up. >> it's like a 2,000 pound gorilla on my back. it carries a penalty. it's something that is reality. >> until recently, contact visits, a chance for death row inmates have been prohibited. >> let me tell you, these guys have mamas and sisters and grandmas and all of that. i don't think after the executed, i'm pretty passionate about letting them have that contact visit if i know security is going to prevail which you're not doing it as much for them but you're doing it for their family and a lot of people misunderstand that. well, his mother didn't commit the murder, you know, and you have to think about all sides of it when you're making decisions. >> contact visits or not, their time at angola ends at the death house. the method is lethal injection.

>> you get the shoulder straps on and i'm going to close the curtain and outcome the emts and they are going to start the ivs. we have until 6:00 tonight to do it. there's the two phones and they go to the department of corrections into the governor's mansion but they never ring. i give a signal, nod my head that i'm starting the process and they will start pushing the drugs. and then it takes about a minute and a half to breathe the two breaths usually and then they'll stop breathing. >> if you find a vvein, he got rush and raised up in the straps. i was holding his hand. he wound up having to put my thumb under here and push his shoulder to the table and hold that so the i.v. wouldn't rub on

the strap and dislodge and at the same time i'm holding his hand. you kind of get in conflict with yourself. you're holding their hand and giving comfort but again i couldn't be there to hold the victim's hand but i would have so you do what you can here. >> warden cain has overseen six executions during his tenure. death by lethal injection might have been temporarily stalled but never falters the population even they dream of freedom. >> i have dreams. >> about two weeks later at this

time put you on board, because of the nature of your crime which you're never going to change. never. so here i am. with hope and faith. i'm going to die here. >> since death is a reality, most men here must face, the casket shop never lack for work. >> 30 years, you know, the time goes on and people get old and people i've made friends with for 30 years. za warden cain just what you make of it.

prison, you know, it's a terrible aspect that you have to be away from the people that you love, you know, your family, your children. my daughter wasn't born when i got locked up and now i'm a grandfather. >> some deceased are picked up by family members and buried as free men. for most, there's point lookout. >> definitely bad to die if you're in prison. they have a nice service and they buried. coming up, the battle to keep the prison clean requires a shakedown. sometimes they win, sometimes they don't. >> it's really amazing where

they can hide still. hungry for the best? it's eb. want to give your family the very best in taste, freshness, and nutrition? it's eb. want to give them more vitamins, omega 3s, and less saturated fat? it's eb. eggland's best eggs. eb's. the only eggs that make better taste and better nutrition... easy. eggland's best eggs. better taste. better nutrition. better eggs. it's eb.

around that time. it's depressing. >> i really like christmas. if i stop long enough and think about it, i'll get teary-eyed. but it will pass. january 1st, it will be all over with. >> there is no place in angola where the spirit of christmas is stronger than at the toy shop. the toys are distributed to needy children throughout louisiana. >> what we're going to make for you now is basically all year process. the only time we stop is when we run out of wood. >> this is the best job in prison. it's a lot of fun. it's a time of year you enjoy being in the toy shop.

when i was small, very seldom did i have any toys. all along the prison i'm still a human being and i love christmas and i love children. it makes us all feel good. when you mount these on here, that's your axis. you can see how the car can ride. okay in now you've got a little car. >> while hard work and faith in god keeps the prison running smoothly, order can cannot be maintained without a shakedown crew in daily pursuit of inmates not wanting to play by the rules. >> kind of random because you've got 18,000 acres to cover. they are in their cells 24 hours

a day, seven days a week. there's probably not a spot in this cell that something hasn't been found in. it's really amazing where all they can hide stuff. >> do you know we're coming? >> no. >> finding contraband, such as food or nonprisoned approved merchandise can lead to writeups. the less severe have few consequences. the more severe get you back to camp j. random searches are the norm. the odd tip or simply good police work the most effective. >> tips are good. we get a lot of tips. the majority of time we find

stuff. you just kind of come across it, the right time, right place. >> once upon a time, weapons were required for an inmate to survive. today drugs are the most common contraband found. >> i found a syringe. use that to shoot up with. can't pin it on nobody, you know what i mean, so you just confiscate it and let the warden know about it. >> if i'm talking to you, you need to be straight up with me. don't let me find out different when i leave here. did you have this at your party? >> you know, of course. >> man, don't lie to me. see that right there, that makes me very angry. needles, where are they at? >> needles, i have needles. >> in that wallet. >> i was very close to that. don't do that, okay? don't keep them there. you need to put them somewhere if somebody comes to shake your

stuff down, you tell them that you have needles in this box. >> that's the only ones that i have right there. >> although needles are not allowed in personal lockers, they rarely result in a writeup. >> what's this for? >> you don't do tattoos, do you? so if i look at the rest of this stuff i'm not going to find parts to make tattoos? >> you're not going to find any parts of anything. >> why do you keep your antenna in your wallet? >> i'm going to check on a few things and get back with you. >> okay. i want to make sure you're telling the truth. >> all right. i'm going to check on some things. >> throw my stuff around and stuff and i'm just living.

i don't have anything here i'm not supposed to have. all of this is official. >> how do you feel now in. >> i feel violated, man, checking on my tattoos and stuff. like that makes a difference. telling me about my tattoos. this is free where i work. i got this in california. i got this in new or len. i've been around. you know what i'm saying? people playing games. there's nothing here in violation. >> while no contraband turned up in donald logan's shakedown, a pipe made from a pen is found in another dorm. >> it was found in an inmate's box and you can smell it. apparently they have been using it to smoke marijuana. i'm going to take it to the investigators and crack it open and see if they can get residue out of it and test it.

>> a full-time investigation team has been set up. >> since we don't have the red, it could have been positive for marijuana but it's inconclusive. >> just because it didn't test positive doesn't mean it wasn't being used for narcotics. once it's burned and smoked, it's harder to test than something that hasn't been burned. >> but he'll still be charged with contraband for the ink pen because he used it for an other source than what he's supposed to use it for. >> that is marijuana. >> the investigation unit is lead by retired police officer. >> we're a unit within this prison. we investigate everything involving the correctional officers as well as the inmates.

that's everything from, you know, stealing back con to murd >> while a certain contraband is brought in from prisoners, most come through from relationships. >> most come from wives, family members, inside their false teeth, body cavities. there's all kinds of ways that they can bring it in. if the dogs don't hit on it at the gate and it goes through, we have no mechanism to stop that. if it's positive, it will be the same color or close to the same color than what you see on that package. it will be a red. as soon as she breaks, it happens. see that? so this is some good stuff. very merry christmas and absolutely happen knee new year. coming up, 6,000 inmates trapped in after new orleans is
