SCOTTIE MAPLES: Today we're
We're going in to remove five inmates from our facility.
OFFICER: CERT members.
SCOTTIE MAPLES: We've received information heroin's
being sold inside the jail.
[laughter]
And we also have two inmates that are extorting
other inmates for commissary.
If somebody doesn't pay their debt,
they're going to resort to violence every single time.
[music playing]
We've got five subjects inside of 3D and 3C section.
[inaudible] Roby.
He's charging inmates $3 a day to stay in C section.
If they don't pay up, they get jumped or [inaudible] out.
[inaudible] a door to tell [inaudible]
to transfer his debt.
And [inaudible] is selling heroin in 3C.
Daffron has a cell phone.
[inaudible]
This is why you guys do all this training.
This is go time.
Inmates have all day long to try to make
contraband, obtain contraband.
So shakedowns are important for the safety of the facility.
OFFICER: Use the force necessary.
OFFICER: [inaudible].
Ready to go?
[inaudible].
Wilson.
OFFICER: Everybody, we're going to stack on C, stack on D.
SCOTTIE MAPLES: Zac and Isaiah are in D pod.
I definitely have some concerns.
There's a lot at stake.
OFFICER: [inaudible].
OFFICER: Yep.
[whistling]
Get down on the ground!
OFFICER: Down!
OFFICER: Get on the ground now!
[yelling]
Get on the ground!
[inaudible] the ground now!
Anything on ya?
I was laying in my rack reading a book.
And all of a sudden, the door slams open
and, like, six CERT team guys come in.
The element of surprise definitely does work.
It's definitely different being on the other side,
seeing what it feels like to be the guy laying on the ground,
knowing that if I move, I get shot with pepper balls.
I kind of just have to roll with the punches
and accept the situation as it is.
Keep playing the role that I have to play.
I've got one more.
SCOTTIE MAPLES: We hit our target inmates.
They were removed from the section
promptly, including Roby is a well-known pod boss,
and we're going to transport them to another facility.
Everything went smooth.
Let's just walk them down one at a time, slow and backwards.
Gentlemen, do I have any injuries?
MAN: No.
We're going to tap you on your back.
Come up slowly, move towards the door, and stop.
Quickly.
Let's go.
SCOTTIE MAPLES: We're going to go over
in the D section, where we've caught wind that there's
a cell phone in cell one.
We've received information that they're actually
taking the light apart and hiding the cell
phone inside the light.
[drilling]
Cell phones in our facility are dangerous to the officers.
Inmates have the capability, with a cell phone,
to contact other inmates inside the jail
to maybe orchestrate a crime or move
drugs throughout the facility.
Wow.
Warden, we found a shank.
It's even got the wrist loop, so you don't lose it.
OFFICER: And they put it around their hand,
so that they can't drop it during a fight.
That's scary.
We'll take every single light down and check it.
We'll make sure we do it right.
[inaudible].
[drilling]
So far, we've found a little bit of a powder substance.
Don't know what it is yet.
And then, of course, the most serious thing was that shank
I sent you a picture of.
It's pretty disturbing.
Never seen anything like that in my career here, ever.
But I'm glad we got it.
We'll start getting inmates back in the sections here shortly.
Appreciate the update.
