>> oh, yeah, i believe that one. >> every week 1,200 men and women are arrested and booked into the orange county jail in southern california. some will be released within hours. others could be here for years, until their charges are resolved in court. but they always begin their time at the intake center located at the central jail facility. >> orange county jail system is considered a mega jail. we have the ability to house over 7,000 inmates at one time. and the challenges we face pretty much reflect, to a certain degree, the challenges the community faces with gang affiliations, with drug abuse, mental problems, issues that would be better served in hospitals but given the current situation they end up in jails. >> since the new arrivals' charges might range from minor infractions to murder, deputies must be vigilant to ensure safety.
