well, it's a vocational class, introductory to cosmetology. they can graduate with a certificate of completion once they've completed the course. it takes approximately three months to go through that. they can then -- hopefully are inspired to continue the education on the outside, so that they can earn the hours that they need. the purpose of soaking the nails is to soften the cuticles, so you want to shape the nails first, and then soak them. >> taryn stout-barstow is open to being a cosmetologist, but admits to another motive for taking the class. >> when i'm pretty, i feel better about myself and it makes me happy. pretty people get what they want, pretty much. if you're ugly, you don't get as much stuff as you do if you're pretty.

>> i think this place ain't that bad. you know everybody hates it, but see the glass half full, not half empty. >> stout-barstow says optimism has helped her serve time. she was sentenced to 90 days and three years' probation for child endangerment. according to her arrest report, she was acting erratically at an electronics store and was with her 6-year-old son when police were called to investigate. the report says neither of them was wearing shoes and that her son said he had not bathed in the past week. >> nice, nice. thank you, vanessa. >> nails by vanessa. >> stout-barstow says at the time of her arrest, she was fleeing an abusive boyfriend. an additional charge of being under the influence of a controlled substance was later dropped. but she admits to having taken what she thought was crystal meth. >> i was having like night terrors and i didn't want to sleep and everything. it was [ bleep ]ed up. i was starting to think that

people were possessing my and my son's body. like, it was not -- it definitely wasn't crystal meth, i'll tell you that. it was bad news. i was trying to tell the cops, and you know how they say the truth will set you free? no, the truth be getting you in trouble. they got my son taken and got me locked up. got my son taken and locked up.got my son taken and locked up. >> stout-barstow says her drug use began a couple of years earlier, and now she's not only in jail, her son is in foster care. >> everything has a reason, probably for the best. but it sucks that my son has to go through the emotional damage. i can get over it, but i'm not sure that my son will be able to. and my son right now, they won't even tell him that i'm in jail. he thinks that i -- probably up and left him and ain't coming back. i try not to think about it, because there ain't nothing i can do while i'm here. i try really, really hard not to think about and it maybe that's why i'm so happy. >> we're going to start with your flour. >> over in the jail's food

>> come on, ladies! let's go! i'm assuming you're hungry! in case you don't realize, it's dinnertime. what does that mean? >> due to overcrowding in the california prison system, lizzarago does her time at santa rita and she's only required to serve half of her five-year sentence. she's now just two weeks away from her release. and says her age hasn't always won her respect. >> the first six months that i was here was very bad. they would take my commissary, they would steal it, i would go to a class and come back and something was gone. and then they taunt you. they call you names. it just got to the point where i just said to myself, it's enough. and so i got in a fight. this girl told me she wanted my six-pack of soda that was in my bag, and i said no. and she pushed me. i don't know.

something just snapped inside of me and i turned around and clocked her. >> how? >> with my fist. she was not expecting it and so she fell back. when she fell back, i kicked her. the story got around that the lady with the white hair beat up a girl. and so they just left me alone and i earned my own self-respect. coming up -- >> that bottom one says doggy style. makes you more money at the club. >> taryn stout-barstow recalls her life as a stripper and has her own line of cosmetics. you ever been arrested before? >> no. >> an 18-year-old starts her day in a high school classroom, but ends it at santa rita. of making an unbeatable truck... ... good things happen.

me encouraged, telling me, keep my head up, telling me to hang on. and that's the only respect i got for the streets. but i don't owe the streets nothing, you know? like, if anything, the streets owe me -- >> hello, breaking news. there is new information in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. let's take you live now to a news conference that is under way in australia. >> they're usually much larger vehicles, they do recovery as well, and obviously those sorts of -- those sorts of possibilities will be looked at. well, they have been. they are being looked at as we speak. but a lot will depend on the outcome of what we find when we go down and take a look. yes. >> what about some of the time frames you're talking about? you said the towed locater now has stopped searching?

>> yes. >> when exactly, are you talking today? >> yeah. >> or tomorrow? >> well, the first tine that is we've got the bluefin 21 and the towed pinger locater hosted on the same ship. "ocean shield." they cannot be operated simultaneously. so the commander on the spot had to decide which device he was going to use in the first instance. and clearly, because there was still the possibility of picking up transmissions, even though we got past the 30-day point, we got those transmissions, probably seems like about ten days ago now. and we wanted to try and get more transmissions. now, the fact that we haven't had more transmissions, well, could be a number of things.

but one of the -- one of the more probable reasons for that is the batteries on whatever was transmitting have expired. so that's the first thing. in terms of time frames, once we pull in the towed locater, pinger locater, the 2pl, we're essentially going to have to bring it up on deck and it will probably not be used again because by the time we complete the autonomous underwater vehicle work, we're going to be into the day 42, 43, whatever it is. and by then i would suggest to all of you that there would be no prospect of picking up an electronic signal. it would be quite extraordinary if we did. now, in terms of the time frame

in the employment of the underwater vehicle, it has a 24-hour cycle. so we anticipate deploying it this evening. it will then be recovered. and with the collection of data, analysis and so on, it will be ready to be deployed if everything goes according to plan exactly 24 hours after the first deployment. and so on. so it's a 24-hour cycle. it goes down, you don't get any indication of how things are going while it's deployed. you have to wait to recover it before you can get the download of the data that it's picked up. yes. >> hi, associated press. we're wondering at this point,

the search has been going on for some time, do you have any estimate on how much this has cost so far? and also, it's possible this could really go on for a very long time. are you in this for the long haul? [ inaudible ] continue searching -- >> well, the -- i guess it's very expensive, and all of the countries that are contributing to this are running at big costs. and i think the world community should be very appreciative to those countries for their contribution to what i would say is one of the largest search and rescue, search and recovery operations that i've seen in my lifetime. but just to put a bit of realism into it, i suppose the model we tend to use in terms of this sort of operation is the air france accident that happened about five years ago.

the last known position of the aircraft that was lost, and this came from acars data, was 6.5 nautical miles from where the wreckage was finally found. two years after the aircraft was lost. so i just -- i just say that because i think it's important to put it in context that the environment down there is incredibly demanding. now, that wreckage was found at 3,000 meters depth. we're talking about operating down closer to 4,500 meters. and i think that gives you some idea of how challenging this should be. and that's why i say we've got to be realistic about this. it may be very difficult to find something.

and you don't know how good any lead is until you get your eyes on the wreckage. and, you know, in a different environment, the mountains of the united states, i used to go searching in the middle of winter. you know, we've got lots of leads. it was up to us to pursue all of the leads. but many of those leads took us down what i would call a blind alley. so we've got to be very realistic. we've got a good lead, the most promising lead that we've had through the entire search. and we've just got to wait to see if the bluefin 21 finds wreckage on the bottom of the ocean. and i would just say to everybody, don't be overoptimistic, i be realistic. and let's hope, let's hope that that very strong signal that we were receiving is actually

coming from the black box. because that would be a really good outcome. but we can't confirm that until we lay our eyes on the vehicle. i think i might call it. just one more question. >> [ inaudible ] china managed all the signals we've got so far, a handful from the black box [ inaudible ] what kind of cause can verify this kind of disruption? >> well, i think the prime minister said while he was in china, and you know, one of the things that has been mentioned here is that the prime minister was quite expansive in china. and i would say i'm not surprised by that. he was in china where there was intense interest in the circumstances around this search

and recovery operation. and he gave a fairly good summary of where we're at with the search. but as he said, what's critical here is we've got to prosecute the most promising lead we've got, these transmissions. and we've got to find wreckage visually before we can finally say we have solved this mystery. okay? one last question. yes. >> you mentioned this one, this particular lead is the most promising one. you mentioned other leads may lead to [ inaudible ]. do you have -- is there any other leads above this one? >> well, one you've asked me about in the past, the one from hirschwin 01.

there was a detection there. that has been analyzed and has been discounted as a credible transmission. so at the moment, this is really all we've got. we've got no visual objects. we have -- the only thing we have left at this stage is the four transmissions and an oil slick in the same vicinity. so we will investigate those to their conclusion. and that's where we are. thank you very much. [ inaudible question ] >> that's the only leads at the moment, yes. and of course -- >> we have been listening to the air chief marshal in australia holding this live news conference with the latest on the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. here's what we know so far. this is day 38. they are still searching for this plane. there have been no new pings

since april 8th. and so that's heeding them to believe that possibly the batteries on the black boxes may have died. now, the good news is there were pings at some point and they're trying to really pinpoint on that area where they were last heard but they were not heard until april 8th was the last time. so what they're trying to do, they're going to send down a submeritible called a bluefin 21 to map the bottom ocean. they were saying as well in that news conference they noticed an oil slick. so they've taken samples and are going to be studying that to determine if it's linked in any way to malaysia airlines flight 370. so at this hour they are still searching for this plane. no new pings at the moment. not sure if the batteries on the black boxes have died but that is what some may have led -- been led to believe due to the fact that we haven't heard any pings for about six days now. but of course we will continue to follow this story and bring you the latest as anything

develops. you're watching msnbc. now it's back to "lockup" in progress. smelt and it told us to come out and went to the office and got searched. then i got caught. >> and you ended up in santa rita. >> yeah, for the first time in my life. >> as she awaits assignment to a housing unit, markert receives an unofficial orientation from two current santa rita inmates. >> this is why people do not want to be in here. it's nasty, it's disgusting. >> this is what you get. mcdonald's fries, this is your mcdonald's fry. >> and they call that beaver tail. >> what? >> beaver tail. we don't even know what it is. >> we don't know what it is. it's a meat, but it's your

hamburger patty. we don't know what it is. >> they give it to us. we have no idea. a lot of people are going to keep you up, because they're going to be loud. you got to wake up at like 3:00 for breakfast. two, three, hours later, you get pod time. >> what is pod time? >> when i first came in here -- pod time is like when you can use the phone. you can use the phone, take showers, and you come out with everybody else in your unit, jet get out of your cell. >> you're in here to realize if you're hanging out with the wrong people, drugs ain't even really cool like that. i know, i did a lot. if you're going to go to school, just go to school. and don't worry about drugs. don't worry about your friends. it's only going to be you. keep up with your homework, keep up with your assignments, do what you got to do, and turn it in on your own. you've got a lot more important things than to be smoking weed or whatever you all was doing in the bathroom. because you've got a lot more to worry about. >> markert!

>> so you've never been in custody before, right? >> right. >> okay. so when you go in there, basically, females are going to come up to you, talk to you, ask you what you're about, just tell them. if you have any problems, talk to the deputy, and let them know you've never been in custody before. >> i don't want any drama, any trouble with any other girls. i'm afraid of what they're going to say. >> they're going to ask you questions, where you from, what's your case. just be honest. you're not hiding nothing from them. as long as you be cool. it's all about respect. everybody respects each other's privacy, everybody respects each other's space. you stick with that, you're not going to have any problems. remember, just focus on going to court, doing your time real quick and get out of here and never come back, right? >> right. >> all right. you don't need to be coming in here. have a seat and the deputy will come and they're going to search

you and then you'll go inside. >> okay. >> before markert is taken to her housing unit, she must undergo a full body strip search by a female deputy. >> all right. take your pants off. and i'll take those. take your socks off and turn them inside out. go ahead and separate your feet, wide stance, step back so you don't hit your head. bend forward. you're going to bend forward all the way. use your hands to separate your butt cheeks all the way, cough three times, really hard. cough. all right. go ahead and get dressed. this is your first time in santa rita? >> yeah. >> welcome to santa rita. go ahead and grab your stuff. >> that felt uncomfortable, like, getting undressed in front of someone i don't know. >> finally, markert arrives at her housing unit, where she will remain until her charges are resolved or she is bailed out.

>> all down there, they go home in seven to 14 days, you feel what i'm saying? they're not sitting here doing real time. we're sitting here doing real time, pushing real weight, [ bleep ] real stuff 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. 12 months. you feel me? 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 we roll them up and put them down there. they in play jail. we in real jail and we want to go home. you feel me? it's not cute. >> [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. >> while markert finds herself in the middle of a brewing storm, vincent del judas, who will soon transfer to state

the santa rita jail is no different than other jails, in that some inmates might spend years here. not convicted of a crime but just waiting for their cases to work their way through the courts. others might only spent 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've never been in this kind of trouble before. so -- it's new and i don't like it. >> so we meet lany markert last night around midnight. you're released on your own recognizance. they give you a piece of paper with your court date on it, 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 on your hearing. i wouldn't say inmate markert is scared straight. she didn't even stay one night in jail. she's going to need real help. no matter how much we offer people, they're going to want it. >> what's your name? >> 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. yeah, she had to feel stupid. you talking about, oh, yeah, best friend applications are being accepted. blah, blah. feel me? 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 book 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, if she was her best friend, she would have helped her. that's what i'm saying -- >> i was already helping her. i was not [ bleep ] getting down off my bed when i'm already comfortable on my little perch [ bleep ] do something that i don't think even was necessary. >> well, bitch, we ain't got no friends.

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 ], right? [ bleep ], [ bleep ] great. you want to act hard, bring it. >> 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! 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 beesley, the unit supervisor, immediately questions the two women to determine the source of the problem. >> she just have an issue, i guess she's upset with me because she was fighting, everybody laughing. >> 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 you put that many women in the same space with that kind of temperament, things are going to flare. >> hey, 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 yoga is far more effective than violence when it comes to surviving 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 two and a half 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 to 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 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. like they -- they like real supportive like. i actually had though 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 ♪
