chicago's cook county jail. home to 10,000 detainees. and all hell is ready to break loose. >> the gangster disciples, the biggest criminal organization inside and outside the jail, is headed towards civil war. >> go ahead. stand by. it's in security, right? >> investigator drake carpenter and adrian sandoval are about to launch a search with their fellow officers. it's one of many tactical measures they take on a regular basis. >> sounds like there's guys in

the big room. >> to make sure that a jailhouse war never erupts. >> you want us to go in first, secure the dayroom, you guys go straight to 16? then i'm ready. you guys ready? you ready? let's do it. get on the bars right now! get on them bars. let's go. >> get on them bars! you ever worked with the police before or no?

how many? >> a lot. you ready? let's get in. get on the bars! right now! get on them bars. let's go! >> get on these bars. >> get off your ass and get on these mother [ muted ] bars. get off that [ muted ] phone and get on these bars. you're going to hang up when i tell you to hang up and do what you're told. follow orders. if you don't like it, i'm what you're looking for. put your hands behind your back. it is what it is. [ dog barking ] >> carpenter and sandoval, part of the criminal intelligence unit, or ciu, have prpd in thousands of tier searches to

date. >> get me 19. unlock 19. >> step out. hands on your head, my friend. step over, one time, two times coming out. >> you got anything on you? you've got one chance at amnesty, man. this is it. >> now with seven other investigators, they're searching 38 inmates and their sells for shanks and for clues about what the gangster disciples and other groups are up to. >> pop 1-3! pop 1-3! [ dog barking ] >> we did go to the sells in which we had the information on. we didn't find any metal up here. there was a lot of flushing going on when we hit the tier, so i'm pretty positive there was definitely contraband on the tier, but by the time we get through both of those gates, secure the dayroom, and get to the cells we're looking for, it

gives us maybe a minute, minute and a half head statter. it's safer for them to get rid of it than get caught with it and catch a new case. and they know that's what's coming when they see us. >> but carpenter and sandoval have found something equally important. kites. >> this is inmates' way of communication here. this is called a kite. it will normally be rolled up in a fashion, maybe this small. on the back, it says "division 1," it says the nickname "chaos." this is supposed to be the person that gets the kite in the end, but it may get through four or five different inmates until it reaches him. what it is is the count for their gang on this tier, their nicknames and their court dates. the reason that's important, if you ever want to plot ahead or if you think you're going to be attacked, you would like to know who's going to be in court with you, who's going to be in the bull pen, see who has the numbers. and it goes on further to actually put that they have one shank, what they're calling here a banger, one, on the tier.

you'd be surprised how many kites actually go out. there's thousands going out, i would assume, every day, honestly, through court, through medical movement. i mean, every avenue you could possibly think of. >> kite traffic is like the information super highway for inmates, and it's almost impossible to stop. so carpenter and sandoval have turned it to their own advantage. seizing the rite kite can help investigators shut down a gang war before it happens. >> it's excellent information for us. these guys keep track of their infantry, their weapons, and they're able to plan assaults, attacks. you know, of anybody trying to take rank. we find out right away. certain gangs have certain openings, and as soon as we see that, we already know who it is. it says, "greetings, family, i come in a vision." and at the end, they always have

"i leave as i come as the great leader," that's gangster disciples. >> it's not about us catching it, it's about getting to the person they want it to. that's more important than the kite getting caught for them. >> as the summer begins, carpenter and sand discover a major threat developing on the compound. they've seized numerous kites pointing to a civil war within the top ranks of the gangster disciples, chicago's largest criminal organization, both inside the jail and on the street. >> there are two guys who believe they are in charge. they're housed in opposite buildings, but they have followings in each other's buildings. we identified everybody. we have about a equal number of upper echelon. >> between the two competing factions, investigators have identified 26 senior to mid-level gangster disciples of key interest. they're the ones allegedly

sending and dispersing the kites. one faction is housed in maximum security division nine. they represent the current leadership in charge of all gangster disciples throughout the jail. the opposing faction is based in maximum security division one. they held all the power in the past, and now they want it back again. >> basically what you have is an internal war going on right now. it's called a hostile takeover. >> carpenter and sandoval want to hear more from the inmates themselves, including this man whom we're calling franklin to hide his identity. he's on the side of the gangster disciples plotting a takeover. he and his cohorts claim that the acting leader has betrayed him. >> he is not only against us, but against the organization

entirely. his credibility is not what it once was. the jail closing if on him, you know what i mean, and we're outnumbered in division nine four to one. the odds are on our side. >> franklin insists that his loyalty to his crew comes first, but he's also got other motives. he's fighting a drug conspiracy case, and hopes to curry favor with the state's attorney. so he's agreed to keep carpenter and sandoval in the loop about the power struggle. he's one of many informants they have on both sides of the conflict who are helping them to intercept kites. >> there's been a lot of kites going back and forth between the two groups. this is one particular kite from division nine. it's an official memo. this is equivalent to what i would say is a third guy in charge. then he's saying, take care of this business. he clearly states the people who he wants here. he says they're being charged with disrupting the organization

unity. they are to be blasted on site, asap. and this is now the game. >> with information like this in hand, carpenter and sandoval are alerting jail officials. they're also warning multiple inmates who are under threat based on the kites they're receiving. among those inmates, their own source, franklin. >> the jail is a very small place. sooner or later, we're going to come fate to face. we're not going to let them hurt us. >> all that being said, you know what's coming next. would you like to check into protective custody for your safety with regards to violence being carried out against you?

>> you're [ muted ]'ing me, right? >> protective custody is like someone else has to protect you. you have to wear a yellow suit. >> i'm trying to come up here, but give me a minute. where do i put a health"hell no? >> franklin is signing a statement of refusal. >> name, number, signature. >> where's comments going? >> there's no comments. you're not reviewing a move. >> what happens a lot of times is we also confront the aggressors. and we let them no that we are aware that they're calling all

these violations out, and if it occurs, they can take a hit for it. >> we're not here to choose sides. we're going to hit both sides. we've got multiple guys in both buildings, feeding us information. they're never going to figure that out, who said what and who did what. they're not going to know. >> by squeezing inside sources, authorities are preparing their next move. a sweeping crackdown on the gangster disciples, both inside the jail and on the streets. >> the operation, we've dubbed it hostile takeover. we're going to disrupt the heads and take them out of play inside the institution. >> a message will be sent. it's going to affect every building on the compound, and on the street. despite their numbers, we're still the biggest group here. ] what is this shorty? uh, tissues sir, i'm sick. you don't cough, you don't show defeat. give me your war face! raaah!

there's a civil war brewing inside chicago's cook county jail. two opposing factions of the gangster disciples are fighting for control of their organization. >> just a quick question. >> investigators drake carpenter and adrian sandoval want to stop them before the conflict turns violent. they've identified 26 senior members of the gangster disciples either in power or trying to take over. >> a lot of times, until one person from the street comes in that's heavy enough that says, hey, listen, this is what it is, and both sides green, then there's going to be violence and people here are going to lose their lives. >> county is already a pressure cooker of rival gangs, from all parts of the city, living under

one roof. >> 37, a-b-e. >> you've got the ambrose. the eye street, right above the eye. >> gang members make up more than 30% of the compound's inmates at any given time. most detainees here are being held for trial, as they've been charged, but not convicted of crimes. it's is up to corrections staff and the criminal intelligence unit, or ciu, to try to keep a lid on potential conflicts. >> it's controlled chaos. all the way from receiving to the buildings. >> you have 40, 50 guys on one tier that are killing each other out on the streets, and you expect them to get along. you can't just get over stuff like that. >> you know somebody trying to pull a fast one, you know what i'm saying? a slick one on me.

you know, trying to bust me in the head with a tray. he got me, but i got him good, yeah, i stabbed his bitch-ass. he knows what's up. >> sandoval and carpenter are bracing themselves for a long, tense summer. not only are they keeping their eye on the disciples, but also on other groups that present a chance for violence. today they're meeting with one of county's most notorious detainees. he's the leader of a fringe gang and he's made powerful enemies throughout the compound. this inmate named antoin is facing trial for murder and claims he's innocent. he recently survived an attempt on his life by the gangster disciples. antoin himself had belonged to the gangster disciples, until he broke off to form a renegade group behind bars.

>> they started with the whole tier. 40 guys. we don't answer anybody. we're on our own, we just stick up for each other and that's it. and from there, they went to other tiers and it's almost like a cancer was spreading. >> you've just got a group of individuals that don't want to participate in the gds. our mission was this, get the people that's in the gang take them out of the gang and get them to realize that the gang is dead. we're not going to let the gds come and tell us, look, this is what you're going to do. i don't get no count. why should i get on count and pay you -- that's like paying for protection. i don't need anybody to protect me. i'm a grown-ass man. >> he was a big voice, he's a big threat. so he's made a name for himself. he feels like he's somewhat of a legend in here, although his reign is coming to an end real fast now, but they were pretty strong for a time. >> antoin and his crew, who have a reputation for violence, game known as atg, or against the

grain. they stirred up turmoil inside the jail, but ultimately their rivals outnumbered them. >> they're really trying to, like, wipe us out. when the gds went insane, what my mission was, they were disrupting organization unionsy, so therefore, like kill this bitch. i'm the osama bin laden of cook account, forñixd sure, that's w it is. i've had so many people saying, we're going to kill antoin simmons. if you were going to kill me, i'd be dead. i've had eight fights and all i did was get slashed with a razor a couple times and that ain't nothing. if i had the razor in my hand, they're in trouble for real. >> he got attacked recently, he had eight or ten guys on him, it's like a badge of honor for him. so he's kind of feeling himself even a little bit more. >> they ain't going to fight me one on one, you know they ain't going to fight me one on one.

they're going to play with the knives. move he out of the county, because somebody's going to end up hurt. >> we're working on it. >> antoin is lobbying to move to another jail outside of cook county, where he won't be a high-profile target and he'll have more freedom. since the latest attempt on his life, he's been confined to a super max tier. >> he's housed alone, he's out in the dayroom alone. he showers alone. he goes to court under special escort. any movement he has is going to be handcuffed, shackles at all times. it's just the threat level, we need to -- and he, too, for his own protection. >> if i had to put you on the moon right now, that's where your ass would go. >> anywhere's better than here. >> bottom line, it's our job to make sure that he finishes his case, that the sentence is conducted, and then he goes to the state or he goes home. so for the entire, he's like our baby right now. so if you act up, we've still got to look out for you. >> but sandoval and carpenter

haven't heard the last from antoin or his followers. before the summer is over, antoin and his crew will prove they're still a force to be reckoned with. and they'll add fuel to the fire of a civil war that's dividing the gangster disciples. >> people are smelling that mood in the water right now. >> it's inevitable, there's going to be some kind of retaliati retaliation. is it because taking a step represents hope? or triumph? at genworth, we believe in taking small steps every day to keep your promises, protect what matters, and prepare for a secure financial future. no matter where you want to go, one step at a time is the only way to get there. go to genworth.com/promises.

they might think that i'm scared. if they think that, that's the work mistake that they could ever make. because when you don't respect nothing else, you definitely respect violence. >> investigators drake carpenter and adrian sandoval are facing the threat of civil war inside chicago's cook county jail. the top ranks of county's biggest gang, the gangster disciples, have split into two

factions, competing for power. this inmate, whom we're calling franklin, is tied to the faction that's trying to retake control of the whole organization. >> has it gone just too far as a compromise power. >> for it to go that way, because they did a lot of slandering. >> with the help of informants like franklin, carpenter and sandoval have identified 26 key players in the power struggle. >> who from division nine are we looking at moving? van bolden you want gone, correct? >> correct. >> now they want to take all of those conspirators out of the equation. >> you're looking at jack, spider, hightower, littleman. >> and make them irrelevant. >> that is basically the lineup for nine, correct? >> correct. >> what about one? >> that's the goal of a coordinated sweep they're naming hostile takeover. >> it's going to be all these guys, all within the same day,

before they know what happens. >> carpenter has a list. he'll go through it briefly, to let you know who we're anticipating on moving where. >> their strategy is two-pronged in the jail. first, disrupt the gangster disciple's lines of communication by transferring their top members to different buildings and tiers. second, put them under close surveillance as they rebuild their communication channels from the ground up. >> the bottom line is, they don't have that many avenues to communicate. kites, the phone, the mail, and visitors. so we're going to be up on all those avenues. >> what we're trying to do is gather the information proactively. the objective is to stop the violence. >> finally, a third phase will take place on the street. the sheriff's police will

saturate the gangster disciple's neighborhoods, hitting them where it hurts most, their pockets. >> you drive away all the business, and they're not going to make any money selling drugs. it will push people inside and it will shut down their street markets. we're going to effect a whole group of individuals who are affiliated with the gangster disciples. >> the phones are going to -- >> they're going to hear about it on the street. as soon as they start getting popped in here, everyone's going to hear about it on the street. >> they're going to know. >> but there's no guarantee that the operation could work. it could make tensions inside the jail worse and provoke retaliation against police on the street. taking on the gangster disciples is dangerous business. there's been no greater menace to more chicago communities for the past 30 years. >> i could kill everybody right

now. i'll kill that old man. you know what i'm saying? take that, bitch. >> at their height during the 1980s and 1990s, the gangster disciples built a highly structured drug empire, thanks to powder and crack cocaine. because as chicago police and the feds clamped down on them, their ranks splintered and they spread from the inner city to the outlying suburbs. >> the gds, because they're one of the largest street gangs, we see them more frequently. a lot of times, they won't even say that they're affiliated with a gang. it's up to us to try to learn who these guys are. it's not like it was in the '80s or in the '90s. it's very loose and very fluid. and that's how you have that much internal conflict inside the gang. it was never like that before.

>> what today's gds lack in unity, they make up for in numbers. police estimate that 30,000 members live throughout the chicago area. they claim up to 3,000 city blocks as gang turf, and they've expanded into more than 30 suburbs. their most recognizable symbol, a six-pointed star, honors their cofounder, king david barksdale. and the sheriff's police are seeing it in more and more places. >> why'd you run, man? >> i just don't like being around police. >> you a gd? >> no, sir. >> these six-point star earrings in your ear. >> i know. >> that's the star of david, right? >> tell me why you're wearing those earrings right now. you are a gd. there's no need to lie. we already know that. >> stand up for yourself, man. >> i just don't want to get in

no trouble. >> you're not going to get in any trouble for telling us this stuff, okay? what you can get in trouble from is from running from the police today. >> as long as there is a demand for narcotics, we're never going to break the back of any gang, no matter what. so until something's done along those lines, we'll be out here every single day. >> the gangster disciples are likely here to stay, but authorities hope to hit them as hard as they can with operation hostile takeover. >> this is the message they're sending here. when you hit the guys at the top, and the rest of their guys see him leave the tier, under direct escort from us, then they know. that's where the message is sent. >> everybody's finding their comfort zone. but when you take them out of it, how do they react? >> let's get it. >> that's next on "the squeeze."

when bp made a commitment to the gulf, we knew it would take time, but we were determined to see it through. today, while our work continues, i want to update you on the progress: bp has set aside 20 billion dollars to fund economic and environmental recovery. we're paying for all spill- related clean-up costs. and we've established a 500 million dollar fund so independent scientists can study the gulf's wildlife and environment for ten years. thousands of environmental samples from across the gulf have been analyzed by independent labs under the direction of the us coast guard.

i'm glad to report all beaches and waters are open for everyone to enjoy. and the economy is showing progress with many areas on the gulf coast having their best tourism seasons in years. i was born here, i'm still here and so is bp. we're committed to the gulf for everyone who loves it, and everyone who calls it home.

there's many more brewing at any given time at chicago's cook county jail. >> you put these guys all together in a confined area with rules that they've never had in their whole life, there's going to be violence. and that's what you're going to be subjected to every single day. >> right now, a civil war within the top ranks of the gangster disciples poses the greatest danger to the entire compound. so authorities are getting ready to shake up the main suspects. >> what we're going to do is within the jail, we're going to transfer them around. we're going to hit their cells and we're going to do it for the entire gang. >> the operation dubbed "hostile takeover" will be an attempt to avert all-out violence between to gangster disciples. investigators have recruited informants from both sides, who will continue playing a big role after the key sweep. >> the jail will be buzzing, for

a week, at least, and that's when we'll be able to gain a lot of information. >> you need the informant information to get the inside details. >> but an inmate with a score to settle is about to change their plans. his name is antoin, and he's a former gangster disciple who went renegade to start his own gang. investigators drake carpenter and adrian sandoval met with him a month back after the gangster disciples tried to kill. >> so they rushed me, and when they rushed me, they rushed me to the wall and i fell on the ground. and i was on the ground for like five, ten seconds. i jumped back off the ground and i kept swinging. see, i got sliced on my throat and my back's been razed. you see my back's messed up. they stabbed me and you know it's not over with. >> antoin predicted that their

followers would take matters into their hone hands as long as he was locked up on a super max tier. >> you know he's going to strike back. i can't do nothing. you know y'all got me on escort anyway. so i can't do [ muted ]. i can't tell them not to do nothing, because they're going to do what they want to do. that's squash. >> camera's on! >> everybody on the ground. >> camera's on! >> take him down! [ shouting ] >> now several weeks later, one of antoin's people has made good on that prediction by savagely beating the top security chief for the gangster disciples. it's a symbolic blow to the gang's leadership. >> i've never seen somebody in that position getting touched. i've never seen it happen. i don't think it's ever happened, since either of us have been here. so it's bad. >> it's inevitable. there's going to be some kind of

retaliation. >> the attack took place on a maximum security can deck while nearly half of the inmates were on exercise break. it happened in a matter of seconds. four alleged assailants jumped the victim and stomped his head into the floor. they had no weapons, only their fists and feet, and sent him to the hospital with massive head trauma. >> all the guys are separated. and then we just started interviewing one by one, everybody who was out. we were able to get our main suspects involved. >> the lead suspect belongs to the atgs while the others are vice lords. they also oppose the gangster disciples. >> thanks, man. >> thanks. >> that oppose up a whole new can of warms for investigators. >> this is the vice lord aspect is what i'm more worried about than the atg aspect.

they take some of you guys for being weak. >> if people knew we was on one accord, that wouldn't have happened. >> now they've got to find out if it was the start of an isolated incident or the start of an even larger war throughout the jail. >> people here can lose their lives. >> possible gunshots. u are a bu. lord of the carry-on. sovereign of the security line. you never take an upgrade for granted. and you rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay the mid-size price. i deserve this. [ male announcer ] you do, business pro. you do. go national. go like a pro.

now that a guy like this gets hit, some retaliation is going to happen. >> a perfect storm appears to be gathering inside chicago's cook county jail. at the center, the gangster disciples, the biggest gang on the compound. their chief of security has been beaten and nearly killed by rival gang members. the alleged assailants belong to two different groups. the atgs and vice lords. they've exposed the gangster disciples' leaders for being vulnerable. a result of their own internal disarray. the gang's senior ranks are split in two. one faction that's in power and the other that's trying to take over. now the question is whether the attack by the atgs and vice lords will remain an isolated incident.

or whether it will spark a bigger war on multiple fronts. that's what investigators have to find out quickly. they're leaning on many different sources for intel. including an inmate whom we've been calling franklin. he belongs to the side of gangster disciples plotting a takeover against their current leaders. >> people are smelling that blood in the water right now. that you guys aren't on the same page. so they're taking some of you guys for being weak. they taking them -- let's keep this clear, plain and simple, they taking that crew for being weak. >> it's the vice lord aspect is what i'm more worried about than the atg aspect. >> i don't condone what they did. but i don't see nothing changing in the relationship with the vice lords and the gds right now.

there's always been tension but lately, the last couple of years, a peace treat, so everything's been going all right. so yng it was just towards the gds. >> so basically they just took advantage of the situation. >> yeah. on the floor and nobody help him? >> yep. >> there was a considerate amount of gds in there. everyone was either in the shower, on the phone, or watching tv. >> got out of the way, huh? that should be a clear message to them, man. you know what i mean? didn't nobody care. the jail is always about the numbers. you outnumbered, you outpowered. this is not a place you want to be outpowered. >> go ahead. >> based on what they've heard, investigators aren't waiting for the next shoe to drop.

they're moving ahead of schedule to shake up both factions of gangster disciples in a coordinated sweep. >> i'm going to meet with sergeant cabo in division one and sandoval and his group is headed to nine. >> it's the next phase of operation hostile takeover. >> everybody's got radio. >> you're going to identify who the subjects are, where they're housed, show them a picture. everything's in the pack. >> it's on a large scale, but it's not something that's never been done before. this is jail 101. searching inmates and looking for contraband. that's what we do. >> it will be an effort between us, emergency response unit, k-9, frontline staff. >> more than 80 officers, divided into two teams, will be hitting a pair of maximum security buildings at once in a show of force. their goal, take the 26

highest-ranking members of the gangster disciples into custody. officers will use pepper spray if the inmates fight back. investigator adrian sandoval is the case agent for one of the buildings. division nine. while investigator drake carpenter is the case agent for the other, division one. they're about to rush the tiers where their targets are housed. >> everything is the element of surprise. so the potential for stuff to go wrong is high. >> let's go! let's go! [ dog barking ] >> you got one time in cell 7? >> cell 4. >> two times.

where do you want them? >> it went really well. as well as can go. he was actually able to run into the tier, secure everybody in the dayroom. the rest of guys were caught in the hallway, in the corridor. they were all secured. you can see in their faces, guys that normally are not mad about seeing me don't look real happy right now. be advised, 8-3 went smoothly. three of our five targets were in the dayroom. no incident. it's your birthday? happy birthday, man. happy birthday. this your party. just ain't no cake. >> the first round-up is over within 15 minutes. now that one tier's down, authorities have ten more to go.

they're already moving the gangster disciples off the tier. they'll transfer them to other tiers or divisions. meanwhile, the team if division nine is ready to grab more heavy hitters, including the leader of the whole organization. >> i think there's one up there and one down here. but i don't know who's who. might be this one. face the wall right there. coming at you. >> this is huge. just the fact we came in here and took down -- this is the guy they've been following for the past three years, just got taken off the tier. now what do we do?

who's going to take over? who's the mouthpiece? who's the brains? there's going to be a lot of confusion for a minute. it's perfect. who's the brains? there will be a lot of confusion for a minute. it's perfect. >> in a matter of hours, authorities take 24 of their targets into custody. from here, they'll transfer them to their new homes and put them under surveillance. >> it's going to open up a ton of different avenues for us. i guarantee you, you'll probably flip three or four guys. guys who didn't talk to us, now they got moved to a different division or a different county and it's not conducive to what they're used to. now they'll be wanting to talk. coming up on "the squeeze" -- >> the guys on the street know that we're out here because their leaders are causing conflict. you cause conflict in the jail, we're going to bring it to you here on the street.

jail -- >> you're under arrest, big boy. >> now their blocks are feeling it too. the sheriffs' gang units, together with chicago police, are making a massive sweep of the city's west and south sides. >> our goal is to target the gangster disciples in the communities they live. the more problems you cause for us inside the institution, we're going to cause conflict for you guys on the street. you're going to go to jail for everything. whether it's public intoxication, driving on suspended license. you're going to go to jail for everything. >> never been in no gang? never in your life? your neighbors won't come back and say you never been in no gang? you hang out with the gds? >> police drive their message

home by racking up 68 arrests over two days on gangster disciple turf. >> like i was telling you guys earlier, gds are having a night. >> they have a message of their own to send. >> basically it speaks for itself. cpd, chicago police department, and the "k" is for killers. >> right now a group of guys are coming up. i relate it or attribute to it a video game. they think they can hit the button and get four more lives. you don't. once you ruin this one, it's ruined. >> while the street operation is in full swing, an alleged gang member shoots and injured two chicago officers. it happens in a neighborhood

that's not part of the sweep. but the impact is just the same. >> mayor told us today, when you're out in the city be careful because they're not afraid to shoot the police. prime example. >> both officers are lucky to be alive. each was grazed in the head by gunfire. a city-wide manhunt endues. yet the shooter evades capture. for now. >> you've seen how many police officers that was out there. we not going to lose. we going to fight for us. we going to win, period. >> man, where you from? >> i'm from the south side. >> south side where?

what are you, gd? >> after three days of jail and street sweeps, investigators sandoval and carpenter face the real test. to find out whether the operation worked. what their sources are telling them is good news. the gangster disciples' civil war is now over. the two sides have finally agreed to share power as a result of police pressure. >> this had to be the end of it, this operation, that's the whole point of it was to end the nonsense. and right now it's ended. >> sandoval and carpenter welcome the outcome. and move on to the next potential threat. for one thing, they've still got antoine and his atg followers on the compound. >> this is not a new gang, it's a movement. that's what it is. >> sort of like a bowel movement. >> it would be easier just to turnkeys and give them their food. but then you're not helping law enforcement in general.

you've got to be willing to go an extra step. >> we're out there all the time. on the tiers these guys have knives. you ask life insurance agencies. there's a reason why our policies ar lot higher. >> bottom line to it is this is life and death situation. it has that potential every single day. >> you're going to a place where stuff happens. whether you want it to or not, something could happen. so you've got to make the most of it when you leave your house, kiss your kids. tell the people you love you love them. because, you know, unfortunately it could happen to you. you know? so you have to take advantage of that. to me, i keep that in my mind every day when i come to work. that's why most of the time we meet people in corrections, it's a small, tight-knit group. those guys can only understand why. it's a bond. we have to look out for each other. that's the most important part.
