america's prisons, dangerous, often deadly. there are 2 million people doing time. every day is a battle to survive and to maintain order. >> down on your feet. down! >> located in the deep south, holman correctional facility, where most are serving life sentences. we spent months documenting life on the inside, where the prisoners have nothing but time and nothing to lose. this is "lockup: holman, extended stay."

it requires a unique set of skills to run a violent prison like holman. warden grantt culliver embodies them. he's authoritative. >> you know that. >> dynamic and tough. >> you are not going to win an academy award. >> he shows compassion for the inmates he oversees, many of whom will never get out. but when violence explodes in holman, his zero tolerance policy is in full effect. >> lock it down. lock down. we are under a lockdown.

administrative segregation is home to roughly 200 inmates. confined to their cells 23 hours a day. these men often become defiant and desperate. when an inmate acts up in general population, he's moved to ad-seg. but when he acts up in ad-seg, the officers' only option is to periodically move the inmate from cell to cell. >> we're going to move him out. be a little particular with him because he's already hostile, you know. let's just use caution with him, okay?

>> put your hands behind you. cuff up. >> stick your hands out. >> shower stall right now. >> jamie bell is temporarily housed in the shower stall until his new cell is cleaned and inspected. >> all i'm asking is that somebody stop harassing me! >> our crew first met jammy bell a month earlier when he was outraged over unsanitary conditions in his cell. >> i can't breathe in here. my toilet is full up with feces. >> today, he's moving to a new cell after an inmate threw urine and feces through his ventilation. >> you're going to have the same problem, man. [ bleep ]. >> you sit up there and what do you're supposed to -- >> that's what i'm trying to do. >> let me see your hands. >> [ bleep ]. the guy's all over me. [ bleep ]. i can't sleep.

>> jammy bell, listen, listen. >> [ bleep ]. >> the department has this thing about profane language. so you got a guy that's acting out. you go up to him and you say, joe, i need to you quit banging on that door. i'm trying to talk to you. i'm trying to talk to you. >> you're telling me a lie! you're telling me that you will be -- >> crazy as hell. you think he understands that? it don't click. >> if you would shut the [ bleep ] up, you might understand nobody would be so pissed off at your ass, acting like a damn child. [ bleep ] everybody is tired of your ass here. >> if i can get to your language, if i can get to what you understand day-to-day, then that's what we use.

when all else fails, we take it up a notch further. >> take his ass, put him there, leave him outside. >> put your hands out there. >> [ bleep ]. you'll kill me! [ bleep ]. >> you are going out. >> [ bleep ] i'm not going to put my hands out. >> i'm not going to let one individual disrupt a thousand. okay? so, if force is needed to remove you from one area to the other, so be it. >> are you going to cuff up? >> you make me cuff up! this man threatened my life, told me he'd take me down -- >> that's good. well, he refused to cuff up and come out. we're going to move him out because he caused a disturbance, and the warden said move him out of the bull pen, let him get some fresh air and calm down. he's refusing to cooperate. wouldn't cuff up. i gave the officer an order to spray him. after a short order of time, he'll be ready to come out and get the spray off him.

it may take a little bit longer than normal today, he's pretty agitated. >> he spray med for no reason! >> let's go ahead and finish moving him. i'll check back on him. if he continues to get louder, i'll call the warden and probably do a cell extraction, get him out here. let the unit get calm again. everybody is in an uproar at the moment. >> [ bleep ]. >> he's getting loud enough. i think i'm going to have to make the call. >> after more than an hour of continuous yelling, the sergeant is left with no choice but to inform the warden. >> we sprayed jammy bell. he's still refusing to cuff up and come out. he's pretty loud and getting louder, it seems like. go ahead and go in and get him? that's what i was hoping but i wanted to make sure you was good with it. thank you. all right, fellas, we're going to do a cell extraction. >> i'll give you one more chance to cuff up and come out, jammy. >> where i going? that's what i'm asking. >> listen to me one time. put the handcuffs on.

come out the cell. all right. >> let's did the bull pen. >> i'm mad because you-all doing your jobs incorrectly, man. >> any one of them. >> talking all that [ bleep ], man. [ bleep ]. you suck my [ bleep ], you [ bleep ]! >> he'll be out there till we get everybody else in. he calms down, we'll bring him back. he gets compliant, we'll bring him back. if we have to, we'll do whatever it takes. >> [ bleep ], [ bleep ] my ventilation, and they allowing it! >> somebody told me you were going to do an audition for "american idol." y'all got that together? >> we're going to get it together. >> when i came in five years ago, one of the things was to try and change the culture of this facility from a no-care type of an attitude to let

people know that we did care. you are locked up but then you should consider this as home, because the majority of you, that's what it is. >> let me step back in the barber shop. get your shirt on. like you're supposed to. >> i don't like sloppiness. i just think you can do better. if you can't do any better, it's one thing. but if you can do better, you need to take care of yourself. get your clothes together, guys. get your clothes together. get your clothes together. >> warden culliver is a sign of change. since he's been here, he's implemented several good programs. >> the facility used to be open. you could go and come as you please. so we implemented a few things. you're not allowed to go into anybody else's housing unit, we went to an armband system to help the officers identify which housing unit you should be assigned to. >> the band has my name on it. it serves as an identification as far as my living quarters. every dorm here has a band and

the band indicates what color the door that you walk in. it's a controlled environment, a structured environment. >> people feel a lot more comfortable now. you don't have guys that sleep with their knifes as much now. but i attribute that to staff. i attribute it to some of the control factors that have been put in. i attribute it to the overall culture of the facility changing. >> once a week warden culliver walks the tiers of ad-seg, acting as a sounding board for these men locked up 23 hours a day. >> thought you liked lockup. you don't like lockup? why you keep coming back? >> i'm pretty much a straight-up guy. if that kind of steps on your toes a little bit, that's not what my intent it. but i need to give to it you straight. >> your mouth. you're going to have to learn how to control that. if you're ever going to make it. >> we deal with people. that's what we do. it takes a hell of a person to deal with people that no other citizens want to be bothered with, to be able to walk among these people day in and day out,

give instructions, tell them what to do, manage them without creating problems. next on "lockup: extended stay" -- >> move it. lock him up. >> violence erupts in holman. and for warden culliver, that means no holds barred. >> i want the whole housing unit locked down. we are under a lockdown. shall we dine?

processing the weapon as we speak. >> didn't have a handle on it. it's been on a grinder. i didn't want to touch it with the blood. i didn't see him pick it up. it's a good chance it was dropped off there by the metal fab near where we were taking the laundry. he picked it up laying in the grass or something. this is not the first time. >> by the time we got there, blood just everywhere. >> come on, man. i told you folks. >> lock it down. i want the whole housing unit locked down. we are under a lockdown. >> all right, lockdown, gentlemen. let's go. take it in. let's go. >> someone just made it easy for you this afternoon. >> just a lot of [ bleep ].

i'm irritated with the stabs. we're having too many. we're having too many stabbings. not accustomed to it. we're having four stabbings a year. right? it's july, we've already had four stabbings. and we seem to be increasing. for whatever reason. we shouldn't be increasing. we're just trying to check. we'll go back through and check, see what we can find out information-wise. >> why does the whole prison have to go on lockdown? >> because that's what i want. that's what i feel like is best right now. they need to understand i'm just not going to tolerate it. another day in the penitentiary. another day. >> less than 24 hours after the stabbing, the warden has regrouped, taken the prison off lockdown, and is back in control. >> we get these out of here. we had the hall looking great last night. let's try and keep it like that. >> we learned a few things

yesterday, which is always good. if you have an incident, at least make the best of it, try to learn what you can out of it. and so we reorganized the laundry, the way we bring our laundry in. the piece of metal looked fairly fresh, coming off a grinder. i feel that took place in the metal fab. we have a couple suspects that may be producing weapons in the metal fab. we'll be looking at that to try to pull those guys out. it was actually about shoes being stolen. he said he paid the guy three bags of coffee and the guy stole the three bags of coffee plus didn't bring his shoes back, so that's why he stabbed him. he had about three stab wounds. the one in his side was serious. the doctor told him they just missed getting his liver, which would have been, could have been, terminal. but after we got him back in from the hospital, he went on to ad-seg, and, of course, terry is in ad-seg. they both will go through disciplinary process. moore is probably going to get

a disciplinary for assault with a weapon. he's looking at probably quite a long time in the segregation unit. next on "lockup: extended stay" -- >> it's not my first stab, it probably not going to be the last time. >> stabber terry moore operates by a different set of rules. >> it's what had to be done. and later -- >> the warden shows a softer side. >> eat your ice cream cone. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back twice, once when you buy and again as you pay. it's cash back. then cash back again. and that's a cash back win-win . the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided.

somebody let me sit down. i don't care who lets me sit down. >> holman is changing and the faith-based honor dorm reflects

that transformation. this nondenominational self-governing dorm provides opportunities for inmates to achieve personal growth. >> men can come into that environment, be nurtured in their spiritual needs, i guess is one way to put it. they have an opportunity to be productive, have a sense of purpose in life. >> good morning. how are you doing? >> living area, without a doubt, is much better than general population is. there are more tvs, there are more opportunities, you have computers, but everything is more structured, which means that there's a point systems, so if you mess up, you get points taken away, you have to keep a point level in order to be able to stay in the dorm. if there is any disciplinary action, you get moved out of the dorm. >> this is sort of like the home away from home. hopefully, this is temporary. very temporary. >> michael jordan was sentenced to life without parole from charges ranging from rape to burglary. he has called prison home for the past 24 years.

>> after the honor dorm was developed, i was reluctant. this was a concept completely new to all of us. i put in an application, got involved before i started doing janitorial work or whatever was needed of me originally. i went from that to taking on leadership roles. currently teaching classes. >> each inmate in honor dorm has a job. ray everidge is serving life for theft. his job is dorm security. >> my job consists of monitoring the dorm. i walk down each aisle and check what they call uniformity. uniformity is where you check to make sure all the beds are properly clothed and make sure all their living area is in order.

>> in general population, correctional officers can write up inmates for infractions. >> thank you. >> but here in the honor dorm, fellow inmates police the hallways. >> if you see anyone violating, you give them a warning, tell them to stop doing it. if you see a direct violation, it's your option to give them a direct write-up. if you get a write-up, you go before a panel. and if you lose so many points, you get removed from the dorm. >> i love construction work. i got a building here that i designed that i hope to build upon my release. you get out here, all that tension seems to gradually dissipate. this is a blueprint of what i built. maybe do something positive with my life for a change. it gives you a different perspective on the things that you've done in your life. >> still, the warden runs a tight ship, even in honor dorm, and has noticed a recent increase in marijuana use. in his monthly meeting with the representatives from the dorm, he tackles this issue head-on. >> you can't tell me that the people in the dorm don't know who's using the dope or if

you're selling or pushing dope out here. you can't tell me that you don't know who's doing that. it hurts the overall image and process of the community when it comes up like that. >> we coordinate our own duty. >> who's coordinator on duty? today, we're heading into the faith dorm. there are some that have not made the grade, and i guess the one fellow we're going to talk to now is one who tested positive for marijuana trace elements. do you know why you're moving out? it's that reefer you smoked. >> i don't smoke no reefer. >> you were around it. some know how to beat the test. they don't know how to distinguish the difference between those that beat and it those who are around it. so you're suffering the consequences. >> a single infraction is an automatic ticket back to the hectic atmosphere of general population. inmate laurence stall learned that lesson the hard way.

>> there was a guy. apparently he thought i had disrespected him somehow, and he asked me outside. as soon as we got out there, he swung on me. so we get into a little scuffle, wasn't nothing real big. but that's what caused me to get knocked -- thrown out of the honor dorm. that was a year ago this may. >> honor dorm material. >> honor dorm material. >> that's me. >> hopefully pretty soon i'll be going back. i'm on the top of the list now. >> without the possibility of parole, lawrence stall has nothing but time to reflect on the events that landed him in prison 26 years ago. >> it was a homicide/robbery that got me here. i had never done any pcp. i'm high, not even thinking about what happened. we go rob a place and then two people got killed. we picked them up, took them out to a wooded area, and they were killed. it's not really something i like to talk about a lot. and i've come to accept prison, you know, as my lot in life. we got one coming in on that

steven parker is one of the most notorious. >> i'm in maximum security. i'm stuck in a lockup cell. they may not ever let me out of lockup because i have a tendency, every time i get out, i try to kill somebody. i go completely calm. i make up my mind what i'm going to do. i go into these zones where i turn into this cold-blooded. i don't know what causes it, other than just being depressed and feeling like i have nothing else to lose and nothing else to live for. i grew up pretty rough. my mother left when i was real young. i lived with my stepmother and my dad. and my stepmother, she was really hateful. she was kind of mean and abusive. i just wanted to kill her, and i

thought that would be what ended the pain and the problems that she caused. one morning, i woke up about 4:00 in the morning and drove to where they was living, my stepmother and my dad, and rang the doorbell. and when she answered the doorbell, i shot her at point-blank range. and then my dad -- my dad come around the corner on me, and i shot him three times. i've always regretted shooting my dad because i felt like i was close to my dad. it almost killed me, you know? my stepsister called the police on me and i surrendered to the police that morning. i felt like i was at the end of my rope and i did what i did. >> our crew first met steven parker more than a year earlier during our shooting of the original "lockup: holman." he was in ad-seg back then and considered very dangerous. >> steven parker is crazy. he's not a person that's very intelligent. >> it wouldn't take much to incite a riot or whatever. you know. you could take four officers hostage at the same time and it's going to domino. it's going to domino.

they don't have control. it's just a delusion. >> he's quite an individual. here a few weeks ago, he called me up to his cell. he was having a real problem with his next-door neighbor. in fact, he just told me, he said, if you don't move me or my next door neighbor, i'm going to kill him. if steven was having -- if he was having these kind of thoughts or these kind of problems, the guy next door -- somebody needed to be moved. that's why we did it. again, steven's a big man and -- but i have to say in much a way, he's a big man in a little boy's -- with a little boy's mind in a lot of different ways. open l-38, please. >> once in prison, steven parker, whose friends call him the worm, became more violent. >> stay away from him. we don't want him to have fun

with the cameras on, anyway. >> he slit one inmate's jugular vein with a box cutter and nearly strangled another to death. >> this happened several times in prison, where i've stabbed and cut inmates and strangled inmates. >> worm! don't do it! >> i just snap and i go crazy. i turn murderous and dangerous. i'm not nervous at all. it's like i'm in commando mode or something. and i'm very deadly with it, too. it was one night, about 10:00, a guy come in, tried to take my cigarettes from me. he came in and snatched them off the bed and he called me a bitch. i let that brew on me for a while. i thought about it all night. about 2:00 in the morning, i went and stabbed him 18 times. >> deputy warden patterson, along with the other senior staff members, make their weekly rounds in administrative segregation.

>> this is a place of confinement for those men that need to be down here, be isolated from contact with the general population. through their behavior or through their disciplinary problems, or the fact they just simply can't live in living. >> they review each status to determine who is ready to return to general population. >> what would it take to release a transfer? >> what would it take for you to get a transfer? if you go anywhere, it will be maximum assignment. okay? >> we just completed our weekly segregation review board and now we would go into our deliberations about the status of the men being incarcerated down there. steven parker. he needs to stay where he is. he is a dangerous man. we did recently find a weapon in his cell. he will do good and he will tell

you he will do good and his behavior is good right now, but not so long ago, he came out and assaulted an officer. he's a big man, he's hard to control, he's a dangerous man, and he is appropriately assigned in that segregation cell at this point. >> he is dangerous. as far as my vote, i don't think he never need to be in a population setting. >> segregation is a place of confinement for men who you must separate from the general population. and steven parker is one of those guys that must be separated. we must keep him controlled at all times. >> i guess i'm going to go crazy. i don't know. i guess i'm going to spend the rest of my life in prison and keep doing the same things i've been doing. i don't know what else to do. until somebody kills me, i guess. i don't know. next on "lockup: extended stay" -- >> life on death row was a very traumatic experience.

death was definitely next. >> eight years on death row can make any inmate question his sanity. >> i feel confused, went through a mental stage where i likened to lose my mind. best friend. i am her ally. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to her current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment like aricept®, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects

terry moore stabbed another inmate over a pair of sneakers. he says a mixture of fear and anger fueled his attack. >> if you take something like shoes, they took shoes, i know who it is. the other guys in the block, they know i know. so if i don't deal with it, then that's a weak spot on my point. so they can go, okay, he's weak and we can steal the rest of his stuff and that's what was coming next eventually. it's not my first stab, not the first time i've had stuff stolen and probably not going to be the last time. it's what has to be done. >> since he's serving life without parole, it's unlikely he'll receive any additional time. the victim of the stabbing is recovering, but remains in ad-seg until the warden feels he's ready to return to general population. with no parole date in sight, terry moore feels he has nothing to lose. and so fear of breaking the rules isn't much of a deterrent for him. but hope is not lost for all

inmates serving life without parole. >> what did you do with the sun glasses you had the other day? >> i put in drops. >> what kind of drops? >> eye doctor. the eye doctor gave them to me. >> the culture has changed because i think people have more hope. what coincided with that was a couple of laws that changed. some of our life without parole inmates, when you serve life without parole and all your crimes were habitual offender, they were all nonviolent, then you had the opportunity to go back to the judge and have the sentence overturned. some of the life without parole guys, instead of being violent or having a no-care study, they really have hope they will have their case overturned and one more chance to go back outside. >> and the inmates serving life without parole aren't the only ones getting the second chance. mitch rutledge was on death row before his sentence was overturned. >> i came here in 1981. june 17 i came to death row. i did approximately a little 0 eight years on death row. came off 1989. reversal from the alabama supreme court find the d.a. said
