i put it as to attention sergeant price, explained the whole situation, how i got on p.c. without actually being told where i was going, just asking for another unit. this is not what i wanted at all. i didn t want to be locked up. coming up, the jail makes a decision on william jarrett. and hey, baby girl, how you doing? joseph mayberry makes contact with the one person who matters most. gentlemen. you look well. what s new, flo? well, a name your price tool went missing last week. name your what, now? it gives you coverage options based on your budget. i just hope whoever stole it knows that it only works at progressive.com. so, you can t use it to just buy stuff? no. i m sorry, gustav. we have to go back to the pet store.

it s been a long night for both staff and one inmate at sheriff al cannon detention center. earlier i just swallow a glass thing, and y all still won t give me my medication. joseph mayberry swallowed the arm of his eyeglasses because the jail would not give him the same medication his doctor prescribed on the outside. emergency room doctors were able to remove it, but now there s another problem. i ain t wearing that [ bleep ]. once he came back, he still wasn t going on suicide watch. i tried to talk to him. lieutenant tried to talk to him. it was just no giving in. mayberry refuses to exchange his clothes for the tear-proof gown inmates on suicide watch are required to wear. it s to assure they won t hang or otherwise harm themselves. he has to go into that suicide gown based on what he has done. he has to. there s no choice.
mayberry, officer lombardi fills the time by reading to him. i felt some compassion for him coming in to be in a little room day after day after day with very little interaction. and i read to him some articles from time magazine, and several people came up afterwards saying thank you because other inmates were listening. so it was kind of nice to feel a little bit more needed than just sitting there watching somebody. mayberry says he has suffered from mental illness since age 12. he is representative of a problem that is draining finances and resources from jails and prisons nationwide. some of them i think got in the system really early on and just have stayed in the prison system instead of getting any kind of care for their symptoms. dr. elizabeth leonard is the jail s psychiatrist.

to sit down and let the o.c. take effect, and he can think about how much the pain is. mr. mayberry, you ready to comply? no. no? okay. mr. mayberry, you ready to comply yet? no. why not? i want to talk to the lieutenant. he made me a deal. i want to talk to the lieutenant. after you change, we ll let you talk to the lieutenant. you think i believe that? yep. you promise me? yep. we went back in and asked him again. he decided to take off the sneakers and the shirt. and we gave him the gown. we took him in the shower, told him how to wash away some of the o.c. spray. coming through. when we place somebody, we strip them down, put them in a green smock, we put them in a room by themselves that they
