. >> ad seg is just short for administrative segregation. like i said, in essence, it's a prison within a prison. >> inmates housed in ad seg are not allowed contact visits and must remain in their cells 23 hours a day. when they are allowed out, they are handcuffed and escorted by an officer. >> they are in trouble. most of the time they're in gangs and violence, so for our safety as well as everybody else's safety, we handcuff them behind their back and escort them everywhere they go. >> if you would have came yesterday, i just sent her a portrait i did of her, all red with hearts on it like valentines. she touched my heart. that's why i get weak. that's my son. i can't be with them for ten years. that's hard. >> angel rodriguez has spent two months in administrative segregation. he's automatically placed there because he's labeled a validated gang member. >> that means administration has labeled you as being a participant or an associate of those who are known as gang members. so if you're an associate in the administration's eyes, they w

. >> these inmates will be held in administrative segregation until isu's investigation has been completed. although the incident at tehachapi forced corcoran to alter its day-to-day routine, the arrival of new inmates never ceases. and for these new inmates, survival depends on knowing the rules and knowing your place. >> everything comes down to how you conduct yourself. and the overall code of how you conduct yourself is pathetic. but it's by race. you know, you're no longer considered -- you no longer become human. you become a color. >> in the four months we spent inside corcoran, our producers learned that for most inmates the safest place is with their own race. >> would you not hang out with an asian guy? >> yeah, i hang out with the asian guys. if people get into it with my people, it becomes a conflict between cellies. you have to either kill your cellie or he'll kill you. it's not worth it. >> what i might do is my personal feelings, but what my people or who i hang with might have a problem with it, you know. so i have to do what the community says because i'm just one man. and

he needs to stay out of administrative segregation because if he comes out he he will have a problem. >> as weaver predicted, the board decided that his role in the aryan brotherhood would make him too high a risk to return to general population. >> i guess that's about it. as you can see, this is no country club prison. there's nothing romantic about doing time. there's nothing cool about watching the years go by and knowing that most of them have been wasted. the next time one of your politicians talk about how easy we have it in there, just remember what i've shown you today and what i've said. thanks. >>> due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >>> there's always a sense of underlying fear, and i think that it's important to not ever forget that. >> in a world dictated by fear, some resort to violence. >> while i was on lockup, i was always involved in excessive violence. >> when i was stabbing him, i was talking [ bleep ]. i said, you feel kind of vulnerable now, don't you? >> others become victims. >> as a person in prison for rain, which i am, i am persecute
