on the ground! >> that's the only way you can handle situations in here. you've got to fight. >> she got a broken eye socket. i put her in the infirmary for eight days. >> you're a loser! >> i chased after a court officer. they said i hit one and kicked one and spit on him. >> for those inmates all too willing to throw a punch -- the jail has a special place.

>> the box. >> the box sucks. >> separated from everything. so you learn to deal with it. it's called the box life. boston, massachusetts, is by any standard a world-class city. but ever since its colonial days, some have called it a fighting town. and located in the heart of the city is a place for anyone who does their fighting outside a ring. >> step on inside, gentleman. backs to the wall, please. >> more than 12,000 people a year pass through the walls of boston's suffolk can county jail. though the jail also holds inmates who have already been convicted and serving short

sentences, most arrived here having only been accused of a crime. if they don't make bail they will stay until their case is resolved. for some, that time could be measured in months, if not years. >> we're not necessarily housing people, very violent crimes with people with completely non-violent crimes but it's a maximum security facility. if you're one of the nonviolent ones, it's definitely something you need to get used to. >> with an average daily population of 2,700 male and female inmates, someone reaches their boiling point virtually every day of the week. >> on the ground! >> back to their rooms. >> the most common violation is fighting. it's exon for updates to fight over rivalries and gang differences.

people get transferred into new units. so new inmates come in, detainees come in and they go right at it and they end up here. >> here is the segregation unit where inmates are placed after fights or other serious disciplinary violations. other than toiletries and legal papers, they are not allowed personal property and are locked in their cells 23 hours a day. while segregation is officially known as the 6-1 unit, inmates have another name for it. >> the box. >> get down. >> it's hell on earth. >> the box sucks. >> a lot of times when you go to the 6-1 unit, you'll hear a lot of screaming. i'm going to kill you. i'm going to get you. >> [ bleep ]! [ bleep ]! >> these people really do not like each other, and they will take every opportunity to tell whoever is listening how much they don't like somebody else. >> unlike some segregation inmates, dan espinoza usually keeps quiet. especially about the fight that

earned him 30 days here. it happened the night he was arrested but he says he doesn't remember a thing about it. >> from what i was told, i chased after a court officer when i was being cuffed up. they said i hit one of them and kicked one and spit on him. >> he came in severely inebriated of some sort. whether it was drunk, drugs, something or other, but he was definitely under the influence of something when he came into our facility. >> espinoza had been arrested on charges of larceny and shoplifting and was in court to enter a plea, but his behavior prevented that. instead, he was taken directly to the segregation unit. fortunately for him, he wasn't charged for his alleged abusive behavior and later pled not guilty to his original charges. he blames his problems on his abuse of prescription drugs.

>> i was on klonopin. felony pills. yeah. >> felony pills, why do you call them that? >> because every time i take them i get felonies. >> i fell when i was in the ironworkers union, tore my knee up, had my knee reconstructed. i was on vicodin, percocet. and it eventually led to heroin. i've been doing heroin a little over 10 years. >> espinoza says he supported his addiction by shoplifting and would then sell the items in boston's ethnic neighborhoods. >> i would grab a rack of ed hardy jeans, fence the stuff, go to the italians, puerto ricans for the clothes. go to the chinese for the electronics that you can get you knows, or watches. >> if convicted of his current charges, espinoza could face several years in state prison. >> sad to say, but maybe it's what i need. >> while espinoza's legal future is still uncertain, his time in

segregation is drawing to a close. he's about to be transferred to general population. >> tomorrow i get out. thank dpod. get to play in the big box again. out of the little box, into the big box. i hate the little box. >> like espinoza, daniel estell also aspires to be placed on the general population unit. >> got to mingle with the crowd. you get to get out. be with everybody else. i never been to pop. only time i was in pop is when i was a new man. i've never really seen pop. i was only in there for like two weeks. >> what happened? >> a fight. >> everybody fights, right? that's the only way you can handle situations in here. you've got to fight. if someone says something to you or if you've got problems, you've got to act on the issue. if you don't, they will. it's a jail thing.

>> 16 months ago, esdale was sentenc convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to two years at the house of correction, a separate jail facility for convicted inmates serving 2 1/2 years or less. due to multiple fights, he spent the first 13 months in segregation, but even under those restrictions he was still a significant disciplinary problem. >> daniel has gotten into many fights since he's been here. he's been involved in about ten fights. there are a lot of fights that he has actually asked or called to happen. so he's been involved in a lot more behind the scenes than he's actually been involved in. >> if someone is arguing with a c.o., i'll be in the background amping them up. just, you know, plooep like that. sometimes i like when people like. i like all that. >> why? >> kront kni don't know, it's j fun to me. i just enjoy it. i like all the commotion and stuff like that. >> while esdale thrives on commotion outside his cell, inside is a shrine to order.

>> that's my rug. that's a blanket, but i use it as a rug to make it feel more comfortable and cozy. makes it more like home. that's my cosmetics. each toothbrush doesn't has its own toothpaste so i don't get it mixed up. sounds weird, but that's the way i do it. same thing with deodorants. one day i pick up one. one day the other. you don't use the same one. that's the way do you. mouthwash, shampoo. two of everything. you don't want to use all one thing. >> there's another unique aspect to esdale's current living situation. due to his fighting or egging on of other inmates, jail officials decided to house him in an area where other inmates would be less likely to respond to him. >> lunchtime, gentlemen. >> we decided to remove him from segregation and put him in the infirmary where he wasn't with other people where he could incite or ask to start a fight if he couldn't do it himself.

>> this is the infirmary. this is medical, this is where sick people come down here. so they said if i come down here and i maintain good behavior, i get a detail. detail, you clean and pass the trays out. then if i follow the detail, i can go back to population. >> in the meantime, esdale says he will try to make the best of his work detail and life in the infirmary. >> i got a tv in the cell. i never thought i would see a tv in the joint let alone in my cell. i got a tv. a little razzle-dazzle. work out. write letters. sometimes you talk to yourself. >> what do you say to yourself? >> everything i want to hear. that's the best thing about talking to yourself. you can hear anything you want. coming up, an inmate nicknamed smiley deals with her troubled past. >> i punched a lieutenant in the face. they gave me assault and battery on a lieutenant police officer. by what's getting done. the twenty billion dollars bp committed

has helped fund economic and environmental recovery. long-term, bp's made a five hundred million dollar commitment to support scientists studying the environment. and the gulf is open for business - the beaches are beautiful, the seafood is delicious. last year, many areas even reported record tourism seasons. the progress continues... but that doesn't mean our job is done. we're still committed to seeing this through.

we got tuna today for lunch. got no choice but to eat it. back to our cells after this. >> every day in here is a living hell. every day. ain't no sunshine in this jail. >> there is some sunshine in boston's suffolk county jail. at least on the open air recreation decks. depending on their security level, inmates are allowed out for an hour or more of rec each day. during bad weather, recreation is taken in housing unit dayrooms, where inmates work out any way they can. >> got to do pull-ups every day,

about ten reps a day, ten sets. then i do my push-ups, squats. got to work on the legs. >> now raise your left arm up. >> over on the women's unit, some inmates aim for a mind/body connection through a more contemplative practice. >> now reach, reach, reach with your left arm and bring the hand on to the chair. >> reporter: from time to time, the jail allows a volunteer yoga instructor to conduct a class. >> like the tree. >> i like it. it's really relaxing and makes your day go by easier. takes away all your stress. >> 23-year-old valerie minikipeli hasn't always been so mellow. she's nearing the end of a 90-day sentence for convictions that include a assault on a police officer. >> i got into a fight with this girl, and when they took me to the police station, they got rough with me so i fugt back. i punched a plaunt in the face.

so they gave me assault and battery on a lieutenant police officer. they caught call me smiley, because i'm always smiling. i'm a nice person, but don't get in my personal space, because it's going down. >> minacapeli proved her point after a few days after arriving at jail. >> she got a broken face. >> she was released to general population a few weeks ago. but despite her sometimes violent tendencies, minacapeli claims her many stays in the suffolk county jail stem from her addiction to cocaine and heroin. >> when i was with my kids, i never did nothing. never did no drugs. never did nothing.

i was a stay-at-home mom. it was good. and then just started racking charges and doing drugs. it was all downhill. >> minacapeli says she turned to prostitution to support her drug habit. her two children, ages 5 and 6, are now in the custody of their father. >> i do write to them. i don't get any mail back from them. i don't get to talk to them on the phone. my family talks to them. he won't let me talk to them on the phone from jail. >> despite the pain, minacapeli has found room for laughter in jail, particularly with her cell mate, cindy archer. >> the first night i came in, we laughed the entire night. so hard she was on the floor, rolling. >> yeah, i was slapping the wall, everything. i haven't laughed so hard in my life like that, when me and her. >> like minacapeli, archer has also struggled with addictions to heroin and cocaine. she is currently serving one year for prostitution.

>> i was street walking. i would go out there and, you know, get up in the car, get the money. but usually i would rob the guys. i would take the money out of their wallet, put their wallet back in, paubecause that's how i know how to do it, you know what i mean? and grateful i'm not dead from that, but that's how i got my money. when you're high, all you want to do is get another hit. so if you're dope-sick, go get money to get more dope, because your body's aching for it. and that's disgusting. if i'm thinking about it now, yeah, i would love to get high, but the consequences. look at the consequences. >> those were abscesses. when i shot coke, i used to miss and it would turn to poison. they would get bigger and into the hospital on antibiotics. i know they look horrible, but she's got to be thinking, that could happen to her. i could save her from getting these scars. i have them, but the thing is, i'm alive, and i can still try

to help her. don't let her get any further into her addiction. try to control it now before it gets out of hand like i did. >> like she said, like about the scars and stuff, i think about that all the time, when i go in the bathroom and look at my track marks. i'm like, wow, you know what i mean? i mean, look, i just -- we're too pretty for that. we don't need to have all these marks and scars on our body, you know what i mean, all the things i lost getting high, it's crazy. but you have to get clean for yourself. you can't do it for other people. >> daniel espinoza has also paid a price for drug addiction. high when he was arrested for shoplifting, he assaulted several deputies during his initial court appearance. as a result, he spent his first 30 days at suffolk county in

segregation. but now he's on his way to general population, where he will have more privileges, and time outside his cell. >> today i'm getting out of the whole. i'm going to go play with the big kids in the big box now. just pretty excited. when you go to a new unit, you know, you don't know who's on that unit or whatever. could be a lot of smoke on the unit, so we'll see what's going on. >> 30 days since i get to put a pair of sneakers on. my new unit. see what's going to happen. >> 2-4, open. >> daniel esdale has spent the last four months living and working in the prison's infirmary, hoping good work would let the jail official overseas look his history of

fighting and grant him a transfer to general population. >> he actually got a point where he had a detail in medical where he served food to the other inmates and cleaned the unit, so he came a lot farther than we ever anticipated him coming. >> esdale finally did get a transfer, but definitely not the one he wanted. he's back in the box. >> i'm in segregation because i had a disagreement with the officers. i was told that if i work and behave, i can choose where i want to go. but then when it came down to it, it's like you can't go here, you can't go there, you can't go here. we can only go where we tell you to go. >> he likes to get what he wants. he's very manipulative. and yesterday morning had an incident with the juice was leaking and decided he didn't want to serve the juice. so when the officer asked him to go into his cell and he was not going to work his detail that day, he basically had a little bit of a fit and said, i'm not getting what i want, so move me out. >> i got aggravated and i said,

i'm not doing the juice. why do the work if i'm not going to get what i'm supposed to get out of it? >> he packed up his things. the sergeant asked him what he was doing. he said, i'm leaving today, one way or the other. so the officer sergeant let it go. later on in the day, he was fine. but decided to make a comment stating that michelle needs to make a decision. she needs to, i think he said, grow up and either move me to our work program or move me to the box. and i made the decision and he went to segregation last night. coming up -- >> like they said, they beat him pretty severely. he passed out at one point during the fight. >> a brutal assault brings consequences that could go beyond time in the box.

the city of boston is known by the nickname, beantown. but inside the walls of the suffolk county jail, where fights can break out suddenly, the inmates have another name for the city. ♪ straight from the bloody bean ♪ >> the bloody bean, you know?

>> the bloody bean. >> the bloody bean. >> the bloody bean, you know? >> daniel espinoza has just helped give the name some credence. after spending 30 days in segregation, or as he calls it, the little box, he had finally been released to what he calls the big box, general population, where he had more privileges and time outside his cell. but now just six days later, espinoza is on his way back to the little box. >> we got in a fight with someone. jumped someone. >> he got involved in a three-on-one in which he and two others pretty brutally assaulted another inmate. >> we beat the [ bleep ] out of him. sent him away in a bus. >> what's that? >> ambulance. >> they beat him pretty severely. he did pass out at one point in the fight. he went to the hospital, bleeding from the ear. not sure what his head trauma

was, if any. >> the jail normally punishes fighting by placing the participants into segregation for 30 days. for especially violent incidents, the jail may also choose to file criminal charges. but first, staff will review surveillance video of the fight. >> at that table is four detainees, including daniel espinoza. you can see mr. espinoza looking back to see where the officer's positions and the officer's sight lines are. another interesting part is this gentleman, who knows the attack is coming most likely, he's vacating the area, pause he's chosen he's not going to be a participant. and as the gentleman raises his arms, that's the signal to the others that the three-on-one attack is ready. he strikes the victim and you see mr. espinoza join in. and what ensues is a flurry of punches and kicks to the an essentially defenseless

detainee. >> if additional criminal charges are filed against espinoza, the most likely charge would be assault and battery. a conviction could then send him to state prison for up to eight years. >> most people come into the building. they don't want to make what they have worse, so they generally keep really bad behavior in check on their own. for the most part. yeah, there's a lot of fights and stuff like that, but they're quickly broken up and they generally don't go too, too far. for a person to pick up a significant charge like this is actually very rare. >> while espinoza's long-term consequences are still unknown, his day-to-day life back in the box is completely predictable. >> i try to sleep until like 1:00. and then i get up, read for a while, work out, anything just to make the time pass. you're separated from everything, you know, the outside world, you learn to deal with it and it's called the box

life. coming up -- >> it's 13 windows over. >> valerie minacapeli communicates with her cell block in the next door. >> he's got his heart up. i love him. okay, here's the plan.

you have a plan? first we're gonna check our bags for free, thanks to our explorer card. then, the united club. my mother was so wrong about you. next, we get priority boarding on our flight i booked with miles. all because of the card. and me. okay, what's the plan? plan? mm-hmm. we're on vacation. this is no plan. really? [ male announcer ] the united mileageplus explorer card. the mileage card with special perks on united. get it and you're in.

hi. i'm richard lui. here's what's happening this hour for you. president obama's campaigning in new hampshire today. his third trip to the state this year. he criticized his opponents over taxes and medicare. mitt romney and paul ryan will be visiting new hampshire on monday. and officials in dallas county, texas, say they will resume spraying for west nile virus tomorrow. storms have interrupted planned sprayings several times in the last few days. so far, ten people were killed and more than 200 sickened by the virus. now back to "lockup."

operation 2052. >> yo, did you find him? >> yep. >> when valerie minacapeli entered boston's suffolk county jail, she not only hit it off with her cell mate, she got a little closer to her fiance. >> my fiance that i've been with for 2 1/2 years is here. i couldn't wait to get up here and try to find him. >> look! >> minacapeli's fiance is housed in the men's unit on the other side of the jail. luckily enough, she has a perfect view of his cell window. >> 13 windows over on the bottom. he has this heart in the window. it's pink. >> as inmates, minacapeli and her fiance cannot write nor talk to each other on the phone. now they use a different method to communicate. inmates call it sky writing. >> you write the letters

backwards, because it's like looking in a mirror, and when you're done, you put your hand up like that, and then you start another word. and i wait for him to reply. i'm grateful at least when we're doing our time together, we're across from each other and we can talk to each other. oh, he's got his heart up! yeah! my baby, i love him. it's crazy the things love will make you do, right? >> yo! >> daniel esdale will also be happy to see a friendly face. he recently refused to perform his job detail in the infirmary and became verbally abusive to staff. the incident earned him a minor disciplinary ticket and a transfer back to segregation. he's not happy about being back in the box. >> i stare out the window all day. work out. and just stare out the window all day and talk through the doors. what you say?!

>> despite his setback, esdale still believes his four months in the infirmary should have earned him a shot at going back to general population. he's requested to speak with assistant deputy superintendent, rochelle steinberg in order to plead his case. >> how you doing? >> i'm all right. >> i've dealt with him for probably the last five or six years, whether it was in classification or my current capacity as a assistant deputy superintendent. >> you made a comment to the officer. >> he's a very smart individual. however, she's very manipulative, he knows how to get what he wants, and he knows how to play the game. he's a good talker. >> i just want to see if i get this straight. you're telling me that whole 4 1/2 months, i slipped up one time and everything goes down the hill. that's what you're telling me? >> no, you had a choice and you made a choice not to do what was asked of you. >> i just don't understand, rochelle, i really honestly don't understand that. because it all started off in the morning about some juice. i didn't want to pour the juice.

like, i had other issues going on too, but everything was adding up, you know what i'm saying? >> yep. >> but you have to look at the positive side of it, rochelle. okay, he caught a ticket, but he didn't catch a ticket for threatening to hurt somebody or trying to hurt somebody. he didn't catch a ticket for making a whole bunch of noise and -- >> i never said you were dead in the water, but you're not going back to general -- >> but i am, rochelle. >> i'm not saying you're dead in the water -- >> but you know i am, rochelle. >> but i don't know. you had a setback, that's all it is. no one's saying you're dead in the water. but you need to make sure you're maintaining yourself up here with no issues. >> rochelle, can i ask you a questions. >> yeah. >> honestly. >> you've asked me ten questions, yeah. >> do you honestly think that what i caught a ticket for was really that bad for me. for me? >> the ticket wasn't bad. it's the fact that you were getting escalated so quickly and getting angry over the most minor thing that the next step was what we were trying to avoid.

>> i understand that! i wasn't doing nothing aggressive. you understand -- >> right, i know you weren't. >> but, no, i said -- my exact words was this. >> yes? >> call rochelle, tell her i need to speak to her. make a [ bleep ] decision. something about grow up or something like that. >> yeah, i did. >> make a decision. if you send me to c-w or send me to the box. >> yep. >> i was aggravated, rochelle. >> i know that. >> and the only way to channel my anger is physically. so instead of doing that, i'm yelling. >> that was recognized. that was recognized. >> rochelle, to tell you the truth, all jokes aside, i'm not even trying to play with you, like, you know, you got the job, you're the boss, and i respect you. you understand where i'm coming from? >> yep. >> be but you and i both know normally i wouldn't even care about being seged. it doesn't matter. i'll stay here. >> i know. >> i feel as though i just did four months -- four months! >> and that's why i'm saying you're not dead in the water. >> the next step for esdale is

an administrative segregation or asu hearing which could determine how long he will remain in segregation. >> you'll most likely be seeing asu tomorrow. yes. >> i'll be there. >> all right. >> i'll be there. >> all right. >> yep. it was nice seeing you though. >> you too, daniel. >> it's always nice seeing you, rochelle. always going to be good in my book, no matter what. always going to be good. [ bleep ] out of here. >> while esdale deals with the consequences of his auctions, it's time for dan espinoza to do the same. >> come on, danny. >> he's been called to a disciplinary hearing for a brutal three-on-one attack on another inmate. a fight jail officials call one of the worst they've seen in years. >> as you know, this could be a big incident. so they might end up charging you with this criminally. before we ask you any questions, you must understand your rights. >> since most jail fights are broken up before there is serious injury, they are usually handled internally with

punishment coming in the form of a stay in segregation. but espinoza's fight was so violent, he could face new criminal charges. >> you have the right to remain silent. >> reporter: so espinoza is read his miranda rights prior to discussing it. >> do you understand the rights i've read to you? >> yeah. >> all right. so what happened? >> i told him to leave, and he didn't leave. >> okay. so he didn't leave, so you just fought him. why'd you tell him to leave? >> because he was -- [ inaudible ]. >> he was basically stealing from the unit, other people as well, told him to check off and he didn't. why'd this happen? >> i can't answer that question. >> you know, it went on for a while. i mean, you guys took breaks. >> i didn't take breaks. >> that's true, i'll grant you that, you were down the whole time. the other two were taking breaks. but why so long? you know what i mean?

>> i lost concept of time. >> well, basically, you know, yeah, it's pretty bad. you're probably going to do 30. i can't imagine a situation where you wouldn't do 30 in terms of segregation time up here. all right, daniel, thank you. >> but 30 days in segregation could be the least of espinoza's problems. should the d.a. decide to pursue criminal prosecution, if convicted, espinoza could potentially face eight years in state prison. >> so was it worth it? >> part of being in here. put me in a cage and i'll turn into a beast. that's basically what it's like, you know? that's what i do. coming up -- >> what happened? >> caught a ticket. >> you seemed to be spiraling out of control before that, though. >> daniel esdale tries yet again to catch a break. >> daniel's a little bit of a special case. >> i knew what was going to happen. has helped fund economic and environmental recovery. long-term, bp's made a five hundred million dollar

commitment to support scientists studying the environment. and the gulf is open for business - the beaches are beautiful, the seafood is delicious. last year, many areas even reported record tourism seasons. the progress continues... but that doesn't mean our job is done. we're still committed to seeing this through.

as you can clearly see from this attractive graph... that our sales have increased by... sorry, my liege. honestly. our sales have increased by 20%. what is this mystical device i see before me? it's an ultrabook. he signed the purchase order. vo: with an ultrabook, everything else seems old fashioned. introducing the ultra sleek, ultra responsive ultrabook. a whole new class of computers powered by intel.

every day, i get up. i have breakfast. i go back to bed until 10:00. i'll get up, have my coffee, take a shower. have to go back in the room from 11:00 to 12:00, until lunch. watch tv during the day. go on the treadmill. >> when it comes to doing time at boston's suffolk county jail, cindy archer is an old hand. this is her 14th stay at the jail and she's learned a few tricks along the jail. >> i make eyeliner. see? eyeliner. >> reporter: makeup is considered jail contraband. and inmates caught with it could receive a disciplinary write-up, so archer has turned to an unusual source as a substitute. >> it's the black stuff from the

window, and you put that grease on it and it makes the air liner. you activate it with the hair grease and it turns black. it doesn't hurt me. i've been doing it for the last ten years. it's like real eyeliner out on the street. nobody can make it as black as me, though. >> during those ten years, archer's been in and out of jail that she claims stemmed from her long drug addiction. the time has been made easier by the presence of her good friend, valerie minacapeli, but few things in jail are permanent. minacapeli was released a few days ago. >> i miss valerie very much. i called her monday night, she said she was doing okay. she answered the phone, collect call from me. i talked to her mom. they were doing good. >> it won't be long before

archer can join her friend, and she vows it will be the last she'll see of this suffolk county jail. >> i'm getting released in five days and i'm trying to get to a program. and i'm going to stay clean. i'm not going to come back here. >> archer recently took a small step towards freedom when she was allowed to join the jail's community works program. twice a week, the program sends low-security inmates outside the jail to perform public service, such as painting and landscaping. >> get out of jail for the day, you go and work a real job. you only get $3 a day, but it's worth it to me, because it helps me get through my day and it's getting me back into the real world, you know what i mean? >> it's almost like a stepping stone, before you get out the door. they're seeing people, going to work, children with their families. it's different than being housed with 30 females. they're actually back in population.

it's a gradual thing. >> i don't think they have any smaller. >> today, some female inmates are headed to a public library to shovel snow. >> the classification process to get into the community works program is very strict. you can't have escape charges, parole violations, you know, fighting while you're in here. >> the program's director, assistant deputy superintendent heather mcneil has known archer for years. >> cynthia archer, i've known probably since 1991, when i first started. she's been in and out. she was in here with her mother in '91. we're almost working together, which is kind of scary. >> wait until friday. >> i know. i know that. i know that. >> take a shovel. >> she has been in and out for so long, this is kind of like home. unfortunately. she feels probably safer in here than she does on the street. >> i'm just happy to be doing

something. like normal, you know? >> daniel esdale is also hoping for a bit more freedom. he has five weeks left to serve on his two-year sentence for possession of a firearm. as unlikely as it is, he's still holding out home that he can serve that time in general population. >> it's still a possibility. like this big, this big, that i might go to pop. i might. i doubt it. >> esdale is currently back in segregation after refusing to perform his job in the jail infirmary. >> open four, please. >> but he sees it as just one small slip-up after four months what was for him, unusually good behavior. today, he's meeting with jail officials, where he will learn what's in store for him. >> chances are i'm going to get administrative because of my history in the building. they're not going to let me go to pop, because they think as soon as i go to pop, i'm going to come right back here.

because i'm going to fight. >> assistant director of classification, cindy walland is in charge of esdale's administrative. it's not the first time she's seen him. >> how are you doing today? >> fine. >> this is not where i wanted us to be, you know that, right? >> yeah. >> what happened? >> i caught a ticket. >> i know you caught a ticket, but you seemed to be spiraling out of control before that. >> because i kept getting restricted for no reason. >> daniel's a little bit of a special case, he's a special case because of the level of violence he's shown in our facilities. staff assaults, fighting, continuous disruptions, you know, forced cell moves and he just doesn't stop. so now we need to move forward. >> i'm going to asu. >> correct. but you knew that. so what we're going to do is place you into asu, i would say probably for the remainder of your sentence. okay? >> no restraints, right? >> correct. we're starting you out in asu, no restraint. you came out of the infirmary,

it was nothing violent. no reason to put you on full restraint, but you know that can be our next step. we can move further than that if that's the way you want to go out. i hope it's not. you don't have that much time. a little over a month left with this. i hope you can just ride that out and do what you're supposed to. do you have any questions about what is going to happen? >> with what? >> with asu, with, you know, i want to be clear about everything. >> doesn't get no better than asu. i go to asu, nothing else can change. i can't go to pop, so, no, no questions. >> all right. thank you. >> now, knowing he will spend his last five weeks at suffolk county in segregation, esdale is led back to his cell. >> he's a player. he's the type of inmate who reads you and if you're afraid of him, he's going to act tough. if you're not afraid of him, he won't act tough. >> i knew what was going to happen. >> he doesn't know where his lies begin and his truths end. very compulsive. he likes to keep himself clean. he will beat up a cell mate because his cell mate doesn't

keep his cell clean. that's just his personality. >> it's just stupid, because i knew this [ bleep ] was going to happen where i can't leave the box. you know what i'm saying? take a dog out of the cage, he nibbles -- he don't even nibbles, he barks, because you're so used to him biting, instead ofbiting, instead of lo at the positive sign, saying, he barked, he didn't bite for a change. he barked. he might bite, throw him back in the cable. that's corny. all do you is lock him in a [ bleep ]. look at this it is a [ bleep ]. at least i know where i'm gonna be at though, right? >> while s. dale's new feature appears settled, cindy archer's has suddenly taken an uncertain term. she has just returned from her work detail. >> why did they have your bra? >> i don't know. i have no idea.

>> when we strip searched her just now, we found there was cigarette residue all over her bra, that she discarded, obviously, it is all over the bra. looked like she may have smoked it. >> there was makeup the other day, that was t that's all that was on there i don't have no cigarettes, believe me. i don't know what they are talking about, it was only makeup from the other day, that was it. that was it. i'm not caught with nothing. they searched me. i don't have nothing. >> having tobacco could delay archer's release but since officers have only found residue, she will not face any consequences. >> she is leaving friday, probably hold her inside, she will not go back outside until she leaves on friday and that will be the end of it, because there is no contraband right now on this bra. maybe she doesn't want to leave. maybe she wants to stay. that might be one of the reasons, she is afraid to leave here, she is trying to self-sabotage herself. coming up, big developments for three suffolk county inmates.

the money. >> i'm gonna bail out hopefully and beat this care the way most of these cases i have on my record that i have beaten. people don't show up, hoping that happens. when i beat these cases, i'm all done. i think i'm going to trite mundane life. >> but espinosa has tried before. >> when i get to a spot i think i should be, the house you can the car, that is usually when i pick up. i will start out smoking weed, thinking it is okay to smoke weed once in a while and that progression leads me back to heroin and once i pick up heroin, i just look at everything i have and i go, probably got like three or four months before this is all gone and i can't stop until it's all gone. i've been happy, real happy, but sometimes i like the pain. a boxed life.
