Clear it out.
I'm gonna snatch this [bleep] up.
I already got approval to lock all these [bleep]
doors down if we don't clear this [bleep] hallway.
Clear it out.
You'll be able to see it on TV.
You know the rules. Dude.
Clear the hallway.
Talk to us like--
Clear the [bleep] hallway.
I ask you nicely twice.
After that, I'm gonna raise my voice.
[interposing voices]
So get the [bleep] out of here.
[bleep] you.
You ain't hard, [bleep].
Don't bow up.
He's just upset because I called him out, yelled at him.
Probably embarrassed him in front of his peers,
but this is prison.
There's rules that need to be followed.
I've talked to you several times.
[bleep]
I've talked to you a couple times.
- Don't talk to me like that. - I'm talking to you.
Chill out.
He's in my face, disrespecting me.
I show you guys nothing but the utmost [bleep] respect.
You guys never had a problem with me.
And when he's he's trying to talk to me
like I'm a [bleep] child--
When I gotta tell you over--
I'm not talking to you like that at all.
Call the county and see what the [bleep] I'm about.
They'll tell you.
You know what I'm saying?
[bleep]
Lear's clear it out.
What?
[bleep] you, come on out here.
People--
You want respect, give us respect.
You're a--
I talk to people--
I'm waiting for you to finish up.
Finish up.
I don't know if he's just doing this for fun
or trying to make a career out of it.
If he's trying to make a career out of it, it's--
it's going down the drain immediately.
We have a sign on his door saying do
not give this inmate the phone.
Someone still gave him the phone.
You know you're not supposed to use the phone
at all till July right now?
Yeah.
Right now.
So my question is how are you still using it?
Who's giving you the phone?
Inmate from 102 throws out her laundry bag.
The guy just comes, picks it up.
Goes back, and hands it over to 101.
The phone's in there, wrapped up.
This is exactly what happened, K. We're picking up trays,
102 tells me, I've had this laundry bag for two days
and I don't know whose it is.
And I grab the laundry bag, I look at it,
and it says, Charlie 101 on the laundry bag in a Sharpie.
I said, Hopkins, what's up with your laundry bag, dude?
He goes, I haven't had it in two days.
And that's when I gave him the laundry bag.
But there was no phone in there, I promise.
The way the bag falls out right here-- it, like, bounces.
Watch.
It's like there's something heavier, or harder
in there, other than laundry.
It just shows right now that just--
whatever you get, if you're giving it to another inmate,
just look through it and see what's in there.
Because they could easily hide drugs in there weapons--
anything, and pass them over to their neighbors.
These guys know how to play con games,
and they know how to get stuff, you know?
One of my most favorite things about this job
is doing the shakedowns and finding stuff.
It lets me let the inmates know, like, hey, I'm watching you.
I'm on my toes.
You can hide stuff wherever.
I'm going to find it.
I know there's no such thing as a perfect officer.
You know, I want to be pretty damn close.
OFFICER (ON RADIO): We haven't--
OK.
Good.
Clear.
NARRATOR: STIU is the investigation's unit within
the Department of Corrections.
Hey.
I feel like it made me look like I
didn't know how to do my job.
Here we go check this room, and then
someone goes in there 10 seconds later and finds something.
Yeah.
I ain't seen nothing in there, [bleep] dog.
S&M members, they're very dangerous.
If I'm making mistakes like this,
it could ultimately get myself or someone else killed.
What color does it turn?
It looks a little bit blue on the side there.
OK.
We'll take it outside.
We'll take it outside with us.
So he's positive right here on the pink one.
Trying to find out what kind of substance
it is, but so far he's positive.
Shows it clearly.
That's what the pink means?
Could tell that it was positive
before you even walked--
You know, even if they showed me two lines
and said the pink line was right there,
that means that the lines show up, then it's negative.
And the line was there, man.
10, 15 men, they come back--
The thing about it is if you--
You saw that it was positive before you even
walked out of the bathroom.
Even if she showed me red, or--
Totally understandable.
What you do is when this officer writes you up, what you can do
is you state that on the appeal.
That you wasn't there when the test was red.
You think the officers put something there,
and then that's the way it goes, on the appeal.
Because that's your right.
It's hard to have an inmate in your custody
that's sitting there and telling you to do your job.
It's embarrassing for the officer,
and it's frustrating, as well.
And if an inmate calls you out on something,
learn from that mistake.
And don't make the same mistake twice.
You can sit down right there.
I'm doing the assessment here.
I'm gonna determine how good you are to come out in public here.
All right.
You understand that you're gonna be coming
out in this population with people who are in active gangs
still? - All right.
Do you feel good about that?
Do you have an issue with that?
What I'm more concerned about is where you're going to be,
and where your head's at if they put another Sure o in the pot.
Do you have an issue with active gang members as it is?
Then you have a [bleep] issue.
You planning on assaulting anyone?
Come on.
I'm gonna roll his cap back?
Why would you say something so [bleep] stupid?
Wait--
It's like this--
If I could smack you with this book, I would do it.
Sarge, this [bleep] [inaudible]
is acting aggressive.
You're killing me, [inaudible]..
I haven't been able to do my job at all today because of you.
I was just looking out for your safety, bro.
[inaudible],, he wants to go out there and get the bad guy.
But as far as STIU's concerned, the super cop mentality,
it could be a hindrance.
To be part of this group, you have
to be able to use your head.
You have to have a certain demeanor that keeps you calm.
That's a growing experience for him.
This situation, all my rovers on the compound responded.
Andrew Martinez was the last one to show up.
Everything isn't going the way I expected it.
I just expected this to be inside a unit, you know,
just watching the inmates coming in
and out of their cells all day.
They call response, get off your ass and go.
That could've gone real bad.
It is a prison, you know what I'm saying?
These guys aren't here for singing too loud in a choir.
And if you're not comfortable, then honestly,
you shouldn't be here.
That's for damn sure.
10-4.
Hold on.
You guys were--
You serious?
Take your shoe off.
Found a pen!
Something wrong?
He just likes to run his mouth.
I want to prove myself, just in case
something does hit the fan, and people
know they can count on me.
But I shook it down, and I didn't find anything.
[applause]
Thank you.
I'm like, ugh.
I want to catch these guys, like, right now.
So-- yeah.
He didn't have anything.
He did have it.
Really?
Aw, man!
