due to mature subject i'm not going to lie, i still think about getting high. it's always in the back of my head. and this is it, i can't get high again. >> a dangerous drug makes a comeback in hackensack, but this time with a twist. >> and you will see that they are very close to their moms and that's why i call them mama's boys. >> my mom is afraid that she is going to bury me. >> i am not afraid because of lack of sleep, it's because of lack of toughness.

>> a young couple discover they're addicted to more than just drugs. >> i am addicted to every drug i put in my body. >> and they have developed a method of communicating unlike any we have seen before. >> a-s-a-p, asap. please get me money asap. >> we are on the same wavelength. i don't know who would have picked up on that kind of thing, but we did. >> and we once again give them cameras to record intimate details about their lives. >> if thomas were to kill someone, i would be right next to him hiding the body. the 40,000 or so residents of quiet hackensack, new jersey, can visit the glitz and glamour of new york city in less than an hour, but on the outskirts of downtown hackensack is a place

where compelling drama plays out every day. there are about 900 men and women incarcerated inside the bergen county jail. most are only accused of crimes and are awaiting trial or the resolution of their cases. many of them also share something else in common. >> we're seeing a large influx of inmates coming into our facility for heroin, prescription drugs, oxycodeine and things the of that nature. but heroin is making a huge comeback. not just in suburbs or urban areas but into all different areas. >> alyssa schlossberg look no further than her own skin of heroin's comeback. >> i shot my feet, too, like in here, and little spots in here, here. my family, being around them, they know what these are. you know, people that don't know so it's embarrassing. but nothing a little foundation

can't fix. i have so many moments where i don't remember. i hear what happened, you know. when i was at the hospital, the nurse had told me that they found me naked on route 46. and i had no recollection. before coming here, i passed out in front of a judge and didn't remember anything in court and woke up in handcuffs with three cos around me and a sergeant. >> this is schlossberg's first time in jail. she's charged with distribution of cocaine and has pled not guilty. but she does admit to living a drug-filled lifestyle with her boyfriend. >> we always had drugs. people were always calling him. we got caught up in that lifestyle. it wasn't because of drugs, it was because of money. and we were eating like in his words, like a boss. we had the money to do whatever

we wanted. i love him. he's my everything, my baby, my father in some way, my best friend, my boyfriend, my soul mate. he's my other. >> and now schlossberg's other is also an inmate at the bergen county jail. thomas costa who has prior convictions for drug manufacturing, distribution and aggravated assault, is recently on probation when he came to visit schlossberg and got arrested again. >> i was using heroin, pills. on my way in, i actually had drugs on me. i wasn't really thinking, leave them at home, leave them somewhere, because what's going to happen, walk in, walk out like i do every week. >> visitors must pass through a metal detector to make sure they're not carrying weapons into the building. they do not have direct contact with the inmates. so they're not frisked. when he signed in, an arrest warrant popped up for a probation violation. when it did, officers went to arrest him. >> i was actually in the bathroom getting high at the

time. and when i heard the door open, i heard the keys jingling and then i heard two or three pairs, so i knew it was cops coming in. >> most part not very usual to find someone taking drugs in the jail bathroom. not normally the place that you would go do it. we were kind of shocked that he was doing it. >> i had planned on doing it the whole time i walked in there. i didn't plan on getting arrested. >> i asked him to step out and put his hands behind his back, and he did. then i asked him if he had any more on him and he said no. then i found the 13 decks. i thought you didn't have any on you. he said that's not on me, that's in my wallet. >> now i'm in here with her, unfortunately. so funny how things work out. >> costa was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance. he pled not guilty in hopes of making a deal for a lighter sentence. in the meantime, even though he

and his girlfriend are housed in separate wings and can't see each other, costa says it's good to be under the same roof with her. >> and i miss the [ bleep ] out of her, and i feel closer to her now being in here. i know we're going through it together. >> i feel dead without him. it's not that i feel weak. it is not because of lack of nutrition or anything, but it is lack of thomas. >> costas and schlossberg hope to qualify for the new jersey court drug perhaps. it was set up to help offenders with drug charges avoid jail or prison time. but the program is rigorous and requires a commitment to drug rehabilitation and frequent testing. >> and the anger issues. >> and the jail offers its own road to sobriety for the inmates who volunteer to abide by a strict set of rules. >> this is our drc program. drug rehabilitation center. an in-house drug treatment center, a 90-day program for people in the bergen county

jail. >> officer lopez is one of the supervisors of the drc. >> let's not get lax. >> the gentlemen here wake up at 6:00 in the morning. >> should there be no radios, right, in group? >> and a lot of people who are not used to the structure think that it's military. we don't run it like that, but i say things one time, and i expect it to be done. for them that's military, for anybody else, that's normal behavior. and we have a lot of people come in here thinking this program is one way and after 90 days they're totally different people. >> william says he can testify to that. >> it's a good feeling to have my spirit come back to life because i was dead coming in here. >> serving four months for theft and robbery, he's about to complete the 90-day program. in a few days he'll be released from jail and continue his recovery in a residential drug treatment program. today drug abuse counselor sam watson will honor his achievement with a special

token. >> this coin is really a token of your ability to cope. it has no intrinsic value itself, but coping and completing this program in 90 days is a very difficult task. so the ability to get through it without getting written up and kicked out is important. i wish you all the best on your journey, and i hope that you put the same effort into discovery house that you did here. okay? >> thank you. thanks. >> you feel good to see somebody come in on day one and see the change in them. if we get too good at this, i'll be put out of a job, but that's okay. i'll find something else to do. >> prior to his release, he must complete one more task -- provide an orientation to the inmate who will take his spot in the drc, aaron sofield. >> grab two sets of blues and we'll change you up. leave the other two in there. you have your key, right? >> yes, sir. >> i'm addicted to heroin. use it every day, morning, noon

and night, $2,000 a day, that's 50 bags a day. so i heard this is the best program in the state to get clean. i'm lucky i got arrested to get into here. >> my life was good. i have a great family. i had a great job. i stole from my family. they don't trust me. they gave me so many chances, and this is the last chance, because if i don't succeed here, i don't have no family backing me up. and i come from a big family. i'll be out on my own. and i don't want that. >> sofield has pled guilty to theft and forgery and is awaiting sentencing. he's had several convictions for drug possession as well. >> i'm not going to lie. i still think about getting high. it's always in the back of my head. i can't get high ever again. you know, like, i mean i'm 29,

i'm still a little bit young but i've been around a lot compared to some other kids in here who are still young. you know, they all think about it, too. everybody thinks about it. i can't get high any more? just one more time? but there's never one more time. when it comes to heroin. you know how many times i said that? and it always leads to the next day, the next day. never one more time when it comes to that. >> coming up -- >> i'm 6'3", my feet hit this when i try to sleep. you wake up every time you try the turn. it's freezing. aaron sofield struggles to fit in in the drug rehabilitation center. and -- >> the hebrew bible goes opposite american -- >> alyssa schlossberg returns to her religious roots, but finds it doesn't keep her out of trouble. >> she did lie to you. >> in a nutshell.

inside hackensack, new jersey's bergen county jail, inmates were allowed digital cameras for about an hour or so. the purpose was to allow them to record any intimate thoughts of their lives in privacy. two of those inmates are thomas costa and his girlfriend alyssa schlossberg. they're both facing drug charges and hope to be assigned to a rehab program in lieu of more jail or prison time. >> our crappy ass mirror, but it's cool. you can actually see me better through the camera through the mirror, which is weird. but i don't know, maybe it's a reason why people can't see their real self through this mirror. that it's not really who a lot of people are. because it's not how i look when i am who i am.

and this is just a piece of me, it's not the whole thing. this -- actually, this book is this -- actually, this book is on rosh hashanah. >> schlossberg said she's using this part of time in jail to reconnect with her religious roots. >> and it is the hebrew bible. >> and this is the transition on this side? >> this is hebrew. >> and this is english? >> this is english. >> wow. >> i was raised catholic and jewish and i made communion and i was confirmed. it is more that the boys did the jewish thing and i followed my mom with the catholic thing, and we celebrated both christmas and hanukkah. but they're big ceremonies. like all the family getting together and they have seders. they have different foods that represent different things. i don't know them off of the top of my head, but like the -- what was it?

a radish. relish. >> schlossberg might have another motivation for reawakening her jewish roots. prior to being arrested when he came to visit her, schlossberg's boyfriend thomas costa gave her an inside tip on jail food. >> she doesn't like jail food. if you want to get the legitimate food, play your jewish card in there. you will get real meals, real food as opposed to the stuff we get in here. >> the jail prepares special kosher meals and they're preferable to the nonkosher meals. >> this one is chicken and black beans. the proportions are smaller but it's better than what they give us on the tray. >> vegetarian, halal, vegan, kosher, if they come in here and say that's what they need, that's what they get. >> some people come in here and say kosher food is better. >> jews don't even get anything. >> we don't even get a synagogue in here.

>> we've got the roving religion, the guy on the cart. he comes around with his jewish card, his catholic card. i'm kidding. >> you guys thing it's funny but i take my religion seriously. >> but that's the god's honest truth, or allah, whatever. they come around with it on the card. the rabbi, the priest. >> but we don't get like a service. rosh hashanah starts tonight. like if it was christmas, would be go to church? >> the rabbi has his own hours, too. >> so we need a better rabbi. >> then you should write to lieutenant and ask do you want a rabbi on call? >> i don't plan on being here. >> then why are we having this conversation? >> members of the clergy, including the rabbi, not only visit the jail, they often hold religious studies with small groups of inmates. while schlossberg says her renewed interest in judaism is real, she admits she's not above deceit.

>> i know how to lie and make the whole world believe it. i know how to manipulate someone. my parents always told me i should either be an actor or a lawyer. >> you always have a choice. you can never say that circumstances, i can't choose. >> today, schlossberg and huber meet with the jail's rabbi for religious studies. >> sometimes it's hard to choose, am i right? sometimes it's a dilemma. during the lesson, the rabbi notices that schlossberg's energy has begun to wane. >> we just had lunch hour. no lunch. >> upon hearing she didn't receive her kosher lunch that day, the rabbi requests a meal for her. but lunch is quickly interrupted when officer ponder determined schlossberg lied to the rabbi about missing her meal. >> did you eat at chow time? >> yeah, i have it now. my salad. >> but did you eat at chow time?

>> yeah, we ate. >> so why did you tell the rabbi that you didn't have a tray. >> no, we didn't have lunch then. >> i went into the kitchen and told them that you didn't receive a tray. >> oh, i didn't know. >> that you knew exactly what you were doing, schlossberg. >> i wasn't the one that said it. >> when you walked past what did you say to us? the rabbi is on the way to the kitchen to get me extra food. is that what you said? yes or no. so you knew what you were doing then? >> no, not about that. it was about a snack. >> sir, she actually had two trays. she's good. >> yes, she did lie to you. >> she did lie to you. >> in a nutshell. >> okay. but you did get two trays. >> yes. >> that's it. thank you. >> i wasn't the one who told him that. >> all right. case closed. >> alyssa schlossberg's very sneaky, conniving, she does

whatever she can to get over or to get her way. >> schlossberg not only told the rabbi she didn't eat that day, she also told him something else. >> >> she don't feed us enough because she's pregnant. >> no, your exact words were i'm with child. >> time to get the rabbi to talk to her boyfriend. so she goes but don't tell thomas that i'm pregnant. because he doesn't know that. >> that's a good thing you told me. >> it's a good thing you told me. >> yes, i lied about my pregnancy. i lied about the food. i get whatever i want. >> coming up -- >> i might tell you something, okay? this got to stop. >> alyssa schlossberg encounters an angry lieutenant. >> you know what i'm talking about. >> i don't have amateur addicts. i have the real mccoys here. >> the first rehab center set up inside a new jersey correctional facility. >> the next time i stick a

needle into my arm, i'm going to die. ho!

i'm 29 years old, and i would have never thought that my life would have come to this. you know, i lived a pretty good life growing up. family loved me and people cared about me. had a lot of friends. i had a girlfriend for the past four years. we broke up about eight months ago because of my using. i was engaged to her. and just, i chose the drugs. i chose the drugs over her. >> aaron sofield continues to do time in the bergen county jail's drug rehabilitation center while awaiting sentencing on charges for theft and forgery. >> chow up, last call. >> it's a tightly run program with a strict daily regimen that inmates must adhere to for 90 days or they're dropped.

>> we have 50% rules in our facility. it's kind of funny. but if they don't have their keys on them or their locks on their lockers or if they leave the books out or chairs down, we want them focused, we want them thinking. we don't want them too comfortable. we want them always working on themselves. >> sofield, however, faces an additional challenge. >> i'm 6'3" and my feet hit this thing when i try to sleep. you wake up every time you try to turn. it's freezing. i fall asleep and have drug dreams. that's just natural. if you're not having drug dreams, then you're not using drugs. >> sofield has battled addiction to heroin over the past several years and believes if he doesn't get clean this time, he'll lose the support of his family and everything else he values. >> mr. lopez, the co in charge of the program, i give him a lot of respect. he's put up with a lot of [ bleep ] nonsense in this place. people coming to him complaining about this, complaining about

that. but i'm thankful, really thankful for him. he put that structure back in my life. >> being in jail has got me clean now for 2 1/2 months, and i don't think i've ever been that clean in over four years. my body is kicking back to, you know, a normal cycle, which is a good thing because for a while i thought i wasn't going to be able to have children. >> alyssa schlossberg has also had a heroin addiction. she's currently charged with distribution of cocaine and hopes to take part in the state's court drug program. schlossberg would need to plead guilty, but then instead of jail or prison time, she'd be sent to an inpatient facility and follow protocol for drug testing for as many years as the court deem necessary. >> i went into the kitchen and

tomorrow them that you didn't receive -- >> a tray today. >> i didn't know that. >> you knew what you were doing. >> i didn't say it. >> she did lie to you. >> she admits to lying to the rabbi to get an extra lunch tray. while not the most serious violation jail officials deal with, the lieutenant has decided it warrants a visit. >> i'm going to tell you something, this [ bleep ] got to stop. okay? i deal with drug court all the time. >> i know. >> now, listen to me. okay? if you're pulling [ bleep ] here, listen, i don't want a response. if you're pulling [ bleep ] here, all i got to do is pick up the phone and let them know. okay? it doesn't go over well with them. you know what i'm talking about, right? >> yeah. so does everyone else because

i'm not the only one -- >> it doesn't matter. >> i understand that. but i am always -- >> well, why do you think that is? >> you think it's me? >> why do you think that is? >> i don't know why. i'm not the only person. >> you're not the only person, you're right. but -- >> i'm not going to get into it. >> i told you, i don't want a response. the fact is that she ate lunch and then went and lied to the rabbi in order to get an additional meal. it has nothing to do with her religion or faith. it has to do with the fact that she's manipulating the system in order to achieve food, extra items in any way she can. if she uses her faith to do it, that's on her. that's her responsibility. >> the third time. you want to see my father? i almost said that to him. i cannot be friends with you any more. it's over. the only person he comes in here for is me. it's treating me like this is my jail father. like you're not my father. like go yell at someone else. >> coming up -- >> we quite often get couples like alyssa schlossberg and mr. costa in jail. they become co-dependent on each other. so their need to communicate just overwhelming. >> alyssa schlossberg and thomas

it is not just a lockup center, for men and women facing a variety of charges, it's also a drug rehabilitation center. >> we were the first in new jersey to open up a rehabilitation center in a correctional facility. a couple of years ago we opened up a female drug rehabilitation center which has eight beds, and that is also successful. >> since the jail has many more men than women, the rehab side houses about 30 inmates. >> i don't have amateur addicts. i have the real mccoys here. i have guys that live on the street, homeless. i don't have your weekend warrior. i have the everyday user. those are the people we really need to help now to stop the revolving door coming in and out of jails and hopefully save money down the road for taxpayers. >> aaron sofield is an admitted

heroin addict. he's a week into the 90-day program. >> it's little boring. same stuff. i've been through two rehabs before. so i know what it's about. >> what do you miss about the streets? >> the thrill, running around, just the rush that we get. i'm really not missing my friends. you know? girls. you know, everybody misses girls. but my friends and that, i really don't care. i make friends no matter what. >> sofield's newest friend in the drug rehab center is michael parapar who is only weeks away from completing the program. >> you also have a lot in common like we both shot heroin, we both smoked pcp. >> he's a young cool kid. he speaks what's on his mind. he doesn't care who you are, he says what's on his mind. >> i've been using since i was 14 and alcohol since i was basically 6. when i shot acid, this the guy made me want to shoot acid, and he was crazy.

it really sucks. i don't want to come back to jail again. the way i was doing drugs, if i go back out, the next time i stick a needle in my arm, i'm going to die. my mother's afraid she's going to bury me. i know that for a fact. and my dad just -- my dad's almost given up on me. that's why i'm really -- i'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. >> he has a lot of problems. i tell him that. he knows that. he's been through a lot. 21 years old. i haven't been through any of that. i wish him the best.

[ speaking in a foreign language ] >> translator: today the vice president and i shared the view that on the basis of close cooperation and collaboration, the iraq/u.s. aliens has i don't know into an indispensable lynch pin for peace and security on the korean peninsula and northeast asia, as well as a successful strategic alliance that works together to resolve global challenges. we have also reconfirmed our unwavering will to continue to make our alliance even stronger

through further cooperation in the areas of security, economy and trade, and global issues. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> translator: ten days ato, on april 10th, i spoke with president trump on the results of the u.s./china summit and ways to work together going forward.

today, with vice president pence, we shared the understanding on the gravity and urgency of north korea's nuclear and missile threat and agreed to double our efforts to change north korea's strategic calculations by further tightening the global network of pressure on north korea and thoroughly implementing sanctions under the unwavering principle of denying north korea nuclear weapons. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> translator: furthermore, under the shared view that china's constructive efforts and role are critical, we applaud the results of the recent

u.s./china summit and will strengthen our cooperation with china. if north korea gives provocation we will strengthen measures based on agreement with china. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> at the same time in response to north korea's continually advancing nuclear threat, we have agreed to continue to pursue our measures, strengthen our -- we have agreed to

strengthen the readiness posture, by assuring the early deploy with system. [ speaking in foreign language ] in this respect, i appreciate the united states taking a clear position, on various occasions, including at the u.s./china summit, in regard to china's deployment. we have agreed to continue to work together so unfair actions

can come together at an early date. [ speaking in foreign language ] furthermore, we fully share the view and responding to and resolving such critical issues, the resolving is of the utmost importance. and that the decisions will be made under seamless cooperation and coordination. furthermore, as global partners, we have agreed to work together

to resolve global issues. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> it is meaningful that close cooperation has continued to develop. and i'm confident that today's meeting as vice president pence will serve as meaningful location of the further development of the iraq-u.s. alliance. thank you. >> good afternoon. to acting president hwang

hyo-ahn, thank you for your kind words and welcoming us in the republic of korea, in my first stop as vice president of the united states. it's a great honor for me to be in south korea today. and i bring greetings from the president of the united states, president donald trump. and on his behalf, i'm here to express the unwavering support of the united states in our long standing alliance with south korea. president trump and i are great physical your strong commitment to the united states. we extend personally your steady hand. the president and our administration admires the south korean's commitment to the rule of law and the democratic process. and we look forward the election with great anticipation. while change is coming on may 9th, the people of south korea

will be assured, whatever change happens in your elections, the commitment of the united states to south korea's safety and security will remain unchanged. [ translator speaking ] [ translator speaking ]

>> on behalf of the president of the united states, my message to the people of south korea is this -- we are with you 100%. even in these troubled times, we stand with you for a free and secure future. the united states of america stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the republic of korea, and the service and vigilance of some 37,500 u.s. soldiers, sailors and marines, stands on this frontier of freedom, stands as a testament of the enduring partnership of our people.

the alliance between south korea and the united states, is the linchpin of security throughout the asia-pacific. the united states' commitment to south korea is iron-clad and immutable. and i know our alliance will be stronger, our nations will be safer and the asia-pacific will be more secure. [ translator speaking ] [ translator speaking ]

>> nowhere is that more evident than with our commitment to continue front the region's most dangerous and urgent threat to peace and security, the regime in north korea. since 1992, the united states and our allies have stood together for a denuclearized korean peninsula. we hope to achieve this objective through peaceful means. but all options are on the table. just in the past two weeks, the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president, in actions taken in syria and afghanistan. north korea would do well not to test his resolve, or the strength of the armed forces of the united states in this

region. we will continue to deploy the thaad missile defense system as a defensive measure, called for by the alliance and for the alliance. we will continue to evolve capabilities to ensure the safety of south korea. and as our secretary of defense made clear here in south korea not long ago, we will defeat any attack and we will meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective response. [ translator speaking ] [ translator speaking ]

[ translator speaking ] >> strategic patience has been the approach of the last administration and beyond. for more than two decades the united states and our allies have worked to peacefully

dismantle north korea's nuclear program and alleviate the suffering of their people. but every step of the way, north korea answered our overtures with willful deception, broken thom promises and nuclear tests. even conducting a failed missile launch as i traveled here for this visit. the era of strategic patience is over. [ translator speaking ]

[ translator speaking ] >> earlier this month, president trump speak with you, acting president hwang, to reaffirm the strength of our alliance. as i assure you today, we will continue to closely consult with south korea and our leadership as we make decisions moving forward. we also call on other regional powers and the entire international community to join us to confront north korea and demand that it abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, to end the repression

of its own people. [ translator speaking ] [ translator speaking ] >> earlier this month president trump met with chinese president xi at the southern white house. each of them reaffirmed their commitment to a denuclearized korean peninsula during that meeting on april 7th. they also committed to fully

implement u.n. security council resolutions and increase cooperation to convince north korea to abandon its illicit weapons program. it's heartening to see china commit to these actions. but the united states is troubled by china's economic retaliation against south korea for taking appropriate steps to defend itself. the better path would be for china to address the north korean threat that is actually making such defensive measures necessary. now, while issues like that remain, the president and i have great confidence that china will properly deal with north korea. but as president trump made clear a few short days ago, if china is unable to deal with north korea, the united states and our allies will. [ translator speaking ]

[ translator speaking ] [ translator speaking ]

>> so, today it is my privilege on behalf of president trump, to reaffirm the united states' enduring commitment to the prosperity of south korea. and to ensure the people of south korea of our unbreakable bond. we're bound together by our shared values, but also by our shared sacrifice. a free and democratic south korea was forged in the fires of sacrifice by soldiers from both our lands. and my father was one of them. 65 years ago, second lieutenant edward j. pence fought alongside brave south korean forces to win the freedom of this land. while he came home to raise a family, he had friends in uniform, from america and korea, who went home to eternity. so, too, the friendship between

our two free nations is eternal. we have bled together, we have prospered together. and on that foundation, the people of the united states of america and south korea will face the future together. with courage, determination and faith, we go together. thank you, mr. acting president, for your hospitality. it is a great, great honor to be with you today.
