as 25 year veteran of the kent county sheriff's department, and highest uniformed officer in the jail, captain demry has seen a lot. says one thing in particular may come as a surprise to the public. >> one of the secrets of the corrections world is how many inmates actually admire the deputies that work in the housing unit. when you have a corrections officer that the people that are

in jail look up to and highly regard and respect. >> how are things going overall since you been here? >> it's been going pretty good. >> that corrections officer is modeling the kind of behavior we desire. >> stay out of trouble. do what you got to do while you're down here. >> that has a profound impact on how inmates behave. >> the deputy bought into that philosophy. >> guys, come on. chow time. go eat. >> i use my life experience. i talk down, yeah, i am from africa. i took a bag, put it on my shoulder, came here. yeah. why you think you going to trust something from a third world country to work within the security system. it is because of education. back home, in liberia where i am from, i worked ten years as a police officer. i want to you take my experience and use it that you can better yourself. >> the deputy is convinced he reached some inmates. daniel has been a work in

progress for 15 years now. sutu was assigned to the juvenile facility when he first came in as a team. >> been going to juvenile a long time. gus used to work there, he had a strong accent, we made fun with him sometimes, mess with him, always in good humor. >> people know you're a good guy. thing is you get caught up with peer pressure. being around the wrong people. you got to make a future for your little daughter and the one on the way, too. so it is like two kids you got going to depend on you as a parent, as a father for tomorrow. now you're languishing in prison. what have you set for the kids that are going to go about -- >> doing the same thing that my parents did to me by not being there. i have to change something. >> he was recently sentenced to three years. he is awaiting transfer to prison.

still a lot of old hands here that know me. some of the newer ones know who i am, and it is embarrassing. >> good afternoon. >> how you doing, sergeant. >> good, how are you. >> i did work during the time he was employed. i think there was maybe 20 to 30 deputies get hired at the same time. and within the same group. we are both in that group. it is really unfortunate to see a co-worker on the other side. >> in 20 years that passed since he worked here, sutherland has had numerous criminal convictions and has served time in prison. now he faces especially serious charges, possession of child pornography and criminal sexual conduct of a minor, in this case a young boy. >> i am pleading not guilty.

i have lots of reasons for that. i didn't do it. >> but this isn't the first time sutherland has been charged with a sex crime against a minor. >> i had a misdemeanor charge 16 years ago for inappropriate touching, a girl, minor. and i pled guilty to that. >> to my knowledge i've never seen anything that he would be capable of charges like he's being charged with right now, so it is pretty shocking. >> deputy perdue also knew sutherland when he worked here. >> you're dealing with a deputy, a professional, somebody you worked with every day, did a good job. >> all right. >> it was a proactive deputy, but i was also a sincere deputy. if i told an inmate i was going to do something, i'd do it. i was fairly strict but fair. i tried to show compassion.

i guess i treated the inmates how i would want to be treated. after i worked here for four years or so, i had discovered that i was going to the bar more and more often after work to as we call it debrief. i knew something was wrong. i didn't know what to call it. i had started drinking to self medicate and discovered that worked real well, and inside a year, i was drinking well over a fifth a day. by the end, i was drinking over a half gallon a day. from there the alcohol just stripped away all of the other emotion and life became unmanageable. >> along with his prior criminal sexual conduct conviction, sutherland had several other convictions, ranging from driving under the influence to home invasion and breaking and entering. he says his mug shots tell a story.

>> if you look at the very first photo of me, you'll see a man that was very much in control of his life, physically in shape. as you go through to the next booking, alcohol had started to play a bigger factor, facial features have changed, and then you get into the last few years, i think i looked like i aged 20 years, and the fire went out. right now at the stage of my life, i'm almost relieved to be in here right now. coming up. >> there's at least one inmate in here that knows i was a deputy. >> steven sutherland tries to avoid the predators that target ex-cops. later his own actions are called into question. >> two seconds later see his hand come around the shower, i was like this dude is an actual predator. >> i should have killed the lady and her son, her son was 18 years old, my age. >> joel laments his decision to leave witnesses behind. campbell's healthy request soup

inside kent county jail, joel leija has had more than two

years to find ways to pass time. he pled guilty to second degree murder, will be eventually transferred to state prison. >> want to get home young, hope to get 20, 18 would be nice. i could do that, i have a mindset on that. but i want to know for sure. once i know for sure, i think i'll be more at ease, more at peace. >> leija's sentencing has been delayed while his co-defendant's trial drags on. he does what he can with what little he has. >> i take the little teeth out of these combs. the seasoning package that comes with seasoning for the noodles. i'll take that, take a staple, could easily put it in there, and i could easy put it in my ear.

just like that. makes me feel sort of free in a way, even though i am not free. gives me a better feeling about being here. >> leija says one thing he isn't feeling better about is leaving witnesses behind the night he murdered another man. >> some other gang bangers, man. >> according to prosecutors, leija met the man at the home of a mutual female friend to sell him drugs but attempted to rob him instead. >> i should have killed the lady and her son, her son was 18, but i didn't, i just left. they were calling me a ruthless killer, i had no remorse. if i didn't have no remorse and i was a ruthless killer, i would have killed that bitch and i would have killed her son. >> do you regret not killing them? >> absolutely. i wouldn't be here if nobody pointed me out.

>> now housed in a single man segregation cell because of a fight he was involved in, leija has plenty of time to ponder past decisions. >> man, i got some good letters, too. >> steven sutherland, however, is housed in a general population unit where he's around other inmates. and for him, that carries a risk. >> for anyone to know that i used to be a deputy here potentially could be dangerous for me. i'm in a medium, high security area, where the inmates are potentially going to prison for 15 years to life. if it was ever perceived i was part of the system, somebody may take advantage of that. >> 20 years earlier sutherland was a kent county sheriff deputy and was assigned to the jail in which he is housed. he tries to keep that a secret, because when ex-law enforcement officers go to jail, they're often targets for attacks.

>> there's at least one inmate that knows i was a deputy. we talked and he understands that needs to be kept private. and i made it clear to him. he was telling another deputy that i used to be a deputy. i said when i told you not to say anything to anybody i meant anybody. because deputies will talk, too. >> to make matters worse, sutherland is charged with criminal sexual conduct against a minor which is another reason other inmates would target him for violence if they found out. >> i try to keep a low profile. i have to be on guard. it could be stressful at times, but i've gotten so used to it, it becomes natural to put on a different persona. >> while some are in single

person cells where they have virtually no contact with other inmates, that's not the policy at kent county. >> sex offenders are housed on an individual basis, they're interviewed and determined how the classification officers feel how they would do in certain areas. basically they go into general population. there's no self housing area that segregates them. >> we set limits and say you're going to live with him, not going to torment him or make life difficult. if you do, we will deal with you, and this guy will stay and you're the one that will end up in segregation. >> there has been an incident involving sutherland and another inmate, in this case sutherland is not the victim. coming up, steven sutherland is accused of harassing another inmate in the shower. >> i didn't know what to do. he was like it is not gay, it is jailing. >> and vicki's mother on life with a self proclaimed cleptomaniac.

>> last year i bought an air conditioner for $300 and she turned around and stole that. @ñ

for that work. this is my life's work, it was ministry, never has been just a job. it is not natural to keep human beings in cages and not natural to be the human being keeping somebody else in a cage. and there's something about that unnatural environment that causes the people that are the keepers of the cage to take some psychological steps to make that easier on them to the point to where you don't see them as humans. i tried to consciously fight against that tendency. hopefully i modelled that for some of the people. it is possible to spend your career in corrections and not treat inmates like dirt and not treat these people like trash, but to have compassion and sympathy and understanding for what the families go through. >> and families usually go through a lot. >> here to see victoria groth. >> can i see your id. >> i am carol, i am here with my daughter jessica, here to see my other daughter victoria in jail

jail, so -- it was that life, growing up i got looked at because my family was white. i got treated different by my sister's dad because i am half black, they're all white, i wasn't his kid, just dealt with that. used to get teased at school. i cried. i cried a lot. >> hey. >> hi. >> how you doing? >> good. >> you're looking good. >> thank you. i am tired, i slept all day today. >> what did you do that for? >> i am tired. >> you'll be out soon. you need to get your sleep schedule the right way. >> she came in here, was having a lot of issues with stuff, just a lot with family and everybody just not getting along. >> i am hoping to get out

monday. >> i have to work monday though. >> if you ask her to get something out of your purse, she would take something without noticing, you would notice it is in her pocket later. >> she has done it ever since she was this tall. something that started when she was a kid. i got the ceiling painted. >> did you? is she painting? >> she sleeps all day while i paint so she's not in my way. it put me in a bind last year when i already bought an air conditioner for $300 and she turned around and stole that, so i had to use rent money for that month and buy another air conditioner. >> i don't know, it is weird for me having a family member that i can't trust, you know. >> just read a thing in the paper, says just remember when you don't take a shower before you go to bed, everything you have in contact with is going to bed with you. the reason we don't talk about her stealing from family through the visit, i don't want her to go back to her cell depressed with nobody to talk to. >> i read 30 cards before i picked that one.

>> did you? >> i had to get one that would give you a laugh. >> i started to laugh. i brought it to breakfast to show people. >> before she was sentenced this time she called me on the phone and she wanted to know if i would consider her moving back in with us so that she would have a stable place to live. i told her at that time i would have to think about it. i am concerned she will go back to what she was doing before, stealing stuff and then i'll be screwed. >> love you. >> love you, too. bye. >> that's it. >> hate where i'm at, choices i made were stupid choices. everything could be prevented. if you have choices, nine times out of ten i pick one that's the worst. >> why? >> i don't know. if i knew the answer to that i wouldn't do it. >> steven sutherland also acknowledges making bad choices. once a deputy at the kent county jail, he is now an inmate with

numerous prior convictions. he is charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor. now he faces new troubles after staff received kites, jail slang, notes from inmates. >> received two kites from two different inmates regarding inmate sutherland. common subject was in mate sutherland was making inappropriate comments to the inmates. >> 20-year-old zack was charged with assault to which he pled not guilty is one of the inmates that reported sutherland. >> i was sitting there in the shower and had my back faced like the other showers and all of a sudden felt somebody hit my back, i turned around, there was a huge thing of soap. two seconds later, see his hand come around the shower, threw a bunch of soap at me. at first i was confused. i was like did that really just happen? i didn't know what to do. i was like dude, what the heck is going on. he is like it is not gay, it is just jailing.

>> i said hey, if we all share a shower, we will save water. it is just jailing. and that was what it was. and he wrote a kite saying i made him feel uncomfortable. and i was so angry because they were joking before i got up there, him and another inmate, oops he dropped the soap before i even got up there. it is just the horseplay that goes on when you're in an all male facility in an area like that. >> the second time he came over, he is like hey, we are in the shower together again and all this. then he started talking about the jail wants us to save money, we should shower together and use the same soap and the same towel and so at that point i was like you know, this is ridiculous. this dude is an actual predator.

>> did you make a comment? >> in jest, we all did. it was going on before i got up there. it is something that the guys, they had -- jail is a lot like a men's locker room, there's comments constantly. >> used to play scrabble all the time. i kind of quit playing scrabble. he would make jokes all the time about other guys. at first it was a joke. then i found out what he was in here for, then i started putting things together. it ain't going. >> it got serious, once it kept going on and on. it is like this dude is serious about what he is saying. >> sutherland has temporarily been moved to a single man cell in another unit until staff can determine if disciplinary action is warranted. >> the policy when we receive a kite like that is to assign the investigation to the floor officer where the kite originated, and that's what i did. >> in the meantime, all sutherland can do is wait and try to amuse himself. >> this is what i had up on my cell upstairs.

it goes on here like this. it gets boring. you have to have a little fun. coming up. >> i came back from court, i was at dinner, he told me threw the door, it is over, you know. >> joel leija hears from his co-defendant and the news clears the way for his long awaited sentencing. >> inmate sutherland knows me, i think he was trying to play on that during our hearing, bringing me back to the days when we worked together. tried to work on my feelings. >> an officer hands down a decision on his former colleague and soon after so does the judge. tap of my geico app. oh, that's so cool. well, i would disagree with you but, ah, that would make me a liar. no dude, you're on the jumbotron!

even though joel leija pled guilty to second degree murder for shooting a man six times in the face, he has been in a state of limbo with kent county jail. his judge cannot issue final sentence and send him to prison until his co-defendant's case is resolved. it dragged on for more than two years until now. >> just lost trial, real sad news. i couldn't enjoy the meal when he came back from court, i was eating dinner, told me through the door, it is over, you know. he is just letting me know. he is at peace for his part, he wants to follow god. people come to jail and they find god. my faith ain't that strong really, it's not that strong. i am always going to be a mobster and i don't regret it, i don't, because i had a good time. >> leija is now cleared to be sentenced and it is likely to be soon.

steven sutherland, who was a deputy at the jail, is facing disciplinary action in the jail for allegedly making inappropriate comments to another male inmate in the showers. the sergeant that worked with him when he was employed here was assigned to investigate the accusations. they came in the form of two kites or notes from two different inmates. >> inmate sutherland knows me, i think he was trying to play on that during our hearing, calling me by my first name, kind of bringing me back to the days when we worked together, tried to work on my feelings. and i recognized what he was trying to do. >> if an officer was to say that i'm using my connections to get special treatment, i would say, you know, look at where i'm at. this is my second time to the

hole. hasn't worked out so well if that's the case. >> i did question him on specifics of his involvement and found consistency in his statements with what was written in kites and found him guilty of a category two violation of making inappropriate comments to other inmates. with a two, there's a ten day cell restriction, where the inmate is moved from the general housing area where he was to our discipline segregation unit. >> i am angry because they know, all the guys around them, the deputy that did the investigation knows it wasn't true, but the sergeant who likes to write paper got excited about it. he had made up his mind that i was guilty before he came down based on words, not intent.

and that was my biggest thing, you know. when people joke and say things that doesn't make that intent. >> one week later sutherland would be dealing with something far more serious than horseplay bringing his case to a close. he reached a deal with prosecutors to plead no contest to first degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor. sutherland was sentenced to 9 to 15 years in prison. >> it is tough. it is someone you worked with, hung out with, talked with in the locker room, then years later you're opposite sides of the fence.

>> deputy perdue was a rookie at the jail when sutherland worked there as a training officer. >> it ain't going to be easy, not going to happen overnight but, you know, sooner or later maybe you get your life back to where it was before all this happened. >> yeah, if not back where it was, at least as i finish out this life with some normalcy. >> yeah, definitely. >> within the next week or so, a transport van will take sutherland to a state prison to serve his time. >> there's a saying to do the time, don't let the time do you, is just a statement of go with the flow, you know. you read, you play cards, you make the most of it, you're here. deal with it. sometimes that's hard but until you do, you know, life is really tough. and for me with all of the issues that i was having personally, i could be maybe in a different program that would be nicer than this, but this is probably still better than me being on my own right now. i hate to say that but --

>> sutherland's transfer is fine with one inmate. >> i don't want him to get out with someone else in the jail, it wasn't right. obviously i can shower in peace now, not having to worry about him coming up every time i try to shower. coming up. >> i am proud i came to this jail at a time when the corrections industry in general was moving away from a culture of violence. >> a retiring captain reflects on 25 years of change. and a gang member finds out what his future holds. >> mr. leija, anything further you would like to say before i impose sentence?

captain randy demry says he has seen a lot of change in 25 years at the kent county jail in

grand rapids. >> i'm very proud that i came to this jail at a time where the corrections industry in general but even this jail in particular was moving away from a culture of violence and a culture that demeaned the population and a culture that treats everybody with dignitity and respect. understanding the inmates have their own set of problems that they present us with, but they're all humans and all need to be cared for as human beings. >> jail officials say one way they do that is to be responsive to inmate reports of threats or harassment. >> zack is one of the inmates that wrote one of the kites alleging issues with inmate sutherland. he's still in the same housing unit as he was. just wanted to let him know we're there if he has any questions or any other issues. a well-being check. >> hey, zack. >> how you doing. >> just want to make sure you're doing okay. are you having any other issues?

>> no. it's been quiet. >> as far as how it was handled, did we handle it quick enough for you? >> yeah. i think an hour, hour and a half after i wrote the kite he was out of here, so i was surprised about that. >> the kite that you wrote got our attention immediately, with the new prea standards that the correction facilities have to abide by, any suggestions of inappropriate conduct we look at real serious and that's the main reason why we took action as quick as we did, and looked into it, did an investigation, interviewed you at least once or twice. okay, thank you very much, guys. >> a different sort of drama now plays out for joe leija. >> going to get sentenced today.

i'm ready to get it over with. i don't have to apologize to the victim's family, but i am going to. i think it looks better, shows i am sorry. >> move it, everybody has to fit tlin. >> make me realize the damage i have done to this family. i have a lot of regrets. you know, to kill somebody. i am going to have a lot of family in the courtroom, my parents will be there, my mom, my dad, my aunt, uncle, brothers and sisters. makes it way easier for me. >> as the proceedings get under way, the victim's mother takes the podium and reads her statement to the court. >> i still don't understand why you had to pump six bullets into my son. it just goes to show what a cold-blooded killer you really are. it seems to me taking a life came way too easy for you. now i wonder how many other lives you may have taken with no remorse. you didn't just shoot a person, you shot my son. you took a big part of our lives away, that piece of the puzzle
