some wardens have little direct contact with inmates.ers have a lot. >> i tell you what, how many meals you eat? but how many did you eat? >> warden greg culliver of the holman correctional facility in alabama falls into the latter category. >> we try and have a disciplined environment but we also try to be able to comingle, able to communicate and talk with people. so we're not so much at odds, staff and inmates. there's an old saying or adage, you know, that you can get more flies with sugar than salt. >> i got possession of the knife case in september. >> but then you have to realize too, the inmates that are here, they're not here for going to church. a lot of them have preyed on other people. >> warden culliver tells it like it is. he's an ex-correctional officer that became a warden and was down there in the trenches. >> you're all right. you look ragged, man. every time i see you, you look ragged. you don't try to do no better. you've been out here working all night. you need to shave [ bleep ]. >> i am. i'm going to shave. i'm a

warden did defend green, but it may have been too little too late. and then a few years later -- and ericsson, there's a whole little episode where in about 1875 gideon wells begins to raise some questions. and catesby jones from the "virginia" has a few questions. so gideon wells writes to ericsson and says what do you think of all this? i'm just trying to collect some data. and ericsson is literally -- you can't read his handwriting, he's so angry. and he says, we closed all these issues ten years ago, why are you talking about this? we all know -- and then he says, that the miserable lieutenant failed to win the battle because he was a coward and didn't pursue the "virginia." so. >> green never got it. >> he was commander of the "monitor" for a day or two. keeler served with him on the florida the rest of the war and they became good friends. but that wouldn't have been unusual i think for someone at that stage, because when the war ended there wasn't a lot of opportunity. i don't remember what he did careerwise after that. he was a naval academy

he's hitting my truck. >> the warden's truck is hit, but he is unharmed. >> shots fired! suspect takes off in his car once again. but now deputies wallace and comit are also on his tail. >> he reported shots fired and one of the rounds had struck his truck. >> the thought was we have to catch him before he gets to the village because it's time for the kids to get out of school. >> but the driver changes his route and turns off the main road. the other officers take the lead in the pursuit from peery. >> careful, guys, he's got a gun. >> deputy wallace maneuvers his vehicle to get the suspect off the road. >> and i forced him into the ditch area with my vehicle. >> off camera, deputy comit rams the suspect and his car is immobilized. but the driver won't wave the white flag. he pulls out his gun and starts blasting. >> i see deputy comit engage frenzer in gunfire. we were all screaming for him to put the gun down. we could see the gun. the gun was pointed in our direction. >> i know deputy wallace, warden peery and myself had fired rounds. it was undetermined whose round k

and as i spoke to his warden, his warden told me, you know, mr. harper, you sound like a very well intentioned young man. i said i want to change this young man's life. he had the courage to write me this letter. if you listen to the way it's written you realize it's a 16-year-old young man who is probably writing in a third or fourth grade level. made me think about did we fail brian or did brian fail us. and i didn't want to fail him. and the warden said well, mr. harper, you're not going to be able to do much for this young brian. i said i'm going to help him as soon as he gets out. you must not understand something. mr. harper, you're going to be dead before brian ever gets out. i said what do you mean. he said well, he was tried as an adult, he committed a heinous crime, and he's going nowhere. i won't be the warden when he gets out and you won't be alive. what that set me back in a way, to realize there are so many brians and briannas out there. it's up to us to catch them before we actually lose them. to grab them before they are gone, befo

deputy warden and then the warden.copy of the marriage license so that has to be obtained before you actually can get married. if you want a wedding ring, it has to be approved through the chaplain to get it to the property officer to put on your property. and basically that's it. >> i can turn that in as soon as possible? >> you can. you can. that's why i'm hand delivering it to you. >> once that happens, then i can have my visits, right? >> the policy allows you to have visits with your fiance based on the fact that she was an employee here before, i believe that she was denied before this whole marriage thing came up. ultimately, it's still going to be up to the warden, though, okay? but she'll be a member of your family then. okay? that makes it different. >> okay. >> all right. here it is. >> thank you. >> all right. >> see you. >> appreciate it. >>> next, the warden catches wind of david's plan. >> even if you get married, we cannot allow the visits. >> and conrad finally leaves pnm. just not the way he planned.

. >> today we tag along with deputy warden joni brown on her way to deal with one of level vi's most notorious inmates. >> they have an inmate who is refusing to leave his cell. at this point they're going to go in and give him a directive to cuff up and come out. if not, then we're planning the use of force for cell extraction. >> turn around and be restrained. >> no. >> if you don't turn around and be restrained we'll have to forcibly remove you from your cell. are you going to come out? >> what's going to happen now? >> they're going to instruct them to come in and remove him from the cell. >> 5:24 p.m., we're here for inmate kevin blanco 41918 who has refused several directions to be restrained and escorted out of his cell. at this time a cell extraction team has been set up to remove him from his cell. at this time we're going to proceed to the cell. blanco -- in your cell. >> here's the door cover. blanco is giving no response. >> blanco, turn around and be restrained. >> he covered it up. >> blanco, turn around and be restrained. chemical weapons will be deployed into your cel

lincoln himself had been warned of this by none other than john warden, the wounded commander of the monitor. warden was worried this sort of thing could be done, that a commando could jump onto the monitor's deck, wedge tuhe turrent, and capture the vessel somehow doing that. in fact, it's such a valuable weapon we cannot just risk it willy-nil willy-nilly. then there are people who write in offering to destroy the merrimac themselves. they are sort of what i would say 14th century runners of blackwater. for enough money, i will blow up the merrimac. they're very specific about their pricing, too. it's usually about $500,000 to blow up the merrimac. in fact, devillaroy writes in about this also. if you don't like my submarine, how about i will blow up enemy ships and you will pay me whatever those ships were worth. another frenchman writes in saying -- and again, he's extremely specific, saying that, i'm in france right now, but if the government pays for my expenses, pays for the ship, pays for me to command the ship, i get to pick my own crew, and if i get killed in u.s. service,

i just called the warden now.ith you getting it. >> i didn't want all of them. all i wanted was my medicine bag. i got the approval for it. >> okay. >> i need the medicine bag, cedar and herbs i need to do my prayers. a small leather pouch. >> okay. this is what the captain told me now. he will take you over there first thing in the morning but you can't get to it right now. >> i went over there and said right there -- sat right there. it was on the cart. >> they -- >> no. officer wouldn't let me have it. he said i don't think you are indian, you know. >> okay. all right. well, i don't see an issue with it. but -- i did call the warden. warden said okay. >> i just don't see the problem with being able to say prayers, you know. >> me either. me either. maybe i can talk to the manager and, you know, he would have time to have somebody walk you over there. >> if you walk me over there, i'll spread it out. i'll let the officer look at it. >> okay. all right. let me see what i can do. no promises. >> i appreciate it. j

she did preside as the warden over several executions. natasha is the death penalty policy director for the american civil liberties union of northern california. she previously worked as a deputy public defender in alameda county, and was a staff attorney with the california task force on criminal instructions. she is also working on the effort to abolish the death penalty in california and pursuing the goal of reforming capital sentencing procedure. before we start with the first question, we have a short video. i have been told that this is a video from the former warden of the mississippi prison. >> it is clear that the execution will take place and something happens. they may not come out and say that they did this, but they will tell the victim -- i am sorry. and then they say, i did this. and i leaned down to whisper in his ear, and i thought i could reach them because i wanted to make certain that he is at peace with themselves. i said it is not important for you to confess to this crime and is not important for anyone in this roo

that will get you hurt. >> warden, do you realize that by walking into that already -- >> they don't know what kind of offender you are. >> are you guys -- >> there's a whole bunch of offenders just like you out there and everybody knows what they are. but they're not standing on a tier telling everybody and threatening their families. you do what i told you this morning and keep your mouth shut and you'll make it here. you don't do it and you'll be in trouble. >> once you put me out there in the population, i'm going to get my ass beat down and end up in the infirmary. if not, i'll end up in a graveyard. >> listen to me, if legitimate threats are made against you, you need to report to these gentlemen and we'll deal with it accordingly. do you understand that? >> that is -- yes, i do. >> end of story. >> you're setting up me for a beating is what you are doing, if i'm lucky. >> listen to me while i'm talking to you. >> all right. our units are segregated. they don't interact with each other. so if we find a unit where you don't have enemies, where they don't know you, you can make i

i don't even see -- i thought the warden wrote you about it.ssment at this time due to this recent infraction, i can't make that recommendation for a transfer per your progress review here. >> you could see in his body language how upset he was. you know, he kind of sunk back and he clenched his jaw, and they released him, and we had planned on filming more of these hearings throughout the day and i just remember thinking, we need to follow him back to his cell. because i figured something was going to happen. >> and within seconds of gilbert returning to his cell, something did happen. and cameraman brian kelly continued to roll. >> i could see through the glass. as i was filming, i couldn't tell what he was picking up, but he was bending down to pick what turned out to be part of a chain link fence, and he just wound up like he was throwing a baseball and just launched it at the glass. i actually felt small pieces of glass hit the camera and hit myself and, you know, then the officer showed up and they tried to talk him down, and it was prett

bell is warden at riverbend. he's been on the job since 1995. >> it's the state of the art operation. and very proud of what it represents for the taxpayers and the state. >> let's go! chow time! >> the prison compound consists of six different housing units. maximum security inmates live in one, three, and four. nicknamed the high side. it's here you will find riverbend's most dangerous inmates. >> the screaming never stops. it drives people crazy. i've seen a young man come to prison to maximum security, completely sane. three years later, he was screaming and cutting his self. >> ask me what being back here is like. it's like asking a cancer patient how it feels to die slowly. be dehumanized, belittled on a day-to-day basis. >> every day i walk through those gates i'm fearful. anyone in this business for a little bit of time will actually tell you they have no fear is not being genuine with you. >> the corporal has been at riverbend for six years. he works in maximum security unit one. >> inmates here are basi

and the warden walks by one day sees my chess pieces on the table. you can't have those.f it. i would like somebody to give me one reason, just semi-intelligent reason, why it would hurt somebody to sit in a cell, locked in here by myself, with some cheese pieces. i ain't hurting nobody in the world. but that's d.o.c. for you. that's rehabilitation at its finest. >>> next on "lockup: raw" -- >> there is nothing i have done that god has not forgiven me for. >> a serial killer claims he found god. >> is it a greater sin to steal a cracker or kill someone? >> and another "lockup" inmate finds satan. >> in the name of satan, the ruler of the earth, i command the forces of darkness to bestow the infernal power upon me. ♪ made sure his credit score did not go bad ♪ ♪ with a free-credit-score-dot-com ♪ ♪ app that he had ♪ ♪ downloaded it in the himalayas ♪ ♪ while meditating like a true playa ♪ ♪ now when he's surfing down in chile'a ♪ ♪ he can see when his score is in danger ♪ ♪ if you're a mobile type on the go ♪ ♪ i suggest you take a tip from my bro ♪ ♪ and download the app

amazing smile unchanged after so many years on death row the meeting is monitored closely next to us a warden and the man responsible for media in the prison we are being listened to. and are warned we are given precisely one hour to interview thomas our time is short and this. business isn't. so nice and be. quite a blessing in comparison to the situation that we're faced with. for at least twenty years i did you notice the fourteen. years. sometime we we sit and complain back and figure out exactly how that is that we persevere. in light of the tremendous remember emotional psychological pressure that goes along with. such an excuse. how can one keep it together for twenty years while waiting for his execution thomas miller was thirty four when he ended up in prison is now sixty one. his life should have ended here in a death row cemetery much like more than four hundred other people over the past twenty years in texas. when we met him one thousand years ago he said that he only thought about one thing. the day of his death. the minute he would be executed. as this little. girl in the world

some members of the local samburu and turkana communities are undergoing training to be park wardens.they are to keep an eye on the surrounding savanna and persuade their neighbors to respect the animals back home in their villages. david daballen is certain that the wardens' broad knowledge of the region and their resourcefulness will help secure the areas surrounding the parks. potential poachers and their methods and understands all too well that they can be dangerous. >> we follow their steps, their footprints, and there's another time we call the kws and then there's another time when we rush to where the position they are. we kill them and sometimes we catch them. the local residents would like their fair share of the proceeds from wildlife tourism. they say the elephants will then be able to survive this difficult period. humans are the elephants' only natural enemy. but they could also be their best friend. >> making people stakeholders in nature is also the aim of a social entrepreneur we would like to introduce you to now. christian hiß runs a corporation that invests solely

warden was afraid this sort of thing could be done. commandos could jump on the monitor's deck, wedge the turnt and capture the vessel doing that. lincoln issues an order saying the monitor is not to go skylarking up to norfolk unattended. it is such a valuable weapon we can not risk it willy nilly. there are people offering to destroy the merrimac themselves. 19th century forerunners of blackwater. for enough money, they say, i will blow up the merrimac. they are specific about their pricing too. usually, about $500,000. in fact, brutus de villeroi writing in saying, i will blow up enemy ships and you will pay me whatever the ships were worth. another french man, ludwick dehoo says i am in france but if the government pays for my expenses, to the ship, for me to command the ship, i get to pick my own crew and if i get killed in u.s. service, my aged mother gets a $1200 pension for life ad if i am proven to be incompetent and you fire me, i get 160 acres of land. so it is win/win. he also is rather miffed because he writes to the presi
