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

i think that's what pelican bay is about.nly 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 wou

that's what pelican bay is about. >> but we've met many openly gay inmates who have little or no fear about being who they are. >> yeah, they call me amy. >> why? >> i chose that name. i'm going to live my life as a girl. i've always felt like i was a girl. >> when we met matthew campbell, he was serving 12 years for armed robbery and assault at kentucky state penitentiary. but his troubles began much earlier. >> the first time i went to jail was 15 years old, i burned the elementary school down. it was pretty much downhill from here. >> as an openly gay man, campbell's time behind bars has had its challenges. >> being gay in prison is really hard. i mean, it's hard enough to do time in here. but the fact that everybody knows that you are gay, it is constant pressure for sex. you have a lot of people here that -- now that they're in prison, they resort to what they have to as far as sex. i have to say there's very few people here that are gay on the streets and gay in here as well. there's a lot of people that say they don't mess around. but then when they get you by themselves, it's

. >> at pelican bay we saw the inmate's guide to white light inning. >> a hand made illustration in white lightning. >> i found that in his cell, how to manufacture pure alcohol. what they're making there is ever clear, the 150 proof. that's not your regular pruno. a little more sophisticated. >> this is the final result. this here is about the equivalent of grain alcohol. extremely potent. >> how does this stuff taus? talk to me about the taste. >> white lightning tastes exactly like whiskey without the cut. some guys in prison will cut it with cool aid or something because it's too strong. then you have other inmates who just down it just raw. a lot of the guys who make this stuff, they fail to realize that the bacteria in what they're drinking gives them diseases because it's nothing but rotten fruit that this stuff is made from. >> correctional officers are constantly on the lookout. >> the officers are out there serging cells. they'll find it. three days later, the same cell, they're making alcohol again. it's constant. we have over 3,000 inmates. >>> coming up on "lockup raw". >> on

recently it had partnered with firms, including pelican bay, and dipping dots, whose parent company extendedredit to crumbs. they declined to comment on crumbs, a craze that's left a bad taste in investors' mouths. >> so many puns you could have used there, but you didn't and i respect you for it. >> reporter: yeah, it was an effort. >> i'm sure it was. >>> when i was a student i lived in a room not bigger than a jail cell, in fact it probably was about that size. i had to walk up several flights of stairs. that's not the case anymore, diana olick is live in the home of the terps, college park, maryland. the world has gotten you far, but what if you could see more of what you wanted to know? with fidelity's new active trader pro investing platform, the information that's important to you is all in one place, so finding more insight is easier. it's your idea powered by active trader pro. another way fidelity gives you a more powerful investing experience. call our specialists today to get up and running. >>> in today's realty check, some students in private housing may need a reality check. y

i filmed the pelican flying over the hill over the reservoir. i swim in the bay in aquatic park and walked this area many many times. it's a beautiful spot. it's a panoramic view. a fantastic place for a park. i also live on telegraph hill and a member of the telegraph hill dwellers and chair of the trees and birds committee and i would like to speak on behalf of the critters that are also going to love this park. the plan is to plant native plans, drought resistant and those plants will attract wonderful birds and bees. if you put up a hummingbird feeder in your yard, you will attract hummingbird. paulo can't be here today because he's working but he looks forward to hosting and leading bird walks in the park. he does that now on telegraph hill once a month. it's called feathered fridays. he does bird walks all along the hill and has found many many new species. he's looking forward to doing the same in this fantastic park. it's inspiring and i urge you to approve it. >> thank you very much. i'm going to call a few more speaking cards. >> supervisors. tough act
