when an inmate is booked into jail at the hamilton county justice center in cincinnati,

they can expect to be dressed in a jail-provided jump suit like everyone else. but as the different story when it comes to their shoes. >> the policy is inmates coming in can keep their shoes provided that there is nothing in them or large quantities of metal on them that could possibly be a risk to staff. the policy is in place so that we don't have to pay as an agency for everybody that comes in to have a pair of sandals or shower shoes or provide them with other shoes. >> one inmate has taken personal style further than most. >> my every day shoes. these boots just are not made for walking. >> as one of the few transgender inmates at the jail, edward burkes is housed in one of two male protective custody or pc units, which are reserved for

i wasn't having any luck finding any jobs. because it's kind of hard to find jobs when you are transgender. started soliciting and got into drugs. and basically soliciting became my life. drug use became my life. >> survival sex is what we as law enforcement identify it. they are doing that because they have been put out on the street by their parents. they have no place to go. so they need money. and, you know, they haven't been able to get a job. so they have sex. >> when a car pulls over for you, it is scary. you never know who's behind the steering wheel and what's going to take place. they could turn the corner and pull out a gun and it could be the end of it. >> we've had several homicides in the last six months of transgender male prostitutes. i want to believe and feel that most men who pick up a prostitute realize they're picking up a male prostitute.

and that may be what they're interested in but there may be a confrontation at the end if they feel like it's not. >> there are times men pick me up thinking i'm a female. and we ride for a few minutes and they are like you are a female, right? and of course i don't lie. i'm a transgender. i've had cases where like oh okay that's fine. or well that's not really what i was looking for but i guess it's fine. and i've had cases where men will be like oh get out. >> doesn't that make you want to stop doing what you' do? >> yeah. but at the same time when you have felonies and priors and you are transgender and you have a cocaine addiction, it is like this is how -- this is what i'm used to. i know for a fact that if i do this i can get money.

>> prostitution as a means of survival could also be deadly. after burkes prior arrest for soliciting the jail administered a hiv test and it came back positive. >> did that make you want to stop at all? did you think okay maybe i should stop doing this? >> um-hmm. >> what happened after that? >> i didn't stop. just couldn't do it. it was the way i was surviving so -- >> did you disclose this to your clientele? >> um-hmm. >> you told them right away? um-hmm. >> what is their reaction? >> some people choose to do it and some people choose not to. most people still go through with it because there is protection used. >> as part of probation, burkes was placed on the court ordered treatment regimen that reduces risk of transmitting the disease. but if burkes is arrested again, the legal repercussions could be

more severe. >> once they know they have this deadly disease and they continue to solicit, the charge will be bumped up and they will start facing felony charges. >> but burke says quitting the lifestyle isn't as easy as it sounds. >> it's like this is what i'm used to. i know for a fact no matter what the weather, no matter rain, sleet, snow, i know that i'll make something so that i can support my habit and eat the next day and have clothes to put on my back and things like that. there's got to be a change. but the thing about is like when? when? when do i say enough is a enough? >> coming up -- >> i got word through the grapevine my best friend was over here on this side. >> edward burkes works the system to see a friend. >> like family. my little sister. we done been through the highways and byways together.

>> and through the breaking point in section, kianna mcmeans reaches out to her boyfriend. >> she hope i feel her pain and she cry herself to sleep every night. hey, man. oh! nice man cave! nacho?

so you are closer to that person. >> she -- >> what would jail be without them though? >> recently burkes requested a transit transfer for the jail's other pc unit citing safety concerns. she is now in the same unit as the rakeem brown. brown whose also transgender and goes by the name "honey," has known burkes for years. >> like family. my little sister, really. we been through a lot. we done been through the highways and byways together. and we can talk about anything. and then we're out and open. >> the two friends said they learned the other was in jail through the inmate grapevine. so they wrote their names on their windows hoping to find one another. >> this is north pc. this is the north. >> and if you look out the

window you see south -- >> the other building is south. >> so if i took tooth paste and i wrote shay on the window she could see it. >> yeah but i use tissue. dip it in water and make letters. >> what did you put on your window? >> honey. and she knew she was me. >> yeah. >> burkes says there was only way to get a transfer to the unit. >> cried for a little bit. >> lied for a little bit. >> and got over here a little bit. and a little bit. >> what did you say? >> that i didn't feel comfortable. and i was being targeted. because i'm a transgender. and i didn't feel safe. and i felt like my safety was in jeopardy. and they moved me. >> if an inmate feels threatened or they have harm that may be inflicted on them, as a supervisor you have to act on that. you have to preserve life and make that that they're health

and safety is a concern. and we have to move them at that point. >> is it safe to say you manipulated the system? >> yeah why not. what they gonna do? put me in jail? [ laughter ] i mean, hey. >> coming up deception catches up with the edward burkes. >> inmate burkes is manipulating the system to be with somebody. >> and deangelo young might have a chance to get out of jail but it comes with conditions. >> my lawyer was like if i was you i wouldn't take it. because we gonna beat this case anyway. finally get in shape. not to be focusing on my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened;

as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. clearer skin is possible. you know how painful heartburn can be. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief, try doctor recommended gaviscon. it quickly neutralizes stomach acid and helps keep acid down for hours. relieve heartburn with fast- acting, long-lasting gaviscon. and helps keep acid down for hours. there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah.

edward burkes is one of the few transgender inmates at the hamilton county justice center. though housed in a male unit, burkes self-identifies as female and goes by the name of shay. burkes recently moved into a protective custody unit with good friend rakeem brown, who is also transgender and goes by the name honey. burkes admitted manipulating the jail into making the move based on safety concerns.

but just one day after the transfer burkes was moved out of brown's unit and placed in a segregation cell. >> inmate burkes was manipulating the system. he was in the south building and made up a story to get himself over to the north building pc pod to be with somebody. we gathered that information from different sources, so we went ahead with the move. >> whatever. i go to rehab on the 25th. i don't care. i'm just upset that i had to spend my last few days that i'm going to be here behind a door. >> though it hasn't worked out in the past burkes is confident about the upcoming trip to rehab. >> what's going to be different this time? >> me. me actually trying to change. and trying to do something different rather than just getting out and going back to the same thing. my goal when i get out of rehab is to already have my own apartment and to already be in

the process of working. they have a lot of resources and they are willing to help me find a job even though being transgender. you know, sometimes it's not about what you know, it's about who you know. so with the resources and people being behind me to support me on getting a good job, finding an apartment, things like that, it should be easier than just me being by myself trying to do it. >> kianna mcmeans has been by he herself for the past month in administrative segregation due to overcrowding in the jail and the need to keep mcmeans separate from her codefendants in a case of aggravated robbery of a case that was recorded and put on the internet. >> i just want to get out this hole. >> but recently she got some good news. >> a c.o. came up smiling at my door. i'm like why is she at my door. they ain't supposed to be at my door. i already hate. she's like, guess what, miss mcmeans. i'm like, what.

you're out. and as soon as she said that the whole pod started clapping. >> i found out that most of the people that were involved in her case had bonded out. so due to the fact that she had a lot of people in the unit where she was housed with severe problems mentally, i decided that it would be in her best interests to get her moved out of that as fast as possible. >> mcmeans was moved into a general population unit. >> now i get to come out and go up and down the stairs, and in and out my room. i get to take a million and one showers a day if i want to. i can do anything. >> since we've moved her to b pod, she's calmed down. she's -- you know, she can interact with other inmates now. >> what's your plans when you get out? >> get real. >> beside your babies. >> start my damn life. just me and my kids. >> and you was just doing good just got on with the wrong people?

it's sad. >> while mcmeans awaits her court date in a week she is concerned about deangelo young's court appearance. >> my man in court today. i'm trying to see -- waiting to see what happen. hopefully he get out so he can be with my kids. >> he appeared in court on a domestic violence against mcmeans. he originally pled not guilty but suggested he might be willing to change his plea. >> if i have to get out that day i'm willing to either plead guilty and take probation to get out and get back to my family, man. >> but young changed his mind. >> see, they tried to offer me probation, and no. i didn't take it today. so my lawyer was like, oh, if i was you i wouldn't take it because we're going to beat this case anyway. so i went over there and sit in here for another week. >> you could have got out today? >> yeah, i could have got out today on probation. but i'm not going to take probation for something that never happened. >> what's going to happen with this charge? >> it's going to get dismissed. they really don't have nothing much. we was just arguing outside and

one of the neighbors called the police. and that's how this end up happening. so, you know. i guess the prosecutor is going to talk to her this week. they just wanted to know was she okay with it. they got to ask her do she feel threatened or have a problem with me getting out? which everybody know she don't so. >> it is wrong for a man to put their hands on a woman. but i mean, i'm not upset anymore. and he needs to be there for my kids while i'm here. i don't know how long i'm going to be in here. and that little petty charge. he can get out. >> this will never happen again, man. ever. >> it could be years until cory hall gets another chance at life on the streets. he's charged with murdering his uncle and dumping the body in the woods. while awaiting trial he applied for a job in the kitchen, where he worked last time he was in the jail. the decision to hire him or not is up to sergeant moore. >> hello? >> hello.

are you cory hall? >> yes, ma'am. >> let me see your arm band. okay. you put in a kite to get a work detail? >> yes, i did. >> and you are maximum security inmate right now? >> that's true. >> per our policy we will not be able to give you a detail because of your security status. >> okay. that's fine, thank you. >> you understand everything? >> yes, i do. >> you have any questions? >> no, ma'am. >> are you sure? >> i'm sure. >> have a good day. >> thank you. >> typically, people who are charged with murder, we don't allow them to have work details. we like to keep them confined to the floor. >> i didn't have a clue. i thought maybe i could get a job. you know. you know, i'm going to have to wake and up just sit and watch tv for however long i'm here. it's going to be hard for me. >> while hall continues to struggle with isolation in his unit, he has received his first letter from family on the outside. >> i received one letter from my aunt. she raised me.

i had asked her to come and see me. and she said that she don't think that right now is the time. and she has a lot of things to take care of. and it just said, really, i can't stop crying. you know, i lost my brother and my nephew and i'm so angry right now. it took so long for me to write this letter to you. it does say that she loves me. and that helps a lot. that's the worst thing that could possibly really happen with a family. and this is the comfort i've received. that's not -- that's not very much. you know, a hug. homemade dinner. i've got a piece of paper to hold on to. not much comfort. it hurts.

it hurts.

just pulled that out of there. >> a jail shakedown recovers a huge stash of contraband. >> this might be a first more me. >> me and my boyfriend were out one night and whatever he did is what landed us in here. >> a young couple is charged where robbery and murder. >> i know what i did and did not do. and i kid not kill anybody. >> as judgment day approaches, one of their lives might depend
