REGINALD SCANDRETT: The first week that I took office,
we had two employees die from COVID.
And so the quarantine, once you come into the Henry County
Jail, is absolutely necessary.
And there's a time frame that we make sure that they are not
positive in any type of way before we
put them in general population.
And so the 23-and-1 lockdown is key to further
mitigate the risk of COVID spreading
inside of our facility.
Mm-hmm.
CARLOS: Yep.
CARLOS: My bunkie asked about my cover story twice, two times
already.
CARLOS: There's only so much things that I can do and say.
You know, they're not dumb.
ICKY: You still got your job?
It's my second time.
CARLOS: When the questions started arising,
I said, listen, I lost my CDL because of this.
I'm using my truck driver experience to my knowledge.
What you gonna do now?
For sure.
CARLOS: You know, I got it away with him.
But I'm like, I don't like talking.
Talking a lot exposes too much lies, and that's where
I don't want to get caught.
I'm surprised they don't got pillows in this bitch.
CARLOS: Coming into the quarantine unit,
they didn't test me.
They were like, hey, you're going straight to a cell.
I'm like, OK.
That's not quarantine.
I was under the impression you come into the jail,
and we'll let you guys out for the day.
Nah, it wasn't the case.
I'm out the cell one hour.
That's it.
When I was in New York state, and I had to do two months
in the box, that's isolation.
And it just bothers me because I feel like I'm in the box again.
I felt like I was being put back in a cage.
The dreams that I had last night about being in the box
are just scary.
I have had these dreams since the last time I was locked up.
[banging on door]
Hey.
If this camera is listening, this 23-and-1 is
cruel and unusual punishment.
CARLOS: To come here and quarantine 23-1, that's
maximum security [bleep].
Like, this [bleep] is crazy.
[thudding]
[bleep]
You need to tell the sheriff, this [bleep] needs to change.
This is not cool.
INMATE: Come on, bro!
Locked [bleep] up 23 hours of the day.
CARLOS: I can't do anything.
There's nothing I can do, legit nothing.
I'm just sitting there just twiddling my thumbs,
not doing anything.
[muffled screaming]
It messes with your head.
Being stuck in a cell 23 and 1, that's inhumane.
They ain't [bleep] if they ain't [bleep] as human.
It's a mind-mind-[bleep] being in there.
It's bad.
