30 miles outside downtown oakland, the santa rita jail is a sprawling facility. its very makeup changes daily as new inmates enter and others leave. but for the past six years, there's been at least one constant in the men's disciplinary segregation unit. the sounds of ronnie padilla going through his daily mixed martial arts training. padilla is still awaiting sentencing on five charges of

assault with a weapon and one for attempted murder. >> sometimes inmates can be here for many years by the time their cases are settled. it's not necessarily out of the ordinary that padilla has been here for such a long period of time. it's mainly because of the court system. it takes time to go through. their lawyers might push back court dates. they can use that time to their advantage so that they can defend their client better. >> despite the rugged exterior, he's built up while living here, padilla says the relentless isolation has taken its toll. >> it's hard to be in here by myself. sometimes i feel like the time goes slow. sometimes we lost everything when it comes to jail. >> padilla says the most significant of those losses is not being there for his three young children. they feel like they lost me. they're crying. daddy, when you get out? all the time they keep asking me questions like that, they broke

my heart. i don't know how to answer those questions. i know one day i am going to go home. i hope it can be soon. >> padilla routinely applies to be sent back to general population where he would be less isolated and have more privileges. >> padilla, what's up man? >> i want to go back, you know what i'm saying? i don't want to be in that place no more. this ain't for me. >> if you go back to main line, you're not going to have any issues over there? >> no. >> no problems? >> i ain't got a problem with nobody. i've been good. >> okay. i got to talk to slagle and talk to him and see what he says. >> all right. thank you. appreciate it. >> deputy bounds dutifully takes padilla's request to the deputy head of the gang classification unit. and it's not the first time. >> i just went and talked to padilla out there in one. >> my buddy. >> your buddy. he's bugging me about going back to main line.

deputy slagle reviews padilla's recent disciplinary history. it's clean. but he knows what happened last time padilla was in general population. he stabbed another inmate and almost killed him. >> when the deputy went in, he didn't back off. he had to take a face full of spray at that point too. >> before he would stop? >> yeah. >> i don't see any good coming of him going back in there. >> as he has several times in the past, deputy bounds gives padilla the bad news. >> he said right now he doesn't think it's a good idea. >> i know that he was going to happen. told me straight up. probably because they don't like me, that's why. i'm going to tell you something straight up. it's not because of fighting with deputies. it's not that. it's not that. it's not the case. it's something else. but you don't want to tell me. it's no excuse to use to hold me in here. i don't want to be behind this door no more. right.

whatever time i got left to do, right i'm going to strike you dead hard time here. >> that's your choice. >> i mean it. >> you could go that route. that's not going to help you get back. >> they're going to get something to hold me here. so now i'm going to be like this. now i know why i'm here. now they're holding me for this, right? that's true. for something. but you're not going to hold me here for nothing. >> though padilla's request was denied, daniela guzman's request was granted. she has been transferred into the maximum security general population unit. >> ladies, step out. line up for lunches. >> it happened about a week ago. i remember the first day getting here i almost felt like bombarded by all the bodies being out, like being able to not being shackled, not being handcuffed all the time. i got used to being in the hole. i was there for like nearly three months. i was there for like two months three weeks. you know, i felt taken out of my element when i got put here.

i found myself people watching. you get to be able to walk, hit the yard more often. be able to be with more people. but then also that could create drama because you could either get in a fight or something like that. so i don't know. it's a different scene. that's for sure. >> like four braids on the side. just four on the side. that's all. we call them four siders. >> my cellie, i play cards. that's the only benefit of having someone there. you have someone to talk to, someone to play a card game with or someone to share photos with. >> lock it down, man. >> stop running around. >> my program was already set when i was in the hole. sleep all day, stay up all night. >> oh, my god. i'm putting you out. that's it. daniela. >> you don't have to worry about either getting woken up by

somebody in the middle of the night or you don't have to worry about i'm reading my book, am i disturbing her by keeping the light on. >> you think i can go back to sleep now? huh? you honestly think i can go back to sleep? >> that's why now i'm just like man, put me back in the hole. these girls are -- huh-uh. >> whether it's in the boisterous housing units of general population or the isolation of segregation, guzman is well aware if she's found guilty, the lifestyle will be one she must get used to. >> there's females in here that have done prison terms. they tell me how it is or what to expect. the one thing that they did stress was you know, there's lifers, that's their home. that's their house, there's people there that are never going to be eligible for parole. the one thing you have to do is first and foremost is show them respect. so i mean, they all stress that.

just respect. >> they got to get used to the food in here. >> yeah. >> this isn't even -- this is all hard. >> i'd just like to be hopeful in thinking that maybe being locked up for life isn't exactly what they believe should be done or -- it's hard. i try to be just hopeful and maybe, you know, maybe i won't be spending the rest of my life in here.

\s due to mature and graphic subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> an inmate's for two coup of soup led to a horrific are slashing. >> i didn't see the razor in his hand. did it so fast. >> married 21 years almost. twin boys. >> a case of road rage results in a murder charge for a software engineer. >> life was good. >> now after two years in jail,
