angela in prison declines all interview requests. the sheriff isn't interested in on soaring and he 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. and 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. we leave to meet one of these powerful men next stop the forced parish one hundred thousand residents in cajun country. you're going to get illegal good work this morning the sheriff's asking about any new comers. and we have no one to process this morning right how many have you process so far. it's ok and how many

have left the process just two more are they warrants or arrests for us to feel sorry and so person comes here in the booking officer takes over that points center start booking anyone this morning. doesn't get a minute. ok. staff are forming question back on this want to go. rounds out. into the rest i'll visit lasted for two hours and in that time twelve people were incarcerated every cell is occupied and to take out for our children. every day our jails 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 . and so we don't want her around town. it's in the catwalk or the corridor in the old analogy the only way the correctional officer has access to it was in one in a perimeter next. to the system has one twisted detail funding is based on occupation. said the sheriff compete to collect the most state of every prisoner means cash. here's the uniqueness of the sheriff in the louisiana is that we are a separate constitutional unit of local government we are autonomy us from the state and we're autonomy from other branches of government we have our own budget we are able to raise our own funds weekend by police purchase property and

we can keep self generated revenue the next biggest area our responsibilities of running the jail the greatest job in the well it's as close to being a king as any job that there is that selected 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 it was sheet a parish he knows the district well. you know some days we only. restore five some days we'll raise two hundred twenty two

you know just don't r c. you know it just becomes a go when the weather gets better like this is purdy and sunny outside usually going to risk more people. i think it was fourteen people running appear in this intersection i rolled out into the street fighting one. way round them all the way to get into the target of jail. and i spy the most out of the rest of parceling nothing to give them a lawful order to. disperse. they wouldn't aspires that we just start arresting people and finally everybody took off and left so we ended up with fourteen of. alan sets a personal arrest record the council housing area where renters love. these folks down here they won't. they won't talk to you tony the way that you because

somebody so you can do think that. they're what they call a snitch. talk to people out. and then when you come in here we usually bring several houses that we're coming to work so . there's been a crime reported or used it's a lot of disturbances. people five. years ways drug related they argued over the droves. the suspects and then taken to witchy to prison. again. and when they get there they're rendered to the sheriff's. young want to go make a tour go see what it's like around and say a lot of them will don't warms i guess is doing ok. and then we'll show you rail a bit. ok. one thousand one hundred fifty prisoners are living in very basic

conditions this is the way all of our set up here you know our whole goal like fifty and one. and they did our. race back to the south they don't go anywhere i mean they're very here one course that was a. j. 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. but 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 privity. will. never want to 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 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 will we don't have to search for many more all saturdays and sundays and it's cost effective not to real now 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 teach him the prisoners a put the word. can hear. 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 us to do go back in the public say they go to law enforcement they go to our minor card salaries things about nature so they're basically paying us to put them back in jail because if they if they occur if they real real thing. we stone walls we should have used the policy here. to say but they're still wanted to remodel took all the walls out so you just got one clear little very good i'm going to say. that the sheriff maintains a relationship with every prisoner. no more you give back you know our focus our family my family you know hours twenty eight days twenty years i have been locked up twenty. three to get home. take. a look

in the. new venue don't. see the deli try to get a court to do. what they need not through only ten steps. let alone. said. let me know. that. if you speak french. let's send them all to new. jersey. los angeles the city of luxury and fame. but also an alarming number of people

living in the streets. a simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solutions a tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who

have it in the cells with simple song alone even if i come to niggas full else with zero they invite private companies to take over the utilities many bought a telescope of a lag solicitously got to be well on the going to go buy bevis's came out of us to quote them out. of more use than bill bill if bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than water it's about to hurt and the redistribution of all as to purchase their debt downwards do you want or. at that your sudden passing i phone the just learnt you were a south in taking your last. year at us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry to see. 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 bet. but then my feeling started 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 the feeling on the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with this one quite different i speak to you now as there are no other takers. just saying that mainstream media has met its maker. hey everybody i'm stephen baldwin gosh task hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. and do such things this is my buddy max the famous financial guru well i'm just

a little bit different i'm out of a room we could learn a there are no windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. on. the. book here's what people have been saying about redacted the night it's your possession is full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs a punch out of the delete yap is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same but we are apparently better than blue nothing that says i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank though ok i'm going to write a seriously he sent us an e-mail. 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 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 for their housing for their transportation for their meals for all of that they go back to into the department to go to the chairs up 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. because the sheriff doesn't want to lose out on this lucrative business. it. deserves a chance yeah i'll say which i absolutely you'd be sure you know stayed out of for ambition to get out there you know what

a. crazy man and then. i can see later on. many louisiana residents have been to prison. they are there 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 did they all 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. a call from moderate video of people in the street.

that would be seen at a cost is a lot of really your people in the street so yes new issued a new video and i. got shot of mccarthy. i was picked up. once and then they'd all released and was picked up again. from. i was here. toward a half year and i. was there at the store and i didn't see none. came in the store always thing with. my lawyer. did he mention anything about ted to distinctive features he said no so or so you lego or mark pointed out the pits and. he said that he didn't see anything as we had ever made a full monsieur and he went to the store earlier. and then later on. two and

a half years later i was released. through. two and a half years in custody and made the twenty six year old father of five right rap songs. songs about life for louisiana prisoners. bring. me my way. from the red. to conditionally were. showers dollar me for too much very cold showers. or whatever. who know. they were 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. in local law enforcement as the detectives need d.n.a.

. from there you know they all work together and i mean of of nobody could come in and see was 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. 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 fix laws such that the newly freed people form of this slaves would be put back in jail and then be forced to go back on the plantations and work is not dead they are. a main people of a 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 of victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means always to to fund our 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. 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 zero because i was only inmate those want to go to the house but. they feel like i would never reported. yet when i was almost dead they they sent me if they would say me the hospital sooner. then. the infection and they would tell my here i would probably wouldn't even been there my spinal fluid built up my spine or calm got up from my brain cavity pushed my brain open was pushing forward on a chair in a push face you had as i reminded her was about to pop out of sockets the piece of the optic nerve on the back side and permanently damaged. i was in the hospital

and they tell me that i was a job the positive. told and they must have somebody else's records confused with man because i'm not positive and they said yes you are. right. yeah. he did talk about everything you know there is no. one left and. only me and. steve returns to prison 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 of work and 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 ideas on a heart condition hypertension leading to sort of a kidney disease you know ma'am and we haven't been exposed to. any venereal a sexually transmitted disease and i'm around on a time when i'm out. 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 ost system there was an incentive to have more inmates because the more you have the

more money get. 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 creative president in a state with a stablish traditions independent parishes and old awful sheriffs. snow

worm good. stu good to it. youse knows. he still. in to pick up those so the poor fellows koso. about in under them i did but that's not a good idea no me my. team it up in the snow still

but i can know me a little more to be still slot. machine of so not a single thing. that. proud about and i think it doesn't it doesn't loom so soon from the throne on sunday the not done enough to hold the idea that something is in the. terminal this will go down. as the come on i'm. not coming in and now i'm working i'm coming down in the policeman. from some loose mccown somehow the most of the most i want to make out to. come in the night club one of the one of the from the one that hit him.

is a civilization just a tiny bit more advanced than we are that they can already pick up jerry springer or any other sit coms interview shows the nightly news they see what we're doing to our planet you know it isn't really a very pretty picture and so in addition to sending this chaotic messages that we use to communicate with one another we want to send a clear signal to the extraterrestrial that there's also some rationality on the world. los angeles the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets . the simple fact in l.a. use there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man phoned his own response to the problem and constructed

dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. i . was.
