unlike most new arrivals, he is sent immediately to administrative segregation, a 23-hour a day lockup unit for disruptive inmates. >> oh, i get the room with a view, huh? >> at the facility that he was housed at just prior coming to limon, he was found with a weapon, a homemade knife, so he did have some charges that were pending and, as a result, he just went straight into our segregation unit. >> msnbc, any time you need me i'll be here. >> we soon learned that schreiber did, in fact, like to talk. not only to our crew -- >> these people are threatening my very life -- >> he also had a lot to say to the correctional staff helping us set up for the interview. >> i'm sure you just stick that key in there and turn. it's not all that complicated, ma'am. >> oh, my. >> right now i'm really in fear for my life. >> are you ready to go? >> i'm not talking to you. i'm talking to the press right now. >> oh, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to steal your 15 seconds of fame. >> when he finished verbally sparring with the correctional staff, schreiber explained what brought him to prison. >> my original sex c

for most of that time, he's been housed in the jail's administrative segregation unit.s daily hour outside of his cell, he talks to one of his neighbors who did not wish to be on camera through his cell door. the two men discuss an incident earlier in the day involving officer stevenson and another inmate. although kelly says he did not witness it, he accuses officer stevenson of using excessive force while escorting the inmate back to his cell. >> you shouldn't do that man like that, man. that's playing too much. that's playing too much, man. >> officer stevenson says the inmate refused to return to his cell at the end of rec time. he denies doing anything wrong. >> i told the inmate he needed to get back to his room, he wouldn't. i went downstairs and put him in the escort hold, was bringing him up the steps. he decided he was going to hold on to the railing. so i drug him up the steps. >> what's the escort hold? >> grab them by the back of the arm with one hand and the wrist. mr. kelly, he's in a room where he couldn't have physically seen what i was doing to the inm

he was housed in the prison's administration segregation unit. >> i had about five or six charges. saying. my most biggest charge is dealing with a teenager, which i was 16 and she was like 15, i believe. i ended up, know what i'm saying, just dealing with both of them, the mom and the 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 hips, too. broke his collarbone, too. to me it wasn't no thing, it was just prison. you don't come here and work here and think it's cake. no, he ain't die. he just won't be a correction officer no more. >> despite his attitude, some at holman are trying to help wilson turn his life around. >> i've known kenneth for several years. a long time. 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 got a bad anger problem, know what i'm saying? angry because i'm in prison.

the anamosa state penitentiary in iowa, he was spending his third day in ad seg, the administrative segregation unit, also known as the hole. authorities say he stuffed this padlock inside a sock and brutally attacked another inmate with it. >> do you think you have a violent past, history, angry? what's the situation? >> i'm violent when i'm provoked. >> bullock is already serving a life sentence for kidnapping. but if the padlock assault charges stick, he could spend the next year in ad seg, where he would be locked in his cell 23 hours a day. >> i was in the wrong place at the wrong time. inmate has been assaulted, my defense to them was telling them that i was in the area. i was just pushed out of the way as the inmate was trying to get away from the person that assaulted him. >> bullock was anxiously awaiting a hearing with the prison's administrative law judge to plead his case. in the mean time, he let us know that while ad seg meant losing his television, the location of his cell, at least made it possible to keep up with current events. >> this cell right here in front of the police station

that's exactly where we met dennis hamilton, in the hole, solitary confinement in the administrative segregation unit at kern valley state prison. it was the second time his refusal to share a cell had landed him there. but his time in the hole was about to end. and he was scheduled to return to general population, where sharing a cell is mandatory. >> to me the cells are too small. i think the cell in itself breeds an environment for homosexuality. >> dennis hamilton was an unusual inmate. he just believed he didn't have to live with another man. i think he had a fear about living with another man. >> and to me it's like you don't even want these people in society, but you want me to feel safe inside a cell with this person. >> ironically other inmates might not feel safe around hamilton either. he's serving a life sentence for kidnapping, carjacking, robbery, and say salt with a deadly weapon. nine years in, he's only now decided to make his stand against taking a cell mate. >> there's no rule that says i have to take a cellie. two, i don't want to live with another man for the rest of my life. >>

but when they get into trouble here, they go to administrative segregation, a lockdown unit where they spend 23 hours a day in their cells. >> segregation is basically the jail within the prison. and that's where some of the more colorful, disruptive types are housed. >> one of those inmates is jonathan hall. serving 40 years for murder. >> take that camera somewhere else. >> our crew first encountered hall while interviewing another inmate a few doors down. >> this is what i think of your story. >> i believe he threw -- well, he threw a liquid substance under the door. it smelled somewhat suspicious, so we're going to go report that. yeah, he threw pee under the door. >> did he? >> yeah. >> better double-check. >> okay. >> we soon learn that hall's anger had really begun the day before. >> he 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 went up there and talked to him. he decided he would cooperate. we did restrain him, bring him ou

weaver's role in the aryan brotherhood is one of the reasons he has been housed in administrative segregation, a lockdown unit located on d cell house. >> that was part of the reason why -- that's part of the reason why we sent him over there. >> just his activity and his influence over the population being a leader within the stg group is enough reason to keep him over there. just at that. he can call shots and make we things happen and stand back in the shadows. >> think i don't understand is they put me in ad seg here thinking i can make a hit. how does that save that person? if anymore ad seg, he's still going to get hit. if i had the authority to do that, which i don't, but my past haunts me. and it's bloody. >>> coming up -- >> as far as the extortion, i think he's lying. >> nick compton's story comes under fire. and later -- >> you miss your mother? >> yes. i can't bring her back. >> we check in on one of the most memorable inmates to ever appear on "lockup." when your ie company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do, drive three-quarters of a

laudone's allegations, holloman and wright were taken from their cells in housing unit number two and moved to administrative segregation, where they were locked down without their tvs, forcing them to miss the super bowl. the next day lieutenant jim fox, the prison's gang intelligence coordinator, took over the investigation. >> hey, little. 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, t

administrative segregation. and general population, most inmates, wear the standard issue green. but in the women's general population units, an orange pullover has special meaning. >> the orange tops that you see some of the females have on are to indicate that they're pregnant. >> if anybody was fighting or there was a really big commotion going on, i have orange on so they'll mow she's pregnant and nobody else is pregnant and i guess it's to protect me. >> if there's a fight or anything happens in the wing, you want to easily be able to spot the pregnant females, make sure they're safe. they need to always be housed on the lower level. we don't want them going up and down stairs, you know, for their safety. >> la'quan brown is pregnant with her first child, a girl. >> yes, she's very active. she's really, really active. i think that's the best part of my day. feeling her move, knowing that she's okay, that's the best part of my day. >> being pregnant here is stressful with the different hormones and things i'm going through, but i keep it together. >> brown is unlikely to be leaving the jail before her baby is born. she

unit 2-c. it's like the jail within the jail. >> the disciplinary issues are so severe, to ensure the safety of detainees, you have to place them in administrative segregation. >> administrative segregation inmates are locked down 23 hours a day and are cuffed and shackled whenever they're out of the their cells. they are allowed only an hour a day. >> they can lose their hour if they don't follow the rules, don't make up their beds, if they're not ready for inspection, they lose their hour. >> one area of unit 2-c is even more isolated. >> behind me is what's called the bubble. that's for your highest of all profile cases. >> more regular ad seg inmates are allows to interact with others during rec time. bubble inmates must spend the one hour out of their cell in the rec yard alone. one of those housed in the bubble is norman smart. >> mr. smart was placed in there due to the fact that his case was all over the news. mr. smart was also well-trained in the martial arts. so we wanted to not only just protect mr. smart from the other detainees, but also protect the other detainees from mr. smart if there was a confrontation. >> i'm in the bubble, they call it

administrative segregation for coming on to a female staff member. timothy schrieber got 20 days for verbally abusing an officer. and the fun seems to be over for royanna freed as well. >> i'm moving to unit number six. i need a change. and there's another transgender over there and some over people i met when i started working in the kitchen. i don't know. i'm just tired of it over here. i'm getting caught taking my pillow on camera. look at that. i'm going to jail. >> what was that about? >> because you're not supposed to take your pillow with you, i don't know, from unit to unit. i don't know. >> and you thought you could get away with it? >> i did. i almost did, look. because it's like a big old hassle to get another one. anyway, oh well. how embarrassing, huh? anyway. yeah, this is what -- i've never moved before, so i don't know how to work this. >> with the transfer, royanna leaves behind the two other gay inmates who had become friends. robert burzee and michael cherry. >> royanna moved over to six, so -- so the trio's kind of split up. >> time to move on. start a new chapter, you know? >> you know, everybody is doing their own little thing, so we all make decisions that either be
