciplinary management problems. The jail performs a highrisk move of dangerous inmates. And later when i first met inmate josh, he gave me that back of the neck hair standing up vibe. I will be willing to try to kill any and everyone that talks to you or looks at you.

Yeah like many other newly arrived inmates at the Hillsborough County jail in tampa, florida, Deandre Barnes is going through drug withdrawal. I told the nurse that i was coming down off of rushes, and about five or six of them a day. And he told me, he was like, use this chance to get clean because its messing up my heart. Almost two years. 20 months he said. 20 months. I go through this all the time. All the time i battle with this, come down, having to worry about getting just a little bit not to be sick. How you feeling off your detox . Miserable. Yeah, miserable. I feel sick. I feel my stomach hurting but its all right, its all good. Its going to get worse, though. As the days go. Your fourth or fifth day is going to be the worst. I have no appetite. You probably wont. You wont. Youll probably want to sleep for a few days. Rather than sleep barnes has decided to focus on getting out of jail. The first step is calling a bail bondsman. Yeah, my name is Deandre Barnes. Im in jail for two felonies and two misdemeanors. Barnes bail has been set at 26,000. He will be released if he can pay a bondsman 2,600 plus collateral. 2,600. He just hung up. Barnes next reaches out to a family member. Okay, well, can you just call my dad and tell him to look for someone who has collateral . I really appreciate it. Ill check back in with you tomorrow. All right. I need somebody with collateral. Until he makes bail barnes will reside in one of the jails lowsecurity housing units. But some inmates pose a greater threat to security. Theyre housed in the confinement unit where theyre locked down 23 hours a day. Today 180 will be moved to a new newly refurbished confinement unit. And staff is taking an abundance of caution. Good morning. Today well be relocating the inmates from 3 delta to 1 delta, concluding the house of for refurbishment. We will be moving our most problematic inmates today. As you know the majority of inmates down there have histories of assaulting us and are disciplinary management problems. You guys will have binder chains available to you unless they require a box chain. Theres about ten of them down there that will be in box chains, twoman escort. With inmates that are more high risk, were going to do it in numbers. At least two deputies, sometimes three, maybe four. Just grab a set of chains. 205, one man. 206 has assaulted us before. Twoman with a box chain. One of the inmates on the move is esteban murchon. I got into some trouble since ive been here with the guards. Guess you could say ive attempted to batter one of the deps. They say i try to beat him up but it was, i guess you could call it, a misdirected anger. Hes more likely just combative. So we have to be more cautious with him. He was identified not only as a certified member of the bloods but a highranking member. He has been charged with three counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Hes pled not guilty to all charges. Im not a killer. Im a fighter, im not a killer. Im a goto man. I like money. I like the finer things in life. Im a pretty boy in the streets. Thats what i am. You got your pillow in there too . Yeah. The inmates are moved in small groups with a team of deputies assigned to each individual. 1 delta, 51 with the next group. Its about a 600yard walk from housing unit 3 delta to 1 delta but theres no rushing. Were not here to do it quickly. Were here to do it safely and thoroughly. 1 delta, were about 30 seconds. Safety is always a priority. And the refurbished housing unit has several security enhancements. Thats a 12yearold building that we moved out of. This is a brandnew building. Some of the things they incorporated into the new housing unit is new technology and door controls. I think it will make it safer. Merchan approves of some of the changes as well. Its nicer, ill tell you that much. Go ahead and take off your uniform. Overall the best change i like is the uniform. I guess they decided to have us wear red since were in confinement. I was getting tired of orange. Making me feel like an orange pumpkin. I mean, im a blood. Right . So my favorite color is red overall. The bloods wear red. Feel me . So it makes me feel comfortable, more comfortable. It brings a smile to my face. Look at my cheeks. In addition to his history of assaulting staff, his gang affiliation is another reason hes in confinement. If you openly throw up gang signs, mention youre in a gang or give the appearance of trying to recruit for your gang youll be confined in here. Thats what society calls us, a gang. I tell you right now im not a gang member. I dont gang bang. Im part of a brotherhood, a nation. This is my church, this is my religion. This is what i believe in. You feel me . I am a blood. I swore to myself this is what im going to do for the rest of my life. Coming up, an accused murderer and rapist seeks a relationship. On the back it says, p.

Sonya is concerned about the effect her recent arrest is having on her family. Shes in jail for violating her probation on a cocaine possession conviction. I have two girls and i dont want to be a role model having my girls thinking that its cute to go to jail or use drugs or depend on a man. I dont want them to make the same mistakes ive made. Theres no way in hell. Tell me what keeps bringing you back here. The drugs, to be honest with you. Sergeant sarah herman takes a personal interest in many of Hillsborough Countys female inmates and wants to discuss her plan to get back on track. Im ready for a change and im ready to be with my babies and my family. How old are your children . My daughters 4 and my other one is 3 and my son just turned 14 thursday. What is going to keep you other than your kids, from not coming here again . Im willing to change. Whats your plan . My plan is to actually complete my ged, go finish school, and find me a job to keep myself busy and occupied. Thats the key, ive realized. She says she didnt start taking drugs until she was 24 and addiction quickly took over her life. Each day you have to choose and decide, what is sonya going to do today . If it didnt feel right, if you feel it in your gut, leave. Run, run, run. Im happy to see youve got your mind set on doing the right thing. I thank you and appreciate it. No problem. Thanks. She had a fiveyear suspended prison sentence and was in a courtordered Drug Treatment Program when she took a methadone pill and failed a drug test. I want to make sure you dont come back here anymore. I threw it all away just to get high one time, being it was my birthday. Because it was my birthday, im thinking let me get high. Im going to get away with it. It wasnt like that. She further violated her probation by leaving the Treatment Facility after failing the drug test and now she may have to serve her fiveyear suspended prison sentence. Im nervous about going to court. Its really basically up to the judge. And that kind of scares me. Because maybe she can have a bad day or be just fed up of me bsing her and send me up the road. Most Hillsborough County inmates live with similar anxieties. As the decision of a judge or jury will impact their lives forever. But each day theres one event that can temporarily take their minds off the uncertainties of their future. Mail call. You get your mail . Not yet, man. I wish. Thats for you. This is very important to them. This is their communication to the outside when theyre not using the telephones. When they dont have visitation. This is what theyve got. But not everyone is lucky enough to receive mail. Kenneth jackson says he rarely hears from his family or anyone else. It would be nice to get mail coming in. It dont have to be every day, it dont have to be once a month. It can just be every now and again. Just get a letter from someone say be, look, how you doing . Everything going great . Kenneth jackson, year ive been back here, hes got one letter since ive been back here. When jackson got a love letter it was a welcome surprise. I see a sweet person inside you. You must have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least you have got me on your side if that means anything. I hope you write me back soon and keep your sexy ass out of trouble. Love always. And on the back it says, p. S. , i want to be the girl in your dreams tonight. Only god can judge us in big bold letters. The letter is from a female inmate jackson says he met at court. He says she was in a holding cell and they communicated using jailhouse sign language. I signed to her my name and booking number, and she somehow or other got a letter to me. Actually when i got it i was shocked by it. The personal stuff she put in there and she dont know me, know what i did or my charges or nothing. If she had known his charges jacksons pen pal may have thought twice about writing. I was accused of raping and killing and burning a woman inside her vehicle. But i did not do this. Why rape someone when you can go out there and give just 20 and get what i want . Jackson was arrested on murder, Sexual Battery and arson charges only two months after finishing a fiveyear prison sentence for grand theft of a motor vehicle. Hes pled not guilty to the latest charges and has been at the jail for three years awaiting trial. When i first met inmate jackson, he gave me that back of my neck hair standing up kind of vibe. After 17 years in Law Enforcement, master Deputy Stephen gray has learned to trust his instincts. His First Impression was supported when he looked at jacksons paperwork. Inmate jackson has got a rap sheet of everything from insolence toward Staff Members, you know, verbally, sometimes physically. To, your, kicking on the door, violent behavior. If you add all that up, 15, 16 pages worth, it literally spells out lockdown for his duration of his time of his stay here at Hillsborough County. In the meantime jackson can only write to his new pen pal. It says, whats up, my true love . Babe, you have
