8:25 pm
potentially securing her freedom, for hillsborough county officials, it's much more serious. >> dee dee moore has been a challenge for us. the one thing i think that's lost on dee dee moore, at least from the letters that i've seen from her, is that when she brings this kind of attention from herself from outside these walls, her safety's at risk. other inmates resent that. >> i'll call you back again on friday. i get out every other day. i told you, dogs in kennels get out more than i do. okay. well, thank you. you have a good day. okay, bye. coming up -- >> this is bull [ bleep ]. >> luis harris grows frustrated by his restrictions. >> i'm becoming irritated and impatient. >> and douglas burden starts earning back some privileges.

8:31 pm
i think it's a complete misrepresentation of my mental health status. i think it's unwarranted. it's definitely not necessary. >> while most confinement inmates are allowed phone calls, daily visits and an hour of recreation, those on suicide watch are barred from all these privileges. >> these cells you go crazy because there's absolutely nobody to talk to, nothing to hear, nothing to listen. you don't have any human contact. >> if an inmate is on a suicide watch or direct observation, we can't have him running around where he could run up the stairs and jump off and so forth. it's when restrictions are lifted he gets his telephone or recreation or whatever other privileges are provided. >> to me, it kind of defeats the purpose, because if you're not suicidal, being succumbed to the circumstances in that unit will get you there, because it will create a lot of anger, a lot of impatience, to where, okay, you want to say i'm suicidal? well, now i am. now i am going to try to kill myself. >> but today, harris gets a
8:32 pm
short break from his cell while deputies perform a routine inspection. >> inmates can be really creative. they hollow out books and stash weapons or drugs or possible medication in there. i just want to shake everything out and make sure no medication is going to fall out. inmates like to hide things in the least desirable spot we want to touch, so that's why it makes sense for us to check those spots. it's amazing how often you'll find something good. >> in fact, the search does turn up some contraband. >> there's psychotropic medications that he was evidently what they call so-called cheeking. where they take the medication in front of us, act like they've swallowed it and haven't, place it on the tongue and cheek and saving it for some other time. for some other purpose. if they take a higher dosage than they're supposed to, it could be to get a euphoric effect or a high, commit suicide. his cell will be deliberately searched to make sure that's not happening. >> this is bull [ bleep ] and i don't need to be kept here. i'm becoming irritated. i'm becoming impatient. and everybody has their limits.
8:33 pm
we're only human, and i think i'm reaching my limit. i don't think the staff realizes it or maybe they want it to get to that point, but it's a ticking time bomb, you know? it's a ticking time bomb. >> douglas burden was once a ticking time bomb himself. it has been almost two years since he exploded in anger and attacked a 64-year-old deputy in his housing unit. today, burden says it wasn't personal, but the result of frustration. >> i thought i was being treated unfairly, because i wasn't going to court very often. i would go to court and i wouldn't get to get my word across to the judge or to anyone, so it felt like i couldn't get my voice out there. so, one day, i just snapped and i decided to choke out a deputy. while he wasn't looking, i just jumped behind the counter and grabbed him in a choke hold and i started choking him. >> could you have killed him? >> easily, but that's what we're taught in the marine corps.
8:34 pm
>> since then the jail's medical staff has kept burden stable through medication. >> i've been taking my meds. i've been doing a lot better. this is the best i ever felt, ever since i was diagnosed with schizophrenoform. >> are you a threat to these deputies here? >> no. >> why not? >> because me being ex-military, i feel like i'm on their side, i'm on the same side as them, so you can trust me and you can love me, so. >> as burden rebuilds trust with jail deputies, he's begun gaining back privileges. >> two times a week i get to have inside recreation, and two times a week i get to have outside recreation, i get to shoot basketball. i just try to follow the rules, be good so i can get my recreation time. i just want to get out and run about three miles, you understand, i want to run all over the place. coming up -- >> i want disney to search for prince charming.

"i hope you get bigger in working out so you can look good for the girls." i need to make her some grandkids. >> but burden's entire future depends on what happens in court. he could face up to 30 years in prison for his attack on the deputy, but he plans to tell the court that he was not competent when he committed that crime, nor when he was originally arrested. >> it's pretty hard to go on outside of jail with a criminal record, so the best thing that could happen is that they drop
