known for its historic neighborhoods, cobblestone streets and oak shaded public squares, welcome millions of tourists each year. anyone arrested in savannah will likely spend time in the chatham county detention center. most of the 1,500 inmates here are only charged with crimes and are awaiting trial at the resolution of their cases. no matter what neighborhood they come from on the streets, this one here they most try to avoid once they arrive. >> unit 2 is our disciplinary unit. inmates typically arrive at that unit because they cannot follow rules and regulations. they have problems outside obviously doing it. >> the segregation unit consists of two sections, disciplinary segregation where inmates serve short sentences for specific rule violations and administrative segregation or long term segregation. for inmates considered too dangerous or troublesome to be housed around others.

inmates in both areas wear orange jump suits instead of the green worn in general population. they are housed in single man cells and are only allowed out for one hour per day during which they must be handcuffed and shackled. charles shepherd says the rule violations that landed him in segregation are about as minor as they get. >> i got in trouble for giving a guy some envelopes. i accidentally stepped into there. i meant to go in there but i went inside of his cell to give them to him and that is against the rules. they locked me up and gave me 20 days. i should be out in about eight days. >> they are not allowed to pass anything of any sort. not knowing whether there's gang activity in here, you prevent that by not letting them pass any messages that they could be using to take care of some business on the outside. >> you are not allowed to give anybody anything technically. it is crazy. it's like juvenile. >> you didn't do anything? >> no. i do got a mouth on me. >> shepherd admits he did argue with the officer who wrote him up. >> what did you say?

>> all kinds of stuff. i don't even remember. i know i cussed him out and it wasn't good. >> shepard was written up for being in an unauthorized area refusing to obey an order, obstruction and disorderly conduct. he spent time in segregation a month prior for getting too close to the officer's desk in his former housing unit. he thinks the jail made too much of both incidents. >> they reprimand you for it and try to lock you down. it's petty to give a guy some envelopes he is getting ready to go to prison. i was trying to help him out. >> shepard was arrested one month earlier, and has pled not guilty to aggravated assault, aggravated battery and armed robbery. he allegedly beat a homeless man with a shovel and stole $7 and a pack of cigarettes. >> there was a homeless guy, he said something slick to me and i said something slick back to him. he swung on me so i swung on him.

he picked up a shovel and tried to attack me with it. i took it from him and beat him up with it. i defended myself. i didn't rob him and didn't take no money, i didn't take nothing from him. >> you beat him with a shovel? >> yes. >> although shepard says he acted in self-defense, prosecutors believe he was the aggress are. he faces a maximum of 60 years in prison if convicted, a sentence shepard believes would put him behind bars for life. >> i'm probably not getting out again. if i go to trial and get found guilty it's over with. i am definitely mentally capable of doing the rest of my life. i don't want to. >> shepard says he has already spent almost half his life incarcerated in several different states and just completed a seven-year sentence in oklahoma for attempted robbery. he says there is one benefit to doing so much time in prison. >> i dealt with a lot of different lifestyles. a lot of different races of people. i can connect with people

easier. when you understand somebody it is easier to talk to somebody. >> you heard me when i cursed yesterday? >> i don't pay attention to what is going on. >> they look at me like i'm crazy. >> we are crazy. >> i'm not crazy. >> how many times you been in jail? exactly. you ain't right in the head anyway. we got to be crazy, we keep coming back. >> shepard's fellow segregation inmate, javier elijah, says he doesn't usually talk to anyone during his hour of rec time. >> some folks act homophobic. they have so much [ bleep ] to talk. it is good they stay their distance. >> why is that? >> because i'm going to bash one in the head. i'm going to grab their private

parts or do something that makes them feel real bitchified. if i have to beat your ass it's because you are calling me names, and i'm going to grab something that i like since you kept calling me them names. that's what [ bleep ] do. this is what punks do. i'm going to grab you. >> elijah says he projects toughness in jail but focuses on a different side when he's back home. he performs in local clubs as a drag queen named shamia. >> that's my gay stage name when i perform, like when i transform not being a man and i transform into a woman that's my name, shamia. i lip sing. i can sing out loud. i have no d cuts when i dress up and perform, and then i can be shamia. it's as simple as that.

>> my name is still chuck. [ laughter ] >> you don't transform? >> sometimes but not like that. i can either be violent or nonviolent. >> unlike shepard, elijah came to jail on 11 nonviolent charges, including theft, first degree forgery, and possession of marijuana. though he says he is innocent of charges and was only hanging with the wrong crowd, he recently accepted a deal where he pled guilty to ten of the 11 charges and was sentenced to six years in prison. during the three months he's been in the jail, he's received four write-ups. staff members say he's proven himself to be one of the more difficult inmates in the facility. >> disruption, disruption of programs, disregard for rules and regulations. >> throughout the day he is not a problem until he doesn't get his way. he feels like he wants to move somewhere or something is annoying him that is usually when he acts out.

>> elijah's primary way of acting out has been to intentionally flood his cell by clogging the toilet and flushing it until it overflows. >> since i got here i flooded the toilet and went to the hole. and i flooded again while i was in the hole, and plus breaking the sprinkler. >> elijah has broken several fire sprinkler heads in the cells. of course once they break them, it creates a lot of problems for us because we have to shut the main water systems down. >> it is hard to get a supervisor in here to talk to unless you do something stupid like i do. so i just stopped asking the officer to call the corporal or sergeant. i just flood and bust sprinklers then they have to come. >> that's his way of manipulation the system to get what he wants. he wants 15 blankets and three trays at every meal. >> elijah attributes much of his acting out to feeling out of place as a homosexual. >> jail is weird. if there ain't another

homosexual in there they can relate to, i don't feel comfortable. so i have a problem adjusting. >> elijah is no stranger to georgia's justice system. he has served two prior prison sentences for robbery and burglary and says he prefers prison to jail. it is great in prison for homosexuals because we get a lot more privileges, and we have more of our kind that's there. >> you want to go to prison? >> i don't want to go, but i know i'm going to have to go, so i want to go to get the hell away from here so i ain't got to sit in here. this is a drag, actually. . i don't like chatham county jail. i wish it would blow up. coming up, javier elijah continues to take out his frustrations on staff. >> let's see to that so i took my socks off and put it in the toilet and i flooded it. >> one officer in particular. >> he put a piece of metal pipe

in his sock that had my name on it. build a beautiful website with squarespace. choose, choose, choose. but at bedtime? ...why settle for this? enter sleep number... right now all beds are on sale. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. you like the bed soft. he's more hardcore. so your sleep goes from good to great to wow! only at a sleep number store. time is now for the biggest sale of the year, where all beds are on sale. save 50% on the labor day limited edition bed. know better sleep with sleep number.

detention center in savannah, georgia, most of the inmates that end up in the jail's segregation units do not get there by choice. but de'andre sanders says his most recent stay is here by design. >> i did it on purpose. i acted out. officer came in and i cussed him out and told him [ bleep ] off and mind your business. >> sanders says he had grown tired of the rowdy atmosphere in his former jenn population unit. >> the officers wasn't punishing people accordingly and saying like punishing the whole dorm together. i've been doing time since i was 13. i can't really do time in a place like that, so i acted out.

ins insub ordination. but i guess you got to face consequences. >> the consequences for sanders were steep. this is his 94th day in administrative segregation. >> i expected to do my 20 days and go to another dorm but maybe because of my past. >> some of sanders' rule violations include disorderly conduct, obstructing and threatening an officer, and fighting. >> inmate sanders received his ninth inmate disciplinary report. after that, because of constant rule violations, once they did a review they decided to put him into administrative segregation. >> explain some stuff you did in the past. >> like fighting. fighting real bad, just like free picking, just on the scrub people like that can't stand up for them selves, just to be seen by my peers, you know what i'm saying? . >> sanders was arrested nine months earlier on charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm after allegedly robbing a liquor store with two other men.

although he denies involvement in the crime and has pled not guilty, sanders says he was staying with one of the suspects when police raided the home and arrested them both. >> i guess they found a gun in the house. he was like you know anything about a gun? i told them the truth. i'm like i know about guns. i like guns. i got a fittic fetish with them. they are like what about this gun here and never showed me a gun and asked me about a similar gun. i know about a gun like that. they said did you touch it? i said i touched many guns. they got me by saying i touch guns. not even a gun that they found. just saying i touch them got me in this situation. i didn't think before i speak. they say the truth will set you free, not in cheatham county. >> sanders says his three months in ad seg have made him reflect on the life he's lived. >> i learned a lot in savannah. you are the company you keep. if i want to be a genius, i surround myself around geniuses.

if i want to be a bad guy i surround myself around bad guys. whatever road you choose. you choose the yellow brick road, that's fine. you choose that black road you better get a flashlight with some big batteries because it's going to be a long road. you only think about that when you get in places like this and you got 23 hours a day to think about it. it's not too late, it's never too late. >> sanders hopes jail staff will agree with that sentiment. he's requested a transfer back to general population. he believes if granted he will avoid the problems he has had in the past. >> i have to change. something got to be different. something got to change. >> change doesn't seem to be on the mind of javier elijah. he has just been moved from administrative segregation unit to the more restrictives disciplinary segregation unit or unit 2 d for repeatedly flooding

his cell by stuffing his toilet with rags and flushing it over and over. elijah says it started with a simple request to change cells. >> i was housed around a tv. i don't like sports. they leave it on all night and it be too loud and it disturbed my sleep. so i asked to be moved. >> it was a legitimate request. we had him relocated to room 29. which is the farthest point away from the tv. elijah later on that evening when i came in brought up he didn't want to be there because it was still too noisy. >> it wasn't too loud once they moved me from downstairs it wasn't too loud. it was actually okay. it was just that the room was nasty and i didn't get a chance to clean it and it had hair all over the room. so i asked to move. they wouldn't move me. >> javier wants what he wants right then. he will make it impossible like i want to move now. he can't get moved right now. if he has a need or a concern, we try to address it.

but if he is saying i want to be relocated now and you have chow going on and not right now, mr. elijah, you can't get that now. you explain that to him in no uncertain terms, and he's going to act out. >> i say okay then i'll see to that so i took my socks off and put it in the toilet and flooded it. >> elijah did more than just flood his cell. he removed a portion of the sink pipe and put it in a sock to be used as a weapon. he says his intended target was corporal key. why did you want to hurt this guy? why did you want to attack him? >> he lied too much. he lie on you. he don't deserve to be a corporal. and i just don't like his ass. >> we discovered he put a piece of metal pipe sink in a sock and it had my name on it so to speak. which is he had intended to bring harm to me. evidently i was the ire of his

frustration and anger that day. many other times it had been somebody else. it all depends on who don't give him the attention when he feels he needs it. it will be somebody else next week perhaps. >> you consider yourself a dangerous person? >> no. >> a dangerous inmate? >> i'm not dangerous at all. i won't hurt a fly. >> you said you were going to hit -- >> i hurt him if he pisseded me off. i will hurt him if he misses me off. but honest and true i was aggravated. i wouldn't have hit him. >> you don't think you would have hit him? >> unh-uh, but it got what i wanted. they brought me over here. >> elijah received 15 days of disciplinary lockdown and loss of privileges. like administrative segregation, he will receive only one hour out of his cell per day. but while he's in disciplinary lockdown he won't be able to place commissary orders and make phone calls. but elijah said it doesn't

matter now that his court case has been resolved. he is awaiting transfer to prison to begin a six-year sentence and says the remaining time at the jail will be memorable. >> now that i've been to court i'm going to cause them hell until i get out of here, which means i'll take a few days off and then go back to work. that means i'll be good this amount of days and then go back to being bad this amount of days. >> you have the days mapped out? >> yes. i have three on, two off. >> what happens tomorrow? >> flood the toilet. might pop a sprinkler. depends on how the weather is outside. >> why does that play into it? >> if it's cold outside i'm not going to be soaked in the water. i'm just passing time basically to get it all over with. >> coming up -- de'andre sanders gets another shot in general population. >> everything they ask me to do i'm going to do it. i'm going to respect -- because

>> where is he going in charlie? >> he is going into the bubble, the segregated area. >> the bubble, as it's known in the jail, is the most restrictive section of the facility. >> i was perfectly fine in my own damned zone. i see [ bleep ] in return. >> the four cells within the bubble have another feature that make it a good fit for elijah. instead of the porcelain sinks with exposed metal piping found in most cells, the sinks in the bubble are stainless steel. >> that stuff can always be destroyed, whether it's chipping bowls or sprinkler heads or whatever, but there'll be less stuff for him to destroy and less of a weapon to use on an officer like a piece of a metal sink or a pipe. >> but elijah disagrees and would barely discuss the matter. >> i'm mad. >> why is that? >> because they shouldn't move me. >> it seems like you want to be in control of where you are at.

>> sanders says his monthly free haircut from inmate barber brandan wright at least provides a smallest cape. >> why is everybody yelling in here? >> [ bleep ]. >> nobody really likes being stuck behind that door. >> that's how i have been tested, dealing with them. >> you don't care about the next man. everybody gets punished for their actions. everybody gets punished. that's why we go the first time because i didn't want to be in the dorm like that. seem like they want to test me. i'm going to fight for it though. i ain't going to let it bother me. just go with the flow. >> sometimes the unit gets so loud and unruly that officers are left with no other option but lock everyone in their cells. >> gentlemen, i need you all to go to lockdown right now. >> hell no! >> lockdown now. >> got a low tolerance for ignorance.

detention center in savannah, georgia, de'andre sanders had been trying to stay out of trouble in general population after spending three months in the administrative segregation unit. >> ain't going to be no problem with staff. i'm going to stay out of their way. everything they ask me to do i will do it. i ain't going back in orange. >> but now sanders is back in orange. >> i came over here about two hour ago back in admin seg for the duration of my time. >> what are you written up for? >> the small stuff like getting in the shower and not getting out of the shower on time. failure to follow. being on the phone and somebody throwing a temper tantrum, and i don't get off the phone in time for them. i comply but not fast enough for them so they'll write me up. >> sanders was written up three times in one month for failure to comply, disorderly conduct and disregard for house rules. after his third write-up, staff

decided to put sanders back in administrative segregation. >> this is this 13th time this year, so he is here probably for the remainder of his time in the county jail given his continuous violation of the rules. >> i got adapted to the dorm. they up and riled up all day and gamble. so i'm like i'm going to go ahead and fit in and get in the mix. i guess i fell into a trap. like i'm going to fit in with everybody else. >> sanders says he is better off in segregation. >> i just sit down and be in the room looking at walls and i got knowledge around me and i got law work and i got time to sit down and think about decisions i made in life and what i'm going to do to make it better, you know what i'm saying? it betters my mind frame. i can say it matured me as a man because i think about the better

things in life and the best way to go. got a couple of pals back here that have been waiting on me to come back. >> i pray for self-control, self-discipline, patience really. try to live life the right way. try to see what i did wrong the last time. try to come up with a plan for when i get out. that's how people go wrong, they don't have a plan. you get out a half step and you're going to come back. so i guess it's meant for me to be in here. >> sanders may have been transferred out of general population just in time. the troublesome housing unit he came from has erupted in violence. >> officers have responded to a fight that started in rec yard and has spilled into the unit. one of the combatants is charles shepard, who only recently returned from segregation to general population.

>> let's go! >> right now! >> somebody about to kill somebody. somebody is about to kill somebody [ bleep ]! >> officers identify john doyle as one of the other inmates involved. he is in jail on charges of theft and burglary to which he has pled not guilty. in order to control the situation, he and shepard are removed from the unit and placed in holding cells. >> [ bleep ] kill you boy, [ bleep ] kill you, i promise. >> in the surveillance footage of 9 rec yard, shepard can be seen striking doyle in the head with a plastic drinking cup. >> went to play basketball, he was going hey, bitch, when i turned around, he hit me with the cup.

i grabbed him and.ed him off me. we tussled for a minute. they say somebody else got involved in it. i don't know because i was kind of dizzy. he broke a cup on my head. i wasn't expecting that at all. if i would, i would have had a little more prepared and i wouldn't have gotten hit with no brown cup. >> the broken cup was retrieved from the rec yard. >> pretty solid, right? >> it's pretty solid. he can throw it at the wall and it won't break. just imagine hitting somebody in the head and it breaks. i don't know if i hit him or not. i'm so damned dizzy. >> doyle can be seen striking shepard along with two other men who joined the fight. it started in the rec yard but shepard can be seen running after doyle into the day area. >> he tried to hit me again. went back in the rec yard and closed the door. the officers came in and took care of the rest. >> if you roll the cameras back far enough right after we were done eating they all came in. they wouldn't come in there the

toilet water off the floors of four cells in the section of the jail known as the bubble. the inmate who caused the flood is a familiar face to the cleanup crew. >> i'm trying to sleep right now. >> they're tired of me. probably going to poison my food. >> javier elijah has intentionally clogged his toilet, causing a flood so severe, the water filled the cells adjacent to his. >> one is flooded right now. it can actually leak over into each of the rooms here. >> officers have decided to keep elijah in his cell and make him mop up the water himself. >> i want him to clean up his mess. he'll think about it a second time. if somebody else does everything for them, then they have nothing to lose. he decided to give him a mop, clean up his room and work with him that way. >> they're not allowed to have buckets because they can try to take them apart. so he gets to mop, pushes the water out.

space. he says something. but i ask him to be quiet, like i wake up and be like, man, be quiet. [ bleep ] go to sleep. okay. i was tired of it. you call me [ bleep ] one too many times and i can't get to you. i have to flood you out. now they got my water cut off. your water got to be cut off. you're going to smell your own [ bleep ], too, if i have to smell mine. >> when i first got there, they were exchanging profanities toward each other, so we took his socks because he likes to shove those down the toilet and flushed it. this time he stuck his arm down the toilet to flood his cell. if he complains about anything being nasty, it can't be that bad because he stuck his arm tune the toilet until we shut the water off. >> i want to beat him up. >> sergeant says he doesn't take elijah's threats of violence

very seriously. >> he wants the attention and talks to be a bad person i'm going to do this and that but it is more of a show. he wants to be the spotlight. >> he is probably bored. if you are in your cell 23 hours day, you're going to get sick of twiddling your thumbs. excitement makes time fly. if he causes a problem, he just spent three or four hours of his day doing it. i can understand that him causing a problem to kill time in jail. >> is your floor good enough? >> no. >> how much more you got left? >> not that much. >> we are not here to punish him but here to keep them safe until they go somewhere else. we want to make sure we talk to them, get that rapport. some like to find an individual to get close to and respect. try to listen to them, and that is what i try to do. >> elijah says the sergeant's efforts are appreciated. >> if he would have came in a little earlier, i honestly wouldn't have done any of that. we have a good sergeant in our unit. i really don't disrespect him but i know he feels disrespected. i didn't know he was going to be here today. i wouldn't have done it if he was here. i know he would have done what he had to do.

he would have handled his job. he isn't a bad monkey sergeant like a lot of supervisors is. he actually do his job. >> you understand flooding, doing all this affects the sergeant, right? >> he ain't got nothing to do right now. it's the weekend. he ain't got too much to do. it's the weekend. they ain't got to do nothing. ain't like nobody transferring. pass out three meals a day and sit on their ass, and talk and eat doughnuts in the hub. they ain't got nothing to do on the weekend. >> don't shake your head. i cleaned it up today. >> he said he has been in the system since a young kid. this is all he knows. there's just some you can't cure them and it's part of our job. >> elijah is waiting to be transferred to prison to serve a six-year sentence. staff says they are doing all they can to expedite the process and get elijah out of the jail. >> i think it's a good possibility of getting him out of here. i already spoke to his attorney and he's done with his charges

here. they just have to come pick him up. >> you are trying to get him out of the jail. >> yes. i do everything i can for these guys, make calls, because it gets rid of a problem. >> until they get me away from here, i'm going to keep doing it anyway. i will get in them restraints and they can leave me in it and keep me in it. and i'm still going to do it.
