for many jail inmates, their stay behind bars can be relatively short, and often their first visit is their last. for others, like 24-year-old nick, back-to-back arrests have led to a revolving door relationship at boston's suffolk county jail.

8:17 pm
>> 34-year-old ryan has been coming to jail since bubanas was a child. being locked up together has made this stay a little easier. >> to see him in here hurts, you know, but at the same time, it's nice to have people around that genuinely care about you, that you know they got your back if something happens. it's good recreation. he's a funny kid. keeps me laughing all day long. same routine for almost 20 years. my grandmother used to call it life on the installment plan. ryan, unfortunately, i have bad news, you're going to be doing life on the installment plan is what she used to say to me. i used to hate her saying that to me. no, i'm not. i'm doing life on the

8:19 pm
>> he does about, i'd say, eight to ten cups a day. tough habit to keep up with, the coffee habit. >> but on the outside, mcnee and his brother share far more dangerous addictions. >> on an average day, coy spend anywhere from $300, $500 to $1,000 a day. >> on what? >> heroin, cocaine. i lived the life of an addict to the fullest and i'm embarrassed by it. >> drugs have had a hold on mcnee and bubanas since a young age, and they've played a major role in their troubles with the law. >> when we're out there getting high, all we're thinking about is the next high. scheming, plotting. what we'll do, how we're going to do this, how we're going to get that one. >> i'm like jekyll and hyde when i'm using, when i'm not using. when you put something in my system, all bets are off. i'm a whole different person. i'm not a good person. i don't do good things for nobody.

8:21 pm
>> bubanas could have his next chance on the outside very soon. he's due in court in two days to face the judge on his assault and battery charge, but he's optimistic the case will by thrown out because his girlfriend is unwilling to testify against him. >> that's why you just hope for the best and expect the worst, you know? >> expecting the worst is key to security in the segregation unit. >> both these guys coming. >> yeah. >> for instance, when delshaun bloodworth and david peters are released from the cell for the one hour of daily recreation, they are not only handcuffed, but shackled at the ankles. >> have to be, because they're such a threat to fight. and it's just -- it's for their safety and for ours. >> you guys feeling like a real criminal here.

8:35 pm
it was the most beautiful disgusting thing i have ever seen in my life, i think. when she came out, i cut the cord. my kid's mother held her first. and they passed her to me, and it's weird how something -- how you can just meet somebody and already instantly have love for them. you know what i mean? a love that you can't describe. you would do anything for them. and that's my motivation right now to get out and try to do the right thing for her. hopefully it works this time. hopefully i do something different. she deserves it. she needs her parents in her life, you know? >> today bubanas is on his way to court where he hopes charges of assault and battery will be dropped because the alleged victim, his girlfriend, refuses to testify against him. bubanas' older brother ryan mcnee has mixed feelings about the day.
8:36 pm

8:37 pm
within a few months. it's the unknown. you know what i mean? the probability of me going and returning to society doing the same thing i've always done is high, you know what i mean? the chips are definitely stacked against me. i want to change. i want to do something different. sometimes it's just tough. you know? >> a few hours later bubanas would have his chance for a fresh start. his charges were dismissed in court, and he was set free. when the news reached ryan, he had some words of advice for his younger brother. >> nicholas, i wish you the best of luck. go out there and do the right thing. don't make the same mistakes we've always made. go home, go to uncle bernie's house, see your kid. don't be too anxious to get back here because you know what you're going to get if you come back here.
8:38 pm
you know, do something for yourself. i love you, kid. that's it. >> the 700 people we have currently in this facility, there's roughly 75 or 80 that are just constantly in trouble, on a constant rotation where they go to a unit, get in a fight, go back to segregation. it's a constant loop with some of these guys. david peters falls into that category. >> after serving 30 days in segregation for fighting along his good friend dellshaun bloodworth, david peters was given another chance to live on a general population unit. it didn't last long. he joined four others in assaulting another inmate on the unit and is now back in segregation. but he says the other guy is the one who started it. >> i guess he had an issue with one of my friends.
8:39 pm
he thought that the best way to handle it would be to try and swing on my friend. so, when we all seen that, we all reacted. first thing that we did, threw him on the floor, flipped him, started stomping his head into the tiles. we only could do so much because we're all in the way. i'm trying to kick him, but my man is right there. trying to hit him. it's all, all crazy. it was crazy. yeah. he caught the worst end of it. >> hey, guys. >> deputy stangle will decide how many days peters must serve in segregation. >> you guys messed up yourselves the way we look at it. that was a one-on-one between that man and lewis. >> yeah, but, you know. >> i know. you guys all join in because you all play as a group. >> yeah. yeah. you already know. >> i know, i know. problem is we don't like groups. groups are bad. groups get people hurt. groups get people charged with
8:40 pm
assault and battery within the facility. >> yeah, yeah. can't afford no more. >> you can't. >> i been here five months, i think i got in six fights, been in the hole six times. i mean, you got to fight. it happens. it's just instinct, you react. so, this is basically what happens. you hit me, i hit you back. you think about it after in the hole, when you're sitting in there like damn. >> along with determining how many days peters must serve in segregation, deputy stangle must also decide where to place him when his stay in segregation is over. >> he came into the building with issues and since being here picked up issues in the building that make it very difficult for us to house him here. you guys did not start this fight, but you guys did finish it. especially edgar, all right? so what are we going to do with you?
8:41 pm
i can't guarantee it. it's not my end of the business. i do this end, i do the seg unit, but i will recommend that you guys go back to 24. >> peters has had major conflicts with at least five other inmates, and the jail tries to separate likely combatants. >> that makes five units i can't put david peters on, considering we only have 11 units to actually work with here, it makes him very difficult to be house. >> i'm probably a headache to stangle. i get into fights. these people, these people, he don't know where to put me. everywhere i go, i'm gone. i'm going to cause somebody a headache, i'm going to start something. >> see that's the thing, i don't want to put my man in a situation where -- >> i'm going to make sure he goes somewhere else safe, too. >> very much like a soap opera, a lot of silly drama. you keep track the best you can. they do the time, go back to another general population unit. sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't.
8:42 pm
they come back here and i'm left picking up the pieces. >> stangle is on top of his game. he tries his best to -- who is from where, who got problems with who, but, there's no way you can pinpoint everything. he's all right though. he's all right. >> at the end of the day when you do get out of here, you know, i don't like return trips. i'll leave it at that. >> coming up, delshaun bloodworth's life at the suffolk county jail takes a major detail. and ryan mcnee gets news from his brother. >> he's doing what he does, probably before i leave here, he might be back here. who knows? ard gives you 1% cash back on all purchases, plus a 50% annual bonus. and everyone but her likes 50% more cash, but i have an idea. do you want a princess dress? yes. cupcakes? yes. do you want an etch-a-sketch? yes! do you want 50% more cash?
