employees and temporary residents at the tulsa county jail know all too well. on any given day, there are about 1,800 men and women incarcerated here. while some have been convicted, most are only accused of crimes and are awaiting trial or resolution of their cases. >> let me see who's winning. >> chief deputy michelle robinette runs the jail. >> when i first started 18 years ago, public drunks were coming in every weekend. now and then you would get a murderer. today, a lot more frequent. the public drunks and the simple charges aren't coming through anymore. now we're looking at charges of meth, assault with a deadly, shooting with intent to kill and it's hard to see, but that's what we're dealing with. >> joseph giroux could serve as an example of an inmate who goes beyond the public drunk. his alleged crime spree made local headlines. he is accused of being high,

stealing a car, attempting to kidnap two people at a convenience store, firing a gun at an apartment building, crashing into another car, leading police on a high-speed chase, and bursting into a tulsa casino with a loaded shotgun. in all, giroux was charged with 14 different crimes. he has pleaded not guilty to all, but admits his night got off to a bad start. >> basically did a shot of meth, and i don't really remember much else, like i was really messed up in the head. a bunch of people been telling me a bunch of crazy stuff. like right now i got to talk to my family. it's real emotional because my life in the free world could possibly be over because i simply let somebody shoot me up with something and i didn't know what it was.

>> giroux thinks his meth may have been laced with a drug known on the streets as bath salts, which prompts extreme aggressive behavior and paranoia. >> it was like i was in a dream and kept waking up here and there for the crazy parts like pow! hit the car, you know what i mean? now i'm shooting in this house like i don't remember, i don't remember driving, i don't remember how i get to these different places, none of that. so, you know, was that bath salt? i have no idea, but it wasn't meth. >> giroux says he started doing meth at age 14 and that it has led to four prior convictions totaling 17 years in prison. the most serious was for accessory to murder. he had been out for six months, prior to his last arrest. >> all i know is that drugs took me down a bad road and i seen stuff that, you know, you just, you ain't got no business being around. >> since his arrest 11 days

earlier, giroux has been housed in a single-person segregation cell where he is locked down 23 hours a day and has none of the privileges afforded other inmates. >> i put him in segregation from the moment he got here because of combative nature and the way he was acting. we just couldn't -- there was no way that was going to happen that he goes to general population pod. >> giroux's booking on the night of his alleged crime spree was captured by jail surveillance cameras. the process is uneventful until a short time later when giroux is in a holding cell and begins punching the door. moments later, he removes the drawstring from his shorts and ties it around his neck. when staff notice, they assume it could be a suicide attempt and swarm him in order to remove it. [ bleep ]

soon after they leave, giroux becomes enraged again and head butts the door. [ bleep ] though giroux's behavior has since stabilized, sergeant colette, who runs the segregation units, has another reason for isolating him as well. >> his words were "i'm not housing with no mexican." he refused to house with anybody that was mexican, and that is not permitted here. mr. giroux will stay in segregation until we modify his behavior and he decides, you know, housing with a mexican isn't so bad after all. >> most inmates prefer to live in the jail's general population units. they enjoy more time out of their cells, televisions, and the ability to socialize with

others. but sometimes, that leads to conflict. >> we just had an officer call on the radio that she needed help. don't know what the issue is but we should find out shortly. >> now i'm getting in trouble for what? so can i go ahead and fight it, then, if i'm going to get in trouble? >> ain't fighting nobody, that's the whole gist. >> i'm going to do something i'm going to do it to get out. >> get her out of here. >> richada crawford has just been restrained by detention officers after a conflict with another inmate. >> get [ bleep ] off of me! you better let my [ bleep ] go, like this. let them go! >> crawford is currently awaiting trial on a charge of trafficking crack cocaine. she's pled not guilty. >> break my [ bleep ]! get off my foot. get off my foot. >> i'm not on your foot.

i'm not doing anything wrong! [ bleep ] >> after crawford trips one of the officers and steps on her foot, more officers rush to the scene. >> okay, but you need to get your knee out of my back. >> calm down and we'll get you -- >> you think i'm trying to assault you or something? >> whenever you have an inmate that's being physically aggressive, we don't really like to take any chances. we like to have as much people as possible to handle any situation that occurs.

okay? just be quiet. >> crawford is taken to the women's segregation unit where she will remain confined to her cell 23 hours per day, pending an investigation into the matter. >> just let it pass. it's a moment in time. >> coming up -- >> we was physically fighting and then he hit me too hard so yeah, i stabbed him. >> richada crawford's troubled past, and -- >> when they brought you in the first time, the reason you went to seg is that you refused to house with the mexicans. >> joseph giroux explains himself. but let's be honest. nobody likes dealing with insurance. see, esurance knows it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting. i don't know either. i'm just the spokesperson. but that's why they're making it simple - so that even actors, like us, can understand it. i'm not an actor. i'd love to tell you more but i only have thirty seconds.

so here's a dramatic shot of their tagline so you'll remember it. when insurance is simple, it's surprisingly painless.

inside the tulsa county jail, detention officers say they restrained richada crawford just as she was about to get into a fight with another inmate. >> -- doing me wrong!

[ bleep ] doing me wrong! >> but crawford denies the allegation. >> that's what they accuse me of doing was starting an altercation with somebody. so i said, okay, if you all are going to move me from this pod i may as well fight the girl. i might as well get a reason to go to seg. might as well have a reason, and they stopped me in my tracks. >> do you have an anger issue? >> that's what they told me but i don't believe i do. if i'm really mad to the point where i just can't take it no more, i write. but if i'm to the point i'm mad and you're right here in my face, we're going to have a problem, you know? >> though only 20 years old, crawford has had numerous stays at tulsa county, dating back to age 16, when she was sent to the juvenile facility after stabbing a man who she says was physically abusive toward her. >> he put his finger in my face like he was about to tell me what to do.

and that's just not going to fly like that. >> then you stabbed him? >> no, then we was physically fighting and then he hit me too hard, so yeah, i stabbed him. i had cut him on the neck. >> where'd you get the knife? >> i always walk around with pocketknives on me. yeah. >> crawford will remain in segregation until a disciplinary hearing on her alleged altercation with the other inmate is completed. but inmates can be sent to segregation for any number of rule violations, including the one committed by adriana lopez. >> she took your gummies? >> she did. it's theft. >> lopez has a seven-day stay in segregation for stealing gummy candy from the deputy station in her housing unit. >> for some reason she thought it was okay to go behind my desk and knows that i'm a stickler on no going behind my desk. and she thought i wasn't looking, and i was. >> it didn't bother me. the gummies are really good.

i can't even keep a straight face to say that, because they were really good. i mean, they were very fresh, i must say that. they were very fresh. >> lopez is back in tulsa county just three months after serving 30 days here on a joy riding conviction. >> don't like tulsa, oklahoma, very much. come on vacation, leave on probation, come back on a citation. it's just an easy place to get in trouble. >> this time she's charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest, but she also faces a more serious charge, strong-arm robbery in neighboring creek county. she has pled not guilty to all three charges. >> i allowed myself to be accustomed to the darker side of life very young. i learned how to do drugs at a very young age.

the moment i hit 18, i started stripping. it will eat you up, it will consume you, that lifestyle. i'm just a lost child trying to get back to my adulthood, really, because i can't get back to my childhood because i have two children that i'm supposed to be being a mother to. >> you've really got to quit jumping your cuffs. you understand me? >> if lopez is struggling with the responsibilities of both adulthood and parenthood, the same might be true for the father of her two children, matthew west. he's currently incarcerated about 60 yards down the hall in the men's segregation unit for arguing with the jail nurse. >> adriana mobil lopez, my friend, my confidante, my baby's mama, my friend to me, sometimes. i love her to death, sometimes to the bitter bloody end. it could equal that. we have a very volatile relationship.

i've been to jail more times than i can sit here and waste y'all's film counting. i mean, i'm from tulsa, born and bred. there ain't nowhere i can go that i don't know someone. ain't a pod that i can go to in this jail that don't know me. i got felonies all over my face. i've got drug dealer stamped all over my mouth. >> in fact, drugs led west to two prior prison terms for possession with intent to distribute. a charge of domestic abuse against adriana while out on parole returned him to prison a third time. but the charge was later dismissed. >> that night it was one of them times adriana was trying to take the lead and i wasn't trying to give up the reins and it spun out of control until the neighbors called the police and the police came. >> we're like oil an water at times, we don't mix, but when we do, it's really good. so, i mean, we just finally decided that we should be together forever.

and he's here as well on the same case, strong-arm robbery, which doesn't sound very appealing to someone who's trying to get married, but hey, you know, to each his own. >> west is not only adriana's co-defendant on the creek county strong-arm robbery charge. he's also charged in tulsa county for unauthorized use of a vehicle. he, too, pled not guilty to all charges. five years older than adriana, he admits he has not been a positive influence on her. >> because of me and because of my lifestyle and because of the things, a lot of her negative things are because of me. she very much does follow me. at the same time, she likes to be the quarterback when i'm the quarterback and she likes to be the wide receiver when i'm the wide receiver and it just doesn't work. coming up -- >> i allowed my mom to raise my son almost just for the fact alone that i don't want to ruin their lives, i don't want to make their lives miserable by being a bad mom. >> adriana lopez thinks about the children she's left behind. and --

>> most of your problems start what, two inches below your nose. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> according to staff, crawford became uncooperative when told to get off the phone. >> at this point, she's telling the two male, the supervisor and the deputy, they can't touch her because it's rape and it's illegal for a male officer to touch her. of course, that's not the case. corporal desouza is giving her verbal orders she's not going for. me and the backup have our spray. corporal desouza puts the handcuffs on her, put her in the arm bar. she's uncomfortable, she can't move. she's not hurt. then she starts kicking. i inform her she is not allowed to kick, any assault is a criminal offense. so, we take it to the next step, where we're in the hallway, and you see that we're struggling with her. we're not taking her on the cart. she is too volatile.

the incident, and even though she says she never struck out at an officer, she will spend two weeks in segregation. adriana lopez's future has also come a bit more into focus. she has just accepted a deal for two years probation on her tulsa county charges of drug paraphernalia possession and resisting arrest, but now she's about to leave one jail for another. >> any words for matthew? >> love you, babe. i miss you. hurry up and do what you have to do and get to creek county. that's about it. >> soon to be on a van headed to the nearby creek county jail to face an additional charge of strong-arm robbery, lopez has left her tulsa county jail scrubs behind and changed into the clothes she was arrested in. the transfer policy requires her to leave much of her other possessions behind. >> that's it.

>> she's only allowed to take what will fit into a small yellow pouch. >> can i see the bags? that way i'll know if this will fit. i'm a tight squeezer, so i know i can squeeze some of this stuff in where you would just throw it in and it wouldn't fit. >> no, you don't know me, so you don't know how i pack stuff. >> you're a man. men usually don't pack very well. >> well, i've done plenty of road trips, so i know how to pack. >> as lopez struggles with packing her pouch -- >> will this fit? last thing. >> -- her fiance and co-defendant, matthew west, has just dedicated a work of in-cell graffiti to her. >> always and forever. it's something between me and adriana. that's a sacred heart, it's a symbol of passion. jesus is always holding a sacred heart. i have it tattooed in the middle of my chest.

i mean, it was bound to happen. it's a part of life. it's like, you know, i miss her. i mean, i miss -- it wouldn't matter if she was three cells down from me, i wouldn't have no contact with her, so i would miss her the same. >> you know, you're two peas in a pod. >> i do know that. i do. sometimes that's our blessing, and sometimes, ugh.
