system. >> pelican bay does have a high quantity of very assaultive inmates. due to our mission at pelican bay, we are tasked with housing the worst inmates in the state of california. >> we house inmates that had problems programming in other institutions. they have disciplinarians, staff assaults, inmate assaults, conspiracy to commit assault, drug trafficking, you name it, and then we get them. >> pelican bay houses the most dangerous individuals in the state, yet the majority of the violence that occurs here can be attributed to a predatory phenomenon that permeates california's entire correctional system, the prison gang. prison gangs are estimated to be responsible for up to 75% of all violent assault and drug trafficking within the prison system. pelican bay's mission is to break the stranglehold of prison gangs throughout the state. in california, most convicts who are affiliated with prison gangs or are suspected of being affiliated with prison gangs are banished to pelican bay. inside this world, racial labeling and profiling is a commonly accepted p

it's a rescue video of a pelican that was stranded after hurricane sandy. >> how does a pelican get strandedfter a hurricane? it's a water bird. >> it's not clear whether it was injured or not, but these brown pelicans are native to the south and it's believed that hurricane sandy blew several of these pelicans to the rhode island area where they're not supposed to be. it's believed that they had a very long traumatizing journey. they shoot a net at it. . >> got him. >> and it falls into the water. >> i thought that was an air horn they were carrying. >> but then they go at it with a net, they completely miss it. [ bleep ]. >> so as they're trying to pull this off, one of the guys falls off. [ bleep ]. >> the pelican is still in the water, wrapped up in the net they threw at it. this guy has to go pick up his buddy. >> get on the boat. get on the ski. grab the back. you have to climb straight on the back. >> i'm feeling like this pelican might have been better off without these two guys. >> there he is. left left. no. get him. get him. >> all right dude. >> do they wind up saving this pelica

your thoughts on the new orleans pelicans. >> first of all, tom benson should rethink the thing afterphic. but the pelicans used to be a aaa baseball team in new orleans. >> i'm going to offer a real suggestion. how about new orleans take the name jazz back from utah, which makes no sense. because that's where they came from. and then utah changes its name to the rockies or the lakers or one of those giants. whatever's available. >> team swapping. >> that's what it is. name for naime spp speaking of trades, r.a. dicky stopped by the dicky show last night where jon stewart explained why his cy young win was bad news for the mets. >> this tremendous story, this tremendous success, i guess my question is how will the new york mets screw this up. i'm a long time mets fan and it does create a dilemma because when a player such as yourself comes along and has such grand success, there is in the back of your mind a feeling of like, no, no, dude, keep your head down, don't win the cy young, because if you do, they will sell you you on the open market. like you want you to be good, but not so

teda boyle is a retired lieutenant from pelican bay. she was a watch commander on the day of the riot. >> the kind of people that were there were guilty of some of the most heinous crimes. murder, strong-armed robbery, rape. >> within the 275-acre penitentiary is the security housing unit known as the shoe. a prison within a prison. shoe inmates spend about 22 hours of every day in solitary confinement. locked up in an 8 x 10 windowless cement cell with little human contact. inside the shoe are about 1,000 level-four prisoners, what boyle calls the worst of the worst. inmates that other wardens don't want or can't handle. dangerous gangs founded within the penal community. >> because of their gang leadership, they have the authority to authorize other people in the community to commit these types of crimes. >> and on that day two alleged gangs go to war. it's sunday, and it's raining. 200 shoe prisoners are released into b yard for exercise. boyle says that the entire prison is on edge dating back to a smaller racially charged riot six

that violence could be against other inmates or against officers. >> it was here in pelican bay's most secure unit that we came across perhaps the prison's most dangerous inmate. >> my name is scanvinski hymes. i got the name from my mother. she wanted me to have the name no other black man in america would have. >> hymes was originally sent to prison for possessing a weapon in a youth facility. at the time our cameras profiled him in 2000, he had been locked up for more than 12 years, almost half his life. >> everything is the same. nothing really changes too much. i mean, wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, go to the yard. when i get bored, i got -- i got to get into stuff, you know? >> the stuff hymes most frequently gets into is provoking officers to extract him from his cell. each inmate is assigned a security risk classification score based on his disciplinary record. [ bleep ] the average score ranges between 19 and 27 points. >> i probably have the highest classification score in this prison system, i'm over 2,000 points now. i have caught over 30, almost 40 felonies in pris

so they are like -- >> okay, then. >> the pelicans -- pelican, watch out here comes a pelican. >> i'moing to eat your shrimp. all of it. a mom and her child are hit by a car. >> seamless from basketball to kind of sexual to horrible in five seconds flat. >>> one more thing back to the holidays for a moment. i'm worried about how some of my friends are handling this santa thing. louis has an app that makes it look like santa is calling. when his son acts up the app activates. he says, no, he is not eating his vegetables. which is great. but first of all, louis is jewish. so he has no business playing the santa card in the first place. and what kind of a message is this to send to a kid. every time they do something wrong in december we say i'm going to tell santa. and while you're at it, tell santa dad where is a snitch. same thing with the elf on the shelf. you buy an elf doll and you move it to a new shelf in the house. the elf flies back to the north pole to report everything he sees to santa. and you can't touch the elf or it will lose its magic. much like mc hammer. it's a weird t

that violence could be against other inmates or against officers. >> it was here in pelican bay's mostecure unit that we came across perhaps the prison's most dangerous inmate. >> my name is scanvinski hymes. i got the name from my mother. she wanted me to have the name no other black man in america would have. >> hymes was originally sent to prison for possessing a weapon in a youth facility. at the time our cameras profiled him in 2000, he had been locked up for more than 12 years, almost half his life. >> everything is the same. nothing really changes too much. i mean, wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, go to the yard. when i get bored, i got -- i got to get into stuff, you know? >> the stuff hymes most frequently gets into is provoking officers to extract him from his cell. each inmate is assigned a security risk classification score based on his disciplinary record.

i charge pelican bay with racism, promoting inmate-on-inmate violence.live and the wicked shall perish. >> ever since it opened in 1989, pelican bay state prison in northern california has always had a reputation as one of the most violent and volatile penitentiaries in the nation. when we first visited the institution in 2000, it was under lockdown, still reeling from one of the worst prison riots in u.s. history. five years later, we went back inside pelican bay, where the staff has worked to curb gang activity and prevent violent outbreaks. but in an environment simmering with bitter rivalries and racial tension, finding any long-term solution is a never-ending battle.

i think that's what pelican bay is about. only the strongest are the ones that are going to make it, you know. >> while leon refuses to disavow loyalty to his gang, the prison sees a slow but steady flow of inmates who do through a process called debriefing. they not only break the code, they smash it to bits. >> it's basically when existing gang members want to get out of a gang inside a prison. and in order to do that, there's a whole debriefing process they have to go through. and it basically entails the inmate coming in and confessing everything's he's done with the gang and sometimes even, you know, throwing some people under the bus and confessing against other people. so it's really a deadly thing for someone to do inside a prison. >> when inmates debrief, they must write a lengthy account of their criminal history both in and out of prison. the review process can take months. but if accepted, the inmates will be allowed to live in the safety of a protective custody unit and be granted many more privileges than they w

they're not the most -- ah, pelican!m going to eat your shrimp. >> exactly. >>> a mom and her child are hit by a car. [ applause ] >> jimmy: went from basketball to kind of sexual to horrible in five seconds flat. and one more thing, back to the holidays for a moment, i'm a little worried about how some of my friends are handling the santa thing. my friend lewis has an app that makes it look like santa is calling. so whenever his son acts up, he activates the app, it shows santa -- he goes no, elijah isn't eating his vegetables. and then elijah eats his vegetables. which is great. but first of all, lewis is jewish, so he has no business playing the santa card in the first place. and secondly, what kind of a message is this kid? every time they do something wrong in the month of december, we immediately say i'm going to tell santa. while you're at it, tell santa daddy is a snitch. it's the same thing with this elf on a shelf. you know the elf on a shelf? you buy an elf doll. every night you move it to a new shelf in the h

as early as next season they will become the new orleans pelicans. better than the pigeons, i suppose. just some context. it's the louisiana state bird. the league's worst team went up against lebron james and the miami heat in the third. jordan crawford nailed a three. put the wizards up by seven. the heat crawled back. james with a chance to tie but misses. washington gets the rebound and the win 105-101 over miami, only their second win of the season. >>> a scare for the lakers. kobe bryant gets smacked in the face driving to the basket and goes down in pain but stays in the game. toney douglas hits from downtown. gives the rockets the lead. kobe gets the lakers within one. not enough. houston downs l.a. 107-105. when we come back why the statue of liberty remains off limits to tourists and then buckle up. oh, my goodness. look at who is in the driver's seat. we'll check out specially trained dogs who are hitting the road. at. we'll check out specially trained dogs who are hitting the road. it could also mean living with joint damage. help relieve

so why pelicans? louisiana, you may or may not know is the pelican state.rd and appears on the state flag and on the seal. the hornets moved to new orleans from charlotte in 2002. charlotte bobcats owner michael jordan told the charlotte observer, he would consider reclaiming the name if it was available again. >> the teams move and they keep the state name and then they end up -- >> something related to -- >> when we come back, some breaking economic numbers. we are just a few minutes away from productivity numbers for the third quarter. right now as we head to a break, take a look at u.s. equity futures still indicated higher, up about 36 points for those futures. >>> welcome back to squawk "squawk box," everybody. rick santelli is standing by at the cme in chicago, steve liesman is right here in studio with us. and rick, go ahead. take it away. >> all right. third quarter final. and here we go on the nonfarm productivity up 2.9. it's within a tenth or two of the expectation, anywhere from 2.7 to 2.8. no revision to our last look. this is the revision so

i don't know why they would name them the pelicans. >> because the pel cans because the brown pelicansel pelican is the state bird of louisiana. >> the lakers, the name from minnesota, yeah. i think theat president obama should intervene here the new orleans basketball team should be the new orleans sxraz. they should take that back from utah because who equates jazz with utah? >> well, i understand that they treat people that play jazz music in utah the same way as they treated witches in salem. >> michael jordan is interested in the hornets' name. it could become the charlotte hornets. >> what's point? >> good grief. >> speaking of names, we have to point out that cyprian is wearing the real name of the washington wizards a t-shirt on, the bullets. >> washington bullets. used to be the bullet. >> yeah. they have gone downhill. from the bullits to the wizard. finally, lots of people love the smell of a freshly opened box of pizza earthens so much so they might wear it as a perfume. that notion started as a joke. >> never do that. >> i wouldn't either. >> started on pizza hut's faceboo

inside pelican bay.est maximum security prison. >> i don't care if you're a peace officer, if you're the governor, if you're the president. if you do something to me, it's on. >> heims is a career-inmate with 19 of his 37 years spent behind bars. >> turn around. officers in several california prisons have gotten plenty of opportunities to document his bad behavior on video tape. while most inmates try to deal with prison life the best they can, heims has fought the system all the way. >> it's going to be like starting a whole new life. i can go nymph. i can get a pass port, i can do anything, if i want to. i'm not under the supervision of law enforcement, you know, at all times, like i have been. basically, i can do anything i want to. >> although he, ms has reached the end of his sentence, the stakes are gensz him. >> i think he is aware that if he kmits another crime and is prosecuted for that, it could very well be a third strike, which he would be looking at 25 to life. >> i'm too old now, you know.

this is their best estimation of what a new orleans pelicans logo could look like.e a peek at that and you'd want to play anywhere other than new orleans wearing a uniform like that. oh, well. okay. >>> coming up, the phrase is hurting cats. political columnist matt lewis explains why speaker john boehner has the most thankless job in washington. we're going to be right back here on "morning joe."

kelp were heaping food for flies, our long-nosed sand birds staying close to dry land; farther out, pelicans quick surprise and gulls scream urgently. the call was there: we fought the breakers out and rode their fury back, triumphant and again triumphant, till at last, ears stuffed with brine and heads a-spin like aging boxers battered, we flopped face down on hot sand, smelling sun and salt and steaming skin. your eyes were suddenly all sleep and love, there in the sun, with sea birds calling. the sky goes metal at the end, water, gray and hostile, lashing out between the day and night. plastic swans are threatened; deck chairs, yellow towels, barbecues stand naked to the peril, as if it were winter come by stealth. still later, in the lee of dark and warmth, we probe the ancient fear: at night the sea is safer under glass, the crude, wild thing half tamed to shed its past -- galleons sent to fifty fathoms, mountains hacked to rubble, cities stripped. at night, the sea, barbaric bellows stifled, sprawls outside the window, framed like a dark, unruly landscape. behind us is a darker kind of

migrating birds many of them go through israel on their way to africa so there are masses of cranes and pelicansin all sorts of birds. it's a whole surrounding, the whole country is very peaceful. my garden is very peaceful. it's not to say that things don't blow up, they do but it's not a frightening place and is certainly not a place where i have felt -- i have never been afraid. i've been cautious. i've never really been afraid there. that is one thing and i guess another one is an apartheid state, which is ridiculous. i think it's really the only place where jews, arabs and christians actually sit in even the same restaurants and go to the same stores and rub shoulders in the malls. it's very evident because people trust to reflect their belief so it's not difficult to know who's who and they are altogether. people on thursdays and friday mornings are at the mall. it's just packed and everybody is together. these are a couple of things so i guess the third one i would say is that israelis are bullies. it's a culture of people -- even the idea of the cactus with the sweet center, i know a cou
