population of about 2,000 men and women charged with anything, from minor crimes to capital murder. most are here awaiting trial of the resolution of their charges. the original jail opened in 1976. 20 years later, an additional jail facility was built right across the street. >> let's go! >> today, both buildings are overcrowded. and their layouts are outdated. >> how are you guys doing back here? you doing all right? >> director mark bolton wants to change that. >> this is an old facility. it's a very costly facility to operate. and one of my goals that i would like to accomplish before i leave here is master capacity planning for a new direct supervision jail. >> direct supervision is a

>> the booking fee just keeps adding on and adding on. it can be several hundred dollars you owe the jail. >> beavers had such a lien on his account. so he made a deal with mitchell. beavers' family would deposit commissary money on mitchell's account. mitchell would then order commissary goods for beavers. the dispute arose over how many packages of noodle soup beavers would give to mitchell for agreeing to the plan. >> so mr. mitchell expected some type of payment, more than two ramen noodles, and he refused and that's when the fight broke out. >> either way, the practice is a violation of jail rules. >> lean over and blink. >> [ bleep ]. >> both beefers and mitchell will soon admit with disciplinary officer hale who will determine how much time they will each get in segregation. a solitary confinement unit where, among other things, they're locked in their cells 23 hours per day. >> they're not allowed visits,

they're not allowed to go to the gym, they're not allowed to have books. the only thing they can have is legal material that pertains to their case. >> most inmates don't like to fight. but some relish the violence. >> i like to fight. >> are you good at it? >> fighting? i never been beat. call me the white tyson. >> brian voltz is currently serving six months for an act of violence. though the victim was anything but a heavyweight. he admits an argument with the mother of one of his sons got out of hand. but denies injuring her. still, he pled guilty to domestic abuse and returned to louisville metro once again. >> two, four, six, eight, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19 times he's been in jail.

you can pretty much say he's growing up inside of a cell. >> i started coming in this jail when i was 18. i've probably been back three times a year, four times a year. sometimes more, sometimes less. >> voltz, who has also served two terms in state prison for robbery and assault, says the recent car accident that has forced him to walk with a cane hasn't slowed him down. >> what don't kill you makes you stronger. >> can you still fight like this? >> last guy i whooped was on my cane. so yeah. still fighting. and i don't use it as a weapon either. i throw it to the side. put my hands up. i'm the predator, not the prey. do the eating, i don't get ate. but i don't have nobody no more. it was a teenage thing. a lot of cos will tell you i done calm down a whole lot. so i've been the inmate before with the buck wild mentality, not caring for nothing, not

knowing the code, know what i'm saying, i've been there, dude. >> now at age 33, voltz says he would like to begin a new chapter. he will soon be eligible for a work release program where he'll spend his nights in jail but can spend days in preapproved locations, such as the louisville tattoo studio he owns with a friend. >> whatever i do, i'm going to have to do it on my own. or with my group. because i ain't going to be able to be accepted in the professional world. >> yeah, that's a question i have for you. coming up -- >> how did you get cutthroat? >> my nickname in the penitentiary. >> why is that? >> self-explanatory. >> brian voltz explains his ink. >> it was really a bully situation.

belongings, including letters from his daughter, were stolen by other inmates when he transferred cells. >> it's like living in hell. it's dirty. it's nasty. it stinks. i wouldn't let my dog live like this. i lost my phone privileges. i can't talk to my kids or my wife. the commissary's nothing. i'm not even depressed about that. $20 ain't nothing. but it's the point of my letters from my daughter. that's what gets me through. you know what i mean? i'm through, man. i won't talk no more. >> while segregation is hard on many inmates, diontray jackson now uses his time there to do what he does best -- build more muscle.

during his time in general population, jackson was known for his extreme workout methods and staying fit for the fight. >> people see a weak spot, you know, they come for you. got to use your hands. ain't no guns in here. >> and it was, in fact, a fight that landed jackson here. >> little altercation. you know. came out. nobody hit me. i hit them. >> you have to stay in shape and alert. because anything goes. i learned how to protect myself. >> though jackson stays in peak physical condition, he says he's as much a lover as he is a

fighter. >> these are my letters i got this morning, my love letters from my wife. she's always sending me beautiful encouragements, keep me motivated, keep my mind from being inside these walls. i love her to death. it's like her words are right here with me. of course, they always are when you love someone. i just got this one today. that's a beautiful card, too. it says, "in all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. in all the world, there is no love for you like mine." then it says, "i am thankful for all that has happened to bring us together. i know our love was meant to be." then she signed it. then i like this one the best, because it says, "hats off to you." i like that one the best,

because, you know, it touched me on the inside. then this one right here -- i didn't understand that one. i guess she was telling me to meditate before i punch people. >> keith reeves might not have thrown the first punch, but staff say he instigated a fight with ben thompson. >> you're gonna see inmate keith reeves right here come in and sit down at this table with his tray right here. and here comes inmate benjamin thompson. comes around and sits at the opposite seat. then that's when inmate reeves tries to take something off his tray. and there he points in his face, and then that's when the fight starts. >> if reeves can convince disciplinary officer hale that he did not instigate the fight, he could return to his dorm. if not, he could face up to 60 days in segregation.

>> i mean, now is the time to explain your situation, and i'm gonna tell you, don't lie to me, because i've already watched the tape, and i know what happened, okay? go ahead. >> we just started fighting. i feel like if i wanted to really fight him like that i'd have -- you know what i'm saying, caught him off the camera we'd have fought where i wouldn't have to deal with you all right now. >> when i watched the video, it showed me that you were trying to take his food from his tray. >> i was gonna move his tray out of my way 'cause he was sitting where i was sitting at. >> well, i mean, you sat down at a chair, and then he sat down at a chair. i mean, where did you want him to go to? >> right, but where he was sitting at is where i was sitting, 'cause he got to the table before i did. >> so you can't sit at that same table and eat? >> not if i'm sitting right there in the seat where he tried to take my seat. no, he's not gonna just sit in my seat. he can sit anywhere he wants on

the table. >> in the video, you come in, and you sit at a chair right here. you come around. you sit down. he comes around this way and sits in this chair, and it shows you looking at him. i guess you're saying something to him. and then he stands up, okay? >> right. i was telling him, "you'd better get out of my seat," or move his tray. >> but you were already sitting in a seat, and he was sitting on the opposite side of you. that's what i'm trying to explain to you. >> and then when you stand up and you reach and try to grab something off his tray and he blocks you, then you poke him in the face. so what i'm saying, there's five chairs at that table. and you were the only one at a table. i've watched the whole video, okay? >> i can watch the video? >> the video's for my use only. so, you admit to fighting, right? >> yeah. >> i can give you 60 days in disciplinary segregation for the write-up. if the other inmate wanted to,

he could have taken out assault ii charges against you for using that tray as a weapon during a fight. evidently, he didn't. being your first-time offense, i'm gonna give you 15 days. and this is your copy. you'll be moved to disciplinary segregation sometime today. all right, you're good. >> reeves, will you just switch out jumpsuits for me, man? i need the orange one back. and pack all your stuff up. i'm gonna move you. >> you got these young guys. some of them don't care. so they all get smart. you can see his demeanor was a little agitated. tried to lie a little bit, saying the guy was already sitting at his seat. so right there, he tried to lie his way out of it. >> damn! >> all right, step forward.

>> in this case, the surveillance footage not only revealed the truth. upon closer examination, it also revealed something about the binding properties of jail food. >> it's gonna take one, two hits, and then the food finally comes out. i would say more than likely that's either macaroni and cheese or it's scalloped potatoes, which they make them kind of thick so it sticks to the trays. i guess that's what they say. "if it sticks to the tray, it sticks to your ribs," and it keeps you fuller. i don't know. i've been eating it for 17 years. it ain't killed me yet, so i guess it's good. coming up -- >> it's not something you want to eat, but you've got to use your imagination with this. like i'm at ihop or something. >> jackson fantasizes about freedom while brian voltz take as significant step toward it. >> i love you, bro. >> i love you, too, boy. natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil.

while the louisville metro department of corrections jail must deal with overcrowded conditions on a near daily basis, several inmates have cells all to themselves. but most don't cherish the privacy. they are in segregation for a variety of disciplinary issues and have little to do all day but to look out the window. >> sometimes, i wish i was an eagle. i could fly over everything. my birds come up here in the morning time, wake me up, and that's one of my songs i wrote. ♪ the birds the birds have sung everything i've done ♪ ♪ i say the birds the birds have sung everything i've done ♪

them birds sing everything i've done. you know, in the morning, the first thing you hear is the birds, you know? and they wake you up, and they sing everything you do. you might not can understand what they're saying, but i do. >> diontray jackson copes in segregation better than many other inmates. perhaps it's due to an active imagination, even when it comes to jail food. >> oh, man! thank you. thank you very much. see, when you get room service, corn bread, rice. it's not something you want to eat but you've got to use your imagination with this. like i'm at i-hop or something.

o'charley's or something. you know, you got to make the best of the crap. mind over matter. you know what i'm talking about? mind over everything. >> soon after jackson's segregation time is complete, he will leave the jail altogether and serve the rest of his sentence in a home-incarceration program, where he will be back with the woman he loves. >> you got somebody as beautiful as her, it's like finding a diamond for the first time in your life. and i finally found my diamond. all the other ones was decoys, preparing me for the real thing, you know? so when you finally get somebody you really love, you got to take care of that person. >> while jackson feels lucky in love, brian voltz found himself locked up over it. though he denies harming the mother of his 2-year-old son, he is nearing the end of a six-month sentence for domestic abuse. >> we did have an argument. we did have a dispute. but it was never to the degree that it was made out to be. >> during his time in jail,

voltz has maintained a relationship with the woman he's accused of abusing. >> i need her to put money on my books. i need her to bring my child to see me. i need her to do things. >> but soon voltz will be able to do more for himself. he is about to transfer from the main jail to a work-release facility, where he can spend his days back at his tattoo shop. >> jailhouse business card. you feel me? body tags tattoos. i make jailhouse business cards and pass out my information. everybody in here can tell you where my shop is. buy one, get one free for everybody in here. >> is that right? >> yeah. >> that's what's up. >> nine times out of ten, when people get out of here, they're gonna come see me to get a tattoo. i mean, plus, i got a lifetime warranty on the work. >> right there. >> put it right there? >> yeah. >> on the shoulder blade? >> that's where i want it to go. it don't go well with the bullet wounds in the front. >> that'll be good on your back. >> voltz! you're on the move list.

let's pack it up. okay, you're going to ccc. >> all right. >> ccc. letting him through. >> love you, brother. >> love you, too, boy. >> reach out. >> for sure. i'm gonna catch up with you, man. all right. all right. >> voltz is transported two miles away to the jail's community corrections center, or ccc. >> how you doing? you miss me? >> did you miss us? >> hell, yeah. >> obviously, you came back. >> i couldn't wait to get back. >> the facility is not unlike the jail dorm voltz has just left. he will sleep here at night, but get to wear civilian clothing and go to preapproved locations

during the day, such as his shop, or out for medical treatments. but some things here are all too familiar to the jail he just left. >> overcrowded. it's real overcrowded in jefferson county. keep people locked up for bull[bleep] this is what you get. every bunk in here filled up. you get people on the floor, on the boats. causes for high tension, and that's where a whole lot of aggression and aggravations come from. you know what i'm saying? but at the same time, it's a whole lot better. >> coming up -- back to the streets. i got my swag back. >> brian voltz is back slinging ink. >> bop! >> oh! >> and back with the woman who filed charges against him for domestic abuse. one. then smash it into a tree. your insurance company's all too happy to raise your rates. maybe you should've done a little more research on them.

for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. it's tough, but i've managed. crohn's disease. but managing my symptoms was all i was doing. so when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections,

or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

except for trips to or from

court, inmates at the louisville metro department of corrections jail rarely spend time outdoors. >> these guys get very little access to outside, to fresh air or anything like that. there are little windows in their housing areas or in their cells, like on the single cells. that's what they get. that's what they see. >> diontray jackson is about to step outside for the first time in three months. >> so what's the first thing you're going to do when you get home? >> take a hot bath, eat real good, then make long love. that's it. then sleep like a baby with the music on. >> jackson will also exchange his jail-issued scrubs for the clothes he was wearing when he was booked into louisville metro. a few days earlier, his judge allowed him to finish his sentence under home

incarceration as long as he agrees to participate in a drug rehabilitation program. but before he leaves, he must be fitted with a special ankle bracelet. >> all right, take your shoes off. >> where are your shoes? >> i gave them away. that's what we do when we leave jail. we leave someone else our shoes. that's just tradition. >> you can take a bath in these things, okay? >> mm-hmm. >> completely waterproof. h.i.p.'s pretty simple. we got three rules, okay? no drinking, no drugs, and stay in the house. okay? if you go outside the house, this ankle's gonna tell us, okay, and we're gonna be up at your house, finding out what's going on, all right? follow your schedule, okay? if you got a job where you leave at 9:00, be back at 5:00. make sure you follow that schedule, okay? if you don't follow that schedule, it's gonna send an alert to us, and we're gonna call you and find out where

you're at, okay? >> all right. >> so make sure you do not leave your house without permission or without a schedule, okay? >> okay. >> you got any questions? >> mnh-mnh. >> all right. let's get you out of here then. >> diontray, you've got to tell me how you're feeling right now. >> i'm feeling good -- good to be free. you know, get to go home, see my kids, get some money, you know, make love. yes! yeah, i mean, it's hot as a mother[bleep] out here. you can tell i got locked up in the wintertime. >> brian voltz is spending more time outdoors, as well, now that he's qualified for the jail's work-release program. >> i'm back to the streets.

i got my swag back. i mean, it just makes you feel less captive, less like an animal. you know what i'm saying? >> voltz still spends his nights incarcerated, but is free to leave during the day to go to work at his louisville tattoo studio. this is body tags. this is my heart and soul. >> hey. >> you ready? >> i'm ready. >> what's up? this is what i love doing. i love tattooing. i love the fact that, you know, we got our shop going, and it is what it is. tattooing's like riding a bike. i mean, it comes back naturally. you know what i'm saying? i've been tattooing probably an average of three people a day, so i'm doing all right. bop! >> oh! >> you know you got the lifetime

warranty, too? >> i better have one. >> though voltz's professional life is back on track, he still has some personal relationships that require attention. >> that's my baby. >> alicia ross is the mother of voltz's 2-year-old son, brian ii, or deuce. she is also the victim of his last criminal act -- domestic abuse. >> he had a physical altercation with me, and it just landed him in jail. but it's a blessing in disguise, because now he can't experiment with nothing, except for tattoos. and he's sober, and he's happy. i mean, i got the man that i met back, you know? >> though he's working on the relationship, voltz still claims the police report was exaggerated. >> let the police report tell it, i beat her, threw her into a wall, and all that [bleep]. is that the truth? no. i never beat her. i never threw her into the wall. i never did none of that. >> but voltz admits he has been violent in the past. >> we have had altercations. i have put my hands on her open-handed, smacked her, or pushed her around or whatever. but no, it was never like to the extent that she said. deuce! >> whatever the couple's differences may be, they share a common motivation for working them out. >> what are you doing? give me a kiss.

a first time inhate says he must turn to violence to avoid being a victim. >> i was trying to keep them from ganging up on me. >> patrick le sullivan wanted to kill his victim and an
