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 call the woods this way they hang out they not out right now but this deceived this is where they all be hanging out. to see the drug era. then one body you the most the target african-american. i put them business owner on a whole lot and not. on the same boat as log out of your man ya know that's why i got in the. middle and told the people there really is a fake us man. i'm john. many relaying siletz jews affair of reprisals. they don't they don't talk. they disapprove.

they would just arrest them for not then in their resume pick them up all day charge and all kind of charge and see if. they don't want to do it no communication you know is always aggressive and was never a deal never told they didn't put him down i babysit you know will dress and eat and try to search you go in those you know the nests is still very very well they won't have bill money any want their money as it is about as it is about bill that's what they wanted bill money didn't 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 this a. lot is a good line a mile from god two and a half years. not a good car with no. two thousand in them to two thousand. and eight.

or of course read it and just the courthouse on the shelf to d.s.l. status some 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 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 own any explanation to anyone. for every prisoner of 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. illegally 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 arrests. and so person comes here in the booking officer takes over that points stand a start booking anyone. small it. doesn't get

a minute. ok. step out for me pushing back almost want to go. first into the rest i'll visit lasted for two hours and in that time twelve people but in kosovo i took every cell is occupied and to take out what. to do. 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 . i'm sure we don't want her around town. it's a catwalk or corridor in the old analogy only where the correctional officer has

access to it was in more than a perimeter annex. 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 a ton of most from the state and we're 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 and 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 selected i love it so much of a dinner 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 shoot first. alan evans expertise in arresting multiple people. after twenty years of patrol duty and was she to parish he knows the district well . fortunately. you know some days we only rest for 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 with us bertie and sunny outside usually going to rest more people. i think it was fourteen people right up here in

this intersection i rolled out to move the street fighting one on the way round them all up we're talking about are going to jail. must by the most other risk department 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 lay off. so we ended up with fourteen of . ten alan sets a personal arrest record the council housing area where rent is low. well these folks down here they won't. they won't tell you tony will wave at you because somebody so you can do it they don't think that. they're what they call us needs. to talk to him and rent people out. in them when you come in here where years would bring several false or is it work on it works on them. first better crime reported or overhears this will. disturbances. people.

in years where it's 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 round and sail them well don't warms i guess 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 like fifty and one. and they do have a. race and then put back to the south they don't go anywhere and here they are

there here twenty four seventh's. 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. 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 previously. you have one remote. 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 many more on saturdays and sundays and it's cost effective not to be held out that may 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 kitchen 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 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 stand also we should at least be poems here here just way back there so when did the remodel took all the walls out so you just got one clear look there because i'm going to pay. the sheriff maintains a relationship with every prisoner. no more you give back our our friends our families the family you know. the twenty eight days you married twenty years have been locked up twenty. three to get home it's not ok for you. to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport does this i'm show business i'll see that.

it's the cradle of jazz. there are we have. this jazz feel. the city of climatic. alligators on the loose. are used by the at least twelve members of my friends close most. of street racing. this is. the best place in the world. when you don't see. why.

not ted. said. claiming to know. that. you speak french. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive the pentagon more mysterious than the cia. fort knox. is controlled by them one day impose the opening to. the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe

to pieces by artists like picasso and modigliani can't unsold inside this warehouse that's where the creep. it comes and it covers up deals with naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet because they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the odd business. these are the most profitable inmates they are awaiting release to work outside the prison but they return at 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 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 into the department to go into the chair stop so it's very profitable and that was space ok . these hundred eighty two million mice net profit us about a million dollars a year ok profit and once everything's paid for everything. you can to the sheriff doesn't want to lose out on this lucrative business. it. deserves a chance yeah i absolutely would be sure that you know stayed out for ambition to go down 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 the shooting anyone on the street even in front of their own house is under suspicion not really related if they all run the risk of being checked yeah and they go to what sound right you know you know they'll get the only thing. he's talking about the police who patrol the area at walking pace. that love. to. it's moderate video and people in the street. nowadays see it at a cost is a lot of really your people in history so yes new issued a new video. because you got shot of my god. i was picked up.

for once then little released and 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 seeing with. my lawyer. did he mention anything about ted to distinctive features she 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 for monsieur and he went to the store earlier. and then later. when i have years later i was released. through. two and a half years in custody he made the twenty six year old father of five right rap songs. songs about life for louisiana prisoners. three.

was different from. that conditionally were. showers dollar to mush very cold showers. 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 attained. you know. the 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 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 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 the jails of victims of the system because we are a poor state and we have used all kinds of means

a ways 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. but 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. didn't want to spend the money on. own their giraffes or because i was only inmate those

want to go to the house but. they feel like i would never report. yet when i was almost dead they they sent me if they would send me the hospital sooner. then that. the infection. they would sell my hair would probably wouldn't even be in there my spinal fluid build up my spine or calm got up from my brain cavity pushed my brain up and was pushing forward on the trying to push it through my face you had as i reminded her was about to pop out of sockets really piece of the optic nerve on the back side of permanent damage to. i 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 man because i'm not positive and they said yes you are.

time. yeah. you need to talk about everything. no three no you're on last and. only me and. steve returns to prison but his treatments didn't begin until months later thanks to social workers like darren stanley and prisoners can hope for medical care as a source we're going to figure out how to get that medication since you and a 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 you know my every have been exposed to. any venereal 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 oath 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 where they create a president in

a state with established traditions independent parishes and old awful sheriffs. all say we have a great scheme we need to strengthen before the free world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that's not part of five of the european championships at the very. no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from that. thousand zero zero zero zero his.

life drive. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got soaked through in the time. when you're going to get. along you've got to just punish the what you describe because the pilot's. license is not sufficient.

only one day before the millionth birthday because i just think about that in nine years and went from absolutely unknown piece of software to world shaking wall street transforming society busting. in court saying. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how. and we need somewhere i would speak. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london oh you'll not be a problem for a couple of employee like you will you know just not in the still give up food for the homeless. but you don't

really feel like some human being in that. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me and gave me a change of this book. it's

five pm here in moscow this is up to international in the headlines the. u.s. and israel continue to voice support for anti-government protesters in iran the six consecutive days of violent demonstrations in that country have left at least twenty one. palestinian teenager is facing twelve charges including assault after she punched two israeli soldiers got her story coming up and we have put opinion from both sides on the only going clashes in the region. or what we see. is incite people to come and claim. the israelis have used live they have used tear gas disproportionately. sacred.
