of a high-profile murder, an orange county inmate could face the death penalty. >>> on any given day about 400 of the hundreds of inmates at california's orange county jail are being held on charges of murder. one of them is daniel wozniak, who because of his notoriety, is housed in a single cell at the central jail facility. >> it's small. but you've got the bed. i've got the bible. coffee, milk. jesus with me. >> wozniak has been accused of murdering two friends and dismembering one of them. >> lord, let me know my end, the number of my days, that i may learn how frail i am. you have given my days a short span. my life is nothing before you. >> while awaiting trial at the orange county jail, wozniak said he sought comfort from the bible. >> i've sworn with you like a passing stranger, a guest like all my ancestors, turn your gaze from me that i may find peace before i depart to be no more. so it's one of my favorite ones. >> why? >> it just touches home. to me, it's just how, exactly just how short life really is. it's -- it makes it a lot easier in here knowing, you know, our time here is just so short. you know. life is just a short time, but eternit

year, nearly 70,000 people make their way through one of the five facilities that comprise the orange county jail, up to 3,000 of them can be found at orange county's largest facility, theo lacey. one way to measure the challenge of managing such a large inmate population can be found in the theo lacey kitchen, where inmate workers prepare 9,000 meals per day. >> i've actually heard that if an inmate had to be incarcerated they prefer to come to orange county jail because they are fed well. they are fed more colorfully. and our nutritional guidelines and standards are the same as the rest of the state. but we put a lot of care and energy into what we do. >> while lower security level inmates eat in the chow hall, the majority of inmates are confined to their cells. their meals are delivered by inmate workers, like robert mason. >> really helps that i used to work at denny's. it makes me thankful where i am at because at least we get to come out three times a day. it passes the time a lot quicker. these guys are locked down 23 hours a day, 22 hours a day. time goes by real slow up there. that's wh

orange county. >> 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, the washing machine/shower, bird bath. >> with such close quarters, deputies constantly monit

. >> day-to-day management of the orange county jail in southern california is up to sheriff's deputies. some work permanently at the jail while most others rotate through, then return to street patrol. >> all right. let's line up. let's do a gear check. let's line up on the wall right here. >> a select group of deputies make up the emergency response team, a s.w.a.t.-like unit called to action when inmates refuse orders or pose an imminent threat. >> hang left. >> watch out, watch out, watch out. >> wielding a broken mop stick and other cleaning supplies, joseph etima, who has pled not guilty to a murder charge and is awaiting trial, has refused to return to his cell. >> he's upset because the hispanic inmates think he's black. he's saying he's not. he's saying he's hispanic. they don't want to program with him, so he wants out of there, and this is his way of doing it. we don't know what's going to happen once we get inside there. we don't know what the other inmates are going to do. when you go inside there, watch each other's back. handle any situation that arises. our job is not to

county's other side. the theo lacy jail is the largest of five jail facilities in the orange county system. it sits on 11 acres and has a capacity of more than 3,000 inmates. >> let's go. hands behind your back. back row go to the house. >> marc gonzales is one of them, and except for his jail-issued t-shirt and scrubs, he could easily be mistaken for any other fun-loving oc teenager. >> i love surfing. i love the ocean. it's the best. the promised land here. nothing could go wrong except for robbing a weed store and getting arrested. my mom is in a lot of shock right now. it's the first offense. my baby is robbing weed stores? what does he need that for? >> unlike most inmates in the orange county jail system who have not been convicted but are awaiting trial, gonzales pled guilty to robbery and received a one-year sentence. with good behavior he could be out in nine months, and if his family gets its way back in minnesota. >> i have a bunch of newspapers under my bed because my mom sent me a subscription because i wanted to stay updated with what was going on in minnesota, concert-wise an

. >> every week 1,200 men and women are arrested and booked into the orange county jail in southern california. some will be released in hours. others could be here for years, until their charges are resolved. they always begin their time at the intake center located at the central jail facility. >> orange county jail system is considered a mega jail. we have the ability to house over 7,000 inmates at one time. and the challenges we face pretty much reflect, to a certain degree, the challenges the community faces with gang affiliations, with drug abuse, mental problems, issues that would be better served in hospitals but given the current situation they end up in jails. >> since the new arrivals' charges might range from minor infractions to murder, deputies must be vigilant to ensure safety. >> the uncuffing process is probably the most dangerous. that's where if they're going to do something to us, they'll do it then. once they're uncuffed they have an opportunity to attack us if they want to. it's a lot of judging on our behalf to see where they're at, if they're going to try anything or no

on our first day of filming "extended stay" inside orange county jail in california, we covered the trauma of a young man's first day in jail. >> i'm in the orange county jail. i'm like in a room with no windows, no nothing. nobody -- i don't know what's going on. i don't know. >> when we met 20-year-old richard ruiz, he had already completed the booking process and his first court arraignment and was now engaged in another jailhouse ritual, the first call home. >> so i'm just sitting in a room. i don't know if it's light or daylight. i lose track of time. i get woken up by all of the slamming doors and stuff. like i don't know what's going on in here. i skip all meals because i don't want to eat. >> ruiz had been arrested 48 hours earlier for the first time in his life, charged with intent to sell narcotics. he hoped his father would be able and willing to bail him out. >> it's $2500. 10% of $25,000 bail. thank you, dad. all right. yep. i love you. bye. he doesn't deserve a phone call from here. but it's all my fault that i'm here. it's no one's fault but myself. >> there's a term that pe
