>> narrator: though san antonio texas might be remembered for the alamo, today, it's one of the fastest-growing cities in america. [ sirens ] but increased growth also brings increased problems. >> for the longest period, san antonio was known as a large city with a small-town mentality. san antonio is the 7th largest city in the nation and we are feeling the growing pains. nowhere are those growing pains more apparent than downtown in the solid brick fortress that is the bexar county jail. it's where anyone charged with criminal acts in san antonio with or the outlying area will surely spend some time.

>> my father always said nobody comes to jail for being nice. one thing we have to remember is people that come to jail have not been found guilty yet. >> most of the 3500 men and women held in bexar county are waiting for the resolution of their cases. others have been convicted, serving short sentences or awaiting transfer to prison. todd has been in and out of jails and prisons for the past 20 years. he's currently awaiting trial on charges of assault and vehicle theft, to which he has pled not guilty. >> you see the knots on my head. i have been cut with razors all right here. i mean i got cut with a knife when this dude put six razors in a toothbrush.

officer on duty at the time. the story seems to check out. >> couple of days ago. guys in cell number nine. there was never a report done on it or anything. >> because officers did not witness the earlier fight and sanchez made no mention of it or discussed his injuries with staff, no disciplinary report was filed, but several inmates said that sanchez was in fact in an earlier fight. lending credence to the claims of lomas and hernandez. all three inmates will be locked in single-man segregation cells for a cooling off period of at least 24 hours. >> place your hands on the top. don't move.
