7:10 pm
years. i could wait five years. i could do that. you know? >> but if they're convicted styx will still have to deal with her own prison sentence, a reality kelley mcnaughton is quick to point out. >> i'm the legal defender for everybody. i'm telling her exactly what she is looking at. your first time as felony 2? >> yeah. >> felony 2 presumptive is five years. minimum is four. max is ten. you'll do five years. >> i'm not doing five years. i'm not doing none of that. >> okay. well, um -- the judge may say -- >> i've never been in trouble before. i got no priors. >> no? i bet you were in here for driving under suspension. >> what's that? that's not -- >> so presumptive five years, minimum four. maximum ten. mitigated is three. i'm just being honest with you. because people can sugar coat it for you and stuff. >> i'm not doing it. no.

7:16 pm
i'll just walk away. i've tried so hard to just calm myself. i don't want to get in a fight and get new charges and hit the wall and break my hand like these retards like dumb ass girls, seriously stupid. you're going to hit a brick wall? really? >> smell it. >> i don't want to smell it. >> though styx has not been in jail long reality is starting to sink in. >> i'm just scared. i'm scared to death. it's like i sound so stupid. i just want my mom. i feel like i'm a little girl again. all there is to do in here is to think. think about why you're here, what you did wrong, you know what i mean? that's all there is to do. i can't sleep. i'm up all night long, all day long. and that's the worst feeling in the world is just being here all by yourself like completely alone. like yeah. there's 120 other girls but i don't know them.
7:17 pm
they're just people that are here. there's people that are stressing me out worse. >> but for the foreseeable future, styx will be stuck in g dorm adapting to life without heroin and to the drama playing out around her much of which is centered around the dorm's force of nature, kelley mcnaughton. >> kelley has all of her new friends so the whole year that i've known her i feel like i've been replaced. >> mcnaughton has transferred her affection from crystal to one of her so-called blondes jacqueline wadsworth. >> these other girls came in and know her for two or three months and i've been like brushed off to the side. >> you can't do that in front of crystal. not cool right now. >> to pick you up? >> no. >> you're so over sensitive. all of you girls are so over sensitive. she's not even looking. >> the other g dorm inmate that can rival mcnaughton when it
7:18 pm
comes to women is melissa molina. >> it's like a big candy store to me. me, i go all out. if i'm going to be with you we're going to go all out the first day. >> mcnaughton's respect for molina is evident in the nickname they gave her. >> daddy. it's crazy. mcnaughton made up that name for me. me and kelley kissed a couple times and she said how is this going to work? i'm not fem and you're not either so how is it going to look? but she is crazy. i love her. >> though molina and mcnaughton mibt g dorm's most dominant females they're after two very different things. >> inmate mcnaughton is intellectual, controls people more with intelligence where inmate molina, they call daddy, who would be more controlling sexually, she is more physically
7:19 pm
looks more like a male, takes on more of a male persona in the housing unit and may bring comfort or care to another female indicate, more sexually as i will be your protector and take care of you. mcnaughton is doing the same thing. however, she is doing it in a different way saying i'll take care of you. we'll be sisters. >> it's about being someone's bitch basically. someone is cleaning my bed, cleaning my area. it's not about [ bleep ]. girlfriends. it's gay. >> but for crystal deluna being mcnaughton's girlfriend was something more significant. >> i was really upset and i tried to take her name off my leg. crazy. >> she tried to dig my name out of her leg. it said kelley and she is trying to dig it out. >> i got a staple and i just scraped it up and down on my skin to try and pull out the ink. it didn't hurt because i was so upset. my whole body just went numb. i just blocked out the pain. i was upset because it's like a

7:24 pm
>> no. i'm a girlie girl. i think you need all the hair you can get. when you start shaving that hair underneath -- >> come back forward. no, no it won't. >> why not? >> that is an old wiv's tale. >> i've shaved my leg hairs since i was 12 and now i have three growing out of each follicle. >> some day we'll just have to ask god about that. i can't speak for him. he probably has a plan but i'm not sure what it is. >> with my hairy legs. >> yeah with your hairy legs. >> the ladies love it. they get in my bunk and they rub their leg up and down my leg hair and say it reminds them of their boyfriend at heem. just a win-win situation for me. really. >> having come off a serious heroin binge prior to her arrest for armed robbery, jessica styx is ready to focus on her appearance. >> can you really thin it out? we don't have razors. >> because it's really thick and

7:27 pm
pretty off the wall stuff. we scrub each other's backs. we sing. we just have fun. you know? it's like a big sorority house with a bunch of freaking gay people in freaking jail. and none of us have our degrees by the way so there is no shower for her and i told her come in with me in my shower and she did. everybody was all like kiss her molina and i started kissing her and giving everybody a show. >> it was really good. >> what do you mean? >> i mean it's good. i mean i always thought i would never do that. i've never been interested in that at all but i don't know. something about her that i liked. >> it was great. it was great for me, too. after that she fell in love with me. i didn't even know anything about her so i had to know

i really pissed her off. i got seven years to do. i'm going to meet different women along the way. i'm -- i might see a more finer, sexier one you know? they just keep getting better and younger. it's crazy. >> she is very smooth. she had me fooled. >> fooled enough to get molina's name tatooed on her forearm not just once but twice. >> i did it without even saying anything to her and i had this one girl start it. they just messed it up so bad that i stopped so she was like i'll redo it for you on your other arm so i did let her redo it. >> this is the girl you've known for one month? your first lesbian relationship? what were you thinking? >> you know what? i was thinking that she's such an amazing person and no matter what like i still wanted to have a friendship with her and that

7:53 pm
now shortly after her transfer to a new housing unit, she has injured the other hand. >> i went into the housing unit and i saw an officer talking with her and she seemed visibly upset at the time. i was standing by to see if there was any type of backlash on her behalf. i talked to the tower officer and she told me she got upset and hit a wall. got into a fight with the wall and the wall won. >> i fought the wall and the wall won. >> mcnaughton, however, disputes the officer's account of the injury and says it was an accident. >> i hit my hand on my door. why did you do that? trying to lockdown? >> no. it pops every time they get all mad. every time the door closes and then they don't want to pop it. so when it was going too fast, i turned around to grab it and it smashed. okay? i got caught in the damn thing. all they do is -- if i was in a dorm, you know -- >> oh. >> it wouldn't a situation. no, seriously! you know i hate being in the
7:54 pm
pods. >> i know, i know. but just think of it as like buying a condo. you want to try it out. >> i own a condo. >> see? exactly. i picked the right thing. >> i've got 11 more years in this county so she'll be somebody i'll see in my career. when are you leaving us? when are you leaving our company? >> everyone of you guys asks me. never. i'm here to stay. >> i don't think her charges ever get her really more than maybe months, maybe a year here and there. all right. we'll let you rest. i don't want you to hurt your hand. good night. >> i'll see you later. i'll be here. >> okay. so will i. >> that woman hates me. >> mcnaughton then admitted to us that her injury was self-inflicted. >> you did that yourself to get out of here? >> yeah. pretty [ bleep ], or messed up. excuse me. >> then she demonstrated how she did it. oh, no.
7:55 pm
it was this way. i smashed my hand in the thing. i'm claustrophobic. it's not going to work well for me in here. they know that. everybody knows i can't work in here. i can't live in here. >> do you think they're going to move you now? >> no, no. i just wanted to get out of here for like an hour. this is not going to move me out of the dorm. this just got me to walk down the hall out of this same room. usually, that tv is blaring. you have girls slamming cards. i mean, it drives me nuts! so just to get out of here for a minute, yeah. >> jessica styx was also recently transferred out of "g" dorm. but, today, she'll be dealing with the past. she has a visitation with her
7:56 pm
mother. >> i'm going to visit with my mommy. >> are you excited about that? >> i'm so excited. i haven't seen her in two weeks. i'm so excited. i can't wait. >> i can tell. you're smiling. >> i don't even see my mom. >> she's probably not here yet. we'll put you at a table and then when she comes in -- >> okay. it will probably make her feel better to see me better. you know? >> visitation at maricopa comes with two major restrictions. the inmate is handcuffed to the table and is not allowed to touch or be touched by their visitors. >> what happened to your hand? >> i broke it. >> how? >> i punched the wall. >> what? >> i know. i'm sorry. i got really mad. >> your bad hand? >> yeah. this is my bad hand. they're both bad. >> why did you punch the wall? >> because, mom, everything just was building up. and then -- i just -- something set me over the edge and i got pissed off. i got mad. i tried for two hours to calm myself down.
7:57 pm
i tried exercising and doing everything i could. i was still pissed off. i didn't want to go to the hole and get in trouble punching someone else. i've been praying every morning. i've been exercising like three times a day. healthier? do i look healthier? >> your face looks good. your face always looks good, except for them red eyes. >> oh, i know! i tried -- >> you look like a clown. >> i tried some new make-up. today i was bored and i tried using -- [ laughter ] it's like we all wear like weird makeup in here. nobody sees us. we never wear it outside. >> what's all over your arms? >> where? >> black on both of them. have you been writing on your arms? [ laughter ] >> huh? yes, you have. >> yeah, i've been writing on my arms. they're tattoos. this one is. >> how did you get a real one? >> don't talk about that in here. i'll get in trouble. someone gave me one. don't talk about that in here. i'll get in trouble. i will go to the hole for that. there's people watching. don't talk about that. i know.
7:58 pm
>> what the hell were you thinking? oh, my gosh. jessica. >> i'm sorry. >> what does the other one say? >> well, they messed up on my other one. i just redid it over here. it is just a scar. it's just a scar! >> would you say it is not permanent or it is? >> this one, well, this one is permanent. this one is a scar. it will go away. >> jessica! >> i know. what do you think jason will say about that? >> i think he's going to think you're retarded. >> i think he is going to think more than that. >> while styx might be explaining her tattoos for the rest of her life, her short time at maricopa has resulted in a positive milestone. >> today is one month clean. yeah. so you don't need to worry about me right now. this is the best place for me to be right now. and i don't want you to worry about me. i want you to just know that i'm okay. i'm safe.
7:59 pm
it sucks, yeah, it sucks, but it's my fault. drugs got me here, and it's my fault. i did this. and you know, i'm so sorry that i hurt you. i'm so sorry that you have to do this. i'm sorry! but i just think you should feel more comfortable knowing that i'm in here and i'm safe and i'm not out there and not knowing what i'm doing. you know? knowing that this will change me for the rest of my life. that this five, six months, whatever it may be, whatever time i get, is better than me still being out there doing what i was doing. and now i can be a mom. i can be a mom to my kids. i can be a good daughter. i can do the things i want to do. you know? i can go to school. you know what i mean? okay. we got to go. >> i love you.
