former soldier also decries betray a rest in a city where no one talks without him would be lost talking to residents would be impossible especially with a camera they'd gone in the woods called the woods this is where they hang out they not out right now but this deceived this is where they all be hanging out. to see the drug era. they won't bother you the most the target african-american. with them business owner on a whole lot and. i will same but as log out of the old man ya know that's why i got to know. the people there really is a fake us man. i'm john. many overlaying silence to the fear of reprisals. they don't they don't talk. they disapprove.

they just arrested for not been in their resume pick them up all day charge and all kind of charge and. they don't want to do it no communication you know it always aggressive in loons never deal never told they didn't put in very big deal he said you know old person if you try to search you go in the woods and you know when this is still very very well they wont have bill money any want their money as it is about this when the bo bill decide they want a bill manage that loan they don't give a damn if you did the chores are not going to lock you up and lets you below it if you can beat it it could be to include those who are on the ladder is a good line of advice but not too unhappy. not a good car with no. two thousand in them to two thousand and fourteen and not.

course or just the courthouse. status. people to save leaders from saying man your parish. they come in pairs like coming back intact because they have jim crow mentality we all had. the african american is less of a man especially the male is less of a man. he wants to change that. the federal investigation is the first step but eventually in prison declines all interview requests. the sheriff isn't interested in any questions. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us average and ten times higher than germany which makes it a world record. of the sixty four sheriffs manages his own prison. they are

elected by fervent supporters. they don't do any explanation to anyone. for every prisoner the state pays twenty four dollars a day. the sheriff used that money as they see fit. to meet one of these powerful men next stop the forced parish one hundred thousand residents in cajun country. illegally. this morning the sheriffs asking about any new comers. and we have no one the process this morning. how many have you. it's ok and how many you have left the process just two more are there warrants or arrests arrests. and so person comes here and the booking officer takes over that points ten. start

booking anyone this morning. get a minute. ok. step out for me question back on this was good. and i'll visit lasted for two hours and in that time twelve people but in kosovo is it every cell is occupied and take out what. is it. every day our jail is beyond full we have a capacity of two hundred forty three beds that we can house here in this facility and at any given day we have between seventy five and a hundred twenty five inmates that are in other jails across the state of louisiana . i'm sure would not want her around town. it's in the catwalk or the corridor in the old analogy only when

a correctional officer has an accident or was in more than a perimeter next. to the system has one twisted detail funding is based on all key patients. the sheriffs compete to collect the most state every prisoner means cash. the uniqueness of the sheriff in the louisiana is that we are a separate constitutional unit of local government we are a ton of musts from the state and we were autonomy from other way branches of government we have our own budget we are able to raise our own funds weekend by police purchased property we can keep self generated revenue the next biggest area our responsibilities of running the jail the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job that there is that's elected i love it so much of a. in

a for twenty five years. it's the best job in the well but it requires the sheriff's to constantly find new clients. it was stored here with a bigger targets was warning or shoot first. alan evans expertise in arresting multiple people. after twenty years of patrol duty and when she took parish he knows the district well. fortunately. you know some days we only respond some days we'll raise tuner poil you know just don't arceo. me and you know it just becomes ago when the weather gets better like do you think bertie and sunny. usually going to risk more people. i think it was fourteen people.

in this intersection i rolled out to move the street fighting one on the way around with them all up we took into the title jail. must by the most other wrist parceling months or give them a lawful order to. disperse. they wouldn't aspires that we just start arresting people and finally everybody took off and lay off. so we ended up with fourteen of . alan sets a personal arrest record a council housing area where rent is low. for these folks down here they won't. they won't tell you one evil y.e.v. somebody so you can do it they don't think that. they're what they call a snitch. to him and people line up. in them when you come in here where years would bring several officers that were coming to work so the. first better crime reporter. hears this

a lot of disturbances. people. in years where it's drug related they are going over with. the suspects and then taken to which it's a prison. and when they get there they're rented to the sheriff. you don't want to go make a tour go see what it's like round and sail the well don't warms like this is it with your it. and it will show you around a bit. one thousand one hundred fifty prisoners are living in very basic conditions this is the way all over set up here you know it's all a whole whole like did about fifty in each one. and they did have a. brief race back to the south bay don't go anywhere i mean they are there

here twenty four seventh's. jay russell has just begun his second term as sheriff he knows prison regulations well he wrote them in his absence only one person can make decisions prison warden pat johnson. and usually there's someone out here with that guy but if not he can sit right here and he can watch the whole. all for. when there's all cameras and you know him so he's got to get out and he knows what's going on at all times just from sitting here. there are many cameras and only one god monitoring two hundred prisoners. beds and laid out closely there is no privy. to. what they have one. remand prisoners sleep beside convicted felons.

russell is full of ideas about how to reduce costs. where people would go visit him between glass top all these you know but over time technology has taken over that now we just do it on like i said you know b.t.o. visitation i don't know what comes in it well we don't have to search for many more on saturdays and sundays and it's cost effective not to be aware of it made and how we're doing all right which saves a lot of money and loan. maximum profit at any cost the sheriff will stop at nothing teacher the prisoners are put to work in here. you know they're getting about forty percent off what they're making but yet they're paying for their incarceration ok so it's a huge deal with those monies like i said do go back in the public say they go to law enforcement they go to our equipment our card salaries things of that nature so

they're basically paying us to put them back and. if they if they occur if they re a real thing and. we stand also we should at least be poems here which is very beneficial we did to remodel took all the walls out so you just got one clear look there to i'm going to pay. the sheriff maintains a relationship with every prisoner. no more you give back you know our friends our family a family you know. for twenty eight days twenty years have been locked up twenty. three to get home it's a. new look in the. light for many gays it's. so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about

what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well more chance with. a nice it's more neutral. in case you're new to the game this is how it works my economy is built around corporation corporations run washington the washington post media the

media. and voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. well i'll go with the big. game a no must is this sunday i'm not to run in the den so get the that's it would be theo i know there's no sellable kit by the time just. but. yeah he was in the school for growth of the sunday times not for myself indeed i must but i feel a lot of them behind it it must be on the cd is that our cd any of the young

militiaman got a veil off the trees. get a denim of him to get his beefy does this not just obey this that beat but i mean. did it look good you'll. get to live it up with other. politicians to do something anything. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be. that have to try to be for us this is like them before us three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the college. track city.

and these are the most profitable inmates that are awaiting release to work outside the prison but they return at night service manufacturing jobs or just it just depends on who are. they know where they need to be in the media is ok and once we have the jobs we take them to they pay a percentage of their salaries for their state for their baby for their housing for their transportation for their meals for all of that they go back to into the department to go to the chair stop so it's very profitable and that was a ok. these hundred eighty two million mason net profit us about a million dollars a year ok profit and once everything's paid for everything. you can the sheriff doesn't want to lose out on this lucrative business. it.

deserves a chance yeah absolutely you'd be sure you know stayed out for aggravation you know you know what a. crazy man and then. i wake at the layer of. many louisiana residents who've been to prison. all day all day for two and a half yes frank was in custody for a robbery he was involved in shootings that anyone on the street even in front of their own house is under suspicion really really they old run the risk of being checked yeah and i go to what sam radio you know they don't get no respect. he's talking about the police who patrol the area at walking pace.

that love. to have coffee for models video of people in the street. that would be seen at a cost is a lot of really your people in the street so you. new issued a new video. that you're going to try to make the. i was picked up. once and then laid all released and was picked up again. from. i was here. toward abir and the. baby was there at the store and i didn't see nobody. came in the store all you see with. my lawyer the. two distinctive features she said no so or so you lego or mark pointed out the pits and. he didn't

see anything as she was like we had ever made a full monsieur and he went to the store earlier. and then later. when i have years later i was released. two and a half years in custody made the twenty six year old father of five rights rap songs. about life for louisiana prisoners. bring. it conditionally were horrible showers dollar to mush very cold showers. you know. out there and there are so many innocent people because nobody paid attention. you

know like. no you know voice would be the most. to me is a chain of command you know us dollars which would last for as long as it did take was. from there you know they all worked together and i mean of. if nobody. is going. to get away with. this. franks is not an exceptional story. louisiana was late to abolish slavery but african-americans still had to fight for their rights. a cute guy the toll cute guy here. it was me and one nine hundred sixty three it was me. fifty four years ago. that was me. i was one of them who led to demonstrations and it was met by people

who would guns in and all of the stuff that people had in the middle sixty's to stop african-american kids from demonstrating from seeking the afghan civil rights . after years of political activity calvin johnson became the first black judge in louisiana. he's often dealt with sheriffs. or words i can use to to describe what i feel about that. but then you would have to cut those words out of this interview. because leave three in did the way to keep people in slavery was to use the justice system and they fixed laws such that the newly freed people for misleads would be put back in jail and then be forced to go back on the plantations and work is not dead they are.

a mean people of bad people it's it's that they are as much a a for lack of a better word victim of the system as the people who are in jail. it's all victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means always to to fund all the sales so the sheriff in those places all using that as a means to fund. the sheriff's self and his. to operate with he's using it for that purpose and the louisiana law the third time he did one of those things i just described you could go to jail for life. i would not do. that. steve

exemplifies the absurdity of the system in two thousand and seven he was arrested for driving under the influence in prison he learned that he was h. i.v. positive. you want to spend the money zero. zero zero zero zero because i was only inmate those want to go to the hospital. they feel like i would then important. yet when i was almost dead they they sent me if they would say me to hospital sooner. then. the infection. they would zouma. would probably wouldn't even be in there my spinal fluid built up my spine or column got up from my brain cavity pushed my brain open was pushing forward on the trying to push it through my face. as i reminded it was

about to pop out of sockets. on the backside and permanently damaged. i was in the hospital in they told me that i was a job very positive. told him i must have somebody else read. confused with man because i'm not a job. and they said yes you are. yeah . we need to talk about everything you know through your. last and. only me. steve returns to present but his treatments didn't begin until months later thanks to social workers like darren stanley prisoners can hope for medical care as a source we're going to figure out how to get that medication since you know blister pack says they they will do a chevy medication in

a blister pack. according to the sheriff's twenty four dollars per prisoner per day isn't enough to pay for hiv treatment louisiana was very odd compared to the other states it was very clear that we had a very big problem with our parish and city jails providing h.l.v. medication treatment to the inmates it was crystal clear you consider the culture of medication i could imagine there's a lot of aids i'd be proud of inmates there are not getting treatment. the old prison of new orleans is finally in the past it was one of the was just in the united states. the new prisoner looks like an office building. even inside it's very different. than our idea of our condition hypertension leading just want to make it easy you know every have been exposed to

. any venereal transmitted disease on in time the amount. health questionnaire is a brand new concept in louisiana prisons. the prison is proud of it that the procedure is still in its trial phase. it's not the sheriff but a prison spokesman who receives us. well the budget has changed it used to be based on what we called a per d.m. meaning that we would receive a certain amount from the city which supplies our budgie for the state when we had stayed in maids of so many dollars per inmate. that system we no longer use we receive a budget. just like many other agencies too and so we must operate within that budget to. take care of all of our operations here under the

system there was an incentive to have more inmates because the more you have the more money to get. outdated and inhumane. and an ambiguous indictment of the state's other prisons. with its new system new orleans wants to set a positive example but with a creative president in a state with established traditions independent parishes and the old awful sheriff's. office selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to buy the battle of. the new socks for the tell you that that because of the public but also the most important day. off the bad guys i think you

are not cool enough to buy air. the hawks that we along. with what. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the vicinity of the lawn awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what we want to do with the really packed a punch in the john oliver of our three americans doing the same we are apparently better than two thousand and six and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank very critical writing a seriously send us an e-mail.

the two thousand and eight economic crisis turned some countries into pigs these were the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policy is if you are in a situation of low bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results in new york city's will by the people gathered in greece to why they're all good people with you what do i. believe will be she.
