they openly declared war against each other. they are preparing themselves for battle. >> you have inmates names and numbers. why? >> because they are my homies. >> the guys i talked to said you are not going to be able to do anything about it. they will retaliate. >> make sure you check everything. use the metal detectors, the
9:03 pm
mirrors. check every single thing. they know where to hide. >> when they come out, they come out in their boxers and shower suits only. no watches. no rings. no medallions. nothing else. everything else stays in their cells. one thing we learned was the inmates said what they are doing is taking their shanks to the strip cage. they are putting them on the floor. what we are doing today is following up on what occurred on level 6 last week. several members overpowered an officer in the recreation area, took the keys from her and stabbed a rifle member numerous times. as a result of that, we initiated shake downs. we completed level 6 yesterday. we are headed to level 5 to conduct interviews to see if there's follow up information or weapons here to see if they are going to continue.
9:04 pm
if any assaults are going to occur, the likelihood is it might occur in this unit. the inmates have the opportunity for activity. they can come out of their cells, six at a time so if there's going to be retaliation, it's possible it would happen here. >> this is where it all starts off. a small nail clipper here. what they do is come over here, right here. they will start working it. working it. take a piece how big they want it. they work it and work it until it cuts into the metal. and every time they leave their cell or whatever they will get taj paste and soap, mix it up and just layer it. anytime you come in here, they
9:05 pm
can see this and can't rougher it up. that's what they used for the assault. two-pieces that came to shank that one inmate came from here. that's why they started doing this. this is contraband now. >> although level 6 is on lockdown, we're allowed to talk to one inmate about the toll the restrictions are making. >> i haven't been able to visit with my sister or mother because of this thing that happened in the separate housing unit. with two other inmates that had nothing to do with me. it's not right. it's a nuisance. it's annoying because i don't behave in a way that merits my suspension of privileges, visits commissary. nor do a lot of other guys for that matter. we're being punished collectively.
9:06 pm
two weeks ago, they came and took away our nail clippers. we weren't allowed access except for on sunday night. if we needed to cut our nails, the corrections officer would give them to us and then take them back. we weren't allowed to have them in our cells. now they came and took them with no explanation. now this is the result. if i act out and create problems, then i earned this. it's not my problem something is happening somewhere else. i didn't do anything to anybody and nobody did anything to me. >> after hours of searching, they find the first clue that gang violence may be imminent at the level 5 facility. >> almighty. guard our battles. >> chosen now o great god, those who must be killed and taken alive through sacrifice to drink their heart's blood. oh, lord.
9:07 pm
we beg you smile upon us those that will die on this field or on your alter. the choice of which, you are is entirely up to you. what this is, it's a prayer of war. it's not very often that you find a prayer from a gang member or a specific gang preparing themselves for battle. this is something unique. we know they are preparing themselves for battle. they are giving us enough information to let us know something is coming down the road. it's imminent. we're trying to see who is who and what is what and identify sleeper gang members out there in the compound. identify them so we know who they are and see if we can stop a future assault. >> violent incidents like the recent gang stabbing in level 6, simply adds to the tension already felt in the supermax facility, especially for michael dailey.
9:08 pm
who spent five years under protective custody for his own safety. >> they call me happy because the last laughs are always on me. i have been living in level 6 since i got incarcerated in april of 2003. i'm here involuntary protective custody. the institution says there's a threat against my life. in my case, that's why i was in level 6. that's all i'm going to say about that. that's why i was in level 6. >> there's a story there, huh? >> there's a lot of stories. i'm happy to say it out there, but not in here. this is a big week for me. i'm getting released into the community. i'm surprised i made it this far. the stuff that i've seen and the
9:09 pm

many level 6 inmates won't get out of the supermax facility until they are released on parole. for another group, there's only one way out. >> this is unit 4. it's where lethal injection is administered to inmates sentenced to death. since 1912 when the state of mexico became a state, we have executed 26 people. the last one and the only one we did in this area was teri clark on november 6th, 2001. there are two inmates sentenced to death in the state of new mexico. one of those inmates, robert fry, is housed here at level 6. >> this is my wonderful piece of heaven. 7 foot by 12 foot. >> robert fry was sentenced to death in 2005. he's currently in the appeal process. >> we first met robert while shooting in 2005. >> let me ask you a question. is it a greater sin to steal a cracker or to kill someone?

9:26 pm
murdered? >> this man beat this woman to death with a sledgehammer because he wanted to have sex with her and she didn't want to. and i didn't stop it. the same man that killed the woman i'm convicted of murdering was involved in the death of the other gentleman. he was either strangled or beaten to death, they are not sure which. it was bad enough they couldn't make a determination as to which killed him, the strangling or the beating. as far as the other two murders, both of these men were friends of mine, good friends. one man, i knew, he wasn't a man. he was a 19-year-old boy. i knew him since he was 5 years old. they were beaten and throats cut. they died violently, very violently. i think that going to certain death, you really become aware of how you live, what days you have left.

9:38 pm
there was consistency, so we had the same officer coming in four or five days a week. then he'd have two days off. he would then come back on. i studied him and his mannerisms and behavior. when i got to the point i felt comfortable, i made my move. it was after they opened up the cell doors for evening chow. while everybody was eating, i sat down next to him on his bed and talked to him. he got up. turned on his light, which sat across the desk on the wall to roll a cigarette. bible paper. when he turned his back to me, i stood on the bed and put the rope around his neck. he fought me and threw me around the room. surprisingly strong. i guess when you're fighting for your life, you have strength. ultimately, he couldn't get the rope off his neck. and he succumbed. once he died, i put him back to bed like he was asleep. turned off his light.
9:39 pm
>> you got away with it? >> i got away with it. i went and picked a fight with some black guys in another pod just to do that because i knew if i created friction in the pod and all kinds of different things were happening at once, law enforcement would never know what happened. about nine years later the cold case homicide officer came and he talked to me in this visiting room right here and he asked me, and i told him. he offered me a deal. if i admitted to it, they would run the life sentence concurrent with the life sentence that i'm in prison for right now. but, i'm in here because i was a member of the snm and now i declare i'm on my own, the state is not going to let me out to the population because they are not sure if i'm going to get hurt or they're not sure if i'm manipulating to them or lying to them. as a result, i'm stuck. good or bad. convinced he'll never reach

be released from the prison where he spent the last five years of his life. >> hey, take it easy. >> that's a sound you don't forget. ever. the sound of the doors. he just did something that never happens. he took off all my cuffs and chains. all my chains. >> how do you feel right now? >> this is weird because i don't have the handcuffs on and i'm still rubbing my wrists. i feel way different now. it's a process of freedom and i'm nervous because i'm not used to being like this. i don't feel normal because i'm used to having the handcuffs on me.
9:54 pm
>> how i do like. >> they'll recognize you, man. >> here's your i.d. >> okay. >> monday morning. 8:00. you were supposed to report 24 hours from the parole. >> okay. now, i'm going to go see my mom. she's out front waiting for me. it's about being responsible now. a lot of people, what a lot of people do is they leave here not understanding the consequences. but, i'm fixing to do good. i feel really good right now. >> look at you, no handcuffs. no shackles. finally, after six years.
9:55 pm
>> i missed you, mom. sorry. >> for what? quit saying that. oh. oh. >> i just wanted to thank you for everything you have done because without you, i probably wouldn't have made it out here. because you gave me hope. and in there, if you ain't got hope, you ain't got nothing and you ain't got nothing to live for. you do what you got to do in prison to live. >> but she gave me hope and everything. i appreciate it, mom. >> here we are. back together. >> this sham committee that's
9:56 pm
going to be run on me, this is pretty much a myth that this committee will result in any action. as a result, i'm stranded here at this facility even though i'm not getting misconduct reports or any of those things. >> unlike happy, fredrico is never getting out of prison. as a validated gang member, the only way to leave level 6 is through an out of state transfer. >> fredrico, how are you? >> fine, yourself? >> pretty good. i reviewed your file and back in march, 2007, you went to committee for a release or out of state transfer. >> yes. >> i don't find anything in there whether they approved you or denied you. anything. we're going to do another custody transfer review. i didn't set you up yet. if you do me a favor sign here
9:57 pm
waiving your 48 hours and sign here and initial here because you are here. i wanted to ask you, if you want to go out of state? >> yes. >> another thing, before i can submit it to central office, i need to get a medical clearance. sometimes that takes a long time for medical, i don't know why. >> my file has been released for medical five or six different times. i've done that. i signed that form five or six different times over the last year. >> really? it's not here. maybe it won't take so long and we can hurry the process up. >> great. >> this is what i wrote. custody transfer review. we're referring you for an out-of-state transfer. justification is inmate meets criteria with an indefinite sentence. by signing it doesn't mean you agree or disagree, you are informed of the action.
9:58 pm
we are referring for you an out-of-state transfer. just a recommendation, doesn't mean they have to approve it, however, i think they will.
