here's what people have been saying about redacted in the sixty's full on. the only show i go out of my way to. really packs a punch. is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than that and see people you never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank. cheerfully send us an e-mail.

field plot three hundred kilometers from new orleans far away from tourists jazz and muddy ground the small town is the gateway to state prisons in a city of seven thousand seven hundred arrests in two years a very large number of federal authorities investigate through this man. john came back to sampson. you know again. i'll come go pay a bribe i know. he's looking for witnesses. he was born here everyone knows him a. former soldier decries arrest in

a city where no one talks without him would be lost talking to residents would be impossible especially with a camera gone in the woods called the woods this is where they hang out they not out right now but this made all deceived this is where they all be hanging out. to see the error. then what do you the most the target african-american. with them to their own heart and not. only the same but as log out of jail man ya know that's why i got to know. the people there really is a fake us man. and john. many overlaying silence to the fear of reprisals. they don't get on top. they disapprove.

which arrest them for not then in their resume. they don't. communicate always aggressive. press and. as with the bill that's what they want. they don't give a damn if you did the georgia nut. low if you can beat a good beating. there's a good line of. god. not a good car with no. one to two thousand. and. eight.

just the courthouse. leaders from parish to. parish like coming back in time because they have jim crow mentality. the african american is the less of a man especially. a man. to change the. federal investigation is the. whole interview requests. the sheriff isn't interested in any questions. twice as high as the us average. which makes it a world record. of the sixty four sheriffs manages his prison. they are elected by fervent supporters. any

explanation to anyone. for every prisoner the state pays twenty four dollars a day. the sheriff used that money as they see fit. we leave plots to meet one of these powerful men next stop the forced parish one hundred thousand residents in cajun country. illegally good work this morning the sheriff's asking about it and you come as. and we have no one to process this morning right how many have you process so for us it's ok and how many you have left the process just two more are they warrants or arrest arrests. and so person comes here and the booking officer takes over that points to start booking anyone this morning. does get

a mins. ok. stefan forming question back on this want to go. down is out. and i'll visit lasted for two hours and in that time twelve people but incarcerated every cell is occupied it take out for. 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 one hundred twenty five inmates that are in other jails across the state of louisiana. i'm sure we don't want her around town. it's in the catwalk or the corridor in the old now in jail the only way the correctional officer has an accident is. in more than

a perimeter next. to the system has one. twisted detail funding is based on occupation. the sheriff's 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 must from the state and we were autonomy from other 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 dinner for twenty five years. it's the best job in the weld but it requires the

sheriff to constantly find new clients. it was stored here with a bigger targets was warning or through force. alan evans expertise in a resting multiple people. up to twenty years of patrol duty and was she to perish he knows the district well . you know some days we only rest but some days will return of toil you know just don't arceo. you know it just becomes ago when the weather gets better like being with us bertie and saudi. use we're going to risk more people. i think it was fourteen people right up here in this intersection i rolled out the movers fighting one on their way round them all

up we took into the bargain and jail. asked by the most other wrist a person must say oh what game allow floor to. disperse and they wouldn't aspires and we just start arresting people and finally everybody took off and lay off. so we ended up with fourteen of. ten alan sets a personal arrest record a council housing area where rent is love. for these folks down here they won't. they won't tell you only why you bet your book oh somebody so you can do it they go and think that. they're what they call a snitch. to him and people out. in them when you come in here we use we bring several officers or we're going to work something. first better across reported or here's this a lot of disturbances. people. years with drug related they are going over that

drove. the suspects and then taken to which it's a prison. and. they were here. and when they get there they're rented to the sheriff's. don't want to go make a tour go see what it's like around and say oh the well don't warms like this is it with ok you really. have it we'll show you around a bit ok. 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 always whole who likes it about fifty in each one. and they do have a. brief race and then put back to the south they don't go anywhere near there they're 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 in each dorms and 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 or what remand prisoners sleep beside convicted felons. russell

is full of ideas about how to reduce costs. where people would go visit him between glass talk only you know but over time technology has taken over that now we just do it on like a said you know b.t.o. visitation i don't know what comes in it will we don't have to search for many more on saturdays and sundays and it's cost effective not to realize that may and how we're doing all right which saves a lot of money and loan. the maximum profit at any cost the sheriff will stop at nothing teaching 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 moneys like to see it do go back in the public say they go to law enforcement they go to our equipment or coord 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 feeds you. we share all three steps usually poems are here here to three but there's still wanted to remodel through all walls out so you just got one clear it will fall one better suited i'm going to write it all just in a day. at the sheriff's maintains a relationship with every prisoner. no more hear back or no office or our family if i am an orphan for her for twenty eight days twenty year i have been locked up to a. pretty good home it's ok to look through. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last term. here at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for

me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into pigs these are the countries with we can recall a maze that needed austerity policies if you are in

a situation of flow bloat even the recession step. it is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results she saw lho said to new york city's will by the people gathered in bristol why they're all good people to see what you are doing to . be in full view she kilometers i mean to for legal. challenge must deal with this young girl who is always think it's the sound of a dog getting her. while the same measure is still in place to one of the consequences to weaken blue bird flu disputable who will first one of this is the truth be consider this is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision maker.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations run washington washington controls the media. the media control the. voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. these are the most profitable inmates they are awaiting release to work outside the prison but they return at night service manufacturing jobs or just it just depends on where they need where they need to be in the needy is ok and once we have the jobs we take them to and they pay a percentage of their salaries for their state for their baby further housing for

their transportation for their meals for all of that they go back to into the department to go into the chair so 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. deserves a chance yeah absolutely you be sure you know stayed out for aggravation you know they. created in and then. i can i just feel like.

many louisiana residents have been to prison. they ought to foot two and a half yes frank was in custody for a robbery he was involved in a huge anyone on the street even in front of their own house is under suspicion really really they all run the risk of being checked yeah and i go to what sam radio you know they don't get nobody. is talking about the police who patrol the area at walking pace. that low. if moderate video of people in the street. that would be seated at a cost is a lot of really your people in the street so yes you were shooting a new video. that you got shot of my god. i was picked up.

once and then laid all released and was picked up again. from. i was here. toward abir. was. the store owner i didn't see none. came in the stall you see with. my lawyer the. two distinctive features she said no so or so you go on the market cornered on the pits and. he didn't see anything as she was like we had ever made her from us yeah he went to the store earlier. and then later. when i have years later i was released. as in custody made the twenty six year old father of five writes rap songs.

about life for louisiana prisoners. bring. it conditionally were. showers dollar to mush very cold showers. or whatever. you know. they were there are so many innocent people because nobody paid attention. you know like. no voice would be the most. to me is a chain. local law enforcement is ridiculous million. from there you know they all work together and i mean of of 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 that 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 other 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. they all words.

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 then fix laws such that the newly freed people homeless needs 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 the jails all victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means

a ways to to fund the sales so the sheriff in those places all using that as a means to fund. the sheriff's self and his and was needs to operate when 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 and. 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 a chevy positive. you want to spend the money zero. zero. zero zero because i was only inmate those want

to go to the hospital. they feel like i would then report. to get when i was almost dead they they sent me if they would say me the hospital sooner. then that. the infection. they would sell my hair would probably wouldn't even be in there my spinal fluid built up my spine or calm got up to my brain cavity pushed my brain open was pushing forward on a chair in a push my face. as i reminded her was about to pop out of sockets repeat the optic nerve on the back side and permanent damage there. was in the hospital and they tell me that i was a job the positive. told him i must have somebody else's records confused with mine. because i'm not a job. and they said yes you are. i'm.

here to talk about everything. nothing. left and. so only me and. steve returns to present but his treatments didn't begin until months later thanks to social workers like darren stanley those prisoners can hope for medical care as a source of work and to figure out how to get that medication since you know blister pack and say 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 ideas on a heart condition hypertension need just want a kidney disease no ma'am and we haven't been exposed to. any venereal. diseases on a tiny amount. health questionnaire is a brand new concept in louisiana prisons. the prison is proud of it but 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 received 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 old system there was an incentive to have more inmates because the more you have the more money. outdated and inhumane. an unambiguous indictment of the state's other prisons. with its new system new orleans wants to set a positive example but with a creator president in

a state with established traditions independent parishes and old awful sheriffs. emon home dogs may not only be tasty but also. a ship. it was suggested no proof and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. and ten a study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that the advertising. really

increase the risk of cancer or means are known to infuse damage in the last intestine is it a sham skepticism they do not believe that this is is true by independent scientists so did the industry paid you for this i received some compensation for my time as was the others why is that i mean the lobby definitely didn't like what we were doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on seeing that floodgate. you're not back to. big business against health. this is starting to show us. all. in safety.

a plate for many flips over the years so i know the guy even saw. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spend be true to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on earth because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy breaks a chance with. a nice. here's what people have been saying about rejecting. the only show i go out of my way to. really pack them. all over a party america. we are apparently better than. to see.

heard of. the president of the world bank. sent us an email. is deeply divided as the crisis hits a boiling point. declares independence in the face so furious we're. blocking our. latest attack on this channel. the deadliest u.s. military combat operation of a trump administration reveals some sentences have no clue about america's troop presence in.
