he's looking for witnesses. he was born here everyone knows him a. former soldier also decries i'll betray arrests 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 there would they called the woods this way to hang out they not out right now but this they'd all deceived this is where they all be hanging out. to see the drug era. then why bother you the most the target african-american. i put them business owner on a whole lot and. i'm the same as log out of your man ya know that's why i got to know. so. little of told the people there really is

a fake us man. i'm john. many relaying silents jews a fear of reprisals. they don't they don't talk. they just a free. cop they would just arrest them for not then in their resume pick them up all day charge and all kind of charge and if. they don't you know it no communication you know is always aggressive you know it's never deal never told me this puttin guy a big deal you say you know old person if you try to search you go you knows and you know the next says school for free when they wont have bill money yet you want their money as it is about as it is about bill that's what they want a bill man did act alone 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 that include there's a. lot is a good line of advice but i'm not too unhappy. not a good car with no. two thousand and eleven to two thousand or two and not

a. perry. or a course or just the courthouse on the shelf with the d.a.'s office davis. people to save leaders from saying man your parish. they come in pairs like coming back intact because they have jim crow mentality they always head. the african-american is the less of a man especially the male is less of a man. if 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 uttering 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 have 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 fourth parish one hundred thousand residents in cajun country. illegally. this morning the sheriff's asking about any new comers. and we have no one the process is more. how many have you process so far. it's ok and how many you have left the process just it's. two more are they warrants are arrest arrests. and

so person comes here in the booking officer takes over that points to start booking anyone small it. doesn't get a minute. ok. step out for me question back on this want to go. down is out. first interview the rest i'll visit lasted for two hours and in that time twelve people but in kosovo i took every cell is occupied it take out one hour or do it. every day our jill 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 we don't want her around town. it's in the cattle market a corridor in the old analogy only where the correctional officer has an accident since it was in more than a perimeter next. to the system has one twisted detail funding is based on occupation. said the sheriff compete to collect the most state every prisoner means cash. here's the uniqueness of the sheriff in the easy and it is that we are a separate constitutional unit of local government we are a ton of most from the state and we're a ton of most 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 there. our responsibilities of running the

jail the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is that's elected i love it so much i mean in a for twenty five years. it's the best job in the well 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 arresting multiple people. after twenty years of patrol duty and white sheet a parish he knows the district well. fortunately. you know some days we only rest before five some days we'll raise tuner poil you know just don't arceo. your hearing you know it just becomes

a go when the weather gets better like being a fish bertie and starting out. usually 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 in about are going to jail. us by the most all the rest of parceling must say oh we gave them a lawful order to. disperse they wouldn't aspires and we just started arresting people and finally everybody took off and. we ended up before taking a. kid allan sets a personal arrest record the council housing area where rent is low. blow his folks down here they will. they won't tell you tony will wave at you because somebody so you can do it they go think that. they're what they call us needs. help to him and right. people out. there when

you come in here where years we bring several officers at work going to work so. first better reported or here's this a lot of disturbances. people. years with drug related they are going over. the suspects and then taken to which it's a prison. and when they get there they're rented to the sheriff. you want to go make a tour go see what it's like around and say oh the well don't warms like this is who it ok you are 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 our whole goal like fifty

and each one. and i do have a. race and then put back to the south they don't go anywhere i mean they are there here twenty four seventh's if. 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 would think but if not he can sit right here and he can watch the whole. all for. when there's only four 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 privet see

. what they have or what remand prisoners sleep beside convicted felons. say russell has 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 well we don't have to search for meaning 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 on. the maximum profit at any cost the sheriff will stop at nothing teach him 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 card salaries things about nature so they're basically paying us to put them back in day because if they if they occur if they re a real thing and. we say all three should have used the poems here we have just read back here so we did the remodel took all the walls out so you just got one clear look like they're good i'm going to pay. the sheriff maintains a relationship with every prisoner. no more you did back or powerful so our family is a family not. a twenty eight days where twenty have been locked up twenty. three to get home it's not a. new look in the. russian

athletes taking part in a live picture remains controversial what awaits the olympians in south korea and more important waterway to them after they get sprung. closer to new york when you don't. see the teachers who are. there to court to get. what they need not through only ten spece to. make. love to no kill said. clementina no german did especially that to. alex you speak french. most of those are. the same. the same bell fulton you talk of

the sun is busy at the pump top scientists call. them a walk zone you on the idea that dropping bombs brings pins to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce talks for the tell you that will be gossip and public by file for the most important news today. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy your product. all the hawks that we along the border will watch. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night. full on. the only

show i go out of my way to talk you know what it's really packed a punch. yeah it's the john oliver of harvey americans do the same. apparently better than blue. sea people you've never heard of. jack tonight president of the world bank take. it seriously send us an email. and these are the most profitable inmates they are awaiting release to work outside the prison but they return night service jobs 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 park to go to 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. because the sheriff doesn't want to lose out on this lucrative business. deserves a chance yeah absolutely you'd be sure that you know stayed on it forever mr. craven and then. i can feel like you're all right. i. many louisiana residents have been to prison. all they all wanted for two and

a half yes frank was in custody for a robbery he was involved in. any one 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 they go to want to. you know they don't get nobody. is talking about the police who patrol the area at walking pace. that go. to fifteen 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 knew or should have new video. because you got shot of me. i was picked up. once the little relief. was picked up again. from. i was here.

and the. baby was there the stone i didn't see none. came in the store all these thing with. my lawyer. didn't mention anything about a tattoo distinctive features. so. so you go on mark good point on the pits and. he didn't say anything. like we had ever maze of for monsieur and he went to the store earlier. and then later. two and a half years later i was released. was going to be as in custody made the twenty six year old father of five right rap songs. songs about life a little. is he on a prisoner's. plea.

to conditionally were. sours dollar too much 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 going over. to me as a chain of command you know worst boss who was the last fourth minister to take those million. from there you know they all work together and i mean of of nobody could come 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. with me in one nine hundred sixty three that was me. fifty four years ago. that was me. i was one 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 now dance civil rights. after years of political activity calvin johnson became the first black judge in the easy ana. 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 lavery had indeed 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 it's not that 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 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 you 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 h. i v positive. you want to spend the money on. all their jobs. because i was only inmate there was one. i go to the hospital. they feel like i won then important. yet when i was almost

dead they they sent me if they would say me in the hospital sooner. then that then the infection. they would sell my. would probably wouldn't even be in their spinal fluid build up my spine or column got up from my brain cavity pushed my brain up and was pushing forward on the trying to push it through my face. as i reminded it was about to pop out of sockets the piece of the optic nerve on the back side as i'm permanently damaged. 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 positive and they said yes you are. time. yeah. you do everything you know there's no come on left and.

so on 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 social worker to figure out how to get that medication since you and a list of. who 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 age i'd be proud of the inmates there are not getting treatment. the old

prison of new orleans has finally in the past it was one of the was just in the united states. the new prisoner looks like an office building not even inside it's very different. than our idea of our condition high but things him leading to slaughter and kidney disease you know mary have you ever been exposed to. any venereal a sexually transmitted disease and i'm around on a time from our. health questionnaire is a brand new concept in louisiana presence. 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 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 established traditions independent parishes and old i also showed us.

about it under the rhythm of them a bit of fun but not quite in. upon him and if one came it up about this missile like a mummy a lot of money to be still slot. machine and so not a single thing. that. grabbed that and the meaning to

it doesn't have it doesn't know some of the amounts i need to the left of i don't know if i'm a guy doing something as innocent. and minimalist look i'm not that i'm open something as mcdonagh i don't. commit. one can image and then that means. the something else mccown somehow must go to some soul level to make out. he's. counting on i love to learn how to love the for that no no i got him. everybody i'm stephen both. hollywood guy suspects. proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v.

two sensed this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i've thought of. the owner windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have some fun every day americans come calling and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american to watch. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is 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 solution. me 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. i . like.
