officials at the santa rosa correctional institution in florida allowed us to give cameras to several inmates in order to let them record personal thoughts about prison life. among them are two of santa rosa's more seasoned inmates. who between them have spent decades in prison. >> as the years go by you get comfortable. i don't wish anyone was in here. time has a way of running away from you. one day you look in the mirror and you start seeing gray hair. where did that come from? then one day you look in the mirror, and you're going twenty years. twenty years.

body before it can take care of you, you know. >> every shackle has two locks on it. one lock, and two locks. all the 1s are keyed the same and the 2s are keyed the same. so you have two sets of keys for each shackle. it's security. in case anyone gets a hold of one of our key chains. more than likely they're not going to get a hold of two. >> got the secure the chains so the lock won't go up and down on your foot. the most comfortable place for you to walk, or you're going to trip on them all day long. you have to secure them. with the shoestring. >> get your bags two at a time starting up front. ♪ >> at age 50, mchellon is one of the oldest inmates to work in the fields. his 20-year-old cell mate scott parker is one of the youngest. he's serving five years for

people do get stabbed. people do get raped. you got to carry yourself a certain ways to get respect. >> parker's desire for respect is what landed him in confinement. he and three others brutally attacked another inmate. >> he lost a lot of blood so that's why they had to airlift him out. he never did nothing to me, at all. i had nothing against him. i had no right to do what i did. >> mchellon has dedicated himself to teaching parker a better way to do time. >> he's horror less like a son figure to me. but at the same time i know i'm not, he has his own mother, he has his own father. but right now he's more or less in my care. i'm concerned about him in the sense that he tends to get influenced by his friends, you know. i told him, i said you don't even have to go there, you know what i'm saying? >> while mchellon has become a surrogate father of sorts to parker he says his multiple prison stays have cost him his relationship with his own children. >> right now i'm not in contact

with any of them. i miss them all, i really do. so if any influence comes from me to him, i wanted it to be something positive. i wanted it to be something good. and then that way, if anybody's around my kids, i want them to be given them a positive influence, rather than some negative, and then i can't expect that if i don't first give it. >> among other things, mchellon is helping parker earn his g.e.d. >> why wasn't this right? >> listen, listen, this is what i'm trying to tell you. you trying to find a number that will go into both of them equally. you couldn't find one. now you have to back it up. >> scott keeps saying that i can't do math, i said don't say can't. don't even put that in your vocabulary. i said you can. >> that one was easy. >> that's the difference of multiplication. >> that one's easy. >> multiplication is even different from that. division is different from that.

it helps me, makes me feel a lot better about myself being able to help somebody else out. >> a lot of things he says, my father has done told me -- i told you. and i'm like here my dad says that all the time, with him being so much older than me if he feels like he can help me, he's going to give me his opinion. whether or not i take that sometimes i don't want to hear it. whatever, i don't want to hear it. >> and i'm not his father so i can't tell him what to do. it's simply up to him whether he want to or not. so that's why i can't force that issue. now if he was my son -- i'd tear his little butt up. coming up. >> in my game, this game of disciples, i hold the knowledge. >> alex everett faces the consequences of his actions. >> losing the manifesto, yes, probably going to get in trouble. it could be a beatdown. >> and later, jack hill faces a different sort of threat. >> don't know what that is but it's really scary. a cause to support the over 65 million people

everett has now been moved to a higher security housing unit. but he says the officers didn't get everything. >> in my gang, the same gang, i -- the disciples, i hold the knowledge. so that's why i had so much gang paraphernalia. i seen gang unit come here due to the fact that i am a gang member. i block my window. i knew i was dirty. so i knew i only had just seconds. the things that i could reach for -- >> take the window down. >> -- i flushed them. but i'm not knowing that when i put the shield up, he seen what i was doing. >> take the window down. >> so i told my roommate, man, forget it, man, i'm going to go out there and put dirt on dirt. -- if i'm dirty i'm dirty. >> our interview with him and everett went very well. he's admitted to the fact that he's been insane gangsta disciple since he was 14 years

old. however he said it wasn't really about gangs. it was about unity. they delude themselves into thinking this is a huggy feely type of gang when it's not. >> the manifesto also included a key to the gang's secret codes. >> we have shampoo. that's code for weed. conditioner, heroin. we use these things to control contraband. if it says that you used my shampoo in the shower, and he signs it 0-31 it's pretty basic that he's a blood and he's delivering something to the shower, marijuana, heroin, something. basically, you put a time on it. so i'll know what time to go look. >> everett's gang may exact punishment as a result of his losing the manifesto. >> losing the manifester, yes, probably you're going to get in trouble. supposed to memorize it and lose it. it could be a beatdown. it could be loss of rank.

soften it up. don't stand around. >> while some squad members appreciate the chance to be outdoors, others like philip nixon, could do with less exposure to the elements. >> how did you get so sun burned? >> rls. we go out there and do work but there's no shade. you know, so we sit out there for the whole time, and get just like that. you know, sunscreen don't really help, because there's no shade. you know, you're in straight sunlight for six hours. ain't really no way to get away from it. >> it's free labor. we're out there working in the field for nothing. it's free labor. it's like a slave plantation, basically. >> nixon is serving 15 years for third degree murder. marcus young has ten years for robbery and battery with a deadly weapon. but he's had plenty of trouble inside prison, as well. >> marcus young has

her so that with 15 days in d.c. no matter what they did it was well worth it. >> in addition to the extra time in confinement, young and nixon will also be separated. those changes are routine to inmates like jack hill who has spent much of the last 30 years in prison. >> it's life. it's life in prison. but you're in prison, people come, people go, you know, you don't miss them. just remember them. >> what can you say? take it as it comes. good with the bad. for every negative try to make a positive. >> another change hill is about to experience is the prison's upcoming ban on smoking. >> personally me i'm kind of looking forward to that. you know. take them out. get them out. i don't know if this is going to sound morbid or anything like that but sometimes after losing so much of my family i start thinking about mortality in here. i would -- i really don't want to die in prison.

okay? although it's a very real possibility that i may, because we're not guaranteed tomorrow. >> when we gave hill a camera to share personal feelings in his cell, we learned why mortality has been on his mind lately. >> see that right there? yeah. >> don't know what that is. it's really scary. blood on the collar of my coat. on my bed sheet. washcloth. towel. we'll see. i got something popping up here on my face. think it's probably skin cancer. so we'll see. it's something new, anyway, huh? >> a prison nurse has examined the lesion on hill's face and has made an appointment for him to see a doctor. >> you know my grandfather died of cancer and my grandmother died of cancer, you know. my aunt died of cancer.

>> you know, we'll see. >> coming up, jack hill learns his fate. >> judging from the appearance of the thing and the timeline and everything, i have a location. to get richard to his campbell's chunky soup. it's new chunky beer-n-cheese with beef and bacon soup. i love it. and mama loves you. ♪ and mama loves you.

captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there.

this is my workout every day. >> you want to know what's funny, the island that i'm from usually the girls, about five or six start learning how to cook rice. so my sister, i told all my sisters, i got them beat. y'all cooking like maybe ten cups at a time. i do 150 pounds. five-star meal right here. we might have cleaned this corn. same corn we cleaned.

corn we picked. shucked, bagged. loaded up. >> good thing we did a good job on it. >> mm-hmm. >> despite the differences in both age and race, cell mates scott parker and alvin mchellon have come to think of each other more as family than friends. for the past few months, they have shared a small cell in the close management or confinement unit at the santa rosa correctional institution. but mchellon may soon be leaving for the general population compound. the prison's internal classification team has recommended the transfer. but it must still be approved by a state classification officer. >> today is supposed to be the day ms. beasley comes through, let us know if we're going to the compound or not. it can go either way. i know i did everything i'm supposed to do. you know i ain't been in no trouble, keeping a clean record, keeping self occupied whatnot. i'm looking for it to go favorably but if not i got to be ready for it.

>> how do you feel about that? >> a little anxious, you know. but more or less like i prayed about it so i'm feeling pretty good about it. >> i review them every six months and make a decision with their behavior. as to what level -- the next level that will go and whether they'll be released. to open pop. it all based on their behavior and they're aware of what the rules are. and if they follow the rules, then they will get good news, and sometimes they won't get good news. inmate mchellon. >> yes, ma'am. >> i'm miss beasley with state classification. you're going to be released to open pop. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> yes! yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. that's what we're talking about right there. that's what we're talking about. it came out all right just like we was hoping. i'm going to the compound. that's what i wanted to hear. >> it must feel pretty good. >> oh, yeah, oh, yeah.

after all this time seeing them. now i'm going back to open pop. next step, home, freedom. >> i'm happy for him. hate to see him go, but i love to see him leave, you know what i'm saying? >> i'm going to miss you, my roommate big al. man, going in the compound, that's my man. be easy, dog. keep your head up, man. stay out of trouble. don't come back, do your time, relax. don't fall back. going to miss you dog, man, appreciate your help you know what i'm saying, looking out. hope to see you again one day, you know what i'm saying? alvin mchellon. from gainsville. a good dude, man. >> i wonder how much time i have left.

i wanted to just come right out there, by that i would mean in here. by that i mean in in world. i hope that i have enough time to see my son, my daughter. i hope i have a chance. >> today, jack hill is going to see the prison doctor. concerning a lesion on his face that hill believes could be cancer. >> it's scary. it's scary. especially, you know, you start getting a little age on you, you start seeing things like this, i wonder where it's going to lead. this -- it's kind of scary. >> judging from the appearance of the thing, and the time line and everything, i -- and the location, i'm going to say that looks like a small basal cell carcinoma. it's a type of skin cancer usually found in the center part of the face. ultraviolet light from the sun

is the chief offender there. some people come in and you need a cart to carry their chart. mr. hill has a chart that, despite the number of years he's been in the system, it's probably no more than a half an inch thick. which tells me that he is more likely to minimize and ignore something of import than he is to come in complaining of something that's trivial. this is early enough we're not going to have any problems with it. we'll just get it taken care of now. will it come back? this is the result of many years in the sun. >> right. >> and there's a whole lot more of you saw the sun than just that one spot. just come back to us if you have any suspicious spots or concerns or questions. >> it makes you think. it sure makes you -- it was a wake-up call. >> this is a learning experience for jack. he will know what to look for even more than he did before. he'll know the significance of these strangely acting lesions

more than he did before. and he's more likely to catch it earlier rather than later. so i think he'll do quite well. >> i'm just glad we got this. i caught it in time. >> i'll bring you a blue consult sheet to sign and we'll get you set up with a dermatologist and get you going to get this taken care of. >> thank you, sir. thank you very much. >> okay. sure enough. >> that went good. like i said, i was very concerned, you know. just by the way it was, you know, i knew it wasn't normal. and i did the right thing. we caught it in time, which is always good. you know. and i feel a lot better about that. anyway,is' time to go. it's time for that note up there. i'm going to say ad ios. we'll see you later, good-bye.
