past. but when lawlessness cross the line from fantasy to reality, there's a place eight miles outside downtown, more than willing to accommodate offenders. the hillsboro county jail is actually kproezed of two sprawling facilities. with an average daily population of more than 3500 men and women. >> fall kenburg road jailhouses up up to 3300 inmates. it takes a little bit if you are walking to get from one point ought other so we like to to utilize golf carts. depending on where i'm going or what my function is when i get there if i have to be there in a hurry, i definitely use the cart. if i'm going two housing units down, i will usually walk and get some exercise. >> four miles away is the orient road facility where up to another 1700 inmates can be housed. both facilities are run by a former secret service agent,
3:03 pm
determined to bring the experience he learned guarding a vice president, to the job of overseeing thousands of inmates. >> traveling around with vice president cheney taught me more than anything the self-discipline qualities i need to success here. and much of what i have learned there helped me in running the jails. >> we run a pretty orderly op ralgs here. the inmate behavior for the most part is not cause of concern. we look around the country where violence is widespread. that is not a problem we typically deal with here on a regular basis. >> but everyday, about 150 new arrestees from more than two dozen law enforcement agencies are processed through the orient road intake facility. and the potential for violence is always present. >> can never let your guard down here. if you let your guard down, as soon as you do, that's when something bad happens.
3:04 pm
that's when makes booking unique. it is just the fact that you are dealing with them right as they're coming in. they're real agitated, scared, confused. you will have a room here and 40, 50, a hundred pim. just by looking, you never know what they are in here for. never judge a book by its cover. one guy who like he is here for murder might be in here for a joint and the little old lady might be in here because she killed her husband. you never know. >> unlike prison where inmates are convicted, most inmates stand accused of crime and are held while cases their make way through the legal system. but once a day, a bus load of state prison inmates arrives. most are appealing convictions for sentences. and will remain here until the appeals are settled in nearby courts. >> some of these inmates come back from state prison and they have boxes and boxes of legal

3:08 pm
you would only think, he is up to no good as far as filing fake tax returns to get money. it could be huge. >> so huge it doesn't take word of the tax returns to reach the top of the hillsborough county jail system. they don't know why he has the returns or that he is involved in anything wrongful, but the possibility of misconduct concerns them. >> one of the things that i did during the time i was assigned as secret service agent in tampa was investigate bank fraud and identity theft. i dealt with people who were ruined. it is the most underrated crime in this country. >> he arrives with that kind of information and that kind of personal data about what could potentially be dozen of innocent people. we take that very seriously. >> coming up -- >> all this is part mif paperwork. >> brian singleterry continues his disruptive behavior. >> relax. bring the tone down a little

murder in tampa. prosecutors say the victim was beaten, stabbed and burned alive. she is not charged with murder but helping cover it up afterwards tp she is pleading not guilty. >> i'm charged with accessory to first degree murder after the fact. i guess a lot of it has to do with the company you keep. >> and the company she once kept included four adult men who lived with her and her three-year-old son in this two bedroom apartment. all four men have also been charged for various roles in the murder. >> this case is interesting because there's four or five co-defendants in there. and they all have a different story about what happened that night of crime or that morning of the crime. so it is a very tangled web of things. it is kind of something that maybe you would see on tv or a movie. you got a bunch of moving parts to this crime, and it'll be something to see how it plays out in court. >> one of those co-defendant says casey akerman who was demario's live-in boyfriend at

>> had his shirts off, showing tattoos off to the guys, then he was showing them off to me. >> would you describe him as a jealous person. >> yeah. >> demario claims not long after brewer's arrival, she went out for the evening. >> next thing i know, the police be knocking on the door in the morning and i answered the door. when i answered the door, they said that we need to come in for questioning for murder. and ways really surprised. i was like, where? who in who who got murdered? >> prosecutors say departicularo not only knew about the murder but helped clean up the blood afterwards and then covered for some of hroommates who committe the murder. >> akerman says he had nothing do with it. >> we are drinking, doing pills, smoke pot. just different stuff inside the apartment. and i fell asleep on the couch watching a movie.
3:17 pm
i didn't hear no commotion or nothing going on. >> if akerman and demario are found kbilt guilty it may be due in part to demario's 19-year-old son david link. he accepted a plea deal for his part in the murder. and is cooperating with prosecutors. >> i'm getting charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder and they are going to give me 34.5 months for all five years probation. >> i told them everything i saw, everything i knew what happened. i feel like i did the right thing. >> link is in a separate housing unit at hillsborough county jail where he will serve out his sentence. he told prosecutors that his mother was not out as she claimed but was in the apartment during the entire ordeal and that akerman initiated the attack after the victim fell asleep in the bedroom. >> i just heard some bang around. i didn't know exactly what was

3:19 pm
image. >> within seconds the dumpster was in plaflames and brewer was incinerated. >> were you aphrafraid of casey? >> that night, yeah. >> what were you afraid of? >> of getting stabbed. i didn't have anything on me. >> link is eligible to serve his time in a dorm with fewer restrictions. that frustrates casey akerman. >> he is in jail right now and they keep me behind this door. it's not right, you know what i'm saying? i feel like i'm being punished and at this point all can i do is prepare my mind for the worst and hope for the best. >> you going to be all right? >> in the next cell over, brian singleterry is in confinement.

i wish my patients could see what i see. ♪ that over time, having high cholesterol plus diabetes... or high blood pressure... or family history of early heart disease... can put them at increased risk for plaque buildup. and they'd see that it's more important to get their cholesterol where their doctor wants. and why for these patients, when diet and exercise alone aren't enough, i prescribe crestor. adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol by up to 52%. and is also proven to slow plaque buildup. [ female announcer ] crestor is not right for everyone. like people with liver disease... or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. simple blood tests will check for liver problems. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. or if you have muscle pain or weakness. that could be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. is your cholesterol where your doctor wants? ask your doctor if crestor is right for you.

3:46 pm
>> i didn't know what it was. i stuck it in my stuff. >> you think that guy you were holding it for, your buddy is that what he's into? >> i guess. >> you're an educated guy. >> but it would be an opinion. >> i'm saying educated guess. >> if that's what he do. >> one plus one is equaling two. >> i'm saying as far as i'm concerned. >> i already know. my gut feeling is if he's not running the tax scam he has close associates up in state prison that are doing this. >> you want to know about the tax forms. make it easy for me. >> he's willing to give us information but of course with brian singletary he wants something in return and what he's wanting is something i can't give him and that's help on his appeal is why he is in state prison right now and that can't happen. as of right now it's pretty much a dead issue with brian singletary unless i'm hoping he gets second thoughts and maybe in two or three days he puts in the word he wants to talk again.
3:47 pm
