thank you. >> uh-huh. good luck. >> you, too. >> good luck. >> open 501. >> like a dog like in a cage. >> there ain't really nothing you can do. >> during the crime there was a lot of panic, fear. things just got out of hand, you know what i mean? >> once you pull that trigger,

it feels like you start to twitch and you can't let go. once you shoot somebody once and you've already experienced it, it's nothing really. >> raise it to your chin. >> only thing i know the next morning you're in a bus. i don't know what they put you on. i never left since. >> honestly, i wouldn't think i would have been here because i just didn't ever think of waiving a 15-year-old. i wouldn't change it. if we wouldn't hurt nobody, we wouldn't be here right now. >> the wabash valley correctional facility in indiana

is home to 2,100 inmates. 53 of them are children under the age of 18, sentenced as adults. >> do not be judgmental. they've already been to a judge and a jury. that's not our job, to be judgmental of what their crimes are. >> although the prisoners at wabash have been sentenced to crimes ranging from burglary to murder, there are some things they hold in common. many come from the same cities, and in some cases, same family. >> i think other people in society and especially around my county and stuff probably think of me as a cold-blooded murder or whatever.

but if they knew me or if they got a chance to talk to me, they would know different. my brother is hoping for forgiveness, too. >> we've always been pretty close. really a quiet person, stays to himself. he usually gets along with everybody. just draws and writes a lot. it's really all he does. >> two years ago, brothers blade and bennie reed were sentenced to wabash for a burglary that went horribly awry. even though they were placed in the wabash yoouuth unit, they we kept separate. once bennie turned 18, he moved into the adult population at wabash, while blade remains in the youth unit. >> we don't see each other because he's in the juvenile dorm. i think about him, wonder how he's doing, hope he's staying out of trouble and stuff.

>> the reed brothers have been trying for two years to get a face-to-face meeting. kids under the age of 18 at wabash must be kip separate from the the adult population. so a visit is all but impossible. >> at times difficult, but really, ain't nothing we can do to change it besides stay out of trouble and hope they give us a visit. >> the reed brothers' life in prison could not be more different than their rural upbringing in the hills of brown county, indiana. >> it's all country out there. i spent most my time outdoors, just fishing, hunting. i usually stayed to myself other than my family. always been a shy person, so -- honestly, i wouldn't think i would have been here. i just didn't ever think of them waiving a 15-year-old. i try not to think about it. >> blade reed was 13 years old when he and his 16-year-old brother rode their bikes to a neighbor's house intending to steal beer. according to police reports,

bennie pulled out a gun after entering the victim's home. the victim had a gun of his own and fired on bennie, hitting him in the arm. bennie shot back, killing the 84-year-old man. he then directed blade to cut his wife's throat. she lived, but no one's life would ever be the same. both blade and bennie were waived to adult court. bennie pled guilty to murder and aggravated battery. he was sentenced to 60 years. blade's case was more complicated. court records revealed blade was the victim of physical and sexual abuse when he was an infant. psychiatric reports concluded blade's mental maturity was that of a 10-year-old. after months of highly charged hearings, blade pled guilty to robbery resulting in serious injury and one juvenile account of aggravated battery. he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. neither boy had ever had a brush

with the law prior to the crime. >> during the crime there was a lot of panic and fear. i was intoxicated and stuff, too. things just got out of hand, you know what i mean? like i went to sleep and the next morning when i woke up i had to remember for a second if it really happened, you know what i mean? if it was a dream or something. >> i was a little scared. i knew i was going to do time over it in and stuff. i don't know. just mainly scared. >> no matter what a juvenile offender is sentenced to wabash for, their ultimate destination is the same. after turning 18, all offenders are moved to an adult population either here or at another indiana correctional facility. calvin henry, serving a 100-year sentence for rape and robbery. although he's already served 30 years, he remembers his introduction to prison life well. >> i was fortunate at 22 years old that some older guys took me

under wing and showed me how to do time without getting killed. but throwing kids into an adult prison is just not a good idea. >> okay. woods. >> my name is howard woods. i'm in wabash county correctional facility and i'm 18 years old. i only been in the juvenile system one time and that's it. i've never been detained or nothing. this is my first time ever doing some time for anything. >> aurelious woods has been locked up for eight months, serving a four-year sentence for robbery. now 18, woods is on the transfer list to be moved to adult population. >> i can leave any time. in october i turned 18. i can leave any time now.

>> for security reasons, kids never know when or where they'll be moving once they turn 18. >> only thing i know they knock on the door at night. they tell you to pack your things. next morning you in a bus. i don't know what they put you on because i never left the facility before. >> i appreciate it. thank you, granny. i'm gonna go to my room. i miss my mama. my mom always told me to go to school. i wish i would have listened to my mama then instead of learning my lesson now. everything i done bad i think came back round on me. >> i'm sure every family's got their hardships like me, my brother and sister, we were sent to several foster families and stuff. my mom and dad were both arrested. we were taken from them by child protective services as a young kid. that might have led to

something. we was adopted onto a good family, know way mean? >> blade and bennie had little contact with their biological parents after being adopted many years ago. when their crime made headlines, bennie says he was shocked by what came next. >> i first received a letter from my dad. that was a pretty moving moment for me cause i hadn't heard from him for a while. he was just asking pretty much forgiveness and telling me what happened and stuff. then i got a letter from my mom next and she was sitting there asking me for forgiveness and stuff, and that she had a lot of her own demons to take care of and stuff, drugs and stuff she had to fight. i'm sure they do blame themselves, but i don't see it as that. i see it as my own mistakes. >> although contact with their biological parents helped to raise their spirits, the reed brothers still hold out hope for a face-to-face meeting. >> i seen them through the doors and stuff on the county, but other than that, i ain't seen

them or talked to them. it's about 2 1/2 years actually. you can't really adjust to it, but you got to try to do the best you can. you ain't got no freedom. >> boys, i need you to strip. >> don't come out and try to play the tough role. all the tough guys are dead. s. s. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here. through all of our energy operations, we invest more in the u.s. than any other place in the world. in fact, we've invested over $55 billion here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor. our commitment has never been stronger.

so wof the house?hink it's got a great kitchen, but did you see the school rating? oh, you're right. hey babe, i got to go. bye daddy! ...but what about when my parents visit? ok. i just love this one... and it's next to a park i love it i love it too. here's our new house... daddy! you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen. zillow how can i help you? oh, you're real?

17-year-old demonet lewis is currently in segregation at wabash facility for starting a fight. lewis is one of more than 50 juveniles serving time in this adult prison. >> it's like being like a dog locked in a cage. there ain't really nothing you can do. like when i was 10 i got locked up and i got back out when i was like 11.

and i was cool. i didn't get locked up until i was 13. i'm about to be 18. 18, 17, 16, 15. that's my teenage life. 13 i was out lucky. that's all my teenage life. my mom, she was always locked up, too, when i was young. i can name plenty of times when she got locked up, but that's probably part of it, but i wouldn't blame it because i do it. >> lewis is serving an 18-year sentence for robbery. >> when i first got locked up when i was 13, i was told everyone was gonna come visit me. it wasn't that they was lying. my grandma used to tell me it's tough love. i guess that was her way of punishing me, no visits. i never even filled out a visitation list because i knew

they wasn't gonna come. >> i have my nights throughout the week or whatever, i'll be thinking about how much time there is over my head and stuff, and just about what things could have changed or whatever. i would just like the victims of the family to know that i am sorry. if i could take it back, i would take it back. >> 18-year-old bennie reed has been locked up 2 1/2 years. he's serving 60 years for murder and aggravated battery. younger brother blade, now 15, is serving 30 years for his role in the crime. >> on my way up here to wabash valley i was thinking about prisons in the movies and stuff. so you would be expecting things like that. i was nervous. you know what i mean? first thing i noticed was fences with the barbed wire stuff, the sun shining on it and stuff. guard tower and buildings. it was just a big facility. something i never witnessed or

been in before, you know what i mean? >> staring down a 60-year sentence isn't the only thing on bennie's mind. he says guilt about blade's 30-year sentence is worse. >> that's one of the hardest things to deal with. i know it's my responsibility. he looked up to me, being i was his big brother and stuff, and i led him down the wrong road. know what i mean? >> as much as bennie hopes to see his younger brother, he fears what emotions may be brought to the surface when they see each other face-to-face. >> this ain't going to change us. can't change us. it's as much my fault as it was his. if we wouldn't have hurt nobody, we wouldn't be here right now. >> i'm officer miller. i'm a correctional officer here at wabash valley correctional facility and work with the youths incarcerated as adults.

outside rec. >> outside activity for the youth offenders at wabash is a luxury. by law, they must be sight and sound separated from the adult population. >> last call yard rec. >> with 2,100 offenders all vying for time in the yard, the juvenile offenders have to take what they can get. >> it's raining and it's cold. they're in here for some pretty bad things sometimes, but they're still human and they're still young kids, teenagers, and there's just some aspects of working with a population like that. i have been assaulted working here, you know, a couple of times. it's not been anything, you know, too disastrous but it does happen and that's something you always have to watch out for. it's not unusual to come in here and they've got different emotions about things, you know. some of them are fathers. they had babies born while they've been in prison. >> one of those fathers is 18-year-old aurelious woods. >> my son is 6 months now, you know.

he motivate me every day. >> woods hopes to get an attorney and get time cut from his sentence. >> every day i think of it and anything i can do to get out of here as soon as i can for his first birthday, that's all i'm hoping for. i missed the biggest day when he came. i'm trying to be there for his first birthday. >> for now, his biggest worry is being moved to a new adult prison. >> you have an 18-year-old or 19-year-old now walking into that type of environment for the first time. particularly ones that are known to be transitioning out of the youthful offender program. they're well known. the adult population knows who they are and they know when they get there. that makes that youth very susceptible to some of the games and the different things that the population tries to pull on them in order to get them to do certain things. if you don't let them know, they can get in trouble quickly.

>> my daddy know, he's been locked up. my mama told me i don't want you to take your father's role being locked up. learn a lesson while you're in here. i'm not trying to be like him. i'm trying to see my son grow and be there for him and know his daddy and know i'm here to support him whatever he needs. >> after two years behind bars, will the reed brothers finally get a chance to see each other again? it's delicious. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love.

>> just been pushing inside. it's been 2 1/2 years, ain't seem him or talked to him.

>> 2 1/2 years brothers blade and bennie reed shared the same prison and memory of their horrific crime. what they haven't shared is a face-to-face meeting. that's about to change. >> are you ready for blade? have a nice visit with your brother. >> always. kind of a relief. it's been a while, but i probably feel the same way i feel right now, i'm going to be happy. >> interactions between offenders from different cell blocks is not normally allowed. for the reed brothers to meet they have to submit to rigorous security checks. >> strip them down, search 'em, see if they have anything. once we search them, they'll get dressed and we'll call them in to the visit room. i've got the other reed in here. okay. bye.

go ahead and strip down. >> both brothers will be strip searched before and after the visit. they're allowed only brief physical contact. their conversation will be monitored by surveillance cameras. >> this is the only time i've seen him in the two years we've been down. i think about my family a lot, but other than that stuff, i really don't think about none of that. makes it easier just to forget it. just cope with it. >> make sure you give your i.d. to the officer at the desk. >> while bennie nervously waits for his visit with blade, back on his cell block officers receive a tip that weapons are being made in a neighboring

cell. >> we were called in by the sergeant of this house to do a targeted shakedown for this cell because one of the offenders who lives here is bound to a wheelchair and it was found in a letter, i believe, about a weapon being in his wheelchair. so we are searching his cell. while we were doing this, other officers were searching the two offenders that live here. have you gone through any of this? he's got small little razors.

that's pretty common around here. taken from the razors. they can use them as anything. they are used for saving, but they could do sharpening tools, cutting someone, cutting something, various things. >> they use them sometimes to fuse them to a toothbrush handle and use them to cut somebody. >> now i need to inform you about the visitation. visiting hours are from 9:00 to 3:00 every day. >> back on the youth unit, the newest arrival prepares for hard time behind bars. >> it seemed like a scary movie. it seemed like all a movie for a little bit. honestly, i thought it was a joke from the time i got -- went and got locked up, incarcerated. the day of sentencing was mind blowing because it felt like my

life just changed in 30 minutes. >> when you send out those visit forms you can send out 12, but you can only put seven in an envelope and not have to pay additional postage, okay? >> okay. >> all right? >> adam is serving a ten-year sentence for robbery and burglary but it could have been much worse. >> i was facing 85 to life. the reason why they looked at the 85 years was because of the felonies, what the felonies were. there was violence. there was a handgun involved. there was somebody had gotten shot several times, multiple times. then they looked in my background. this wasn't the first shootout i ever been in. this wasn't the first with a firearm. what really hurt me was the tattoos and the gang relation. then the alias. that's what hit it off. that sparked a fire right there. >> rap sheets like adam's are well known to the juvenile court

justices tasked with waiving youth to adult prisons. but that doesn't make their job any easy ier. >> the children that i have waived over the years, you know, you know them well. they've been in your court many times. sometimes dozens and dozens of times. it's always painful. it's always painful because you know you're putting a child in an adult prison. what comes down to me is, if i have something in the juvenile system and i can keep the community safe, why wouldn't i keep them in the juvenile system? >> back when i was in juvenile, i would hear about people getting waived, but never did i think it was going to be me. i'm not the good guy out of all this. i'm not trying to position myself as a good guy at all. i need to sit back and think, you know, what's going on. this isn't all a joke any more. i've got ten years and ten years isn't a joke, you know? >> even though adam just arrived in the juvenile block, the

thought of eventually moving to an adult prison weighs heavily on his mind. >> i've had so many people from recently just got out of prison, what's prison like? give me a heads up. it's really how you go in there, carry yourself. be cool, you know. don't get in nothing you can't get yourself out of. i definitely say don't borrow something because people will, hey, since you owe me this, go do that to him or go do this or do that. no. don't do that. >> you walk into this world. it's not a joke. but the thing about it is is how you pack yourself when you go into that world. of course, you're going to have little fears. if you're smart, you will. one of the big things is getting into the prison black market. whatever it may be, but that's

debt. and in prison, debt is very serious. you don't have someone call iin you on the phone, wanting to get paid. you have someone in your cell wanting to be paid, you know. >> first and foremost, they have to come to grips with inmate codes, so to speak. there are certain things that we as correctional facility administrators and staff require and expect from the population, but at the same time there's also a code that the population expects of the other inmates and offenders. even if they cross the rules against what the staff expectations are, if it's a code the offender population thinks you need to abide by, for your own safety, you have to go with the offender code. obviously, you get paid a more severe price if you break the

offender code. coming up -- >> need you to just spin to the right. >> aurelious woods tries to prepare himself for what adult prison has in store. >> i hadn't been in for three weeks when i passed a guy in education coming down the stairs literally holding his intestines in his arms. thritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits

>> today that time has come. woods learns he'll be transported to plainfield correctional facility two hours away. >> you get out of here, you go home and take care of that beautiful little boy. >> i'm ready to get there and do my time and get out to my family. that's it. >> i wish you all the luck in the world. >> all right, granny. what's happening, pro? >> come on. they're ready for you. >> i'm going to keep my head straight and move on. then i can go home. thank you, granny. >> good luck. >> you, too. >> good luck. >> what's your name and number?

>> woods, 108145. >> let me see your i.d. go in. what size clothes do you wear? put that in the bag. >> i've got the i.d. up there. i've got the other reed in here. >> after two years behind bars, brothers blade and bennie reed are finally meeting face to face. attorneys for the boys and prison officials agreed that visitation might help the brothers as they face the next few decades in prison. they're only allowed brief physical contact, and officers are monitoring their conversation.

>> kind of a relief. it's been a while. but i'm going to be happy. what's up? >> not much. >> how you been? >> i'm always good, you know. >> you staying out of trouble there? >> yep. >> you look like you lost weight. >> three pounds. i'm about 160 right now. >> 160. >> don't look it, does it? >> i'm like 172, 173. are you shaving yet? >> yep. >> they say we look the same. i don't see it. >> i don't either. hell no. i don't look nothing like that ugly head. >> yeah. >> you be all right. ain't got much of a choice.

>> i got to live with it, don't i? >> yep. >> when's the last time you talked to mom? >> i called her, i think, last week. >> i can't wait to see mom. haven't seen laquisha for a while. >> i think it was two or three months ago. i know it's been a while for you. you've been on that visitation restriction. >> you never know. >> my mother passed away in 2005. i got locked up in december of '81. so for all those years, the only time she saw her son was in prison. it was a lot of pain involved. pain that a lot of time doesn't get spoken about. my mother never talked about how bad it hurt her, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out either.

>> adam contreras is another inmate at wabash who knows about the pain he's caused his family. adam is serving a ten-year sentence for robbery and burglary. >> she said, you are now waived to adult court. all i could do is stare at my mom while she cried and cried her tears out. it was a disaster. i knew it was me killing my mother. back then to us, this was the stuff to go through, you know. to come into middle school. whole bunch of police officers, boom, we're looking for adam contreras. it just turned a whole bunch of fame on, and girls got turned on by it. >> bad boys?

>> yeah, bad boys. you know, when you have that -- the gun in your hand, you just -- it feels like you're on top of the world, really. once you pull that trigger, it feels like it starts to twitch and you can't let go. once you shoot somebody once or once you fire a gun once, you're like, hey, you already experienced it. it's nothing really. just a loud shot and a boom. someone could be hit. it's messed up. it really is. >> you can't turn back the clock. you can't put the bullet back in the gun. it just doesn't work. i can be mad at the judge, but i put me in his courtroom. if i hadn't been in his courtroom, he wouldn't have been able to send me here. i did this. so why not learn to control your anger a little bit and find another way to express it instead of 30 years later being here, laying here in this rack in the middle of the night tossing and turning being mad at

yourself and not knowing what to do with it? >> coming up -- >> you woods? >> yes, sir. >> what's your number again? >> aurelious woods enters the surreal world of adult prison. >> he's going to walk in that cell house scared to death. this is an ugly world. will be e in a timely fashion and within budget. angie's list members can tell you which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare. now that we're expecting, i like the fact i can go onto angie's list and look for pediatricians. the service providers that i've found on angie's list actually have blown me away. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

[ crows ] now where's the snooze button? it's debilitating when you try to talk, when you're trying to eat, when you're trying to sleep. i'm constantly licking my lips. water would address the symptoms for just a few minutes. the hygienist recommended biotene. it's clean and refreshing, i feel like i have plenty of fluid in my mouth. i brush with the biotene toothpaste and i use the mouthwash every morning. it's changed my life. it is the last thing i do before i walk out the door. biotene gives me that fresh confident feeling.

when you think about the whole thing, you think it's pretty [ muted ] up, huh? >> well, to think we were only 13, 16 at the time. hell, yeah. >> we know better now, huh? >> yeah. >> for blade and bennie reed, razor wire fences at wabash kept them in separate worlds. though they face 30 and 60-year sentences, they never stopped fighting for the chance to see each other again. today a face-to-face visit is their first in two years. >> my mom, dad and my sister come to visit me. usually at least once a month or so.

that's good considering it's a 2 1/2 hour drive up here. >> i've only had one visit, but i also had disciplinary. i lost my visits for discipli disciplinary reasons and stuff. i probably will be receiving visits once my six months is up. >> you still hear from our real mom and dad? >> i ain't heard from them over a year. after that first couple of letters from mom. i was expecting one now and then. after a while i know they ain't going to write. >> expect that with time. people start falling off, you know what i mean? you got to make the best with what you got. do our time. do what we can to get out. >> yeah. >> very unbelievable for myself and i'm sure for my family. you know, i miss my family and stuff.

ye yeah, it's pretty hard. >> it was good seeing you. >> yeah. >> make sure you stay out of trouble. hope to see you again. >> yep. hope to see you on the outs. >> you'll be out before me. when you do, you know what i mean, get out, stay out. >> yep. >> all right. love you, too. stay out of trouble. tell mom and them i said hi. >> yeah. >> he seems like he's happy to see me to me. at the same time i see now, you know what i mean, it's my fault and stuff. i hope he forgives me in the long run or something, and that he gets out one day. >> never would i thought i'd end up in a men's penitentiary, no.

especially living ten years here. no. i feel like kids jump to this because they want to feel comfort or they just want to follow. >> i think a lot of kids think that this is where you get your credibility. they think this is what makes you cool and all that. this is not cool. there's nothing about living in a bathroom in a closet with another man that's cool. you don't get that many chances any more. they can't let this be their life. >> yeah, i wonder like every night what made my dad keep coming back to this prison, you

know. so now that i'm 18, i like him come to me and tell me what made him keep coming back, messing up and doing time, for what? and he could try to be a model. >> you woods? >> yes, sir. >> what's your number again? >> 108145. >> in juvenile block, you don't really see what my daddy went through or how it is, like that, until you get to the real prison and see how it really is. >> aurelious woods will spend the next three years inside the plainfield correctional facility, alongside 1,600 adult offenders in an open-dorm setting. >> he's going to walk in that cell hose scared to death. i couldn't imagine going onto a dorm setting like that. this is an ugly world, you know. and your mind is just on overload constantly. it's mentally exhausting. >> fellows, let's grab your

property. >> i very clearly, vividly remember those first few nights, all those sounds, the doors slamming at night, the people yelling. it's going to be a difficult transition. >> since i've been in the game, i'm only 17. all of our gang violence and all by the gun. all i can say is, you know, do what you got to do to get home. there's nobody in here that loves you. no one here that cares for you. so, get home. >> all right. this is what's going to happen to you guys. come over here. take you over to receiving. going to secure your property. you get changed out of orange and put you in your khakis. >> i don't want to go through

this again. i'm going to change my life, take care of my son and take care of my family and stuff as opposed to -- this is going to stop. me, personally. i'm going to get out and go to college and try to make something of myself. i ain't coming back in here again. i want to get my ged and try to get home.
