Keep straight.
All the way down the hallway.
Sergeant Jones, coming in with one from intake.
JON: I don't know anything about the Fulton County Jail.
JON: I don't know if I'll get a pillow.
I'm assuming that I'll have to be
sharing showers, and bathrooms, and things like that.
So that's going to be quite a difficult adjustment.
[INAUDIBLE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Tower, open up 600.
Zone 600 has older inmates.
Some of these older guys have been here for years.
I've seen everything here.
I've been here for three years straight.
I know all the stuff that jail doesn't
even want you know about.
They're set in their ways.
They don't want people coming in and causing conflict.
They have the big personalities.
They have tempers, and when there's conflict,
they can blow up.
You know, it's going down.
It's going down rough.
This ain't a place you want to be if you got an option.
It can be a very dangerous place.
Tower, open up 605.
Mr. Thomas.
[INAUDIBLE]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
JON: Walking to 600 was like, what
the hell did I get myself into and how
long is this going to last.
And what do I need to do to stay as on my toes as possible.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
[BLEEP] [INAUDIBLE] [BLEEP] [BLEEP]
[INAUDIBLE] tell the truth.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
When I walked into the cell, that was the scariest part.
I had no idea that I was going to be locked
down the whole time I'm here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[INAUDIBLE]
Free man!
[INAUDIBLE] say free man!
[INAUDIBLE] free man!
JON: [BLEEP] Once I got into the cell, I didn't have a roommate.
Time was very slow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Definitely takes forever.
So it's been tough.
I miss home a lot.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
600 [INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE].
Y'all need to get on the ball [INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE] 605.
McDonald, 603.
Yeah
I'm thinking, yeah, because I just--
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
[INAUDIBLE]
Y'all need to get on the ball [INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE]
JON: I'm staying in.
All right.
[INAUDIBLE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you're new to this zone, turn and face me please.
If you're just in your cell and you just got here,
you might want to listen very carefully,
so we have no miscommunication.
When I step in for head count every morning,
your bed is to be made.
You want to sleep on the floor?
That's your choice.
You don't want to come out today?
That's also your choice.
Making your bed is not.
Your bed is to be picked up off the floor put on its bunk
properly made, meaning your blanket
is tucked completely around.
We clear?
OK.
If your bed is not made, I'll take it.
I'll take your mattress, I'll take your blanket, your sheets,
and all your belongings.
You stay in for the day.
It stays with me.
If I have ask you twice, I write you up.
If I have to write you up twice, I send you to Seven North
or Seven South, [INAUDIBLE].
OK?
All right.
When an officer comes in the zone, this is how you are.
On the wall, facing the wall.
We don't sit on your mother's table, you don't sit on mine.
You sit on my table, I will take the entire [INAUDIBLE] up.
Actually, you all out for a few months as a whole.
Nothing else is up for discussion.
Come on out.
Make sure your bed is made.
Stand by your door.
Hey, hey, hey.
What's up.
[INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE] yesterday morning.
That's [INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE]
I was really happy when I got a roommate.
He really went out of his way to bring me in under his wing.
