my name is danielle hutchins. i'm from the association of bay area governments and i just wanted to respond to mr. jacks' opening question about what else we need to do to be prepared for a next earthquake. i would like to advocate for a regional perspective. obviously cities must be prepared, neighborhoods must be prepared to take care of their own cities to bring those back. but we have a number of regional issues that we're going to face and lifelines and our utilities and road networks, housing, regional economic development. and i think it's really important we look at that as our bay area region, as our bay area identity. so along those lines i wanted to -- passed out an invitation to a workshop where we're going to begin to look at some of those regional issues. it will be at november 1 at ames. i hope everyone can attend. >> the importance at looking at a regional level is half of our work force lives outside of san francisco. so looking from a regional perspective, i think that would be really important t

. >> few people know that better than orange county sheriff sandra hutchins. among other things, she runs orange county's other gated community. the orange county jail. >> it is dynamic. every day is a bit different. so you constantly have to be re-evaluating that and the folks work in the housing areas are very astute at identifying problems early on and that's the key. you're dealing with a population that doesn't want to be there, they're not necessarily there with people they like, they're probably facing some very challenging times in their lives. >> the greatest challenge for many inmates in the orange county jail is uncertainty. unlike prison inmates, who have already been convicted and sentenced for crimes they have committed, most jail inmates stand charged with crimes, and are still working their cases through the court system. the process can take years. so some try to make their jail cells home. >> this is the living room right here. we keep the books and the magazines and trash. this is the kitchen where we eat and everything. this is the bathroom

sandra hutchins was appointed and later elected as orange county sheriff. >> there were some folks whon the jail. the folks involved with chamberlain are no longer with us, and so we did our own investigation -- internal investigation and dealt with that and did quite a few reforms in the jail. >> those reforms included the removal of all privacy walls in the housing units and the removal of tvs and other electronic devices in security centers that could distract deputies. new state-of-the-art surveillance cameras have also been installed throughout the jail. there's been an increase in staff training, and supervisors are now required to be more directly involved in routine activities. >> i guess if there's a silver lining to this tragic homicide, it's the fact that the orange county sheriff's department and the orange county jail are better than they've ever been before, staffed by the highest qualified professionals who are dedicated to their profession. >> the changes have not gone unnoticed. even carlstrom admits that life in jail has improved. >> the respect level is unbelievable

among those allowed to visit are family members and heather hutchins, his girlfriend, whom he adoptedo protect his wealth. at a hearing last week, trial judge jeffrey kolbath explained why he wanted such tight security measures. >> the thing i'm most concerned about right now, is he a flight risk? and mr. goodman seems to be the perfect candidate to be a flight risk. >> reporter: but the defense insists he is not a flight risk and will follow all of the rules imposed by the court as he spends the length of his appeal in the comfort of his palatial home under tight controls. mark potter, nbc news, miami. >>> now here is lester. >>> talk show host wendy williams, quickly becoming a household name with her tv show, new line of accessories and a new movie. she has been building her career for years. >> reporter: this wednesday marks the 500th episode of the wendy williams show. her television show in the third season, but williams not new to the ear waair waves. she spent more than 20 years as a female shock jock. some are calling her a kinder, gentler wendy. well before 10:00 in the morn

reporter: still to be decided is an issue involving goodman's girlfriend, 42-year-old heather h hutchinsted as a daughter to protect his wealth. another court must still decide if she becomes a beneficiary of trust money set aside for goodman's biological children. if that occurs, the rules of goodman's release could change. now, the sheriff's office here says that goodman will not be released until all those security measures can be put in place at his home including the hiring of those deputies to monitor him. we're told that could happen perhaps as early as today or tomorrow. matt? >> all right, mark potter in wellington, florida, this morning. mark, thank you very much. >>> it's 7:34. let's get a check of the weather from al. >> thanks so much, matt. we've got some basketball girls here. what's your team? you guys did pretty well. what champs are you? wow! you're all-island champs. very nice. let's check your weather. we'll show you it's a little on the cool side if you make your way through new england. 50s and 60s for highs today. we're looking for 70s and 80s through texas. 90s to
