♪ wichita, kansas, and surrounding sedgwick county take pride in their wild west roots. lawmen like wyatt earp spend time here, as did billy the kid. but in the modern age, billy's gang would be seriously outgunned. >> we're at a crossroads in the middle of the country. you know, we're getting not just the west coast gangs like the crips, the bloods, the upper midwest gangs, chicago, milwaukee, east coast stuff. it's all coming through here. >> in 2007, a lieutenant put a major dent in the area's gang population. he led a task force that landed dozens of gang members in federal prison.

>> dean says today, however, he's a different sort of leader. >> proverbs say whoever loves instruction, loves knowledge. but he who hates correction is stupid. >> that's right. >> you gotta want to get it together. man, you can't keep doing the same thing. you know i had a name out there. you know? my name is still thriving negative light. i'm trying to change that now. i want my name to thrive in some light, not no dark, you know? >> i came back this time, it was marquel. he said, do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail? it was stuff i needed to hear. he started helping me out. >> i hate being called c-3, i hate that with a passion. i laid my flag down on my own. i confessed it out my mouth that i'm not gang banging no more. i'm through banging.

>> whoever come up to me, c-3, no, i'm not c-3 no more. i'm marquel. ♪ >> dean regularly attends church services in the chapel. >> marquel, i've known him for quite a while. he's a pretty wild kid, addicted to gang banging. when i first saw him, i knew he was a preacher. i knew he was from the first time i saw him. i believe god's going to give him favor. >> dean's past is very much a part of his present and could haunt him for the rest of his life. two years earlier, dean was on the wichita pd's ten most wanted gang members list. at the time, he was an active member of the crips. with pay -- a history of violent convictions including multiple

counts of aggravated assault and battery. >> they felt i had a lot to do with a lot that was going on, and i was only on the run for failing to register. >> dean had gone into hiding after a warrant was issued when he failed to register as a violent offender, a requirement for those with violent convictions in the state of kansas. he says he made it to california, where he began to re-evaluate his life. >> i started to see life for what it really was. i'm seeing, i ain't getting no younger. you know, i got my kids out here. i was really feeling a whole lot of guilt. you know, feeling worthless and feeling stupid for real. i had a revelation of god's majesty. i'm sitting there, and i'm talking about i just had an unexplainable state of peace overtake me. >> but one year later, dean was overtaken by u.s. marshals who arrested him in texas and returned him to wichita. dean received a 20-year prison sentence for theft, assaulting a police officer, and seven counts of failure to register as a

violent offender. >> i was just settling into the fact i'm in prison, let me get my routine together and start knocking out this time, you know. i was sitting in my cell one day, and they came to me with a detainer paper. >> dean was handed charges on a new case, a murder that occurred during the time he was on the run. he has pled not guilty. >> i couldn't believe it. i couldn't -- i could not believe it. i'm like, whoa. >> according to authorities, a shooting erupted between rival gangs at a warehouse party. five people were shot. and one of them, 27-year-old james gary, was killed. >> evidently they accusing me of shooting somebody. it ain't a lot that couldn't go on that my name wasn't brought up in. >> were you at the party? >> no. i don't want to -- no comment. i don't want to comment on that. >> do you know who killed james gary? >> no comment.

>> if convicted, dean could receive a second prison sentence, 50 years to life. gang members accused of violent crimes like dean are segregated in their own housing units. but they're not segregated from each other. >> you could have a pod that could have a handful of bloods, handful of crips, handful of surenos. you'll see some beefs they have in the street bleed over into here literally. fights will happen. >> row hagelio soto agrees. >> it's tough. they put the most violent people that you take out of society and put them in a pod and you expect them to be peaceful. that's not going to happen. >> we try to keep it that way, but there's certain people that don't know how to act. >> some here believe that includes soto himself.

surveillance cameras capture him in his housing unit, pouring hot coffee into a large cup. he takes a sip of the coffee and approaches a group of inmates, including danell hill, a member of a different gang, the bloods. soto suddenly throws the coffee in hill's face and pursues him with a barrage of punches. hill recovers enough from the surprise attack to back away, but soto is soon on him again. with hot coffee in his eyes and burns on his torso, hill tries to fight back, only to slip on spilled coffee. in these maximum security housing units, inmates are supervised by deputies in secured observation stations, who have now called for backup to restrain the inmates. one minute and 25 seconds after the start of the fight, a team

of deputies swarms the unit. the action is caught on a body camera worn by a sergeant. >> i had a taser out ready, in case he did not comply. a deputy took the suspect to the floor. he is complying at this time. >> hill is removed from the unit and escorted by the sergeant and sheriff's deputies to the jail's medical clinic. >> this stuff is burning. >> i know, we're going to clean you up. >> what's your name, sir? >> hill. danell hill. >> after medical staff provides initial treatment for his burns, hill is taken to a local hospital for observation. soto injured his thumb and wrist and had them wrapped. sergeant link attempted to find out the cause of the fight and was not surprised by the results. >> they all say, we don't know what happened. they don't want to talk. it's between the inmates, and no one will ever talk about it. ain't no such thing as a fair fight in here. everybody is going to have an

edge somehow, blindsiding them, throw coffee in their face. nothing is a fair fight. >> coming up, rogelio soto and danell hill speak out about the attack.

no jail, including wichita's sedgwick county jail, can guarantee a safe haven from violence. so with time on their hands, many inmates do all they can to maintain fitness, including jeremy honeycutt, who has not let being a double amputee slow him down. >> i do everything from play basketball to swim to fight, i do all kinds of stuff. usually because of my time i got in and because my street respect, my street cred and all that [ bleep ], people know typically not to mess with me.

[ laughter ] >> over the past 17 years, honeycutt has served time for robbery, theft, criminal threat, criminal discharge of a firearm, and criminal possession of a firearm. he's currently charged with theft and failure to register as a violent offender, to which he has pled not guilty. if convicted, his maximum sentence is nine years in prison. >> sounds kinda crazy saying this, but this is what i know. i mean, this is like what i call home. >> over the years, honeycutt has learned how to take care of himself as a disabled person behind bars. >> i've lived the way most of my life. you gotta be prepared for anything. when you're in a fight and you're the underdog, you gotta make sure to be the aggressor. in prison, anything can happen. they don't come with fists all the time. they come with knives. they come with locks, with pipes, and they don't fight fair.

so you want to get on it if it comes down to it. >> for inmates like honeycutt, the jail complies with standards set forth by the americans with disabilities act. >> they just have to be in a room that has a pole next to the toilet. they have to have a lowered mirror so they can see, and able to get on and off their chair, onto the toilet, use the sink and such. >> honeycutt says he lost his legs at age six. he was walking home from school with a couple of friends. >> the train tracks are right between my house and school. so we saw this train and we decided to jump. they didn't have no signs or nothing. so we jumped on the train, and i slipped. i fell. i woke up in the hospital, and my legs, they were gone. a lot of surgeries, a lot of learning to deal and cope with everything, going back to school, being made fun of. get into a lot of altercations with other kids and basically working myself up through the ranks. >> honeycutt said the spanish

disciples provided protection for him in school. he eventually became a member himself and discovered that his disability provided no exemption from gang violence. >> i got stabbed five times to my head with a flathead screw driver. this was sustained from that too. i got other wounds in the back of my head. i got stabbed 12 times in my back. it punctured a lung. i got a big chunk missing out of my stomach from where i was shot. they had to remove part of my stomach, and part of my large intestine. getting stabbed is worse than getting shot. i'd rather get shot than stabbed. [ laughter ] >> another gang member, danell hill, could now have a disability as well. he's recovering in the jail's medical clinic following an assault by rival gang member rogelio soto. >> the doctor said loss of vision, but other than that, everything's fine. >> two days earlier, surveillance cameras captured soto throwing hot coffee into

hill's face and unleashing a barrage of punches. with impaired vision and burns on his torso, hill had difficulty defending himself. deputies responded within 90 seconds, but the damage was done. >> break it up! >> this eye is swollen. this eye got a lot of coffee in it, and i got some second-degree burns on my neck and my chest area. it's part of the lifestyle. it's normal. i usually heal pretty fast. so, yeah, just a minor setback for a major comeback. >> 13 days earlier, hill was released from prison, where he was serving time for burglary. after seven days on the outside, he was arrested on a new charge of aggravated robbery, to which he has pled not guilty.

hill says he was in soto's housing unit for two days before the attack. >> i didn't know him. i've never seen him before. in a gang, things just happen sometimes. i don't know what it was for. comes with the lifestyle. i think that every day, this is going to be it. i don't know if i'm going to live to see the next day. some make it and some don't. >> hill receives daily treatment for his burns in the jail's medical clinic. >> feel good? >> yeah. you're just having fun now. >> stop it. i'm trying to clean it. if we don't clean it, it could get infected. >> i know that burn is going to take a long time and he's being really tough. he's acting like it doesn't hurt him at all. he's saying he doesn't care. he's tough. i don't know how he's doing it, but i couldn't. >> wow, it's a lot worse than i thought. >> how you doing? >> my burn's worse than you thought it was?

>> not the burns but just getting beat up and all. >> dr. boutros is the jail's medical director. >> did you pass out at all when this happened? >> no. >> it looks really bad, but the reality of it is, that's probably no worse than someone who goes out in the sun for a very long time and gets a really bad burn, and the first and second degree burns usually will heal without leaving a mark in most individuals. >> dr. boutros is more concerned with hill's right eye, which took the brunt of the hot coffee. >> out of your right eye, you can't see? >> it's all blurry. >> just open a little bit. >> he did have significant injury to his eye. without a microscope, you can see the burn on his eye. his eye is extremely dilated and it's not reacting very well right now. that's a result of the trauma from getting hit. >> can you see okay out of this eye? >> yeah. >> his left eye will heal fine. we're not concerned about it.

it's the eye that's he's having loss of vision in is the one that we're more concerned about. >> can you see light? >> i can see two of them. >> he's going to need close follow-up to make sure his eye heals appropriately and that we give him his best chances to have full function down the road. >> this doesn't even hurt? >> no. it's just a burn. >> despite his injuries, hill says he will not press charges against soto. >> can't tell. tell, that will follow you. pressing charges will get you in trouble. it's just the way it is. it comes with the lifestyle. >> what i know of that lifestyle, there's usually retaliation. >> could be. >> donnell hill. >> who? >> donnell hill. >> all right. >> you don't know the man you threw hot coffee on and beat up? >> no. [ laughter ]

no, as in i don't know him. >> following rules laid out by the surenos regarding media, soto agreed to speak with us, only in the presence of a senior gang member, who would monitor the interview to insure he would not reveal any confidential information about the surenos. the senior member requested annan on nimity. >> can you tell me why you'd walk up to a complete stranger and throw hot coffee on his face and beat him up? >> no, can't talk about that. >> why the hot coffee? >> i think we're still on the same subject. i don't think i -- >> why not just walk up and punch somebody? >> still no? >> just a misunderstanding. >> just, you know, jail stuff. it was a minor mis -- not minor, but a misunderstanding between two parties. >> but you don't know him. >> i was with him in the pod for

a couple days, i'm pretty sure. a few days. >> the district attorney could decide to file criminal charges against soto with or without hill's cooperation. jail officials have also given him 25 days in disciplinary detention, where he will spend up to 23 hours per day locked in a single-man cell and lose most privileges. this is the sixth time soto has been in detention during his time here. >> two for battery, two for ag battery, one for i guess advancing aggressively towards a deputy, which i think that one was b.s. >> six and a half years earlier, at age 16, soto attacked another rival gang member, but with fatal results. he stabbed a man 79 times and was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison for murder. soto has been transferred back to the jail in order to challenge that sentence under provisions of a new state sentencing law.

he doesn't believe his disciplinary record in jail should affect the outcome. >> i mean, fighting doesn't mean i'm going to kill somebody. there's a big difference between one and the other, i would think. >> coming up -- >> i see you got some ink on your stomach. can i see it? >> deputies take a hard look at rogelio soto. >> you take him downstairs. i'm going to toss his cell. >> and -- >> y'all got this thing in here that you not going to snitch on nobody. >> the pastor hits a nerve with marquel dean.

inside wichita sedgwick county jail -- ♪ >> -- church service is under way, and one inmate has volunteered to lead the prayer. >> put a word in our heart, dear lord, that would give us a different outlook on life. >> marquel dean, whom authorities describe as one of wichita's most powerful gang leaders, says he has left gang banging behind him.

>> in jesus name, amen. >> dean had recently been sentenced to 20 years in prison for theft, assaulting a police officer, and seven counts of failure to register as a violent offender. while in prison, he received a new charge of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting a man at a warehouse party. daep was transferred back to the sedgwick county jail to stand trial in the neighboring courthouse. eight years earlier, he faced a different murder charge, also for allegedly shooting a man at a party. >> nobody ever said i shot or did anything, you know. i guess since they just found out that a gang member was there, you know, they pinned it on me, but i sat in here for a whole year. >> man, he hit the ground, and the lord said, you just spun out of it! >> during that year, dean got to know pastor tina, who predicted what would happen with this case. >> because god sets you free.

>> yes, ma'am. >> i prayed for him, i laid hands on him, and the spirit of the lord said you will not do the time they're trying to give you. and service went on as usual. he prayed, cried, the whole nine yard, then sure enough, several months later, he got released. god let him go. >> she got word from god i was going to go home. i was sitting here not knowing if i was ever go to go home. that case ended up getting threw out, and i went home. >> if you stand up profess you belong to god, and go out the doors away from god, i guarantee you i'll see you back. because the devil going to do everything he can to bring you back into bondage. that what happens over and over and over until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired. >> after dean's release, he attended pastor tina's church on the outside and did some preaching there. >> marquel, one of my star students. god has always had his hand on this young man.

he just didn't know it. >> amen. >> but god began to speak in him, and god began to groom him and get him ready. and he did what he's supposed to do. he got out of here, and he came on to church and the pastor put him to work. he was at church. holy ghost moved in there so tough, tore the place up. and i think part of it scared him. because after you preached that sermon, you left the next week. but check this out, god knew he was going to do it. because before he left, what did the lord tell you? he told you that if you go back out there, the very thing he delivered you from, you gonna be ensnared by it again. >> yeah. >> did not the lord tell you the truth? >> yeah. lo and behold, you know what i'm saying, i fell back and the same thing, the street life. you know what i mean? the gang lifestyle. it got me.

>> though pastor tina predicted the dismissal of dean's earlier murder charge, she is less certain this time. >> marquel's on another journey. but this time, i believe he's going to sit a little minute because he didn't get it right the last time. >> dean says he's innocent this time as well, but he would never identify the real killer, even if he knew who it was. though he says he has shed gang life, he still cannot violate the long-standing code against snitching. pastor tina preaches that's a code whose time is up. >> i want to talk to you about that. because y'all got this thing in here that you're not going to snitch on nobody. you know what i'm saying? you come in here on a case, whatever the case may be. i'm just giving you a scenario. you all got into a situation. the situation got bad. your friend shot the dude, and because you with him, you come to jail. i'mma tell you all the time, we just can't gonna say, because i

don't want to be labelled as a snitch. you better be glad, praise god he saved me first. but if you shot him and i didn't, i'mma sing like a mockingbird. you better understand something, because while you so busy trying to hold it down, you fixing to go do 25 to life and probably the one that shot him is gonna get out in about four years. >> as far as snitching and telling, yeah, look, somebody killed my mom. i'm not fixing to tell on him. you hear me? i promise you. why do i need to bring somebody else down? >> justice. >> no. i don't know what -- for real, i don't even know what justice is. i know what just us is. because the system has been against me, justice been against me my whole life. you know? so i don't understand justice. >> but why shouldn't the person who killed james gary pay a price for that? go to prison for the rest of his life?

why not? >> god will work it all out, and they will have to deal with somebody eventually. coming up -- >> i could hear something going on in the bathroom. i look in. i really can't see anything because there's a curtain kind of half pulled. it sounds like they're fighting. >> the deputy reports a fight and says one of the combatants is jeremy honeycutt.

i'm dara brown. the trump administration is working on possible new guidelines for deporting criminal aliens. a memo calls for targeting them as a priority for removing and recommending hiring 10,000 i.c.e. officers and agents. president trump could do another round of interviews monday for the national security advisor role left vacant by the resignation of michael flynn. trump held several interviews sunday at mar-a-lago. now back to "lockup." >> announcer: due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised.

after rogelio soto threw coffee in the face of don knell hill, the staff has decided to update their intelligence files on him. when if comes to gang member easy, that usually comes to documenting tattoos. >> most gang members are proud of their tattoos. >> they could represent anything from which subset of the gang belongs to. >> he told us he was a south side sureno. then he has the ss tattoo on the back for south side, i'm guessing. but that's a 2009 picture, so who knows what he has? >> he's probably got updated since then. >> yeah. >> sergeant woodson and corporal simmons then pay a visit to soto's cell to see if he has acquired any new tattoos and if he will consent to having his

tattoos photographed. >> i see you got some ink on your stomach. can i see it? >> surement y. you want me to get up? >> yeah. >> how long have you had that? >> a while. >> okay. >> i've seen the stuff on your back. i just hadn't seen that. you want to tell me about it, or is it just art? >> just -- >> just art? >> mm-hmm, pretty much. >> okay. all right. no problem. >> sarge, is there any way we could get a picture of those? >> will you let me take a picture of your stomach? >> do i have a choice? >> yeah, you get a choice. >> i don't care. whatever you want to do. >> get dressed. i'll take you down there. >> throw your shirt on if you would. >> i was surprised. were you when he said, sure, you can go ahead and photograph my

tattoos? >> no, i wasn't surprised. most of the gang members are proud of their tattoos. a lot of them will just say yeah. then some of them will grin at you and say no when y. >> when you take him downstairs, i'm going to toss his cell. >> all right. >> while deputies photograph soto's tattoos in the booking area, corporal brown searches his cell for gang correspondence, weapons, or other contraband. >> when they searched the cell last time, they found a homemade weapon in a doritos bag underneath his desk. >> soto is serving 50 years to life in prison for the murder of a rival gang member. he has been transferred back to the jail in order to challenge that sentence under a new state sentencing law. according to authorities, he stabbed a man 79 times. soto still maintains his innocence. >> the main witness in my case, he said that everything happened

in under a minute. so that was about one or 1.5 times per second or something like that. that sounds to me a little outrageous to tell the truth, but i guess that's how the evidence put it. >> the crime occurred when soto was 16 years old. >> 50 years to life, so it's a mandatory minimum of 50 years before i can see the parole board. it was mostly just shock. i was kind of numb. i lost everything. my immediate family is still there, but all the other ones, i mean friends, a chance at life, maybe sometime having kids, to know what it's like to have a job, a family of your own. i mean i lost all that. >> is s soto did not testify at

trial and said he would not name the murderer even if he knew who it was. >> trying to defend yourself but not bringing other people down, you know? i didn't want to be put in that position. >> even if it meant the rest of your life in prison? >> i mean i'm still trying to fight that. i hope it doesn't mean that, but -- >> back at soto's cell, corporal brown's search turns up no contraband, but soto may still have problems to come. it's still too soon to know if he will be criminally charged for attacking hill in full view of jail surveillance cameras. but the cameras cannot see every part of the jail, and deputies say another gang member has just used that knowledge to assault an inmate. deputy brent, who was assigned to the unit, said she didn't see the fight but definitely heard it. >> i could hear something going in the bathroom. i look in. i really can't see anything because there's a curtain kind

of half pulled. it sounds like they're fighting. >> deputy brent ordered the men to stop and come out from behind the curtain. the gang member involved was double amputee jeremy honeycutt. he said that he and the other minute, who did not wish to be identified, were only arguing. >> just words. most of the time in here it's words. people fight with words. >> deputy brent asked both men if they were fighting. >> the other guy says they were. honeycutt denied it all. >> i didn't touch him. >> he didn't hit you? >> no, he did not. >> okay. and so what are you guys upset about? >> well, i had words with him. he had words for me. just talking [ bleep ]. he had words for everybody in the pod. >> honeycutt has done a lot of time in this facility, and he knows how to get around the system. >> as sergeant tucker reviews the surveillance footage, honeycutt is seen following the other inmate into the bathroom. >> we cannot film inside the bathroom because we cannot put

cameras on people when they're changing or going to the bathroom or anything like that. >> so theoretically if somebody was going to plan a fight, the best option to not get caught would be going to the bathroom? >> that's correct. >> i need you to put your initials right there saying you want the hearing. the bottom line there. >> sergeant tucker offers honeycutt 15 days in disciplinary detention for starting the fight, but honeycutt exercises his right to refuse and to defend himself in a hearing instead. though he risks more time in detention if the hearings officer determines he did start the fight. >> evidence spaebeaks for itsel and they don't have no evidence. i expect to be found not guilty on this one. i didn't do nothing, so -- >> coming up, marquel dean encounters an old addver sar i. >> your mama doing all right? >> i haven't seen her in a while.

inside the sedgwick county jail, housing units occupied predominantly by gang members are often hotbeds for sudden violence. but marquel dean is considered to be one of wichita's most notorious gang members. he says that's all in the past and his unit has been downright amiable. >> i got some meat and some hot chili and some these cooking over there on the hot pot. throw that all on here. >> dean combines snacks purchased from the jail commissary to make a platter of nachos. >> so you crunch them down, like a powder? >> not, not like a powder. they're just some big chunks. i just crunch them down a little bit smaller. >> i would call myself a foodie.

being in the jail, i've noticed that they take five, six simple ingredients, they put it together and make one meal, just like the nachos. >> this right here is gonna all come together. what you're about to see is some real, real nice come to fruition. a little bit of nothing is going to make something. you dig what i'm saying? >> just the things they can make and the time they spend with it shows their creative sides. >> y'all try it out, let me know what you think. hold on, hold on. >> in jail, dean says he knows how to interact with staff without being perceived as a snitch. >> even when you chew, it just set back like this. [ laughter ] >> we ain't going to be talking about no crimes or cases. we ain't fixing to get deep. of course they are -- you know,

i oppose them and everything, but at the same time, though, not fixing to starting no issue with the guards just because they a guard. that's stupid. that going to make my time hard. >> you take it easy, man. >> you too. >> this is a controlled environment. you know what i mean? out there, i don't gotta deal with them. in here, i gotta deal with them. so i'mma make my time as cool as can be. >> dean's cool is put to the test when he receives a visit from an old adversary. >> you remember me? i looked in here and i thought, man i know you. you're marquel, aren't you? >> yeah. >> how you doing? >> hanging tight. >> sheriff easter is the former wichita police lieutenant who headed a task force that put 50 gang members in federal prison and pursued cases against dozens more, including marquel dean. >> it's been a long time since i talked to you, probably when i was in the gang unit. >> he used to work the beat,

working the streets out there. that was the arch nemesis out there. man, it's awkward for real. he's one of them ones, you know -- yeah, i don't sit well with him. i don't hold no hate or nothing against him anymore, but it's just an uneasy feeling. can never lose that, i guess. >> they treating you all right in here? >> yeah, man, you know. >> it's jail. >> yeah. >> you know what i'm saying? i stay out of the way, you know what i mean? >> yeah. >> i stay out of their way. >> your mama doing all right? >> i haven't seen her in a while. >> my mom's working. >> mr. dean was a gang member at a very young age and had numerous interactions with him. got to know his mother through that time as well, had different interacts with her because of some of the things that marquel allegedly had done at the times we were looking for him.

your mama didn't know where you were, was worried which were going to do something to you when we found you. >> she was real worried, man. choices and decisions are made. >> moms will be that way, though. >> yeah, they will. i mean i can't blame her. >> forever. all right. good seeing you. good luck to you. >> like with most gang members, if you get them one-on-one, it's interactions like that. if you get with more than one of them, it's usually the bravado stuff and won't talk to you, or if they do have something to say, it's usually not very friendly. so it's all about respect. if you interact with folks like that in a respectful manner, they usually deal with you in kind. >> coming up -- >> no incident took place. no fight took place. i never touched him. he never touched me. >> jeremy honeycutt mounts a defense. and -- >> you going to serve him no matter where you are. >> yeah. >> that's an assignment upon

your life. >> marquel dean hears from pastor tina.

inside the sedgwick county jail, jeremy honeycutt has been placed on temporary lockdown because deputies say 24 hours earlier, he got into a fight with another inmate. he is about to have a hearing on the matter which could result in him being taken off lockdown immediately or spending up to 25 days on disciplinary detention. lieutenant walker, who will conduct the hearing, has just watched surveillance footage of the alleged fight, which occurred behind a bathroom curtain. >> it shows one of them gets up, goes into the bathroom. then mr. honeycutt follows in his wheelchair. then you can't quite see them fighting. you can see shoulders moving like punches being thrown, but the curtain's in the way. so you can't physically see it. but you can tell that, you know, like i said from the way the shoulderings a shoulders are moving that punches are being thrown.

>> honeycutt said he and the other inmate were only arguing and it never got fiphysical. >> it looked like they served you a notice for battery. >> no incident took place. no fight took place. i never touched him. he never touched me. >> well, basically the evidence is a review of the video shows that punches are being thrown by the shoulder movements that i can see. the deputy writes in her report that you guys were involved in a physical altercation from what she saw. >> she didn't see nothing. i mean regardless, you know, she was at the desk the whole time. the video should have clearly point that out. i didn't have no bruises. he didn't have no bruises. no physical altercation took place. verbal, yes. but physical, no. >> like i said, from the video

it shows both shoulders moving on both gentlemen like punches are being thrown. at the present time, based on the deputy's report, i'm going to go ahead and uphold the sanctions. all right. so 15 days from today would be december the 26th at 2:00 in the afternoon. and then since you're already in the best cell possible for you, i'm going to leave thryou there that was one of your questions. you got any questions? >> nah. >> honeycutt will be confined to his cell 23 hours per day and lose several other privileges. >> i just want to get it over with, you know, get back to my routine. >> y'all been trying to get it sideways. >> part of marquel dean's routine is attending church services with pastor tina. >> share this verse out of second timothy, chapter 2, verse 11. this is a faithful saying saying if we die with him, we shall

also live with him. >> pastor tina first took dean under her wing eight years earlier when he was in jail on a murder charge. she says she felt god planned to let dean walk free, and he did a year later when the charge was dismissed. >> he cannot deny himself. >> hallelujah. >> but now he's back facing another murder charge, though dean says regardless of how it turns out, he has given up gang life. >> this time i think he got it. i think he got it. the last time when he was here, he almost had it. this time, he found out there's nobody there but him and god. >> my mind is totally made up that i'm not going to gang bang no more. like that's it. it's over with, you know. all of that is over with. it ain't no if, ands, buts or maybes about that. >> i told you there's an enemy, and we have to constantly be aware there's an enemy. god is raising you up for such a time as this because the enemy is trying to snatch the young people. this place is full of young people with that -- with that

sick mind set. it's a sick mind set. >> there's a few of them around in the pod. >> yeah. >> babies. >> yes. you gonna serve him no matter where you are. >> yeah. >> and that's the assignment upon your life. >> my very ministry is around me right now. >> mm-hmm. >> you know, young -- some young fellows that's in the streets and gangs, you know what i'm saying? >> yeah. >> they're around me right now. sometimes i get so mad because i see myself in them. you know what i mean? i see what i used to be in them, and i be wanting to explain to them. but it's like -- it's almost look you can't do no talking to them. you know what i mean? i think about myself, it was hard to talk to me too. >> mm-hmm. >> that's one thing i've been praying about. lord, show me how to get through to them. >> dean is already serving a sentence of 20 years for theft, assaulting a police officer, and failure to register as a violent offender. if found guilty of murder, he could receive another 50 years to life. >> they're trying to throw the

book at him, and i understand that. but i don't feel he has to worry about it because he's going to go do some time. but i don't believe he's going to do all the time they're trying to give him. i think he's going to be okay if he stay the course and do what he's supposed to do. i think he'll be out before we know it. the pulpit is still open and waiting for you. >> amen. >> love you. >> love you too. >> precious father in the mighty name of jesus, praise we give you place and glory for this time. father, we honor you for this moment just to come before you.

due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. it just comes from my imagination. just whatever i imagine, i can put on the paper. >> an inmate with incredible artistic abilities is charged with a terrible and tragic crime. while another inmate's seeming obsession with jail food causes problems. >> he's hungry. he doesn't see anything but the food. whatever's in his way, he will try to go through to get to it. >> and -- >> we both kind of agreed on this open relationship type of deal. >> um-hum. >> sg.
