being accepted. being, you could say, loved. i was 17 years old. and i got in a gang fight with somebody. and i ended up stabbing them. stabbing that person to death. when i reflect back, when i was stabbing him, i wasn't stabbing just him. but it was -- i was stabbing my -- everybody that i had anger against. i went back to my buddy's house. and i just told him, man, i did something bad. you know. i did something bad. i was shaking. i didn't know what to do. next day i went to school, you know. like trying to make everything normal again. in reality, it wasn't normal. i took somebody's life. somebody's son. somebody's brother. you know. and thinking back on it, it's sad. because -- because that didn't

have to happen. you know, that didn't have to happen at all. but it did. and now i got to deal with it. in the process of this, i want to try to help somebody else, that is going -- like a guy that might have three years, make sure he don't come back as a murderer. that's my new life now. >> all inmates down in the prone position. >> but no matter what's at stake in the game, the all too familiar sound of an alarm reminds the inmates whose yard this is. >> why is everybody down? >> there's an alarm. that's just -- anytime you hear an alarm, all inmates. everybody has to get down, all inmates. sometimes there might be a fight, might be somebody hurt. so they have to press the alarm. make sure the cos know what's going on. most of the time you get a lot of false alarms. we don't know whether it's real or it's false. >> alarm clear.

>> it's off now so everybody can get up. >> nobody rises, nobody moves. >> business as usual. >> if we don't get down, then somebody might get shot. >> good throw, thank you. >> good job, old man. >> nice beating you, home boy. >> underneath the towers surrounded by razor wire, level 2 inmates from north block and h unit get in one last game of tennis before the end of the day. >> just a little long. >> mohammad is the captain of the san quentin tennis team.

streets playing tennis, because you forget about the madness. when we into a game, into a good rally, you're just like, oh, man, that was good. then sometimes you've got to wake up, oh, man, remember where you at. wake up, oh, man, remember where you at. coming up on "lockup: extended stay" -- >> 32 checkmate. >> when boredom sets in, these inmates get inventive with household items. >> this is a castle. that's some strawberry kool-aid and a piece of toilet paper. >> yeah, i make roses for mother's day and all that stuff. this is made out of toilet paper, right? see this? i mean, anybody that would like art would never think that was made out of soap and paper. this is delicious okay...
