hell yeah it's stressful. this is one of the stressfullest things you can do. try to think of anything you can do that relieves a little bit of stress you know from drawing a picture to, lifting weights. to i mean, anything. it's horrible. nobody wants to do this. >> 407? >> isolated among the rural farming communities of southwestern indiana, the wabash vally correctional facility is 380 acres of concrete, razor wire and broken dreams for the more than 2,000 inmates incarcerated at this maximum security prison. they arrive from all over the state. but superintendent dick brown who runs wabash, and began his career as a corrections officer here 19 years earlier, has seen

a big change in the population. >> through the door, please. >> traditionally most of the prisoners were from inner cities, gary, indianapolis, south bend, fort wayne. now we're seeing a lot more from rural communities. i think that's due in part to the methamphetamine problem. the ingredients for methamphetamine come from farms. that's why we have a large amount of offenders that are being incarcerated, my opinion, from local small communities. they get involved with the meth ring and get caught up and then they end up in the indiana department of correction. >> i got to be honest the place in my town, most of them knew me by first name basis. >> it's the same thing over and over. day in. day out. >> methamphetamine use is the worst thing i ever come in contact with.

my only regret, i wish i never, ever in my life seen it for the hundred good stories i could tell you i can tell you three times the bad stories. it made me feel the greatest at times and made me hate myself most of the time. >> chas harper is currently serving his fourth prison term. the first three totalled about six years for theft and burglary. but when he was then caught with 114 grams of meth, the judge threw the book at him. >> i was sentenced to 72 years which means i have to do 36. that is 12 years more than a murder. most murderers get 60 years. it's hard for my family to grasp that the amount of time for the charges. i mean how do you explain to a 6-year-old why your dad can't come home and how do you explain to an 11-year-old that, son, you might be a grown man before you ever see me again, if you ever see me again on the outside. >> but harper is not without family behind the bars.

he shares a cell with his younger half brother david carr. >> we have got in trouble together. we been arrested several times together. if he decided he wanted to do something i would go behind him and be like all right. let's go, then. >> keep doing this [ bleep ] be a domestic battery case. i swear to god. >> i got it. i'm just trying to figure out -- >> i will be up for clemency by the time you figure it out. >> carr has been in and out of prison on minor drug charges for the past ten years. this time he is in for dealing meth. like his brother, prosecutors had had enough of him, as well. >> they said if i went to trial and was convicted by a jury they was going to give me 85 years and they just gave chas 72 years so i knew they wasn't screwing around so i went ahead and signed the plea bargain so i could avoid the trial. >> i know you are distraught because your favorite show "days

of our lives" isn't on now. >> oh, yeah. >> even with the plea bargain he was sentenced to 35 years. >> that's what you get for dealing. >> for dealing? >> carr says he sold drugs not just to support his addiction but to support his brother. >> chas was arrested and i started paying for his legal fees. i was paying for his attorney with drug money. >> i feel like it's my fault. i feel like he messed up his life trying to save mine. >> no matter where you're at or what you're at, family's first, you know. it's just the way it is. >> i know in any situation i

ever get into, he's going to be there, whether it's right or wrong, good or bad, he's going to be there. and i mean, he's loyal, loving and a pain in the ass, sometimes but that's him. you can't pick your family. >> skitz. that's the nickname that he gave me probably about ten years ago? >> yeah. ten or twelve years ago. >> yeah. >> how did he get that nickname. you tell me. >> we was high on meth, we was setting there and he was tripping out thinking he could see the cops everywhere and he kept saying there's the cops i swear that's the cops. i was like, quit skitzing out. after that it was just it. every time i turned around i kept calling him skitz and now everybody in america calls him skitz. >> pretty much. >> coming up harper and carr continue to mark time. >> 390 more months to go and i'm out of here. >> a cell search uncovers a cry for help. >> the gentleman we just took to

summer camp is over. ♪ [ male announcer ] tomcat. [ cat meows ] [ male announcer ] engineered to kill.

a methamphetamine epidemic has not only ravaged many of the small rural towns of america's heartland, it's changed the face of the inmate population. at prisons like wabash valley correctional facility in southwestern indiana. but wabash also houses many doing time for far more serious crimes. men like jeremy blanchard. >> i have never been a drug abuser. i've never been a drunk. i knew what i done when i done it.

i knew the heinous nature of what i done. i can still to this day remember nearly every blood spot that was in that house. i can remember the wallpaper, the way the bodies were laid. i can remember nearly everything that happened that night. >> blanchard has served a little more than one year of a 195-year sentence. but his facial tattoos will forever commemorate both his crime, the triple murder and the moniker the local media gave him, kokomo slayer. >> it's telling you, that's what i've done. that's who i am. that's what i'm about. yes. >> blanchard tracked down his former girlfriend, jessica berg, her mother, and her brother's

boyfriend when they traveled to kokomo, indiana, to attend a funeral for jessica's grandmother. blanchard broke into the house they were staying in, hid inside until they came home and got ready for bed then stabbed all three to death with a butcher's knife. >> a friend of jessica's told me that she had an abortion and that's what prone my anger, my hatred. i mean that's my child that -- that -- that was killed. i'm not even a political person. i've never thought about abortions in that manner. but i guess you could say as a man, i felt like i was stabbed in the heart a thousand times. >> blanchard first attacked jessica's mother and her boyfriend as they lay in bed. >> i remember jessica running into the room and i stabbed jessica just to shut her up. because she was screaming. and i wanted to talk to jessica before i knew i killed her.

so i let jessica say good-bye to her mom because her mom was dying. i took jessica back into the kitchen. and i -- i made a tourniquet for jessica's neck because i stabbed her neck. i wanted to know why she done what she done, why she killed my child. and i will say this, she never admitted it. >> the next morning jessica's brother arrived and discovered the bodies. knowing that blanchard had threatened and harassed jessica after the two polite up, he identified blanchard as a suspect and police apprehended him within hours. later, blanchard pled guilty as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty. >> you don't feel you should have received the death penalty? >> i believe that is for god to answer.

if god would have wanted me that, then i would have got that. do i believe that because i took another person's life that i -- that i should die? no, i don't. >> why isn't it up to god to decide jessica's fate? why did you take that opportunity? >> obviously, it was their time. i can't answer that. >> do you still believe that they all deserved to die? >> i would honestly answer yes. yes. i believe that they done something to me that i couldn't live with. it would have hurt me till the day i died. >> while blanchard says drug use played no role in his triple homicide, the prison estimates drugs were directly involved in the convictions of about

one-third of its inmates, and played an indirect role in the majority of the others. drugs make their way behind the walls, as well, despite the prison's screening methods they can be smuggled in through the mail or visitation, and corrections staff is constantly on the lookout for them. >> go ahead and roll 203. >> we are going to go in and shake down suspected people who got drugs, possibly, weapons, anything unauthorized we're going to take. >> let the dog run through the cell and shake down. >> 504. >> there's a high concentrations of possible meth in this unit. so we're going to fry to find it. >> 507. >> a lot easier to see things when there is not as much clutter. that's why a lot of these guys like to keep a lot of clutter because they know it makes our job harder.

>> while corrections officers search their cells, the inmates are required to give urine samples to test for drug use. >> the result is negative on that. each line has a number. the drugs down there. the control line across the top tells us that the test was valid. as long as there's a line by every number then the test was negative. >> one inmate refused to comply with the drug test. >> 604. >> four. >> the inmate is martin mcdaniel who is serving 15 years for three counts of burglary. >> he is going to the ccu which is the custody control unit. they take offenders down there who are troublemakers, who refuse orders, who have been in fights, what have you. >> officers inspecting the cell soon make a discovery. >> i'll call the nurse. this is prescription. >> mcdaniel has a prescription for antidepressants. but the pills shouldn't be in

the cell. >> we found a bunch of drugs he should have taken when they were hand given to him. so we know he's been saving them. >> moments later a letter is discovered in mcdaniel's cell. it could shed light on why he was saving his medication. >> hey, mom, how are you doing? i'm good and safe. depends on where i went. i'm sorry for putting you through this but mom my fight is done. i could not take it anymore. this is definitely a suicide letter. >> vera? >> what? >> the gentleman we just took to ccu we just found a suicide note in his drawer and he's saying bye to his mom and children so put him on suicide watch. make sure that gets to evidence. >> coming up. >> the letter was never intentionally to be found. >> martin mcdaniel speaks out and is then surprised by the consequences. >> that's bull [ bleep ] and you know it. >> and more from the kokomo slayer. >> i seen it like she done something to me. so therefore i'm going to do something tenfold to her. else as well:

almost every inmate at wabash valley correctional

facility eventually finds some way to deal with life behind the walls. half brothers dave carr and chas harper use humor. >> i mean, we try to make each other laugh, you know. sit there and go, boy i'm sure glad, think about how much money we're saying on gas right now, bub. we're saving a lot of money on gas right now. you know. what's that saying? won't make you laugh will make you cry. so you just do what you do. >> with harper sentenced to 72 years and carr 35 years for crimes related to their use of methamphetamine both men have had plenty to cry about, especially when it comes to who they have left behind. >> i got the zoom and stuff right. mom, dad, i just want to take a second when nobody's in here to tell you that i love you, i miss you, i'm sorry for what i put you through.

>> to my boys i love you. i think about you every day. i'm so sorry i hurt you. through the process of growing up without having a father. hardest part of doing any of this time is knowing that you guys are worried about me. there's no need for that. >> but not everyone here has a brother to lean on. >> 604. >> four. >> during a routine shake down in housing unit "d," inmate martin mcdaniel was taken to the custody control unit after refusing to take a drug test. corrections officers then discovered he had been hoarding his prescription drugs. moments later they found something else. >> the gentleman we took to ccu we just found a suicide note in his drawer and he is saying bye to his mom and children. put him on suicide watch. >> inmates on suicide watch are stripped of all possessions

except boxer shorts, placed in a completely stripped down cell, and undergo around-the-clock observation. but after they examined him, mental health staff determined mcdaniel was not suicidal. for refusing to take the drug test, however, he must remain in the custody control unit where he will be locked in his cell 23 hours a day, with only an hour for a shower or recreation. later he said it was because he had taken some of his cell mate's prescription methadone. >> i refused it because i was positive too and ended up over here. >> can you talk to me a little bit about the letter? >> the letter was never intended to be found. you know. i wrote it probably about a month ago.

just haven't heard from nobody or nothing and you know was just feeling pretty down and so i wrote it. unfortunately, they found it. >> mcdaniel says part of his despair is from missing his two daughters who are 12 and 13 years old. he has spent almost half of their lives in prison. >> they had it rough not having me around. when i was out there i chose drugs a lot of time. so that deprived them. you write them and don't get a response, you know. >> mcdaniel's daughters live with their mother and her husband. he has only seen them once in the last two years. the last time was soon after he swallowed a handful of pills in his cell. >> when that happened and my family got told, you know, i got a visit, like, the following

week from my kids and everybody started writing letters and i think it was more to open their eyes up too that i was, you know, pretty down, you know. from now hearing from them. >> as the interview wrapped up mcdaniel expected to return to his cell in the custody control unit. but his comments during the interview renewed concerns among staff about mcdaniel's state of mind, and they decided he would, in fact, be placed on suicide watch. >> i don't want to let anything happen to you. >> nothing is going to happen to me. why you going to strip me out again? >> because that's the protocol. >> that's [ bleep ] and you know it. >> well, it may be -- >> this will be it and they will talk to you in the morning. you'll be done. >> yeah, let dr. sams come in in the morning, talk to you and we'll get it all cleared up.

>> because we talked about the [ bleep ] letter out here. >> inmate mcdaniel was sent here on suicide watch. talked to mental health. mental health released him. but custody, meaning myself, and my captain and other custody staff here feel that we need to keep an eye on until mental health can come back and speak with him over the issue of the letter. >> mcdaniel will be confined in a cell with only his boxer shorts and remain under constant observation until he is taken off suicide watch. >> we've got a fellow out of suicide watch every 15 minutes. he goes through the fingers move, what he's doing. how he's acting. if he's in restraints. if he's just in his cell. you know. as long as he's okay. coming up -- >> dare you to put your finger in this. >> i did. >> two brothers and their buddies celebrate another month down with a prison slam. >> rocking up a crack rock. >> i never did that, sir. >> that's it.

here's what's happening. the cdc says dr. rick does in the have ebola and has been released from isolation as a boston-area hospital. he was successfully treated for ebola last month but was hospitaled yesterday with a cough and fever. turns out to be a respiratory infection. and that nbc freelance cameraman stricken with ebola in africa is being flown to the u.s. he's expected to arrive at a nebraska hospital in the morning for treatment. more news later. now back to "lockup." due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. my name is jeremy blanchard. i'm serving 195-year sentence for three counts of murder. this is my personal time to say once again to my family that i'm

truly sorry. and it's a -- if i could change the fact i put you through so much turmoil and heartache, i would. >> jeremy blanchard might regret that his parents and young son have suffered through the emotional turmoil of losing him to prison. but when it comes to the horrifying triple murder that brought him to wabash and earned him the moniker kokomo slayer he is less regretful. >> would i say that i would not do it again? i honestly cannot tell you that. >> blanchard stabbed his former girlfriend, her mother, and her mother's boyfriend multiple

times with a butcher's knife. he committed the murders in the belief that his ex-girlfriend had aborted their baby. >> i used a knife because it's more intimate. i wanted to make them feel like the way i felt. i seen it like, she done something to me, so therefore, i'm going to do something ten fold to her. i'm a man of principle. i guess you could say. somebody like me with my mentality does not belong out in society. so, yeah, i believe that i belong in prison. i don't take that away from society. >> blanchard will have a lifetime in prison to think about the devastating effects of his principles. but chas harper who is serving 72 years on his latest conviction for dealing methamphetamine has a completely different set of priorities. he recently discovered a device to help make his leisure time more leisurely. >> yeah, my brother come up with this.

it's a razor, and you just -- and the razor guard and you just hook it up there. all the way across the cell. you just sit back and turn it like that. >> knowing he might have to serve at least 36 years before being paroled, harper places a high priority on making prison feel like home. it helps that he shares a cell with his half-brother dave carr who is up for parole in about 16 years. >> dave, put your finger in this? >> well, i did. >> but they still celebrate every month that gets them closer to home. >> today is -- we're going to celebrate a month gone by. me, and my brother, and two other guys. kamikaze is a penitentiary mcguyver. he's an electronic whiz. you know, give him a bread tie

and some fingernail clippers and he's got it fixed in two minutes. he's good at cooking his celly is really good at cooking. we get together. have a slam. big nacho slam, make a cake. you know, we say a celebration. i say it's basically to realize we just wasted another month in here. it's something to look forward to. >> who makes the cake? kamikaze, my buddy kamikaze, he makes the cake. >> patrick kamikaze gaskill who is serving 30 years for dealing methamphetamine is no ordinary cook. among wabash inmates, he's a culinary genius. turning commissary snack food into something special. but during a prior prison term he learned to be a different sort of cook. >> i went around to other people who were in prison for cooking meth and got a recipe from this guy, got a recipe from this guy and figured that was going to be my new thing. instead of stealing cars wasn't working. the last two times that i got out of prison that was all that i -- my intent was to cook meth.

don't get me wrong, i love to smoke it, too. but you know, i like to make it. making something that people really like and getting the reaction from it, you know, that was another thing that i liked about it. i always tried to make the best stuff. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> bye-bye. >> for their monthly slam, the four men pool the snacks they purchase from the prison commissary. >> this is a survival kit. you got some chips, some shells, some sausages, some beans, soups. >> about a month. >> about a week, really. >> yep. >> he might be little but he can put some food away. >> but things don't always go as planned. >> a bag of jolly ranchers out of a $20 order. this is everything i ordered. right here. all they gave me was the jolly ranchers. everything else says exceeds my balance.

i'm eating off skitz for the next two weeks. >> you all right with that? >> [ bleep ] yeah. >> even if he isn't, i'm still going to. he doesn't have a choice in the matter. >> that's what a brother's for. >> what's mine is his. >> even with the shortfall, the men have managed to acquire the necessary ingredients for gaskill's chocolate peanut butter fudge cake. >> to make peanut butter fudge, take the peanut butter and melt it down. you got to cook down the sugar, add some sugar with it to make some icing. we have brownies for the crust. we'll roll that out and make it like a layered brownie fudge and then once we get that done we'll melt down the candy bars and put that on top. it's like rocking up a crack rock. >> i never did that, sir. >> looking good, ain't it, bro? >> [ bleep ] yeah. >> melt down the chocolate. you have to spread it out before it starts hardening up. that's it.

guaranteed if you don't have diabetes after this, you will. >> here's to the month of april. another month in the books. >> 394 more months and i'm out of here. thank god. we're making quesadillas for may? >> i don't know. >> while all four men are serving lengthy sentence, gaskill, harper and carr received theirs as a result of multiple convictions for mainly drug-related offenses. but gaskill's cell mate fabian gomez is serving 40 years for taking a life. >> feel pain because i did horrible things out there. that destroyed lots of families, including my own. i lived the life of a thug. all i did was party and sell drugs. >> gomez's crime took place on new year's eve when he says he

was cleaning his gun. >> new year's of course you want to shoot your gun for new year's. >> gomez admits he had been cheating on his girlfriend and says that night she confronted him on it. >> we got in a really bad argument. not physical, verbal but in the instance of the argument, something happened where the gun went off. >> gomez's girlfriend was hit in the face. >> she was -- she fell to the floor. she was bleeding. i called 911 and the police came and they pulled me to the side. you know, everything started happening. everything started happening like i was in the dream. >> his girlfriend was rushed to the hospital. but she wasn't the only one fighting for her life. >> she was pregnant. she was going to be a month due

when it happened. >> doctors saved the baby, a girl who is now being raised by his girlfriend's parents. gomez's girlfriend died two weeks later. >> do you think you will ever see that child? >> i have faith that i will. i have faith that i will. >> coming up, martin mcdaniel gets honest about his suicidal feelings. >> it's a good thing they come in my room. >> you were, then? >> yeah. no doubt about it. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid at the source ♪ tum, tum tum tum... smoothies! only from tums.

after officers found a suicide letter and a stockpile of prescription pills in his cell, they put him on suicide watch. a measure he insisted was unnecessary. mcdaniel was taken off suicide watch the following day. several weeks later he admitted that despite his earlier denials he was suicidal. >> when i wrote the letter, right, i had intentions of o.d.'ing because my kids wrote me a letter. and told me the day they was coming, right? i was going to wait until after visit and take them that night, right? but it's a good thing they come in the room, man. >> you were, then? >> yeah. yeah. yeah. no doubt about it. >> mcdaniel says his despair was

housing unit to spend 60 days in confinement for being caught with inmate-made alcohol. >> the sanctions i imposed for making the intoxicants were a written reprimand do not make or possess intoxicants. 30 days phone loss. demotion from credit class one to credit class two, and 60 days disciplinary seg. it's a secure unit for segregation, prison administrative segregation there as well as disciplinary segregation. >> although the confinement unit is an eighth of a mile away for security purposes all inmates transferred there have to be escorted by two officers and transported by van. >> 60 days is just the beginning of summer. so i will be missing this summer this year's, you know, pretty much. the best couple months out of the year. it don't make no difference. have to try to keep my nose clean and stay out for next time. >> he'll be back. [ bleep ].

you know, hey, it's one good thing about prison. ain't nobody going nowhere. >> sometimes it's good to be by yourself to get you that alone time that you need. but on the other time will the be boring because i have nobody to talk to. this is it, though. >> new home for a while. >> what's your first impression? >> i've been in the hole before. different scenery, you know, still locked up doing time. >> though carr and harper have come to depend on each other in prison they may be going their separate ways before long as well. >> i'm assigned transfer papers to go to a lower security prison. before they could refuse them.

but right now they're doing a lot of shifting of inmates and stuff and we can't refuse it. >> what's going to happen to you? you'll miss him. >> well, yeah, probably might do a little ccu time. i don't know. i mean, i don't know. i really don't know how i'm going to react to it. but it's going to suck ass. >> i would rather stay here. but when he leaves this cell, will probably be the last time i ever see him again. 72 and 36, period. that leaves me 33 left to do. that's basically life to do. i mean, he can be without within 15 years. but he'll never be allowed to come back in to the facility to see me. that's my best friend. >> at least i'll get letters in 15 years. there's a positive side to it. >> whenever i get to wherever i'm going we'll establish correspondence, get approved for correspondence and be able to write each other. but i mean, it's not the same thing. >> i just want to let you know, chas, i miss you brother. keep your head up.

hopefully i'll see you soon. >> david carr, man, you already know how i feel about you. it's going to suck when you leave. but right now the goal is to make sure you hit the streets. so keep your head up. i'll try not to -- i'll try not to skitz out while you're gone.

they would hang people. >> a self-described white supremacist may not be who he says he is. >> he has a mixed brother and sister. he's not a racist.
