didn't move. i knew something was wrong. i could feel it. >> salmons says he pressed the cell's emergency call button, but it took some 40 minutes for deputies to respond. >> i can tell you nothing other than inmates lie all the time for their own reasons. this case was certainly no exception. you have to start with the premise i don't and none of the jail staff wants someone to get hurt or killed. none of us would. even if we were lacked any sort of compassion at all, it's a lot of work and it's a lot of attention that nobody wants. the reality is, none of us got into this job because we wanted to see lives end. we wanted to save lives. just because they are inmates, doesn't mean that we somehow depart from that drive that makes us go into law enforcement in the first place. >> two of us locked in the cell, one comes out. don't look very good.

such as this custom made steel fire pit. the income helps pay for the program and the professional training they receive. the inmate welders also do a lot of work for the jail itself, including fabricating and installing the steel cages used in the transport vans and buses in which they themselves ride to court and between facilities. one of them has just arrived from the downtown jail. with a large group of inmates who are transferring here. >> typically move about 35 inmates a day. the classifications vary. within the bus we have tanks. each of them are at least a two-man tank, we have one three-man tank and that's how we separate the inmates. just like in different holding tanks, just smaller and mobile. >> still, the 40-minute drive from the downtown jail to the facility can be eventful. >> the most daunting struggle is

there's two deputies assigned to this transportation bus and we have a capacity of 51 inmates. learning to deal with 51 inmates with only your partner is the big task. we've had fights in the back. there is not a whole lot we can do while traveling and driving. we will not stop and enter the rear tank. we'll drive to the nearest secure location, which is either one of our jails. so that could potentially be a 30-minute fight. >> at the center of attention today is a man serving one year of possession of controlled substance. he is in protective custody because he dropped out of his gang. >> protective custody inmates, philosophy is they are lower than low. most of the guys are either gang dropouts. they've been convicted of sex assaults on children. so the other inmates are, you know, see them as people they want to assault. >> i just dropped out so i could do my time and that's it. i'm pc.

that's all it is. you do your time. sad thing is you're doing your time with child molesters, homos, dirt bags and all kinds of garbage on that side. >> is it hard to deal with that? >> with all them people, not really. i stay to myself all the time. even on the street. i don't [ bleep ] around. >> bobbadilla is in a holding cell. while staff sort out his latest infraction. he was caught trying to smuggle an electric shaver under the bus. >> it's perfectly okay for them to have them and use them while in cells or living facilities, but not okay to have them on their person. they're not for them. they're for the whole pod. >> i was getting ready to get on the bus. i put it in my underwear pocket. i'm about to get searched.

i threw it under the bus. he heard the clank clank. >> i heard a thud. i asked him what that was. he admitted he had thrown the shavers. he apologized. i said, let's just get through this. >> as bobadilla was about to board the bus, he darted underneath the bus. >> he's trying to do something he shouldn't be doing. i run off the bus. i come around the corner and i see him with the shaver in his hand. he had gone to retrieve the shaver. whatever ever process went on in his head told him it was a good idea to crawl under the bus to get the shaver. he turned it over and we had a conversation about why that wasn't a good idea. we were able to transport him down here without incident after that. >> his actions resulted in a decision to place him in the jail's highest security housing unit. total separation where he will be confined in a single person's cell, 23 1/2 hours per day.

>> hang on tight. >> i don't want to go there. i'm better off in the dorm. >> we'll see. but i have to protect my officers. >> that's okay. if you get me a bunky then, okay. >> hang tight. okay? >> i don't want to lose my mind, sir. i got kids. i do not want to leave here a weirdo. >> all right. >> if i go back to t-cell, i'm raising hell. i'm going to kick my door. flood my cell. i'm going to be a havoc to these mother [ bleep ]. they want to play games, i can play games. coming up -- >> this is a write-up for being disobedient and pounding on the door. yesterday my cell got raided so they gave me another couple write-ups. >> he fulfills his promise, but finds himself on the receiving

end of other inmates' taunts. >> he wants to come out of the closet. that's all his problem is. and -- >> it's hard liing it once and have to go back and read this again it ain't so easy either. >> he makes front page news. th. whoa, whoa! you're not taking that. come with me. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. mom, i'm taking the subaru. don't be late. even when we're not there to keep them safe, our subaru outback will be.

advised. inside the downtown main branch at the sacramento, earnest is housed in the total separation, but he hasn't lost his sense of humor. >> how is my hair? >> total separation is exactly what it says, it's total separation. you are by yourself. you move by yourself. you're transported by yourself. you have no contact with any other inmate except for maybe talking through a door. >> salmans and other t. inmates are only allowed out of their cells 30 minutes everyday. >> everybody looks forward to using the phones. getting their coffee. >> salmons started out as an average inmate celled with another inmate. no underlying reasons to be separated. he is accused of killing his cell mate.

he will be a total separation inmate. he cannot have another cell mate. >> salmons says he struck his 54-year-old cell mate with an open palm after the inmate soiled himself and sat on salmons' bed. salmons says he has no idea how the man died a short time later. at the time, salmons was nearing the end of a one-year sentence for vehicle theft. >> 23rd is the prelim. that's where it's set where we got to start picking our jurors and stuff out. >> salmons must remain in jail awaiting trial for murder. if found guilty, he could get life without parole. >> i had those pigeons to come back to my window. every time i seen him, makes me think it's robin. coming to see how i'm doing again. >> salmons spends most of his free time talking to his many siblings in ohio. >> tell dad i love him and miss him. give him a kiss for me. just keep an eye on the court dates. you'll see it on the computers.

>> when you lower the level of violence and potential violence in our main jail, perhaps we didn't ask for this problem, perhaps we didn't do anything to contribute to it, perhaps it's splim because of the mental health issues and circumstances beyond our control, but it is our issue, so it's not only incumbent upon us, it's our obligation to figure out how best to address it, how best to minimize and how best to reverse what is hopefully not a trend. >> front page news, i am. holy cow. looks like i'm a real topic, huh? >> now a local newspaper has run a front page article on the recent deaths. salmons agreed to an interview and is the focus of much of the article. >> that sucks, man. that's pretty painful. that's not the way wanted to be put in a paper. even though i look good, it's not how i wanted to be in the paper. story is i killed a guy and they

are trying to say i'm a murderer and i'm not. it's hard living at once, man, having to go back and read this again. it ain't so easy, either. the guy has a lot of issues, you know? it's just a strange way how things happen. i'm the one that's going to have to suffer for the consequences, whatever they may be. i'm not saying i murdered him either. i'm not going to say that. i can't. i know i put my hands on him and i didn't put my hands on enough to kill anybody. i thought being honest with the people, you know, honesty's the best policy. i guess you just got to know when to be honest. i knew there was going to be a lot of questions. i didn't think i was going to get charged with murder.

>> let's see what we got here, g-55. g-55. >> in another part of the jail, the mood is considerably lighter. thanks to recreation supervisor. andrew fields. n-31. n-31. >> our goal is to keep these guys active. keep them focused on things that are positive. 0-73. 0-73. thank you. o-73. we are like in between the deputies and the inmates. we are here to relieve the stress and anxiety these guys go through. and to hopefully it saves a lot of paperwork. what i mean by paperwork, i mean a lot of fights. o-65. o-65. close. >> he goes above and beyond his call of duty. when it comes to making us feel not so locked up. >> the purse for today's game is

a candy bar. >> the next one. i-18. >> bingo! >> wait a minute. hold on. >> i'd like to thank the county jail. >> you got it too? okay. >> drew's never seen me pull my eyes out. he was trying to avoid it. >> that was a good one. >> he will never look at me the same way. he's like, you need to throw your board away. >> just for that, you didn't win. >> i was pretty shocked. i'd never seen anything like that. hope i don't have to see it again. >> thanks a lot, girls. appreciate it. thank you. >> it's very rewarding to see her be excited. and i know that they're here for a reason, but i'm hoping that they learn something and when they get out, that they would do better. >> for patricia, doing better might mean reconnecting with her children and siblings.

county hospital and pick me the [ bleep ] up. where's the baby? i don't know. i didn't ask you. i need you to come pick me up. in the hospital, i didn't let them know i was leaving. they didn't discharge me. walked right out. year later, my sister has pictures of him posted on facebook. and doesn't call me to tell me you stupid [ bleep ]. how dare you. da, da, da. calls me to tell me, look how pretty he is. he looks just like you. and he does. >> she recently missed an opportunity to avoid more jail time when she failed to appear at a court-ordered

rehabilitation facility on her latest court ordered methamphetamine. >> a monster. that's my nickname on the street. meth monster. it's terrible. my focus is meth. meth, meth, meth. if you got it, i want it. if i ain't got the money for it, i'm taking it. for no other reason just to get high and stay high. my family's a strong, strong family and it's obvious because they're still all together. i'm the one that left. i'm the one that still thinks it's okay to hide behind drugs. this jail to me is safe. my family tells me, we're so glad to see your name up there because we know you're cool. they're right.

before fibromyalgia, i was a doer. i was active. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. she also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. woman: for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you.

those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica.
