go ahead and sit down. hey, we can sit down and talk. if you ever need a bathroom buddy, it's right here. >> how do you feel right now? >> i feel a little better. i mean, it sucks that i am here, but i feel better about, like, being here. i'm not as scared anymore. so that's good. there's nice people. >> taking applications for a best friend, okay? i've been looking for a new one to replace my old one that got taken. because you're really pretty? >> thank you. >> if you need getting ready for court, i can help you on that. i got the whole makeup thing going on. if you want to look good for court i'll make you gel pretty girl. it may not be maybelline, but it's santa rita pretty and that's all that matters, right? >> but not everyone in the housing unit is as welcoming as stout-barstow. just a few bunks down, summer payne, serving a one-year sentence for petty theft,

doesn't have much tolerance for the other end of the unit. >> all down there, they go home in 7 to 14 days. you know what i'm saying? they're not sitting here doing no real time. we're sitting here doing real time, pushing real weight doing real [ bleep ] on the streets, too. >> this is the penitentiary here. >> she's been up here like seven, eight months. she's not going home until october. she's going to be pushing county what we call 12 months, real time in county jail. not that playland, and my best friend applications and [ bleep ] like that. we don't get down like that in the town or in alameda county. i don't even know where she's from. that's why i would roll them up and put them down there. they're in play jail. we in real jail and we want to go home. you know what i mean? it's not cute. >> [ bleep ] [ bleep ] while markert finds herself in the middle of a brewing storm. >> vincent del judas has not let

his 12-year sentence for attempted murder defer him from finding a port in his storm. a few days ago ago, he took a major step. he got married. >> i got married here in santa rita, you know? on valentine's day. so you know, it was kind of a -- she was kind of happy about that. kind of messing -- >> hey, baby. >> how you been? >> i've been all right. >> del judas' new wife, maria, has been visiting weekly since he's been at santa rita. and during her last visit, they tied the knot. >> when we do visiting, it's through the phone, through the glass. they don't let us touch or nothing like that, but, hey, better than nothing. >> i love you and i miss you. >> i've known vincent since i was maybe about 7 years old. we finally decided to make it official maybe about two, three years ago. unfortunately, he did get locked up a few weeks after. i decided to stick with him. it's been rocky for the past two

years, but, like i always tell his mom and everybody else, like, love outrules everything. >> what'd you do? >> nothing, really. oh, that you gave my lawyer. >> it's been awesome. we don't have any problems and we talk on the phone, i come and see him once a week. but hopefully soon we'll be able to have a little bit more contact. >> how? >> conjugals. when he gets transferred to prison, we'll have a little bit more of a physical touch visitations. >> so when you going to get transferred? >> should be like top, four months, like i said. >> you're being transferred. >> that's good. >> well, we waited, literally, 15 years to be together. because i waited 15 years, i'll wait 15 more. >> send money on the phone, all

right. coming up -- send your fake drama somewhere else. we're not here for that. i'm not asking you a question. why are you talking?! >> a deputy puts an end to the feud in the female wing. and -- ♪ the boy so bad, but i had a girl ♪ ♪ and i know if i raise her right, she's going to change the world ♪ >> cyrioco robinson puts his losses to music. is is the creamn corn chowder. i mean, look at it. so indulgent. did i tell you i am on the...

the santa rita jail is no different than other jails, in that some inmates may spend years here, not convicted of a crime but just waiting for their cases to work their way through the courts. other inmates might only spend a few hours or a night in jail before they are released back home. such was the case for 18-year-old laney markert, who had been arrested at her high school and charged with drug possession. >> i have never been in this

kind of trouble before, so it's new and i don't like it. >> so we made laney markert until last night around midnight. she was cited out. cited out you're released out on your own recognizance. you get a paper with your release date, usually 30 days out. you sign it, saying you understand that, you've been told that, if you don't show, a judge puts a warrant out for your arrest for not showing up to court. i wouldn't say inmate markert is scared straight. she didn't even spend one night in jail. she's going to need -- well, no matter how much we offer people, they have to want it. >> laney? >> nice to meet you. >> you too. >> in the hours markert spent in jail, she became friends with taryn stout-barstow, who took it upon herself to show markert the ropes. >> i'm taking applications for a best friend, okay? everybody? >> but just a few bunks down, summer payne seemed annoyed by the budding friendship and still does.

>> she had to feel stupid, though. she had to feel stupid. you talking about, oh, yeah, best friend applications are being accepted. i know that girl so glad she got bailed up out of this [ bleep ]. >> what's going on with you guys? >> well, what? >> what's going on with you? >> with who? >> we are not going to have a fight. >> you two. >> we have no issues. i'm just in here living with her at the moment. yeah, there was a discrepancy, because i guess she felt like i was calling her out, because she was being untrue to the new booked that we had in here. they had this young lady helping fix her bed and showing her the ropes, and said she was going to give her the best friend application and it was accepted, and if she was her best friend, she would have helped her. >> i was already helping her. i was not [ bleep ] getting down off my bed when i'm already comfortable from my little perch to do something i don't think is even necessary. >> well, bitch, we ain't got no friends. remember. we ain't here to make friends.

>> bitch, you ain't nothing but fake. because i cannot stand you. that's why! i can't [ bleep ] stand you! all right, you know what, then [ bleep ] then? [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. you want to act hard -- >> hey, your mouth's enough. get on your bunk. get on your bunk, now! get on your bunk now! i'm not asking you! get on your bunk! i'm not asking you! it wasn't a question. get on your bunk. get up there then. you take your fake drama somewhere else. we're not here for that. i'm not asking you a question! why are you talking? figure it out! you want to go home on time, shut your mouth. this ain't your house. so don't start dropping f-bombs and don't start acting like you're tough, because you ain't. okay? period, you're not. lip service gets you nowhere. >> because even a small argument

can turn physical, deputy beats, the unit supervisor, immediately questions the two women to determine the source of the problem. >> -- issues, i guess she's upset with me, because she was -- everybody laughing. i would have been -- >> well, the jail politics, especially in this house, with there being so many people in the minimum side of my house, i'm almost full. i may have a bunk space here or there but if you put that many women in the same space with that kind of temperament, things are going to flare. this is 24. you got a second? i've got an issue with two inmates. >> since the dispute never got physical, deputy beesley decides the best solution is to simply separate the women for the duration of their stays. 69-year-old angeline lizzarago says she once punched and kicked a younger inmate who was trying

to intimidate her but now says that yoga is far more effective than violence when it comes to surviving in jail. >> we get up at 3:00 in the morning. i make up my bed and then i pray and i do yoga for an hour and a half to two hours. >> lizzarago is nearing the end of a 2 1/2 year stay at santa rita for her part in a mortgage scam. along with quieting her mind, she's also busied her hands. >> since i was about 12 years old, my grandmother taught me how to crotchet, how to knit. so i do a lot of that stuff for the girls in here. and also help keep me occupied. help me stay sane. >> that's nice. >> lizzarago will soon trade needles for knives. she is just weeks away from release and plans to expand on what she has learned through the jail's food services class. >> so what's the first thing you're going to do when you go home? the very first thing?

>> the very first thing i'm going to do when i walk down that ramp is, i'm going to drop everything, kiss the free ground, and then embrace my children. then i want to see if i can get a decorating class at night or something. i'm not going to let you down. i feel it in my heart, i know it in my head. i know that's what i'm going to do. i'm going home, where, you know, i'm going to try to pick up the pieces and go from there. >> we should probably heat these sandwiches before they get cold. that way we can get out of here. >> spending time with family could be a long way off for cyrioco robinson, who is still awaiting trial on charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. but two weeks ago, he learned it's too late to ever see one important family member again. >> this is my stepdad. we got good times. very good times.

he passed away. he was really like the only dad i knew. it was hard, but before he came into our life, it was hard. my mom was struggling. when i first found out, i like, broke down. i was crying. but, like, i had, like, i don't know, you've got some good people in here, though. they, like, real supportive like. i actually had a dude give me a hug, like you all right? like, you all right, man? you all right? like, man, that's cold. like, i know how that feel. i know how that is, to like lose, to like lose a loved one. and like one day i was just sitting in my room and i kind of like felt like he was here. >> the passing of robinson's stepfather has given him pause to think of his own 2-year-old daughter. as his latest song reflects. ♪ see, this is my life ♪ i'm going to choose to live ♪ get a job, find a wife ♪ probably have some kids ♪ the streets ain't for me no more ♪

sleeping bear. let's play "hardball". good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. let me start with this. the big story of governor christie's two-hour defense yesterday was what he didn't say. why did the governor of a state, a man clearly with his eyes and heart on the white house, fail to ask anyone, anywhere, any time, what the hell was going on at the george washington bridge. when traffic stopped for hours, day after day after day after day, when the democrats in trenton were raising hell, when the media was jumping all
