years. i ll advise you, mr. leija, this is a final sentence of judgment of the court. you are entitled to file application for leave to appeal. love you, mama. i was working on an apology, but i didn t appreciate what she said. i understand she wrote it to me, okay. but it s different when you read it out loud in front of all those people. i m definitely not going to give you an apology now because you was out of line when you said that. i understand you want to express yourself, that s your right. i m not going to tell you sorry though. i was planning on it. that ain t going to happen no more.
i have not been outside and breathed the air. this is the air i m breathing, from these vents. as an adult, leija has had prior convictions for possession of marijuana and assault and battery. before that, he had numerous stays in the county s juvenile facility. i already had my hands on a gun at a very young age. like i grew up too fast, man. running is streets, smoking weed, stealing cars. a lot of people said my mom wasn t a good mom, my dad wasn t a good father. that s not what i m saying. i m saying i wasn t the best kid, you know. roll, salad, cake. same thing we get every day. that s why we re fat. we are. we re the fat group. over in the women s wing of the jail, vicki groth admits she hasn t always been the ideal good kid either. while her crime didn t physically injure anyone, it might have still been painful for her young victims. i feel bad for what i did, not for what i did, who i did it
what about it do you like? the part you almost get caught, if you do get caught, you get to see if you can run and get away. groth describes herself as a kleptomaniac. i do it for the thrill of it. i have money to buy anything i want. i can take it, get away with it, that s the rush. i make out like a bandit. i am pretty good at what i do. groth has also been good at getting caught. she has six prior theft-related convictions, as well as convictions for drug possession and assault. is there treatment for kleptomania? you know, i don t know. i should probably check that out. how are you going to stop stealing? keep my hands in my pockets. that s the only thing i can think of. coming up hey. hi. how you doing? vicki groth gets a visit from her family. it s just weird for me, having like a family member who i can t like trust, you know? joe leija goes to court and gets an earful.
you shot my son. rot in hell, mr. leija, because that s exactly where you deserve to be. and i was a deputy sheriff here at kent county for about five years. i worked in training, i worked as a corrections officer. he once patrolled these housing units. now he stands accused of a heinous crime. so being cool comes naturally. hmm. i can t decide if this place is swag or bling. it s pretzels. word. ladies, you know when you switch, you get my bomb-diggity discounts automatically. no duh, right? [ chuckles ] sir, you forgot keep it. you re gonna need it when i make it precipitate. what, what? what?
all the way at the desk there, guys. the kent county jailhouses about 1,000 men and women. some of them have been convicted but most are only charged with crimes and are awaiting trial with the resolution of their cases. any problems? no problem, sir. captain randy demery has been confronting problems for 25 years he worked at the jail. i ve got a good friend of mine that says the thing that makes corrections so easy is that all you have to do is to get voluntary compliance out of a bunch of people who have already proven that they will not voluntarily comply with the rules of society. so, it s a piece of cake. and we re in a position where we can get to a very large degree voluntary compliance out of that group of people, so actually the challenge of that is rewarding and fun. some challenges like those presented by joe leija can take longer to resolve than others. joe leija doesn t come across as a dangerous guy.
