i don't believe my son would get a gun and point it and shoot somebod somebody. >> i wish i could just be laying next to my girlfriend. just anywhere else be right here. >> what do you think is going to happen with your son? >> wow. i don't know. to be honest with you. i don't know. # hey, son. how you doing? let me see your face. you got a beard. [ laughter ] >> oh, yeah. definitely. you my son. i don't want my son locked up.

i want you to stay encouraged. i want you to keep your head up. >> yeah. trying to keep my head up the best i can. >> yeah. i know. >> being in here sucks, you know. >> i know, yi know. it's like being in captivity. it's a modern form of slavery. >> everything is based upon the past. but i see this with many kids. there will be lock up. they'll be searched 15, 20, 30 times. but a caucasian kid, i've never seen searched 15, 20, 30 times. >> i don't want my son harassed and bothered. i don't want my son pushed on a car and people searching him for nothing. i don't want that. >> though carlton sr. acknowledged his son's problem with the law and drugs, he believes young black men are

time in your life. this is your whole life. this is a bump in the road. all right. i love you, man. all right, peace brother. >> i think the visit went very well. the only advise i can give to him is just be strong and let this thing work itself out. it's a hurt thing to see him behind bars. he's not free. there's always a question in your mind. could you potentially lose a loved one for the rest of their life? you just don't know. you're never prepared for this. >> coming up, a major development from carlton solomon's case. and then. >> what's your longest relationship? >> a month and five days. >> melvin gathers says good-bye. ♪ ah, push it. ♪ ♪ push it. ♪ p...push it real good! ♪ ♪ ow! ♪ oooh baby baby...baby baby.
