officers have discovered a shank in his cell. we interviewed him the morning of his disciplinary hearing on the matter. he was still sleeping. >> i just found it. i didn't make it. i found it underneath the bed. i gave it to one of the guards. i don't know. it just turned up at the right time. i can't believe it but that's what happened. >> schreiber has opted to not defend himself at the hearing. >> it's too early for me. i don't -- i don't get up and do anything until like lunch and it's exactly what i want anyway. the hearing, you know? there's no point in me being there. >> so what's the answer? >> okay. would you read the notice for administrative segregation into the record? >> summary states schreiber has demonstrated a pattern of incorrigibility. he has been convicted of six violations and housed at nine different facilities in about a six-month period. >> how many occasions was there a homemade weapon? >> appears he had three different incidents. since he's been at this facility, he attempted to incite other offenders, m

when jail employees tried to find the non-existent leak, the inmates used shanks -- homemade knives -- to overpower the guards. the four then rushed into the jail's control room and opened all of the cells. the 18 other inmates stayed put. but the four simply walked out. >> they injured two of my corrections officers, a dispatcher and then they left out this front door. >> reporter: the fugitives then stole a car from this man, using a shank to cut him. >> everything happened so quick. you really don't have time to do anything. >> reporter: officers eventually caught up with two of the escapees, but this jailbreak comes as kansas and so many other states struggle to deal with thin budgets and overcrowded prisons, by shipping inmates, even violent felons, to county jails. there are more than 2 million people behind bars in the united states. the highest percentage in the world. and 21 states say they are at or over capacity. >> about half the states have taken significant measures to try to reduce the size and cost of their prison population but the others haven't gotten there yet. and

>> allegedly a shank. >> a piece about this big. i laugh at that. you know what i mean?going to do? piss someone off with that? if someone was coming at me like that, i laugh at them. yeah, i'm going to feel it, but it is nothing that can damage you. it is nothing to worry about. i would be more scared about a fist in the face than with that. >> today alejandro finds out if he completed his segregation time. >> hi, alejandro. >> hello. >> you know you're off disciplinary status today, right? but you also know you're going to get regressed. so you have to start step two over. we decided that we need to have you have six months of clear conduct before i can refer you to level v. >> what are the odds of me being eligible to go to level five once i've been referred? >> i can't tell you that. >> they are going to go back to see what you have done and how you acted out and the severity of the -- he has assaults on the staff here and, you know, it is his gang affiliation. it will probably take him some time to work his way out of this place. >> that's reality. i don't feel good

. >> every prison we film in, there's always a shank museum, a place where the authorities display all of the weapons that are confiscated by staff. homemade weapons the inmates have made from bed springs or melted down plastic. they're truly ingenious but deadly as well. >> at california's san quentin state prison, we saw how sophisticated some inmate weaponry can be. this homemade pistol is known as a zip gun. >> this portion is filled with groundup matchups. >> the two holes here, the inmate inserts a wick, inmate takes a plunger, pokes shrapnel in the open end. pieces of metal, groundup zippers. when the target walks by the cell, may it be an officer, inmate, the inmate lights this. when it goes down, strikes the match heads, basically acts like a firecracker and shoots the shrapnel out. >> the majority of inmate-manufactured weapons or shanks, designed for slashing and stabbing. the ease with which leathal weapons are made is shocking. this san quentin inmate who goes by the name speedy, agreed to show correctional staff and "lockup" cameras just how simple it can be. he starts by

stuff like that. >> his cell is thoroughly searched. >> they like to hide shanks or homemade knives in the boots. they will come in here and tear out the soles and put them in the bottom. they have 24 hours a day to think of where to put stuff, so it is an endless process. they are not allowed to have anything on the walls or the doors, so we will take it down. >> even something as seemingly harmless as a set of headphones can be considered contraband. >> is there a number on it? >> no. that is contraband and we are taking it. >> at riverbend every electronic item had to be documented and approved by the officials. there was no record of the headphones so they were confiscated by the search team. >> later, he is led back to his cell. >> we followed him back to the cell really having no idea how he would react. cell searches are fairly common, so we weren't expecting anything in particular. as it turned out to, headphones were really a big deal. inmates have so little when they are in prison, that the slightest thing becomes a precious possession. >> why did you take my headphones? >> t

nice little point. >> that's a metal shank. these are the plastics. >> where there's one, there's sure to be two. >> we go for the vital areas, you know, kidneys, liver. we'd go, you know, for the heart, the neck, the face. we try to go for kill shots because we want to send a message, we're going to come at you strong and try to put you in a box. >> we later learn that gang members are not only taught how to stab but how to be stabbed. >> i've heard inmates tell me about how they will intentionally take a cold shower. what happens when you take a cold shower? you jump in there, you turn it on and the shock of the body, you recoil, you draw yourself in. but, you see, but when you get stabbed, it's that same feeling. it's that same trauma, that same shock that goes through the body is what the inmates tell me. and as a result of that, if you flinch, if you draw in in that split second, you can be very, very vulnerable. so they train themselves not to flinch but to lean forward into the violence. >> every day, you know, going out

then it goes on further, for them to put that they have one shank.ey call it a banger one on the tier. you would be surprised how many kites go out. there's thousands going out i assume every day through court, medical movement. every avenue you can think of. >> kite traffic is like the information super highway for inmates. it's almost impossible to stop. carpenter and sandoval turned it to their own advantage. seizing the right kite can help investigators shut down a gang war before it happens. >> it's excellent information for us. they keep track of their infantry, weapons and are able to plan. you know of anybody trying to take rank, we find out right away. certain gangs have certain openings. as soon as we see that, we know who it is. i come on the division. at the end, they leave that division. >> a lot of time, it's not about them worrying about us catching it. it's about getting it to the right person. that's more important than getting caught. >> they discover a threat developing on the compound. they have seized numerous kites pointing to a

and tried to stab another inmate with a unique homemade shank. >> he actually fabricated this out of a piece of a pencil sharpener. you can see the rivet right in there. he attached a paper clip and ran it back, put some plastic cellophane on it, put a rubber band around it to make it more easy to handle specifically when it gets full of blood if you were to slice somebody. he actually admitted he put this on there so he could have some control once he sliced the individual. he's pretty ingenious as far as how he makes weapons. >> the inmate is 30-year-old christopher shiverdecker and his ability to craft ingenious weapons isn't the only thing that makes him memorable. >> the first time i met him, i was quite shocked by his appearance. i had never seen anybody before with a giant bullet hole in his forehead. >> i got that long, long time ago. it's just a bullet hole. it's like a bullet hole. >> shiverdecker has had plenty of time to amass tattoos an learn the ways of prison. at an age when most boys collect baseball cards, shiverdecker was collecting convictions. >> first time i real

the officer opened the door, came out with a shank. lucky i have a hard head and just cut me in the back. sent me to the hospital. came back to work this day. i'm going to see about -- i just come do my job. i'm not -- i don't want to act like them, you know? >> he says he doesn't take it personal. >> would you take it personally if someone stabbed you in the head? >> oh, definitely. probably retaliate, you know? >> you get a little change of environment. we're moving today? >> where? >> we're going to the level five. >> my last 60 days are going to be over there? >> my last 60 days was i could get a little bit of interaction with people before i get out to society because 12 years of super max is not -- well, actually 16 years, so it's not a good transition to go before, you know. i'm to too dangerous to go to level five, how am i not too dangerous to go to population? >> i don't want you to go with any false impressions. what's going to happen is you are still six/five and they're going to review you. any change in your custody level

i was walking toward him, and i had the homemade shank in my left hand. i swung and hit it through his right lung. he fell off of the stool. and i was stabbing through his arms to get to his vital organs. i wanted to put so many holes in him that there was no chance he could survive. my philosophy has always been, if you put enough holes in them, they can't plug them all, and chances are they're going to die. >> hughley was sentenced to death for the killing of the counselor and transferred to brushy mountain. >> hughley represents a particular, i guess, challenge for the department. because not only did he kill on the outside but he's killed on the inside. >> with his execution date looming, hughley will soon be transported to death row. >> if somebody who commits premeditated first degree murder tells you they have remorse, they are a liar. flat. it's impossible to commit premeditated first-degree murder and turn around and say you have remorse for it. how are you going to be remorseful about something you intended to do? >>> coming up, inmates enter pr

you got up in the morning, you'd take a couple of magazines, go out and carry your shank wherever you want. you didn't know what was going to happen. so you was going to pack yourself with trouble. >> i've been up here 11 years. the majority of the holes that you see around us are mine. i've seen officers beat up. i've seen inmates killed. i've seen them stabbed. i've seen bloody fights out here. >> one man who knows stateville better than most is captain kenneth morgan. he's worked here more than 28 years. he's seen the violent potential of the prison at its worst. >> we had a lot of problems with the gangs here at stateville carrying shanks, assaulting staff, assaulting other inmates. >> where are you going? >> we had an officer by the name of officer kush. probably one of the best officers i ever knew. he was returning from chow, going back to "g" dorm. on his way back there was a couple inmates back here hiding, they was waiting on him. they hit him in the head in this area right in here and they dumped his body right down here. this is where they dumped the body. >> officer kush

and worse why because we have too many foreigners in our territory threatening to withdraw from the shank and border free agreement by no coincidence at a time when europe is seeing an influx of refugees fleeing conflicts in north africa and the middle east this is a. shift so we will have to seeing the what we do is. knows pretty well that he was elected in two thousand and seven only because he was able to catch. up on a shelf and know the situation. some say that what was once a protest vote is now a more permanent part of the french political spectrum pointed out there is certainly a part of the electorate who vote for the reasons of dissent but i think it must now be recognised him if it's difficult to accept that the vote for the national front is increasingly a vote of support. the increasing prominence of right wing rhetoric in france especially the lead up to the presidential elections is clear also more difficult to decipher is whether this grows support for the right reflects the direction of french a subtle values has stated or is simply a kneejerk reaction to everything the f

france threatens to pull out of the shank and travels less tough but one of the powers of granted within the initiative critics say undermines the dog's principle of european unity. in egypt thousands of businesses are expected to descend on tucker square friday and rally day sales and that are holding the revolution many feel the fight for democracy has been replaced by a scramble for power. and the arrests of eighteen bursty students running against tuition hikes in canada triggers warnings that police tactics when you drive discontent and fuel national protests. around the world and around the clock you're watching are taking a highly controversial cyber security act and this is now a step closer to becoming law following a u.s. congress approval process now heads to the senate where the white house has already threatened to veto the bill because the storm of reaction among internet users using it of infringing on users' privacy and civil liberties is going to chicken reports now from washington. cisco would make it legal for service providers like google microsoft facebook to funnel

one thing we learned was the inmates said what they are doing is taking their shanks to the cage. they are putting them on the floor. what we are doing today is following up on what occurred on level 6 last week. several members overpowered an officer in the recreation area, took the keys from her and stabbed a rival numerous times. as a result of that, we initiated shake downs. we completed level 6 yesterday. we are headed to level 5 to conduct interviews to see if there's follow up information or weapons here to see if they are going to continue. if any assaults are going to occur, the likelihood is it might occur in this unit. the inmates have the opportunity for activity. they can come out of their cells, so if there's going to be retaliation, it's possible it would happen here. >> this is where it all starts off. what they do is come over here, right here. they will start working it. working it. take a piece how big they want it. they work it and work it until it cuts into the metal. whatever they get toothpaste and soap and layer it. anytime you come in here, they can see th

he's been a closed inmate for nearly a year after being caught with a shank. >> yeah, look. the dimensions just right, because it fell over a little bit, but it fit in there and it turned. bowden, you want to explain this? why you got a homemade cuff key in your property? >> there's nothing to explain, l.t. you found it in my property, you know. >> okay. >> i can't explain it. >> why did you make it? >> in case i need it. >> need it for what? >> i don't know, l.a., you know. nothing that really, you know. something might happen at a certain time and i might need it. you know, i might be -- >> you're going to escape with it, is that what you're going to do? >> no, not going to escape. >> i'm going to have you write a statement, you understand? we're going to house him alone, immediately put him on heightened security, okay? >> later, bowden explained, he made the key from a battery. >> you take the outside casing. you have to roll it, you know what i'm saying, so you can grip it. that's what i'm rolling it for. >> have you ever held a cuff key? >> truthfully, i make them one
