the commissary's nothing. i'm not even depressed about that. $20 ain't nothing. t it's the point of my letters from my daughter. that's what gets me through. you know what i mean? i'm through, man. i won't talk no more. >> narrator: while segregation is hard on many inmates, diontray jackson now uses his time there to do what he does best -- build more muscle. during his time in general population, jackson was known for his extreme workout methods and staying fit for the fight. >> people see a weak spot, you know, they come for you. ain't no guns in here. [ chuckles ] >> narrator: and it was, in fact, a fight that landed jackson here. >> little altercation. came out. nobody hit me. i hit them. and they brought me down here for assaulting another inmate, 15 days, you know? you got to stay in shape. you got to stay militant. you got to stay alert. 'cause anything goes. i learned how to protect myself. >> narrator: though jackson stays in peak physical condition, he says he's as much a lover as he is a fighter. >> these are my letters i got this morning, my love lett

he said it had to do with the free of charge indigent commissary bag he receives from the jail. >> he i am nobody because i don't have a commissary bag. and i told her you are still a man, just like i am. and she said do something about it. and i picked up her bag and moved it toward the door. she pushed me, i pushed her back. i slapped her. punched her. she punched me. she kind of like fell and then she busted it open. and on the floor. and she's kicking me like this. and flailing like a whale trying to get away from me. trying to hit her. police came and stopped it. >> arguetta is ready to put their differences behind him. his release from santa rita is days away. >> if i am not in oakland, i can guarantee i won't be coming to jail. i want to be a waitress. sort of like prostitution. serving tables. interacting with people. you get your tips daily. if i want to refuse service to somebody, i will refuse service to somebody. >> for the time being. danielle benefield need not worry about getting along with others today. >> okay. get dressed. >> okay, i will get dressed. >> she is in se

we scan it through our system and fill the orders through the commissary. the items we have there are top brand items. they're not just your mom and pop items. >> order up some soap. got to have the stamps, you know, stamps more than likely, soaps, you know, because there might be a meal you might want to skip out on, believe me. you know? trust me. the hot cheetos and the soup. it's like a fusion, gives you that nice spice, the right texture. that's pretty good stuff right there. >> beau de'arborne likes commissary as much as anyone but feels there's room for improvement. >> i recommend there's a few items that can be added not only for the african-american types. but i've been using mayonnaise, for conditioner. literally, for my hair. a lot of breakage involved so i'm like, please, put some grease on here. love, peace, and hair grease. please. >> de'arborne's girlfriend and co-defendant michelle culberson is housed in orange county's women's wing. she and her cell mate stacie ortega care about their appearance, as well. but with limited funds they take a c

friend won't celebrate her birthday, she thought the least she could do was purchase a card from the commissaryut celebrating her birthday. i know how it feels, because i've spent three birthdays in here. the first time it wasn't fun. it still kind of warms your heart up that even though you didn't want to, someone still cared enough to get you just a little something. >> concepcion is being held while awaiting trial for the murder of her 2-year-old son, fox. he died one year earlier. the same night concepcion was celebrating her 25th birthday. ramirez and shanholtzer have no idea what concepcion has been charged with. >> it says, sweet, dorky, precious, unique, no other person has been born or will there be one that will be just like you. yes, god created you to be different from everyone else and that is why you are special. no one else has your point of view, your personality, character or passions. no one care for parents, siblings or friends like you can. no one else has your ideas, your talents, your abilities, your creativeness or unique point of view. there is truly nobody else like you

trash bags we get every day and the tampons i get at the commissary. >> and what about the highlighter? >> i got that from field day. >> what were you doing with a highlighter in the tampon? >> i had no idea it was in there. >> was it like this when you -- >> the way that the body of this writeup is, it's making it sound like mr. roundtree found an assembled sex toy. i'm asking for a dismissal on this. >> the hearings officer, sergeant gooch, places a call to the officer who wrote the disciplinary report. >> officer roundtree, you confiscated the items that she had, the highlighter and things of that? >> right. >> okay. when you collected the evidence on this, was this intact? >> the first time we saw her it was entact. when we went back in there, the rubber glove was taken off and i got everything and broke it down. >> may i ask you why you didn't collect the evidence when you first saw it? i mean -- >> we weren't looking for that. what we was looking for was tobacco or tobacco products when we came across that. >> so it was your assumption that this was a sexual toy? >> yes. yes, it

we try to cook for ourselves with stuff that we get from the commissary. we've made the burritos from hell. it's the best we can do with what we have here. there's like beef stew, chili beans, beans, rice. and a bunch of spices and stuff like that. and some cheese, of course. >> my dad always asked me what will we eat for the evening and i tell them mystery meat, because you never know what we're eating here. of course there's a menu but when you go, it doesn't look like what's on the menu. >> you've got chef boy r.j. >> we've become micro masters after a while and no open flame or anything but after trial and error, here we are. >> i don't know but i'm smelling some chicken. >> that's black beans. >> i was hoping for watermelon, collard greens, something. >> the hazards of neighbors and short walls. >> well, i'm in the santa fe level ii murph. which is just a minimum restrict unit, which is, you've got more movement than the level iiis. with me it's kind of hard because i got two kids by myself. my kids will ask me what i do to get in here. and i don't kno

the pruno wasn't his, he could lose 30 days of privileges, such as the ability to buy food from the commissarytation, and rec time. >> i'm going to have you read the report if you would. and tell me when you're done. you can read and understand english? >> i'm done. >> you're done. so you're willing to accept 309 days loss privileges? >> yes. >> do you waive your right to a hearing? >> yes, yes, yes. i just want to sign it and -- >> and you waive your right to a 24-hour waiting period? >> yes, yes. >> what i need you to do is sign here on the bottom line. okay. these are your copies. you can have them, do whatever you want with them. thank you very much. come on back. >> normally the inmate's going to be a little more concerned. not so easily and readily available to accept 30 days loss of privileges. he was definitely not the typical inmate that's received a write-up. >> corey long does not share vongushon's acceptance when it comes to his charges of four counts of assault with a firearm. >> i don't even know who that is. but let's see what they said about me. >> long has recently received pa

manipulate you into doing something you don't want to do, be that giving them sexual favors, food from the commissarybuy, different things like that. but at the end of the day we're all wearing blue jeans with a white stripe on them. we're all in prison for some law that we've broken. >> unlike most other sex offenders, higgins has stood up for himself. >> someone wants to make a big deal about my crime, i'll turn to them and look them in the face and ask, what exactly do you want to know about it? if this person thinks he's going to try to control me by holding that over my head, he's just made a terrible mistake. because i will absolutely confront him on that. and, oh, by the way, what's your crime? well, is that really better than what -- do you have less of a victim than what i had? you're in here for murder. at least my victim is still walking around, living and breathing. >> one reason higgins can get away with defending himself is because he's housed in a minimum security unit where many of the inmates have similar charges. people talking about a contract supposed to be it was a high-profile c

the commissary your families rely on closed a day a week. we can do better than that. great nation should we treating its military and military families. and by the way, cuts in other non-defense areas of the budget affect our troops and our military families as well. our military, part of what makes us best is we've got extraordinary recruits. but if we want the best qualified recruits, we shouldn't be cutting investments in education. we should be increasing our investments in education. our wounded warriors, our veterans, depend on new technologies for their recovery and their health care. so we shouldn't be slashing investments in science and medical research. we should continue to be the world leader in science and research. so that's why i'm going to keep on working to get rid of the sequester. you get up and do your jobs every day. let's make sure washington gets up and does its job. and what makes me frustrated is sometimes the very folks who say they stand with our military proudly, the same ones who are standing in the way of fixing the sequester. it's import

. >> morgan also earned the respect of other inmates as well as compensation in the form of commissarygoods by providing skilled services not often found in prison. among other things, he's a tailor. >> now stand up here on the chair. i ain't getting on my knees, honey. you got me twisted. i'm not getting on my knees. >> you do it any other time. >> [ bleep ] >> none of the straight inmates were embarrassed to be seen with peaches. and that was also unusual in a general population setting. >> for a gay man in prison, it's like disney land. you just don't know what ride to get on. my family goes, are you ready to come home? i said yeah i'm ready to come home, i just haven't earned my mickey mouse ears yet. so a couple more years and i've got my mickey mouse ears and i'm out the door. uh-huh. and i'm taking all the rides with me. i'll go ahead and fill out the paperwork and then i'll have you sign it. >> morgan also held a prison job as an inmate advocate. a sort of amateur lawyer for inmates facing sanctions for rule violations. >> on this i'm going to try to get you suspended sanctions

an example would be the prevalence of commissaries. they have plenty of walmarts and others. they are not trivially easy. they are cutting back on the compensation or at least the rate of growth of compensation for our volunteer force that has done so much on behalf of all the rest of us over the last 12 years and before. you add up all of those savings, which are more or less along the lines of what i would agree with an similar to the ideas that we had in our op ed, that is another $85 billion in savings. if you add those, we are up to about $105 billion in additional 10-year savings. the good news it is almost the amount the president is proposing to save over his tenure latest budget plan. we do not have to make a lot of cuts into military muscle. there is room for some cutting. in my recent book, i wound up advocating about $200 billion in 10 year savings. i was prepared to recommend certain specific weapons programs. we all are going to have different takes on what the right number of army divisions over grades or joint fighters we should purchase. my take was that in ad

reserved some severe criticism for the sequester that has cut a sway through the military, even closing camp pendleton's commissary for one additional day per week. he spoke of the troops' faithfulness and said that this nation would always be faithful to them. we'll continue to watch the president as he bids those troops farewell, but let's get to our panel. in atlanta is contributor goldie taylor, and here with me in new york is msnbc political analyst michael eric dyson. >> goldie, you're a former marine. if i can, i would like to play you something the president said just minutes ago. take a listen. >> i want you to hear it directly from me, the commander in chief. it undermines what this military stands for and it undermines what the marine corps stands for when sexual assault takes place within our units. and that's why we are going to work together, all of us, to stop these crimes of sexual assault and uphold the honor and the integrity that defines the finest military on earth. and that message is coming all the way from the top. >> there you had it, goldie. he said that message is coming to you from your

the other one, he actually gave compton commissary to pay off a debt to keep him from getting hurt. one calls we were listening to sounded kind of like he was playing a game on his mom. >> how so? >> how so? by telling her about the extortion to get the money to pay for his debts. it's common. they play their family like that all the time. and he received a conduct report for it. >> basically what he's saying, he interviewed the two people -- or interviewed the people, the addresses on the money orders my mom sent up here. so when he asked him, why is nick sending you money? obviously, they're not going to say the true reason why i'm -- they're not going to tell on themselves. so the obvious reason is to say, yeah, he owed it to us for whatever reason it was. so ralph not believing what i had to say but believing them wrote me up for it instead. >> the thing about with mr. compton, this ain't the first time he's tried to pull something, not only here but at other facilities. to try to get protective custody. it's one of them things where he got caught up this time. i've got other inf

. >> mcnaughton says inmates pay for the tattoos by giving her commissary items. >> unfortunately, my addiction is honey buns which is 560 calories apiece which is why i'm so overweight right now. >> mcnaughton is known for one tattoo in particular. her name. she gives to it inmates she is involved with. crystal deluna is the most recent to receive the mcnaughton brand. >> it was supposed to be the mcnaughty, but it was too long, so we got this and i think it came out really, really good. i like it. >> i've been waiting all year to be kelly's girlfriend but she didn't want to go out with me because i was pregnant at the time. now that i no longer have my baby, it's just like totally different. >> you had to work. >> i had to work my way to prove that i was girlfriend material. i had to manage the condo. this is our little condo. every time she rolls out of bed, she expects her bed fixed so i fix it. the things that she does that sometimes i don't like. like, she's a big flirt. >> in here, they call them lurds or lesbians until released date. which is the lurd part of it. that happens

an example would be the prevalence of commissaries. s andhave plenty of walmart others. they are not trivially easy. they are cutting back on the compensation or at least the rate of growth of compensation for our volunteer force that has done so much on behalf of all the rest of us over the last 12 years and before. ,ou add up all of those savings which are more or less along the lines of what i would agree with an similar to the ideas that we had in our op ed, that is another $85 billion in savings. if you add those, we are up to about $105 billion in additional 10-year savings. the good news it is almost the amount the president is proposing to save over his tenure latest budget plan. we do not have to make a lot of cuts into military muscle. there is room for some cutting. upmy recent book, i wound advocating about $200 billion in 10 year savings. i was prepared to recommend certain specific weapons programs. we all are going to have different takes on what the right number of army divisions over grades or joint fighters we should purchase. my take was that in additio

the wax. >> he sells roses to other inmates for $6 in commissary snacks and toiletries. >> i'm an artist. >>know. >> i will order you canteen. >> most of his customers mail the roses home to loved ones. >> your family taking care of you, i feel like it is courtesy to send something back to your family. so it is about respect be love, you know. >> inmates like wheaten know that creativity and a positive attitude are keys to doing time. >> if you don't remain positive then your time is going to do you. don't let the time do you. you are always worried about family out there. friends. you don't have any money. >> byron poes lack of money along with a drug addiction made him a frequent resident of the santa rita jail. >> i'm in here for theft and retiring this time. i know i said it. but this time. >> you sure? my grandson was born this year october and i got to put it down for him. >> good morning. >> if p.o.e. is going to retire from a life of crime he will need to get whatever he can from the jail's education department. >> good morning, guys. >> one of his most popular classes is a reentry p

the whole thing. secondly i think there is some kernel of truth. melissa: yeah. >> do you think there is some guy raj is giving $300 a month for commissary or giving amily outside of the prison? probably. but that goes on in prison all the time. let me tell you something, melissa. i can give you inside because i was not inside as a prisoner and i have been in a lot of prisons in mymy lifetime the word that never comes to mind is cushy and the word that never comes to mind is a penthouse. raj may have lived in a real penthouse on the upper east side. that is not the federal prison he is in now. you don't ever want to go in one of these places. go ahead, i'm sorry. melissa: the department of corrections did confirm he is in this federal medical center. >> correct, he is. melissa: why? there is only very sick people there, very old, inmates or, you know, people that are crippled. so why would he be in this facility? >> because that's where the bubureau of prisons or bop as we call them has designated him. when i was federal prosecutor that cooperated with me, and i would try to move heaven and earth for the bop to put them in places better than the ot

chapman must learn the rules of prison quickly and rely on her fellow female inmates in order to get by. >> you need some of these. i made my own, couture. commissaryt carry a size 13. >> is that duct tape? >> the series is getting praise for its strong depiction of women in a very unusual set of circumstances. la vern cox plays sofia, a transgender inmate who serves as the prison hairdresser and alysia reiner stars as a powerhouse prison administrator who stands out in the boys club of prison guards. they're joining me live from new york. thanks to both of you for being here. la vern, your character, sofia, is a former firefighter who undergoes a sex change before she's locked up for credit card fraud. she slashes easterclashes earlyf the guards when she makes a request for more estrogen pills. >> i want to see a doctor. >> you can't go to the clinic unless it's an emergency. >> this is an emergency. >> yeah, well we don't see it that way. was there something else? >> yes. i'd like to report an emergency. >> very dark comedy, very entertaining. laverne, as a real life transgender actress and you've talked about how soum people have talked about yo

there is the trouble still of commissaries, which exist in many towns that have plenty of walmarts and other such stores. there are other ways you could make compensation reforms. they are not trivially easy. i would not call them deficiencies. they are actually cutting back on the compensation, or at least the rate of growth of compensation, for our volunteer force that has done so much on behalf of the rest of us over these last 12 years, and before. if you add up all those savings, which are along the lines of what i would agree with, and similar to the kind of ideas in our op-ed, that is another $85 billion in savings. we are up to about $125 billion in additional 10 year savings, out of the $500 billion that could be required by sequestration. the good news is, that is almost the amount the president is proposing to save in his latest budget plan. so we do not have to make a lot of cuts into force structure or weapons modification. there is room for some cutting. in my recent book, i advocated about $200 billion in two-year -- in 10 year savings. are all going to have somewhat dif

. >> the first six months that i was here was very bad. they would take my commissary come back and something was gone. and then they'd taunt me. they call you names. it just got to the point where i just said to myself, it's enough. and so i got in a fight. this girl told me she wanted my six-pack of soda that was in my bag, and i said no. and she pushed me. i don't know. something just snapped inside of me and i turned around and clocked her. >> how? >> with my fist. she was not expecting it and so she fell back. when she fell back, i kicked her. the story got around that the lady with the white hair beat up, you know, a girl. and so they just left me alone and i earned my own self-respect. >>> coming up -- >> that bottom one says doggy style. makes you more money at the club. >> taryn stout-barstow recounts her life as a stripper and has her own line of cosmetics. >>> you ever been arrested before? >> no. >> an 18-year-old starts her day in a high school classroom, but ends it at santa rita. >>> inside oakland's santa rita jail, cyrico robinson is a personality. >>

commissary. i would love to write a really great biography of john marshall. the problem is he destroyed all his correspondence with his wife. you don't have the same level of information. you have all this legalistic information about this case is in the papers published, which is home to the marshall school of law. this is a guy who was a real stud. this is a guy who like at valley forge was known -- he was off the athletic competitions. he was the equivalent of a special forces team throughout a war. he has six or seven platoon's shot from under him. and then goes on to become a major figure in virginia politics and secretary of state for a brief time. the greatest chief justice and american judicial history. starting from 1800 to 1835, 36. i used to tell a story, and marshall died he was visiting his daughter in new york and they carried the body down to someone virginia. when a pastor in philadelphia they ring the liberty bell and it cracked. it's a great story. it turns out not to be true. but everything about him that is written now tends to be from a purel

the review also identified more sweeping changes to meet sequester-level targets, such as eliminating civilian pensions for retired military personnel serving in civilian government service, ending subsidies for defense commissaries, and restricting the availability of unemployment benefits. this package would yield savings of almost $100 billion over the next decade, but would have a significant impact on our service members and our workforce. but a sequester-level scenario would compel us to consider these changes, because there would be no realistic alternative that did not pose unacceptable risks to national security. strategic choices, force structure, and modernization. the efficiencies in compensation reforms identified in the review, even the most aggressive changes still leave dod some $350 billion to $400 billion short of the $500 billion in cuts required by sequestration over the next 10 years. the review had to take a hard look at changes to our force structure and modernization plans. the president's defense strategic guidance anchored this effort. the goal was to find savings that best preserve the tenets of the president's strategy, such as strategic deterrence, homeland defense, and the rebalance

the coolest individual you could meet over here. know what i'm saying? if you need something, if this commissary come in and you ain't got nothing, this ain't no white and black thing. we're all equal. that's how it is. mike jones, everybody love mike jones. you can't get mad at mike jones. you just can't. >> next on "lockup: pendleton juvenile," mike jones sets his mind on release. >> don't leave with these people, man. and if you choose to meet up with them, you're stupid. >> and staff have an excruciating time with jacob shauntee. >> why would you do that? >> he's a good kid. >> so you're trying to lose fingers because you got bored? help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger. woman: what d

the effects. if you're in pendleton, you're feeling it. hard-working folks are getting furloughed. families are getting by on less, fewer shifts for your training exercises. commissarysed a day a week. we can do better than that. that's not how a great nation should be treating its military and military families. by the way, cuts in other non-defense areas of the budget affect our troops and military families as well. our military, part of what makes us best is we've got extraordinary recruits, but if we want the best qualified recruits, we shouldn't be cutting investments in education. we should be increasing our investment in education. our wounded warriors, our veterans depend on new technology for the recovery in their health care, so we shouldn't be slashes investments in science and medical research. we should continue to be the world leader in science and research. so that's why i'm going to keep on working to get rid of this sequester. you get up and do your jobs every day. let's make sure washington gets up and does its job. you know, and what makes me. >>> we've got to pull away, because this does it for me at cnn. if you would like to continue watching th

the average wait time you get an answer in three seconds. on your drugs questioned commissary, you're a doctor so you this. it's just like private insurance. so people are going to get to make decisions about what plan they want and what pharmaceutical co-pays there are, et cetera. but you will know that they can it now. it is private insurance. i hope that answered all your questions. >> will include felons, every one? >> there are nine exemptions from people required by health insurance starting january 1st one of those is incarcerated individuals are not covered. they are not allowed to buy insurance in the marketplace. >> silence, yes. if they are to jail. >> the group that is not covered are people who are not here, probably documented immigration. >> what happens at individuals who are in jails and prisons that they leave the premise for the night and are under a different route, they are automatically eligible for medicaid. it is an exchange or marketplace, but they would be eligible for medicaid. one of the savings over a ten-year period as we say roughly $190 million
