capitol building in sacramento, california, it could be mistaken for just another office, instead of open cubicles, you'll only find locked cells inside the main branch of the sacramento county jail system. of the 2,000 men and women incarcerated here, about 60% are only charged with crimes. and are awaiting trial at the resolution of their cases. the downtown branch is one of two jails run by the sacramento county sheriffs office. it's also the primary booking facility where officers from 13 different law enforcement agencies bring new arrestees. >> turn right, face the wall. >> probably every day, we process between 100 to 200 bodies coming through here a day. >> leave your hands by your side. >> i prefer working on the booking area. it's unpredictable. we have every walk of life come through here every day.

>> the two newest arrivals, ryan sobol and his girlfriend ariel potter. >> miss potter. >> their arrests are the result of a dispute they say was with potter's ex-boyfriend following an exchange of angry text messages. sobel said he and potter arranged to meet the ex-boyfriend in person to work it out. but were attacked by him and four of his friends. >> i ended up grabbing a knife that the guy had. and they were all jumping on me and in self-defense, you know, start swinging both of my arms and i had a knife in my hand. >> there's so much going on. i don't even know when this knife thing even happened. but there's blood all over the place. >> you turn right here. take a seat on the bench. >> they said i stabbed one guy ten times. and it was just such chaos. it was like a four-minute brawl.

and then we got out of there. >> he has a big black eye and his pinkie is cut down to the bone twice. they called the cops saying my boyfriend was the one that brought the knife when it was actually them that brought the knife. >> sobel and potter admit to fleeing the scene after the fight. but the others immediately called police. none of them was placed under arrest and according to police reports two of them suffered stab wounds and were transported to the hospital. >> did you guys ever call the cops after this incident? >> no. >> why not? >> i don't know. i think he was scared that this was going to happen. i think he was scared that we were going to get arrested, so he didn't call. >> stand right here, face the computer. keep your left hand by your side. >> police searched the area and arrested the couple a few hours later. they have yet to receive their official charges from the arresting officers. >> sometimes when people get booked into the jail, there's an investigation that goes on

beforehand. throughout the investigation if the officers aren't sure exactly what they're going to charge them for, they're not going to tell them that they're going to charge them with one thing because sometimes things change through the course of the investigation. >> can you tell me what my charges are? >> yeah. i'll tell you about that. >> potter once spent a night in jail on conviction for writing bad checks. but this is sobel's first time in. >> put your hand there. >> what's wrong with your hand? >> it's all the way down to the bone. >> what's that? >> there's two knife cuts all the way to the bone. >> he's been a perfect citizen. this is the first time he's ever been here. he's actually a veteran. >> sobel is not only a veteran, he's a purple heart recipient. he was in the army for two and a half years when he was nearly killed by a roadside bomb in afghanistan. >> they rebuilt my entire mouth and everything. it's all fake.

still getting surgeries. i'm 100% disabled from the military. from a roadside bomb. permanently. i'm now retired. >> now sobel has a new trauma to deal with. his charges have just come through and they're serious. >> these are your charges. looking at intent to murder. assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy. >> what? >> okay? because of the charges, don't have a bail release, you're going to stay here for two days. see a judge for arraignment. they'll tell you if you can bail out or be held for trial, okay? understand? >> attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy. what happens? what did i do? i don't even know what i do. i'm not this person.

attempted murder? are you [ bleep ] kidding me? i just don't get it. am i allowed to know what ariel's charges are? i mean, are they going to be the same as mine because she was there? >> she hasn't been fully booked yet. we'll find them out shortly. >> am i allowed to know that? >> no. >> this is your paperwork. come on over here. first open door on your right. >> attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy. >> when you get arrested, the detectives or the investigators, whoever is working that case, determine whether or not there's probable cause that crime was committed. they've obviously determined that because that's why you're here. now all that information, all the facts that they have collected, goes over to the d.a.'s office and now the d.a.'s office decides whether they're going to formally press charges

against you for these charges. if they do, then you'll be arraigned before a judge. if they decide there's not enough evidence in this case, then they may drop the charges. >> what's the next step? >> so right now, now that you've been booked, you're going to be dressed in. they're going to take your clothes, give you the jail clothes, take you up to the seventh floor. where you'll be classified. you'll stay up there. they'll give you a cell, a bed and you'll see a judge and possibly formally arraigned within the next 4 to 72 hours. >> step into this open door. right here. all the way to the window on the right. take off all your clothes. put everything in the brown bag. shoes, socks, underwear, everything, please. >> completely naked, everything in the bag. >> take one hand and -- turn around. put your right foot so i can see the bottom of it. left foot please.

spread your feet wide apart. you're going to bend over at the waist, reach back and pull your butt cheeks apart, cough hard twice. turn around. get dressed. >> bend forward at your waist, reach behind you, pull your butt cheeks apart, cough hard three times. >> what's it like wearing this uniform? >> it's horrible. i don't want it on my body. everybody staring at me in the [ bleep ] windows like they want to [ bleep ] kick my ass or something. >> what do you mean? >> like the mexicans and the [ bleep ] over there. >> like a football and then take your hands in the waistband at the front. >> go down to the yellow line. face the wall for me. >> stop at the red line. turn and face the wall. >> okay. right now you're standing in the position of safety. if a fight were to break out, this you need to assume your position.

>> if a fight breaks out, we'll assume you're part of the problem unless you stand like this. >> okay. >> if you walk by me and think you want to fight us, we'll deal with you accordingly. turn to your left. >> turn to your left. walk down the yellow line, follow the yellow line all the way down. all the way to the back of the elevator. stay facing the back wall. correct. turn back. stay facing the back wall. >> do you want to eat dinner? >> here you go. here's your tray. >> take my hands up? >> face that wall. >> straight down the hallway here. grab two blankets. >> with both hands? >> two blankets. that's fine. >> you're in 12. >> 200 bond, you're in cell 8.

as much as we can. >> officers have just responded to a ruckus between four known gang members. since it occurred inside a cell, the surveillance footage only tells part of the story. >> it appeared that a fight was going on. we don't have cameras in the cells. we have the cameras inside the housing units to insure what's going on. but inside the cells, they have an emergency button that they can press if they're under duress and we'll respond to assist in any capacity needed. in some cases all you can hear is just the yelling because no one can push that button. so we have to respond as well. >> the four inmates involved are restrained and separated. it's now up to sergeant hufford and other deputies to find out what happened. >> a look a little red and scuffed up to be horse playing. did this turn into more of a wrestling match? >> no. >> what was happening that the

behalf. in this particular case, none of the parties involved were willing to do that. so we do have in-house facility rules. these inmates were subsequently charged with horse-playing, rough-housing and entering a cell they're not assigned to. >> the four inmates involved have received three days of sanctions. including more time in their cells and suspension of visitation and commissary privileges. but sergeant hufford says deputies will keep a close eye on them. >> we know these individuals are gang members. part of the problem with being in a correctional facility is it can be a breeding ground for finding new recruits. in this particular case it appears that this may have been a new recruit to this gang getting jumped in. they're trying to inform us that no, they're just friends, we're just playing. you know? it's all a joke. obviously it's not a joke to us. if somebody gets hurt recruiting other gang members, these are all valid concerns for the

last one. 20 miles away. it's sacramento county's downtown jail. inmates make their way to and from the adjoining courthouse. a few days earlier, sobel was here for a bail hearing with his co-defendant and girlfriend, ariel potter. he attempted to get an envelope to her by pretending she dropped it and handing it to a deputy to give to her. >> i'm going to try to give it to one of the deputies down there, saying she forgot it in the courtroom and hopefully it gets into her hands. >> not only did the deputy apparently leave it behind, it's just been discovered by another. >> i think it's female's property item. it's a paper bag, report down her name and location. but it turns out to be some kind of card. i don't know if she was trying to pass it off maybe to her boyfriend or husband or whatever this was from last week and she

hasn't come down. i don't know if she's out of custody. a very good possibility. she came down, she wants it, we'll give it back. but once it stays too long, it ends up in the trash can. >> soon after we met her, potter declined to speak any further on camera as she tried to adjust to her new surroundings. now several weeks later, she's changed her mind. >> when i first got in here i was having extreme panic attacks and anxiety attacks, and i couldn't breathe. it was scarey. i cried all the time. i thought i was going to be out within a couple weeks. i still am kind of confused about a lot of things and it sucks being in the dark and not knowing what's going to happen. waiting for court date to court date.

living on that week to week. it's difficult. it really is. >> what do you think about him? >> ryan, honestly. i think about him a lot and then think about what i could have done differently that night. >> what could you have done differently that night? >> we shouldn't have gone. we should have been the bigger people and just ignored it and just didn't go. >> potter and sobel were arrested several hours following a violent confrontation with her ex-boyfriend and some others. two of the people they fought with suffered stab wounds, allegedly inflicted by sobel. now the couple only sees each other from a distance during court hearings. >> have you tried to pass any messages to him? >> i'm not trying to get in trouble. i mean, it's pretty simple. self-explanatory. do this, you don't do that. all we get to do is say i love you through the cell holding doors and that's it. >> i love you, ariel. >> love you. coming up -- >> they give me five days in the hole with everything taken from me. which was a definite experience. >> ryan sobel's week starts

ariel potter who is represented by a public defender is yet to

be granted any bail amount. >> i am confused. it feels like his lawyers are trying to put it on me. and so, it's scary that this is going to all come on me and, i t mean, i want ryan out. like, i do. so if me being in here, that's what's has to happen, i would rather have him out. >> why?av >> i don't know. i love him. i don't want to see him in jail. >> sobel places at least some blame for their troubles on potter.om >> i'm 100% disabled with the military. whether we're guilty or not guilty, her and myself put myself in harm's way. it could have been very easily made my health worse. she should have been there as my caregiver, caretaker to help and support me. you know? make those right decisions that night. >> i still feel as strong towards him as i ever have.

i don't feel like it will hurt our relationship. and i know that he still loves me as much as i love him. >> i had a lot of things that i liked. five bedroom house to a brand-new car to a brand-new boat to a loving girlfriend and dogs. i mean, i guess you can say that's the american dream. but it got washed away in a matter of a month. i lost my house and my dog. everything. >> it sucks being able to look out your window and see the ck train station. i wish i was getting on that going somewhere else.
