due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. the gang member throws hot coffee in the face of a rival, leaving the man burned and possibly blind in one eye. losing both legs hasn't stopped another inmate from being part of a gang either. and one of wichita's most notorious gang leaders is back in jail, and this time he's got something to say.

wichita, kansas, and surrounding sedgwick county take pride in their wild west roots. law men like wyatt earp spend time here as did law breakers like billy the kid. but in the modern age, billy's gang would be seriously outgunned. >> we're at a cross roads in the middle of the country. we're getting not just the west coast gangs, like the crips, the bloods, surenos, the upper midwest gangs, chicago, milwaukee, east coast stuff, 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.

today he's the sheriff of sedgwick county. >> we did about a year and a half investigation, we were the lead agency on it, convicted about 50 crip gang members from distribution of cocaine, to rico, rico conspiracies, homicide, a whole plethora of things. eradicated the crip gang here, the largest gang we had. >> along with other duties, sheriff easter oversees the sedgwick county jail. most here are only accused of crimes and are awaiting trial and resolution of their cases. among them is a man regarded as wichita's most notorious gang leaders. markle dean is known on the streets by his gang name, c-3. >> he put fear in people's hearts. you put your head down when he walk by you. that was someone you don't look in the eye. >> that was someone that didn't play. >> he didn't play.

>> dean says today he's a different 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. you can't keep doing the same thing. you know i had a name out there. you know? my name still thrive in the negative light. i'm trying to change that now. i'm putting forth effort to change that. i want my name to thrive in some light, not no dark, you know? >> i came back this time, it was marquel. it wasn't c-3 no more. he said, do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail? he's 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. pretty wild kid. addicted to gang banging. when i saw him, i knew he was a preacher. i knew he was from the first time i saw him. even as bad as he was, what he was in there for. i believe got'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. but the history of violent convictions, including multiple counts of aggravated assault and aggravated 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. feeling worthless and feeling stupid, for real. i had a revelation of god's majesty. 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 20 years for theft, assaulting a police officer and seven counts of failing to register as a violent

offender. >> i was just settling into the fact i'm in prison, now let me get my routine together and start knocking out this time. 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 was 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. >> rogelio, a member of the surenos, 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 secured by deputies, who have now called for backup to restrain the inmates.

one minute and 35 seconds later, deputies swarm the unit. the action is caught on a body camera. >> break it up! >> i had a taser out ready, in case he did not comply. deputy took the suspect to the floor. he's complying at this time. '. >> hill is removed from the unit and escorted by the sheriff and 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 treatment for his burns, he's 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 the 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's dpoeg to going to have an edge somehow. blind siding them, throw coffee in their face, nothing is a fair fight. >> coming up, rogelio soto and danell hill speak out about the attack. hashtag stuffy nose. hashtag no sleep. hashtag mouthbreather. just put on a breathe right strip. it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right.

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 be the aggressor. they don't come with fists all the time. they come with knives, locks,

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 acts. >> 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. >> train tracks were ten my house and school. we saw this train and decided to jump. there were no signs or nothing. i jumped on the train, i slipped, i fell. i woke up in the hospital and my legs were gone. a lot of surgery, lot to cope with, getting made fun of, getting into altercations and 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 his disability provided no protection from violence. >> i got stabbed five times to my head with a flathead screw driver. this was from that too. i got stabbed 12 times in my back, it punctured a lung, that was from a rival gang member. i got a big chunk out of my stomach and large intestine. getting stabbed is worse than getting shot. it's searing. you feel that blade go in and out. 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 row 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. 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. but -- 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 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 burn, but just the -- getting beat up. >> dr. boutros is the jail's medical director. >> did you pass out at all? >> 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 his right eye which took the brunt of the coffee. >> 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, that's as a result of the trauma, from getting hit. >> can you see okay out of this eye? >> yeah. >> his left eye will heal fine.

he's seeing well out of it. we're not concerned about it. it's the eye that's he's having loss of vision in that we're 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 and that he has 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 assure he wouldn't reveal any confidential information about the surenos. he requested anonymity. >> 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 jail stuff. a minor -- 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 16 months here. >> two for battery, two for ag battery, one for advancing aggressively towards a deputy. i think that one was bs. >> six and a half years earlier, at age 16, soto attacked another gang member 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. >> and -- >> y'all got this thing in here that you not going to snitch on nobody. >> the pastor hits a nerve with marquel dean. wn the system. my password? yes, sir, we need your password. the password that i use? yes, sir, your password. there's been another breach! sir! right. okay. i-h-a... ...t-e-m-y-j-o-b-1. ihatemyjob1? wanna get away? now you can with southwest fares as low as 59 dollars one-way. yes to low fares with nothing to hide. that's transfarency. sfx: clap, clap, ding

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 failing to register as a violent offender. in prison, he received a new charge of first degree murder for allegedly shooting a man at a warehouse party. he was transferred back to 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.

>> 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 yards and then several months later, he got released. god let him go. >> she got a word from god that i was going to go home. i was sitting here not knowing if i was ever going home. that case got 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 will do everything he can to bring you back into bondage. that's 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. but god began to speak in him, and groom him, and get him ready. 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 preached at the 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. what did the lord tell you, he told you if you go back out there, the very thing he delivered you from, you gonna be ensnared by it again. >> yep. >> 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,

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 he's going to set a 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 that thing in here that you not gonna snitch on nobody. you know what i'm saying, both y'all on the case, whatever the case may be, i'm giving you a scenario. y'all got in a situation, situation went 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 why 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 them. 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 it's been the system been against me, justice been against me my whole life. 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 it, somebody, eventually. coming up -- >> i could hear something going on in the bathroom. i look in. i really can't see anything. there was a curtain half pulled. sounds like they're fighting. >> the deputy reports a fight and says one of the combatants is jeremy honeycutt. dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free.

after surenos gang member row giglio solo threw coffee in the face of danell hill, the staff decided to update their intelligence files on him. when it comes to gang members, that involves documenting tattoos. >> most are proud of their tattoos, it means something to them and their fellow gang members. >> they could represent anything, which sub set they belong to, to past criminal acts. today deputies will have a closer look at soto's ink. >> he told us he was a southside sureno. and he has the ss tattoo on the back for south side, i'm guessing. but that's a 2009 picture. who knows what he has now. >> 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's acquired any new tattoos and if he will consent to photographs. >> i see you got some ink on your stomach. can i see it?

how long have you had that? >> a while, man. >> a while? okay. i just haven't seen it before. i've seen the stuff on your back, i just hadn't seen that. do you want to tell me about it, or is it just art? >> just -- >> just art? >> pretty much. >> all right, no problem. >> hey, sarge, is there any way to get pictures of those? >> will you let me take a picture of your stomach? >> do i have a choice? >> yeah, you got 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 photograph my tattoo? >> no, i wasn't surprised. most gang members are proud of them.

a lot of them will say, yeah, and some will grin and say no. >> when you take him downstairs, i want to toss his cell. >> while deputies photograph his tattoos, corporal brown searches his cell for gang correspondence, weapons or other contraband. >> when they searched his 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's 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 said everything happened in under a minute.

so that was about 1 or 1.5 times per second or something like that. i don't know. that sounds to me, a little outrageous, to tell you the truth. but i guess that's all the evidence pointed at. >> all right, cool, thank you. >> the crime occurred when soto was 16 years old. >> 50 years to life, so it's a mandatory minimum before i can see the parole board. yeah, it was mostly just shock. i was kinda numb. i lost everything. my immediate family's still there, but all the other ones, friends, a chance at life, you know, maybe sometime having kids. never know what it feels like to have a job, a family of your own. i mean, i lost all that. >> soto did not testify in his trial and like other gang members, says he wouldn't have named the murderer, even if he knew who it was.

>> you defend yourself, but as long as you're not bringing other people down. 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'll be criminally charged for attacking hill in full view of the cameras. but the cameras cannot see every part of the jail, and deputies say another inmate has used that information to assault an inmate. deputy brent hoshgs was signed to the unit, said she didn't see the fight but definitely heard it. >> i could hear something going on in the bathroom. i look in, i really can't see anything. because there was a curtain half-pulled. sounds like they're fighting. >> she ordered the men to stop

fighting and come out from behind the curtain. the gang member involved was double amputee jeremy honeycutt. he said he and the other inmate who did not wish to be identified were arguing. >> it's just words. people fight with words. >> deputy brent asked both men if they were fighting. the other guy says they were. >> honeycutt denies it. >> what are you upset about? >> he called everyone in the pod a bitch. i had words for him, he got words for me. he got words for everybody in the pod. >> inmate 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 in 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 someone was going to plan a fight, the best option to not get caught would be to go into the bathroom? >> that's correct. >> i need you to initial 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 that he did start the fight. >> i'm innocent, so evidence speaks for itself and they ain't got no evidence. i expect to be found not guilty on this one. i didn't do nothing. >> coming up, marquel dean encounters an old adversary. >> 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 hot chili and cheese over there cooking on the hotpot. 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? >> no, they just in big chunks, so i crunch them down smaller. >> i love food, i eat a lot of food. 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 about to see is something real, real nice come to fruition. a little bit of nothing is gonna make something. you dig what i'm saying? >> just the things they can make and the time they spend with it shows their creative side. >> y'all try it out, let me know what you think. hold, 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 step 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,
