10:01 pm
i've already had to go through several layers of steel doors that close and open behind you. >> correct. >> i mean, frankly, i don't even know if i'm going to get out. now, where are we? what are we approaching right now? this looks like some kind of guard -- >> right, this is what we call a housing unit. this is a tower set up for us, we have a tower in the middle. since this is closed custody it's manned by three officers. we do security walks every 25 minutes and when they're in the housing units they have to have two officers when they're with that custody level of an inmate. >> are all the corrections officers here female that deal with the females? >> no, not necessarily. we do have male officers that work here. they are pretty much limited to towers.
10:02 pm
they can walk in the housing units. they're just not assigned to dormitories. >> now, let me just digest that a moment. they're mostly limited to the towers? >> there are mostly female staffed here, however, we do have a small section of males that work here. there are some places they can work. they can work in the tower because they're not in their dormitory, which would be them disrobed at any one time. they might be disrobed in their cells. however, there's usually a door and the officers are trained to just do the security walk. >> try to stay clean. try ton go back to -- as soon as i'm -- like i was saying on the camera earlier, as soon as i leave here it's just a bus ride away till i hit the pipe again. crystal meth is my drug of choice. just try to stay clean. call someone, get someone to stand by me and keep me locked up out there, you know. on a chain or something where it's harder to get -- slower to get there by the time you get to the drugs. >> so to me, you sound like
10:03 pm
you're still addicted. >> i know i'm addicted. >> okay. >> i know i'm addicted. >> is anybody else still addicted to something? >> very much. >> what? >> crystal meth. >> ecstasy. crystal meth, ecstasy. >> okay. i've never done any drug at all. not even weed. so what does meth do to you? because i'm sure you've seen the before and after pictures. >> yeah. >> have you seen that? they look like a living skeleton, with like scabs all over their face and their teeth are falling out, all of that. you've seen it, right? >> it was a sexual thing for me when i did it. >> what now? >> it was a sexual thing for me when i did it. >> what? >> meth. >> i know, but what? >> sexual -- what do you mean, sexual? what? >> just to have sex. that's what it was about. >> you mean getting -- it makes the sex better? >> everything. both. >> how does it make the sex better? >> your whole body's more -- experiment more. you're more sensual. your touch is a lot more sensitive than it normally is.
10:04 pm
>> sometimes i don't get like that. >> i do. >> sometimes i'm real evil. >> i'm sensing that. i'm getting that whole evil vibe thing. >> i'm a really good person. i'm really funny, too. i'm really funny. >> i keep feeling the evil. i do not want to see you on meth. >> it's in my police report, which i'm pretty sure you read. >> yeah. but right now you just seem so sweet. >> i'm like the coolest person ever. i will like have you 100% -- >> but i get the feeling you on meth that's a whole other thing. >> no, no. i'm just incredibly freaking -- what's his name? like hail hitler kind of way. i'm not good on it. my family hates it. >> but is it in you that you think about it when you're behind bars and you want it? >> no, you don't think about it. i don't start thinking about it until -- it's like a feeling you crave as soon as you hit outside. as soon as i hit outside it's like what could you do now? instead of like going to your
10:05 pm
mom's or going to the clinic or something, you want to go back to that night you were arrested. that's how it feels for me. >> i want to go back to that -- >> that's how it always feels for me. >> do not go back to the party. >> nobody's around anymore. >> but when i first started doing meth, it was to lose weight. >> you know, their minds -- >> did you say they need it? >> i know i need counseling. >> you need it. >> i might have said that. >> uh-huh. >> to me -- >> i got that. >> to me this is -- >> i know when i walk out i'm not doing nothing. i'm good. i'm good. i won't even drink. >> this place is as neat as a pin. >> that's a female housing unit. we actually get lucky. the females usually keep it clean.
10:06 pm
>> do they have to keep it clean themselves? >> yes, we have trustees that work in the kitchen, in the hallways. the inmates of course that are unsentenced are not authorized out here. but out at the tents where you're going to be later all the trustees live throughout and they have their jobs in here. of course we have mail trustees. females come in here, serve food, clean up the housing units, mop the floors, stuff like that. >> male trustees come in here? >> no. males are at the male facilities. >> males come in here -- recipe for trouble. >> before, we had a hallway of males and a hallway of females and we were like traffic police. we had to stop the boys and -- >> a lot of time that i am missing with my children, although they know i love them i'm not your average drug addict. i'm intelligent and articulate and i have all the tools that i need in order to succeed. i just never bothered to do so. i've tried but i've failed repeatedly. so i think it's really important to me to show my children that i can succeed, that i'm not a
10:07 pm
failure, that i do love them. that even though mommy was there all the time she wasn't the best mommy that she could have been. and their dad's in prison. he's doing ten years. so you know, they don't even know what it's like to have a stable household. except for through foster care. and i'm thankful for that, but i would like to be able to provide them the stability of a mother, that a mother is supposed to. so those are my two biggest things, my kids and sign language are probably the two biggest things that are the most important to me. >> why did you plead instead of going to trial? >> at the end of the day if you lose that trial sometimes you're look at more time than you would. >> you are looking at more time. >> you know what i'm saying? so i just thought it was in my best interest to take the first plea. some people don't take the first plea. they wait for the second. and the second one's worse than the first one. and i didn't want to take that risk. >> well, i remember when i was first prosecuting, i would give the first plea offer and i would
10:08 pm
give them another plea counter like two weeks to decide if they wanted it or not. but then when i had to start working the case up, like going out on the street finding witnesses, sending out subpoenas, going to the crime lab, me going out taking pictures, the more i worked the case the higher the deal would be. because that's taking me off cases like rape cases and murder cases, child molestation cases that i really needed to work on. so the more they took me off those the higher that plea -- i'd start off fairly, you know, in the ballpark. >> at least you think about child molestation. >> say what? >> they don't think about that in this state. >> first time you get caught on child molestation you get off on probation. >> and then -- >> not in my courtroom, i'm proud to say. >> in california, they are not allowed to walk the yard with regular people here in prison in arizona, when everybody is out they could be walking right among you. >> you see like so many men they call them -- i forget what they call them, knocks here.
10:09 pm
in court you see knocks just full and full of nothing but child crimes. and they're laughing and all going on probation. then you see somebody here with a meth addiction and they're getting sent five years in prison. >> let me ask you a question. and i'm not asking about you in particular. but have you ever seen a case where somebody got, quote, jailhouse justice like a child molester got an ass whipping behind bars for being a child molester? >> i haven't seen that. >> i've seen it -- i don't know. i've seen it a lot -- >> in the female -- >> in jail or prison? >> either one. >> in prison, yeah. very much. >> over here's a joke. these girls are scared to lose their canteen. they're finding -- never mind. they're finding other -- you meet other things. people come to jail and get scared. they do, but they talk a lot. you see all the -- in the day room, they talk big crap, but when it comes down to it they have no unity, and when somebody comes in that has a horrible crime and the cops raise their
10:10 pm
voice just another level, they all are scared. >> they'll be at each other's face one day and give it a day and a half they're like buddy-buddy again. it's like we just got on restriction because you were fighting and now you want to be buddy-buddy. >> all the cops do is mention restriction and the girls just -- >> buckle up. because everybody wants their food. >> they will hang out with somebody that molests kids or killed a baby, but they want to say, oh, that's wrong. but you're sitting here hanging out with somebody that seriously like did something disgusting to their child? >> maximum is supposed to be for dangerous inmates, violent crimes, and we've got prostitutes coming in, people for sales, and then you've got people facing really high-profile crimes and going out for a lot of time and our mentality is totally different from somebody that's facing like one year in prison to 20 years in prison. that's where a lot of animosity happens because you've got this girl complaining all day long about something you're going home to and you're going to come
10:11 pm
back anyway because we're going to see you six months later because you're going to go out and do the same thing and you've got people that are facing a long amount of time. and that's where most of the fights break out, is the different mindsets. it's supposed to be -- classification is supposed to be completely different here, but it's not. because still everybody together. and it's different. i mean, you can't have somebody have a conversation when they're facing this and you've got somebody facing this. >> it's hard. >> and they're on it constantly nagging and you keep telling them over and over we don't want to hear about, this we don't want to hear about this or we don't know. you try to say it in the nicest way and finally somebody flipped out because they've got so much frustration, like shut [ muted ] up about this stuff. like really? why is she even in the pod with us? like it is a constant battle with the cops, too, they keep getting girls that want to roll out of the pod. and cops can't move a person just because she wants to. there has to be a significant reason. they're giving attitude all the time. they feel like they're getting picked on.

all of the above. we have a fencing system. as you noticed there was nothing really outside. there's no trees, no shrubs to hide behind. there's a blank area. there's bright lights. if you come here at 10:00 it will be you're like at a movie theater it's so bright. well, probably not a movie theater, that's kind of dark. but it's pretty bright. spotlights. and our officers walk every 25 minutes in a circle and check everybody there. that's the first line of defenses, the officer making sure that everybody that's supposed to be there is there. you've got to get down this long narrow hallway. you've got to get through the big steel doors you gothrough and there's another door behind that one. you've got to wait for it to close. there's a lot of different safety levels you have to go through. >> the biggest clue, the biggest giveaway something's going to happen is when you have a lot of eyes on you. you'll be sitting there watching your housing unit and you'll notice every inmate's watching you. that's because they're looking out, they're trying to see what you're going to do and where you're going to be. and they'll try to go in an area that may not be in direct view of your eyes.
10:46 pm
and when they do that they usually will put pointers out. they'll put inmates in certain sections to stand watch and let them know the officers are coming. so an officer has been trained to pay attention that if an inmate has been standing there for a while watching them and half the room has moved this way obviously there's something going on. what do women want? this is genesis. she likes men completely hairless and, no, she doesn't think that's weird. i don't. whatever style she likes, make sure it looks perfect. trim, shave and edge with the proglide styler. gillette. the best a man can get. ♪ je t'adore ♪ c'est aujourd'hui ♪ ♪ et toujours ♪ me amour ♪ how about me?
