might be subject to a surprise shakedown. but today is an eventful one for byron poe for an entirely different reason. >> it's that day. graduation day. >> graduation's a ceremony where we celebrate the graduates of the different classes. and for a lot of the men and women, it's the first time they've completed something in their lives. and so we want to acknowledge that. >> congratulations to every one of you today for your accomplishment, graduating. i'm very proud of all of you. it's an honor to graduate today. it says a whole lot about each one of you. you have proven that you can achieve and succeed. >> this education actually has opened me up to motivate me to living a clean lifestyle. >> and there's yet a lot of hope for every one of you. i want to let you know that even though you're here in santa rita, it did not let that stop preparing you for your future. >> byron poe is an "a" student.

because i give exams every other week on the lessons that i've taught, so that is the "a" roll. i call it the chocolate cake roll. very good student. >> this is the grads from d.a.d.s., are byron poe. >> thank you, mr. terry. >> once i get out, i know i'm going to make it better. this probably is my last -- i won't even say probably. i know this is my last run at criminal activity, drug use. i'm going to do everything there is possible for me to stay out of here. >> congratulations to the march graduates. [ applause ] >> i'm kind of elated. i was kind of emotional. i started to cry. i didn't think this would bring me to things like this. but graduating here out this program allows me to believe

that there's goals that i can achieve once i leave. >> congratulations, everybody. congratulations. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> thanks, jen. >> all right. >> one inmate previously enrolled in the jail's education program is not graduating today. alexandria mcbride was dismissed from her m.o.m.s. class for fighting with another inmate. >> she flew to the ground, and i went crazy on her. so she came into my room and that's when she told me she despises me and she wants to punch me in my face. then the other bitch came up behind me and i got into a fight with her and she won really. so they're mad at me right now. >> fight anybody, anybody want to, bro. whatever, bro. whatever, bro. become increasingly clouded as well. he is charged with four counts of assault with a firearm for allegedly shooting at a car containing another santa rita inmate, byron robinson, robinson's girlfriend, and one of her children.

long says he can prove he was out of town at the time but acknowledges past troubles with robinson. >> well, we used to be cool. like my dad, my whole dad's side of the family is from the '70s and they from the '70s too. so like we all grew up around each other. and like we all know each other. our whole family know their whole family. it all escalated over a fight. something that could have been avoided. when we went over there, though, we was going to talk it out, but somebody pulled a gun on all of us. so when they did that, that just -- that sparked everything right there. >> long thought that if robinson's girlfriend did not testify against him, he would have to be released, but it didn't work out that way. >> obviously i'm still here. she came and popped up and testified. >> what did she say? >> she just said she seen me with a gun in my hand. but she never seen me shoot it,

so i'm just going to have to fight it. >> how did you feel when you saw her show up? >> i was kind of mad, angry, but they've got to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that i was the one firing the gun. the only witness they got she's saying that she never seen me shooting the gun or nothing. she just said she saw me standing there, so that's why they band it over, they had enough evidence. she said she seen me at the scene with a gun in my hand, but she never seen me shooting. so that's good enough right there. >> but corey long's hopes of walking out of jail a free man would not come to fruition. long made a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pled guilty to one count of assault with a firearm. he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
