in the administration of segregated units there is no routine, there can be gnosis -- consistent segregation policy because segregation is contradictory and inconsistent. racial segregation in the of forces had to end not because it was immoral as he believed it was bad because it was wasteful and impossible to implement logically. that is a remarkably fast change from 1945 to 1946 from a service that treats african-americans as, quote, as of >>--a sub species of the human family to someone who's about to become a general calling for the desegregation on the basis of efficiency. not to mention morality. that is in a span of six years. it swings because of the tuskegee airmen. the tuskegee airmen for those of you who don't know where the first military pilots of color in the united states. there was -- there were 15,000 african-americans and a small number of whites involved in this program to train african-american pilots in alabama during the war. 996 pilots graduated from the program. roughly 500 served overseas during the war. the remainder were either station in the united states and fig

hey, can you go down and pick up inmate holloman for me out of segregation? bring him to my office. we're probably unique in how we deal with the gangs out here. we've accepted the fact that there are going to be gangs and there's nothing we can do about it, so we try to control, you know, what they do. and we use the leaders a lot to control that. most of our leaders here have done a lot of time in our maximum security facility. they don't want to go back. and we hold that over their head. we tell them to keep their people in line or they're the first ones that are going to go down, because we know how gangs work. we know this gang member isn't going to do anything unless he's got it cleared to the top. come on in, have a seat. so you want to give me your story? >> well, i mean, to be honest, i don't really have one. i mean, i feel like this dude is just trying to get out of trouble. he knows who i am and i go under the bus every time. >> who was the other guy? >> wright. >> the other one that got him -- >> yeah. >> was he doing something to him? >> no, i mean, maybe. i mean, every

you're going to administrative segregation. we'll know -- we'll note it on the lockup order, basically, what happened was an ymt was assaulted in the gym. after we do a thorough search, pants that were located in your laundry bag contained a suspected bloodstains on the pants, so therefore pending the investigation, you're going to administrative segregation. because right now if we keep you in the gym, you jeopardize the integrity of that investigation. >> so i'm being written up for the fight? >> yeah. so that's what's going to happen. all righty? i'll get an officer to get you your clothes in just a minute. >> with a white suspect and a southern hispanic victim, officers are wary of retaliation that could explode into a race riot. >> hey, bart, step outside for he real quick. how many south siders? got to south siders over there? what's the dude that came from the local one? is that him? >> actually, he's right here with me. with these white boys right here. >> and then the dude to his right is a south sider as well. what's

the jail settings do not. >> we don't segregate by gangs, either.o you could have two bloods and a krip in the same cell. >> for the most part, they've got to get along. they're in a jail system, they're waiting to go to court and be deemed either innocent or guilty. until then, they're going to function in our system the way the sheriff wants it run. >> big bro. i want you to take bam bam. >> sergeant erby leads one of maricopa's special response teams. a s.w.a.t.-like unit of highly trained sheriff's deputies. >> you all want them cuffed and brought out of there? for right now we're going to put them in the holding tank until after we search. all right? you've got a green light. all right? let's go. >> now with suspected gang activity on the rise, the team has been called in to clean house. >> how are you doing, man? >> we have identified several individuals that we deem to be heads of certain races. we've got chicano rice. we've got the pisa race. and the white race. so when there's issues, we end up with basically wars. >> check your equipment.

we don't have to segregate. we don't have problems. even when we have instances where whites have had problems with blacks and blacks have problems with whites, we can usually work it out and get it talked out so it doesn't escalate into something where we have to take a whole cell house and turn it into all whites and all blacks. we just don't have that problem. >> there's another form of integration at indiana state that goes beyond race. in the residential treatment unit, selected inmates with a history of good behavior live with and serve as mentors to inmates with mental health issues. >> you like working the job? >> yeah, i like it. >> mentors like harrell form a very different sort of brotherhood with inmates like frank street. >> they're like everybody else. some of them just like for you to listen. >> we live in the country. right next door to that is my grandma and grandpa. >> a lot of times i feel their pain. these guys have had just terrible history. it can get frustrating as far as how other people look at them. my job is

regulations that removed the tax exempt status from some of the christian segregation academies that had opened in the south after brown versus board of education to kind of continue segregation under the guise of parochial school ng so you had all of these things coming together and then you had a sense that abortion could really symbolize broader issues of kind of cultural breakdown of of women's emancipation or kind of. the end of the nuclear family in traditional gender roles one thing that's really interesting and you know reporting on this internationally said a lot of light sometimes on what's going on locally one thing i noticed internationally is that in countries where abortion and contraception were associated with kind of feminism or women's rights you know for example in india access to abortion was. access to safe abortion. what was was passed under the guise of population control you know or in iran for example family planning was a way for men to control the size of their family you know similarly in saudi arabia where you can buy but by the morning after pill over th

he was housed in the prison's administration segregation unit. >> i had about five or six charges. my most biggest charge is dealing with a teenager which i was 16 and she was like 15 i believe. i ended up killing both of them, the mom and daughter. came in 15 years, and i got 15 more. >> originally convicted of rape and theft, wilson earned his second 15-year sentence while behind bars after he brutally beat a corrections officer. >> ended up, cracked his ribs, his jaw. think i did something to his hip and broke his collarbone too. to me it was no thing, it was prison. you don't come here and work here and think it's cake. no, he didn't die, he just won't be a correctional officer no more. >> despite his attitude, some at holman are trying to help wilson turn his life around. >> i have known him several years. he's a young man with a lot of anger problems. he acts out through his anger. that's what we're trying to deal with now. >> i have a bad anger problem, you know what i'm saying? i'm angry because i ain't with my family. i'm angry because of the way they treat you, the things

it was a segregated school, so we had 6000 kids from first grade to eighth grade. went home and told my parents, i will sing at chapel on friday. i got to wear my sunday addressed to school and by sunday issues. i tried to keep that on all day. i had no idea how they are arranged to be alive. tavis: we were talking about the fact that in agusta, ga., a place that small could give us a james brown and jesse norman. >> growing up in such a protective and loving community is something that i really enjoyed. i love talking about it even though i grew up in the time of segregated schools, in brown vs. board of education can about what i was already in first grade. it was a wonderful time for studying into being made to understand what i was, what each child was. it was in stilled by our parents at home and buy our teachers that were so interested and insistent upon our learning. we were kept after school, it was not because we had done something they considered to have been wrong, but we needed to study the encyclopedia of bad further. or we need to understand the forma

i do the segregation unit which is the hole. i do the tower detail which is uniforms, trash, and mopping. >> allen had recently applied for early release to a halfway house but was denied by the classification director. jail officials are not convinced he has come to terms with the violent charges that brought him to jail. >> there are major issues in his criminal history that he needs to address and be accountable for. >> allen has asked to speak to his caseworker to see how to get the reconsider. >> he's going to ask the questions he asked you. are you an addict and e have you addressed your anger behavior? >> as far as drinking and alcoholism, i remain on the 12 steps daily. >> that's not an answer for me. that just basically gives me ten pounds of bull crap in a five pound bag. that's all. you need to address mr. travis with facts. not, like, i'm going to. i want to go to or need to go to. you need to give him facts that says this is what i've done to make myself a more productive person and to address what potentially are l

it's pretty dull. >> peppe's time in segregation might be even more stressful.and the mother of his 16-month-old twins are having problems. >> me and my girlfriend, the babies mother, are not getting along right now. whatever she decides, i'll walk away from her. i would like to grow them up and everything, but if it's not meant to be with her, it's not meant to be with her. >> but peppe still has some hope for the future. >> i have had quite a life. really quite a life. i want to enjoy whatever life i have left, and i hope to return back to society, never do more crime and just be at peace with the world. >> now you reenter society coming straight out of jail, you found ways that didn't work, it doesn't mean that you fail. you made a living the best way you knew how, but it was just a bit more than the judge and the law could allow. coming out of jail, i couldn't put that on my resume. i understand your despair, tell them i was in prison, i was being rebuilt. i was in a state of repair. >> peppe's friend william allen, has another six months to serve on a year

. >> assault to avoid a issue or me getting cuffed up and taken to segregation and causing a security and everybody getting locked down and me catching a write-up over it, i choose to stay in my cell. take one whole sausage, slice it up like he has, long ways and you make quarters out of them and you cut that complete in half. sometimes i'll put honey on the sausage and put the cheese over the top of it and then cook it in a microwave for a minute so it melts it down and it makes a pretty good meal. it's better than the food they serve you in the chow hall. >> cooking in the cell is just one way he combats the pain of prison life. others seek ways to express their individuality. but david took things to a level unlike anything ever witnessed by "lockup" producers. >> i tattooed red the whites of my eyes. >> why? >> i don't know. the question is why not? everybody's got tattoos. everybody's got stretched heres. everybody's got this and that. you never seen anybody with the whites of their eyes tattooed. >> except for his cellmate, paul inman. >> it's like the final frontier. nobody has

tavis: segregation brings immediately to black-and-white as the old construct. and we live in the most multi, ethic america ever, as you travel, do you think we will make it? is the jury still out and are you certain that we will make it given that these tensions have cause for divides on a variety of issues, politically, socially and ethically? >> i am a hope aholic, and probably a fool, but that's probably also bragging. because being a fool is the highest praise you can claim as an actor. you are to see the world upside down and ask questions and stuff like that. i am concerned about our divisions. i am concerned about how big the gap is, not just between who has and doesn't have and who knows and who doesn't. you know i have been teaching a long time at new york university. and that saddens me and upsets me. and not just that you learned enough to have a trade. but i see as many people don't get and your enterprise is evident every night is just the sheer join of learning. and to be cut off from that is not really not good. and in some ways i see that happen

know the first generation to have no recollection of the quote unquote bad old days of legalized segregation and so that's that's considered the definition of the hip hop generation and the impact that they've had and in fact you talk about the kind of the generational divide between the hip hop generation the civil rights generation going to play out what point. well sure i mean it's hard for people to remember now even though the election wasn't really that long ago but if you're going to correctly there were a lot of articles early on particularly during the primary about older black americans being somewhat suspicious of president obama or than senator obama and it wasn't necessarily that they didn't care for him but there was there was sort of a narrative that was playing out as i chronicled in party crashing it wasn't just in the case of president obama there were a number of races as you know including cory booker's race in new jersey when he ran for mayor the first time he got start james arthur davis as a race when he ran for congress for the first time he was actually he's actually

ended up getting a year of segregation. he's going to long-term segregation.he's going to get shipped out. he still has problems that he has to face here, even though he says he doesn't have to deal with them or there's no problems, he has problems. >> i try not to have regrets in life. but i kind of regret this move. brandy -- we still talk and we still communicate and stuff. but my family's like real, real mad at her and stuff because of the situation. but she just signed up for college today to start college. maybe she'll get her life straight, too. >> so, was it worth it? >> no, it wasn't worth it. might have been worth it at that minute, but it wasn't worth it. in the long run, no, it wasn't worth it.

23 hours a day in their cells. >> the segregation is the jail within the prison. that's where some of the more colorful, disruptive types are housed. >> one of those inmates is jonathan hall. serving 40 years for murder. our crew first encountered hall while interviewing another inmate a few doors down. >> i believe he threw a liquid substance under the door that smelled somewhat suspicious. we are going to report that. yeah. he threw pee under the door. >> hall's anger really begun the day before. >> started off yesterday night, he drew a bunch of gang graffiti on the walls. staff attempted to go in there, restrain him, take pictures of the graffiti. he refused. became belligerent. this morning i talked to him. decided woe cooperate. we did take photos. 30 minutes later, guessing because other offenders probably gave him a hard time he did back down, he discovered his windowed and started throwing fluids under his door. he will be abstracted. >> i know what's going to happen. that's why i'm doing it. >> you wanta be a star then? is that what you want to do? >> i
