with me when he was up on the segregation unit and he said, you know, i really want a chance at the rtu unit, i want to start making changes in my life. you know, we're pretty particular about who we take in. the bottom line on this unit is that there can be no violence. >> i think this unit is the vehicle that i've been waiting for. i think that i'm ready for it because now that my system is beginning to settle, this will be the best time to capitalize at this moment. >> remember, you're trying to change your past. you've been going down a certain road for many years and you're trying to walk a different road. all right. do your time a little differently than you have in the what, last eight or nine years? you're going to be one of our stars. >> that's right. >> i know that. i know that. okay? >> i can come up here and i can get my stuff together. so i won't have to relapse back into a condition that forbids me from being this free again. there is that form of freedom up here. so i come out here and play basketball by myself, about half hour to an hour as long as it takes me to vent that fr

temporary holding cell, john philbeck's transfer from indiana state prison's residential treatment unit or rtu, to a general population dorm is finally ready to happen. >> go out this way. >> just be cool. >> unit 18 to "e" dorm. did you get everything? >> yeah. >> how have you been doing? >> all right. >> so far? you'll do all right. it's always good to see them come down from rtu. it's like another step. they're doing a little bit better. come out here and get to be around a bunch more people. i met philbeck when he first came to the facility up on rtu. he was really quiet up there. when he first came, wouldn't talk to nobody. but he's opened up quite a bit and i think that helped him a lot. >> i'll holler back at you, man. >> you know what it's going to cost you, right? >> ricky beauchamp is still in rtu due to his earn cutting compulsion. but today, anticipating a visit from a girlfriend he hasn't seen in 20 years, beauchamp is focused on a more productive form of cutting. >> i'm going to get a haircut, maybe, because i've had enough bad haircuts. i can't do my hair that way. i've got a bi

counseling and medication, the rtu's ultimate goal is to integrate these inmates into general population. dennis profitt is one of the psychologists who works in the unit the rtu program is set up on a three-phase system. the initial phase is set up to receive offenders who generally have been isolated from other offenders because of having been living in segregation. so generally in phase one, a person stays to themselves a lot. phase two is where they're really introduced to the rest of the unit. they have chow together in the day room, they rec together. rehab together. have a lot more groups. so we're getting them oriented to being more socially involved. so the final phase is phase three, and it's set up on ten steps. the first step allowing them to leave the unit all by themselves if they choose, and then each successive step opens them up a little more to general population. so we are gradually moving them back into dealing with general population and the stress involved. >> joe has spent a year in the rtu. >> the last six months i have been kind of easing out with like two or three people at a time that i hang around with or walk and talk with
