tv   Lockup Holman  MSNBC  June 14, 2013 9:00pm-10:01pm PDT

9:00 pm
really good. i felt like i made a difference today. due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. america's prisons, dangerous, often deadly. there are 2 million people doing time. every day is a battle to survive and to maintain order. >> down on your feet. down. >> located in the deep south, holman correctional facility, where most are serving life sentences. we spent months documenting life on the inside, where the prisoners have nothing but time and nothing to lose. this is "lockup: holman, extended stay."
9:01 pm
it requires a unique set of skills to run a violent prison like holman. >> all the way on this side. all the way back to the line. that's your line. >> warden grantt culliver embodies them. he's authoritative. >> you know that. >> dynamic, and tough. >> you are not going to win an academy award. >> he shows compassion for the inmates he oversees, many of whom will never get out. but when violence explodes at holman -- >> move in. lock him up. >> -- his zero tolerance policy is in full effect. >> lockdown. we are on a lockdown.
9:02 pm
administrative segregation is home to roughly 200 inmates. confined to their cells 23 hours a day. these men often become defiant and desperate. when an inmate acts up in general population, he's moved to ad-seg. but when he acts up in ad-seg, the officers' only option is to periodically move the inmate from cell to cell. >> we're going to move him out. be a little bit particular with him, because he's already hostile. let's use caution with him. okay? >> put your hands behind you. cuff up. >> stick your hands out. >> shower stall right now.
9:03 pm
>> jamie bell is temporarily housed in the shower stall until his new cell is cleaned and inspected. >> all i'm asking is somebody stop harassing me. >> our crew first encountered jammy bell more than a year earlier when he was outraged over unsanitary conditions in his cell. >> i can't breathe in here. my toilet is filled up with feces. >> today, he's moving to a new cell after an inmate threw urine and feces through the ventilation. >> i'll check. going to have the same problem, man. >> do what you're supposed to do. let me see your hands. >> [ bleep ], ain't ever going to change, man.
9:04 pm
>> we just moved him into the cell just now. >> listen. jammy bell. listen. listen. >> [ bleep ]. >> the department has this thing about profane language. so you got a guy that's acting out. you go up to him and you say, joe, i need to you quit banging on that door. i'm trying to talk to you. i'm trying to talk to you. you think he understands that? it don't click. if you would shut the [ bleep ] up, you can understand why we're so pissed off with your ass in this damn unit. stop acting like a child. [ bleep ] everybody is tired of your ass here. if i can get to your language, if i can get to what you
9:05 pm
understand day-to-day, that's what we use. when all else fails, you know, we take it up a notch farther. >> take his ass, put him on the death row side and leave him. >> put your hands out there. >> you are going [ bleep ]. >> [ bleep ]. i'm not going to put my hands out. >> i'm not going to let one individual disrupt a thousand. there are forces needed to remove you from one area to the other, so be it. >> are you going to cuff up? >> man threatened my life. >> listen to me. >> that's good. well, he refused to cuff up and come out. we're going to move him out because he caused a disturbance, and the warden said move him out on the bullpen, let him get fresh air and calm down. he refused to cooperate, wouldn't cuff up so i gave the officer order to spray him. after a short order of time,
9:06 pm
he'll be ready to come out and get the spray off him. it may take longer than normal today. he's pretty agitated. >> you sprayed me for no reason. >> let's go ahead and move him. check back on him in a minute. >> if he continues to get louder, i'll call the warden, possibly to a cell extraction. the unit will get calm again because everybody is kind of in an uproar at the moment. he's getting loud enough i think i'll maybe have to call him. >> after more than an hour of continuous yelling, the sergeant is left with no choice but to inform the warden. >> we sprayed jammy bell. he's still refusing to cuff up and come out. he's pretty loud and getting louder, it seems like. go ahead and go in and get him? that's what i was hoping but i wanted to make sure you was good with it. thank you. all right, fellows. we're going to do a cell extraction. >> give you one more chance to cuff up and come out.
9:07 pm
>> listen to me one time. put the handcuffs on. come out the cell. all right. >> let's go on death row bullpen. >> i'm bad because you all doing your jobs incorrectly, man. >> any one of them. >> that mother [ bleep ]. you [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> you stay out there until we get everybody else in, he calms down, we'll bring him back. if he gets incompliant, we bring him back. if we have to, we'll do whatever it takes. >> inmate throwing [ bleep ] in my ventilation and they allowed it. >> somebody told me you were going to do an audition for "american idol." you all got that together? >> we're going to get it together. >> when i came in five years ago, one of the things was to try and change the culture of this facility from a no-care type of an attitude to let
9:08 pm
people know that we did care. you are locked up but then you should consider this as home, because the majority of you, that's what it is. >> let me step back in my barbershop. get your shirt back on like you're supposed to. >> i don't like sloppiness. i just think you can do better. if you can't do any better, it's one thing. but if you can do better, you need to take care of yourself. get your clothes together, guys. get your clothes together. get your clothes together. >> warden culliver is a sign of change. since he's been here, he's implemented several good programs. >> the facility used to be open. you could go and come as you please. so we implemented a few things. not allowed to go in anybody's housing unit. implemented arm bands to help identify which housing unit you should be assigned to. >> it serves as an identification as far as my living quarters. every dorm here has a band and the band indicates what color
9:09 pm
the door that you walk in. it's a controlled environment, a structured environment. >> people feel a lot more comfortable now. you don't have guys that sleep with their knives as much now. i contribute that to staff, and the control factors that have been put in. i attribute it to the overall culture of the facility just changing. >> once a week warden culliver walks the tiers of ad-seg, >> don't slip, no. >> acting as a sounding board for those men locked up 23 hours a day. >> it look like you like lockup. why you keep coming back? if that guy steps on your toes a little bit, that's not what my intent is, but i need to give it to you straight. your mouth. you're going to have to learn how to control that. if you're ever going to make it. we deal with people. that's what we do. it takes a hell of a person to deal with people that no other citizens want to be bothered with, to be able to walk among
9:10 pm
these people day in and day out, give instructions, tell them what to do, manage them without creating problems. next on "lockup: extended stay" -- >> move it. lock him up. >> violence erupts in holman. and for warden culliver, that means no holds barred. >> i want the whole housing unit locked down. we are under a lockdown. bjorn earns unlimited rewards for his small business. take these bags to room 12 please. [ garth ] bjorn's small business earns double miles on every purchase every day. produce delivery. [ bjorn ] just put it on my spark card. [ garth ] why settle for less? ahh, oh! [ garth ] great businesses deserve unlimited rewards. here's your wake up call. [ male announcer ] get the spark business card from capital one and earn unlimited rewards. choose double miles or 2% cash back on every purchase every day. what's in your wallet? [ crows ] now where's the snooze button? accomplishing even little things can become major victories.
9:11 pm
i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. when i was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel for my pain and stiffness, and to help stop joint damage. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. since enbrel helped relieve my joint pain, it's the little things that mean the most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. vo: ta friend under water is end usomething completely different.
9:12 pm
i met a turtle friend today so, you don't get that very often. it seemed like it was more than happy to have us in his home. so beautiful. avo: more travel. more options. more personal. whatever you're looking for expedia has more ways to help you find yours.
9:13 pm
just as the crew is wrapping up for the day, the violent side of holman erupts. >> move it. come on. move him. lock him up. move him. move him.
9:14 pm
>> i got a knife. >> don't step on the blood. >> get my hall crew up. there's a mop and pail. they'll come out here and start the cleanup process. after we were getting laundry in, come back in from the other prison, over in the receiving area, they were in front unloading the laundry. heard him screaming and looked up and he was bleeding. grabbed him, pushed him out of the way. where he had him cornered up at, he could have probably killed him if he wanted to. looked like he may have got an artery. he was gushing out pretty good. >> he was in laundry. >> he had possession of a weapon. we documented that and
9:15 pm
processing it as we speak. >> should have a handle on it. it's been on a grinder. >> i don't want to touch it with the blood. >> i didn't see him pick it up. it's a good chance it was dropped off there by the metal fab near where we were taking the laundry. he could have picked it up laying in the grass or something. this isn't the first time. >> by the time we got there, just blood everywhere. >> come on. go back. >> come on. all right. i want the whole housing unit locked down. we are under a lockdown. >> all right, lockdown, gentlemen. let's go. take it in. let's go. >> someone just made it easy for you this afternoon.
9:16 pm
>> just a lot of [ bleep ]. worry about y'all. don't worry about nothing. >> they were unloading the laundry outside. and he handed a barrel to terry. when he handed it to him, i him holler oh [ bleep ]. came down with a knife. hit him. >> that was the handle? >> that was the handle. still got a burn mark on it. it just got bladed out of the metal fab. getting the laundry in, somebody had laid it out there for him. >> came out of the laundry, that's what you said? >> yes. >> just on the barrel. that's going to be a knife. >> we got a motive, tennis shoes. >> sold him tennis shoes then tried to sell them back to him. >> they worked on the laundry crew together. >> we're going to lockdown.
9:17 pm
because of a stabbing. i'm irritated with the stabbing. we're having too many. we're having four stabbings a year. it's july, we've already had four stabbings. and we seem to be increasing. for whatever reason. we shouldn't be increasing. we're just trying to check. we'll go back through and check, see what we can find out information wise. >> why does the whole prison have to be on lockdown? >> because that's what i want. that's what i feel like is best right now. they got to understand i'm not going to tolerate it. another day in the penitentiary. another day. >> less than 24 hours after the stabbing, the warden has regrouped, taken the prison off lockdown and is back in control. >> we get these out of here. we had the hall looking great last night. let's try to keep it that way. we learned a few things last
9:18 pm
night. which is always good. if you have an incident, at least make the best of it, try to learn what you can out of it. we reorganized the laundry, the way we bring our laundry in. the piece of metal, for things fresh coming off a grinder. i feel that took place in the metal fab. we have a couple suspects that may be producing weapons in the metal fab. we'll be looking at that to try to pull those guys out. it was actually about shoes being stolen. he said he paid the guy three bags of coffee and the guy stole the three bags of coffee plus didn't bring his shoes back, so that's why he stabbed him. >> he had about three stab wounds. the one in his side was serious. the doctor told him they just missed getting his liver, which would have been, could have been terminal. but after we got him back in from the hospital, he went on to ad-seg, and, of course, terry is moore is in ad-seg.
9:19 pm
they both will go through disciplinary process. moore is probably going to get assault with a weapon. he's looking at quite a long time in the segregation unit. next on "lockup: extended stay" -- >> it's not my first stab, it probably won't be the last time. >> stabber terry moore operates by a different set of rules. >> it's what had to be done. and later -- >> a hamburger and a soft drink. >> the warder shows a softer side. >> get you an ice cream cone. truth is, over sixty percent of america shops at walmart every month. i find what i need, at a great price. and the money i save goes to important things. braces for my daughter. a little something for my son's college fund. when people look at me, i hope they see someone building a better life. vo: living better: that's the real walmart.

9:22 pm
somebody let me sit down. i don't care who lets me sit down. >> holman is changing and the faith-based honor dorm reflects
9:23 pm
that transformation. this nondenominational self-governing dorm provides opportunities for inmates to achieve personal growth. >> men can come into that environment, be nurtured in their spiritual needs, i guess is one way to put it. they have an opportunity to be productive, have a sense of purpose in life. >> good morning. >> good morning, how you doing? >> living area, without a doubt, is much better than general population is. there are more tvs, there are more opportunities, you have computers, but everything is more structured, which means that there's a point systems, so if you mess up, you get points taken away, you have to keep a point level in order to be able to stay in the dorm. if there is any disciplinary action, you get moved out of the dorm. >> this is sort of like the home away from home. hopefully, this is temporary. very temporary. >> michael jordan was sentenced to life without parole from charges ranging from rape to burglary. he has called prison home for
9:24 pm
the past 24 years. >> after the honor dorm was developed, you know, i was still a little reluctant. i put in an application, got involved before i started doing janitorial work or whatever was needed of me originally. i went from there to taking on a leadership role, currently teaching classes. >> each inmate in honor dorm has a job. ray everidge is serving life for theft. his job is dorm security. >> my job consists of monitoring the dorm. i walk down each aisle and check for what they call uniformity. uniformity is where you check to make sure all the beds are properly clothed and make sure all their living area is in order. >> in general population, correctional officers can write
9:25 pm
up inmates for infractions. >> thank you. >> but here in the honor dorm, fellow inmates police the hallways. >> if you see anyone violating, you give them a warning, tell them to stop doing it. if you see a direct violation, it's your option to give them a writeup. if they're found guilty of that writeup, they two before a panel. and if you lose so many points, you get removed from the dorm. i love construction works. i have a building here i designed that i hope to build upon my release, god willing. you get out here, all that tension seems to gradually dissipate. this is a blueprint of what i built. maybe do something positive with life for a change. it gives you a different perspective on the things that you've done in your life. >> still, the warden runs a tight ship, even in honor dorm, and has noticed a recent increase in marijuana use. in his monthly meeting with the representatives from the dorm, he tackles this issue head-on. >> you can't tell me that the people in the dorm don't know who's using the dope or if
9:26 pm
you're selling or pushing dope out here. you can't tell me that you don't know who's doing that. it hurts the overall image and process of the community when it comes up like that. >> who's coordinator on duty? today we're heading into the faith dorm. there's some that have not made the grade, and i guess the one fellow we're going to talk to now is one who tested positive for trace elements, marijuana trace elements. >> you know why you're moving out? it's that reefer you smoked. >> i don't smoke no reefer. >> you were around it. some know how to beat the test. they don't have distinguishing traits between those who beat it and those who are around it. so you're suffering the consequences as a result of it. >> a single infraction is an automatic ticket back to the hectic atmosphere of general population. inmate laurence stall learned that lesson the hard way.
9:27 pm
>> there was a guy, he apparently thought i disrespected him somehow, and he asked me outside. as soon as we got out there, he swung on me. so we get into a little scuffle. ain't nothing real big. that's what caused me to get thrown out of the honor dorm. thanksgiving a year ago this may. honor dorm material. >> honor dorm material. >> that's me. hopefully pretty soon i'll be going back. i'm on top of the list now. >> without the possibility of parole, laurence stall has nothing but time to reflect on the events that landed him in prison 26 years ago. >> it was a homicide/robbery that got me here. i had never done any pcp. i was high, not really even thinking about what happened. we go rob a place and then two people got killed. we picked them up, took them out to a wooded area and they were killed. it's not really something i like to talk about a lot. and i've come to accept prison, you know, as my lot in life.
9:28 pm
>> we got one coming in on that bed. >> with a bed freeing up, chaplain summers informs the man at the top of the list that it's his time to move back to honor dorm. >> the lost lamb. we're coming to get you, man. >> i feel good. >> glad to get out of here. glad to get back out in the honor dorm. >> you're coming back? >> i hope not. >> that looks like it. >> i'm ready. >> you got my name. >> i didn't realize i had that much tension on me. you know, it was just like a weight that was lifted. >> for a guy serving life without parole, the honor dorm is as close to freedom as you'll ever get. >> where do we want to start? >> my bible. i have to give a shout out at my bible. step outside at nighttime, which is something i couldn't do for years. there's a lot of little perks i mean, most people take it for granted. just little bitty things we think a whole lot of just standing out under the stars for a minute.
9:29 pm
this is really a job. coming up on "lockup: extended stay" -- we meet one of the most infamous and violent inmates in holman. >> i go into these dorms where i stab and cut inmates and strangled inmates. i just snap and i go crazy. i turn murderous and dangerous. it's like i'm in commando mode or something.

which are the most violent and dangerous. steven parker is one of the most notorious. >> i'm in maximum security. i'm stuck in a lockup cell. they may not ever let me out of lockup because i have a tendency, every time i get out, i try to kill somebody. i go completely calm. i make up my mind what i'm going to do. i go into these zones where i turn into this cold-blooded. i don't know what causes it, other than just being depressed and feeling like i have nothing else to lose and nothing else to live for. i grew up pretty rough. my mother left when i was real young. i lived with my stepmother and my dad. and my stepmother, she was really hateful. she was kind of mean and abusive.
9:35 pm
i just wanted to kill her, and i thought that would be what ended the pain and the problems that she caused. one morning, i woke up about 4:00 in the morning and drove to where they was living, my stepmother and my dad and rang the doorbell. and when she answered the doorbell, i shot her at pointblank range. and then my dad -- my dad come around the corner on me and i shot him three times. i've always regretted shooting my dad because i felt like i was close to my dad. it almost killed me, you know? my stepsister called the police on me and i surrendered to the police that morning. i felt like i was at the end of my rope and i did what i did. >> our crew first met steven parker more than a year earlier during our shooting of the original "lockup: holman." he was in ad-seg back then and considered very dangerous. >> steven parker is crazy. he's not a person that's very intelligent. >> it wouldn't take much to incite a riot or whatever.
9:36 pm
you could take four officers hostage at the same time and it's going to domino. it's going to domino. they don't have control. it's just a delusion. >> he's quite an individual. here a few weeks ago, he called me up to his cell. he was having a real problem with his next door neighbor. in fact, he just told me, he said, if you don't move me or my next door neighbor, i'm going to kill him. if steven was having -- if he was having these kind of thoughts or these kind of problems, the guy next door -- somebody needed to be moved. that's why we did it. again, steven's a big man and -- but i have to say in much a way, he's a big man in a little boy's -- with a little boy's mind in a lot of different ways. open l-38, please. >> once in prison, steven parker, whose friends call him the worm, became more violent. >> stay away from him.
9:37 pm
we don't want him to have fun while the camera's on, anyway. >> he slit one inmate's jugular vein with a box cutter and nearly strangled another to death. >> this happened several times in prison, where i've stabbed and cut inmates and strangled inmates. >> worm! >> i just snap and i go crazy. i turn murderous and dangerous. i'm not nervous at all. it's like i'm in commando mode or something. and i'm very deadly with it, too. it was one night, about 10:00, a guy come in, tried to take my cigarettes from me. he come in and snatched them off the board and called me a bitch. i let that brew on me for a while. i thought about it all night. about 2:00 in the morning, i went and stabbed him 18 times. >> deputy warden patterson, along with the other senior staff members, make their weekly rounds in administrative segregation.

>> this is a place of confinement for those men that need to be down here, be isolated from contact with the general population through their behavior, through disciplinary problems or the fact they simply can't live in population. >> the staff reviews each inmate's housing status to determine who's ready to return to general population. >> what would it take to release a transfer? >> what would it take for you to get a transfer? if you go anywhere, it will be to donaldson. just do a request. maximum confinement. okay? we just completed our weekly segregation review board and now we would go into our deliberations about the status of the men being incarcerated down there. steven parker. he needs to stay where he is. he is a dangerous man. we did recently find a weapon in
9:39 pm
his cell. he will do good and he will tell you he will do good and his behavior is good right now, but not so long ago, he came out and assaulted an officer. he's a big man, he's hard to control, he's a dangerous man and he is appropriately assigned in that segregation cell at this point. >> he is dangerous. as far as my vote, i don't think he'd ever need to be in a population setting. >> segregation is a place of confinement for men who you must separate from the general population. and steven parker is one of those guys who must be separated. we must keep him controlled at all times. >> i guess i'm going to go crazy. i don't know. i guess i'm going to spend the rest of my life in prison and keep doing the same things i've been doing. i don't know what else to do. until somebody kills me, i guess. i don't know. next on "lockup: extended stay" --
