Probably next to an inmates release date, visits are the most important things in their lives. Keeping in touch with their loved ones. I dont like coming here, but i have to so i can see him. For some, visits are rare moments of intimacy. And for others, a business transaction. A lot of drugs come in through the visiting room. A lot of drugs. You dont want to be here, man. And then the hustle just like the bona fide, hustler with the web and then with the two hands, like you said. The money. Money in one hand, dice coming out the other. Its going to be hard. Make sure that i do it, though, because if someone else does it, its going to be different. No, i know. Everybody hates prison. Society hates prison. Its part of life. Ive got to accept the things i put myself in. I cant try to be rebellious and hate the people that lock these doors on me every day. Thats part of their job. Theyre making money. You know what i mean . And ive got to respect that, but yeah, i hate prison. I hate the cards i was dealt but i dealt them myself. So ive got to accept it and thats going to make it easier on me to do time, by accepting my consequences behind the behavior i do when im using drugs. Because thats my only downfall is drugs. If i stay out of drugs, i wont be here. Due to frequent relapses, george, now 36, has been in and out of prison since the age of 17. They know when i start getting high, they know im gone. My mom knows. You have to go. I know, mom, ill be gone. You know. That means i go on the run. Once youre so far into an addiction or using drugs, you cant stop. The only way you can stop is doing time, getting locked up, getting taken away from it. Because once youre involved in and youve got a pocket full of dope and money and youre living the fast life, the only way you stop is if you get into a wreck. Youve got to condition your mind to do without those things. Its like, if you like Drinking Coffee and you aint got it, youve got to learn to do without. If you try to get something you aint got, then youre just making your life frustrating. In here, youve got to learn to do without a lot of things. For more than 600 days, george has shared this six by ten cell. Im not even chewing this soup. Im hungry. To escape the constraints of prison, george seeks comfort in photos of his life on the outside. Before i went on the run, this was the real george. This is the person i like to be. Someone thats real, someone that cares about other people. Someone that tries to make a difference in my neighborhood. I dont like to see my nephews getting drunk, getting high, running around the neighborhood getting involved in gang violence. Im really proud of my nephew. He just graduated high school. This is the person i went and picked up and took him in a stolen car to give him an example of the criminal activity i was doing. I talked to him about my downfalls in life. I told him i didnt want him to be a part of that. I told him to graduate high school, maybe possibly get into the military, get a job, stay grounded, you know, and just do good in life, which hes doing. Thats something i wanted to do and i didnt do. I wanted to graduate high school. I didnt, you know. To this day, sometimes i lie and say im a graduate and im not. So, hes great moving some of the barriers that put me behind these walls. By him graduating, hes probably the only boy in my family thats graduated high school. Thats a good thing. Jason burton constantly deals with the destructive nature of drug addiction which affects nearly 80 of the prison population. Ill come in here, and seeing all the addicts and seeing all, how screwed up lives get because of the drugs makes me ashamed to even say that i was a drug dealer. Really. I was trying to raise money for my latest movie. What does it take to make art . I made some bad choices. This was going to be my biggest project ever. This was going to be the movie. The fulllength feature, 90 minutes. I wanted to shoot on super 16 instead of digital. Film cost a little more money so i had to kind of push it. I pushed the envelope. You know, i got a little wrapped up in the money too, you know. When the money started coming, my original purpose got sidetracked a little bit. I was selling drugs. I had like about 58 eight balls, which is about 6,000, 7,000, maybe. I wasnt used to having large amounts of money, you know, that quick. I couldnt i mean, i couldnt stop. And then all of a sudden, my whole life crumbled, and i lost the school i was going to and, you know, i lost a lot because of it, because of those choices. I got four years. My first time in prison and last time in prison. Jason is luckier than most. With the conjugal visit with his wife soon approaching and the release date a mere two weeks away. You wont get a chance like this again. We have a dog program. We care for dogs. A bike program here. Im always reminded of where i could be. Every month and a half ill get a visit. My wife comes to see me. That really shows like the character in someone. When youre put through those low points, you know. You always have people there when youre up, but when youre really down, you know, to the curb, is when your true friends and your true family kind of shine through, and she was one of those that stuck with me. Next on lockup extended stay, jason and his wife are reunited one last time behind bars, and some visitors who come to san quentin find themselves staying much longer than originally planned. This is tar heroin. This was found in the possession a visitor. A second inmate had actually coerced this inmate and his female visitor into doing this by threat of death. It never questions the tasks at hand. But this year, theres a more thrilling path to follow. father kids. Change of plans vo defy the laws of human nature.

Com everythings related to drugs, in one way or another, has to do with drugs. Thats the downfall. Can you still get drugs in prison, though . Yeah. Drugs have always played a big, huge factor in prisons. That will never change. Next 10 30 appointment, please. How are you, dear . Hanging in there. All right. Its nonstop from 7 30 to 2 00. Were processing family members, friends into the institution to see incarcerated inmates. The interaction with the family and friends is vital to their release. Good morning, dear. You know, i respect them for what theyre doing, not just giving up on the guy, you know what, saying you know what, hes made his bed, hes going to lay in it, im moving on to someone else, because what can he do for me when hes locked up . So as its all on her. So youve got to respect these women for going through what they do. Despite elaborate security measures, visitors continue to find ingenious ways to smuggle a variety of contraband into the prison system. We have found contraband such as black tar, cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, alcohol. These women can hide that stuff where you will not see it. And a metal detector will not pick it up. Its prison and these guys are pros at doing this stuff to get it in. They want it and a lot of it comes through the visiting rooms, unfortunately, where they have contact with people from the outside who have access to that. I was working visiting which is a dormitory setting, contact visits. There was an inmate in there that tried to smuggle in some cocaine. He had it in two balloons. What he did is his visitor brought it in. He had to use the restroom. He went to the restroom. He pushed it up inside his rectum. As i was doing his search, i stripped him down. I had him bend at the waist and spread his cheeks. At that time, i seen an item that was yellow inside. I addressed the inmate, do you have anything hidden up inside you . No. Im going to ask you one more time. Do you . No. So, at that time, i had already seen what i seen. I cannot force him to take it out, so what i did is i have him get dressed back up, i taped his pants with duct tape, cuffed him up. The reason i taped his pants up with duct tape is so if he pushed it out and dropped it as i was escorting him to a holding cage, it would still be in his pants. So, he was brought from that stripout area. He was put in a holding cell and put on potty watch, where a day later, the balloons came out. They were found. If caught smuggling drugs, a visitor could end up doing time in a prison, much like the one theyre visiting. Many smugglers are actually victims acting out of fear in response to threats from prison gangs. They will prey on a weak individual and force that individual to have their visitor bring in drugs because theyre not suspected. But theyre told that your visitor is going to be visited by somebody, theyre going to give them something, and they have to bring it in. And they wont tell the inmate that theyll do something to him, theyll tell them, well do something to your loved one. This is tar heroin. This was found in the possession of a visitor. She was bringing it in to her fiance. She had this wrapped up in the Plastic Packaging here and then that was wrapped in a balloon or two and had it concealed in her vagina before, obviously, before she came into the processing area. Either a balloon or a condom is the usual way of packaging it. What theyll do, once they clear here and get to the visiting room, theyll go straight to the bathroom. Theyll pull this stuff out. Theyll hide it on their clothing somewhere. And then theyll go over to the vending machine. They may buy popcorn or m ms. Theyll open up the m ms and stick that balloon in there, or theyll stick it inside the popcorn. As the inmate is having their visit, hes enjoying his food, he swallows it. He goes back to his unit. He drinks a little bit of shampoo, vomits, throws it back up. A second inmate had actually coerced this inmate and his female visitor into doing this by the threat of death on this guy. This inmate was kind of a fringe gang member and was using his connections to get this guy who was getting regular visits from his girlfriend to bring drugs in or that was it for him. So, she was regularly bringing it in. She actually, she had a good job, no criminal record at all, and had fallen in love with this inmate well, i mean, before he came to prison, and he came to prison, got himself into some trouble, and next thing you know, shes running heroin in for him. Constantly act as if they want to kill up their own kind blind leads the blind, but im going to tell you something struggled with my body, my soul and my mind most visitors are Community People who have loved ones in prison. You know, you have a few that will come in here and try to undermine the system. Most of them are just like you and i, just ordinary folks. No matter how much contraband is stopped at the gates, plenty is making it through to inmates who will stop at nothing to get their fix. Isu came in here about a week and a half ago, we did a heroin bust and marijuana, found 11. 61 grams of heroin. Im used to like two or three, so this was a big bust. Plus, he had some marijuana, and somehow, he had a cell phone. These guys are slick. Its a neverending problem. And these guys are addicted to heroin, et cetera. It will always be a problem. There is no real rehabilitation going on in this place. Youre just going to come in and youre going to get out, and whatever happens in between is really on yourself. Come on, frankie coming up on lockup extended stay, see how some inmates find opportunities for intimacy in prison. If i didnt have these visits here with you, rachel, if i didnt have these visits, i dont know if our whole marriage would have lasted this long. It wouldnt, huh .

And this is me now i got Liberty Mutual. They customized my car insurance, so i only pay for what i need. Then i won the lottery, got hair plugs, and started working out. And so can you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. How are you, dear . All right. The conjugal visits where the immediate family wife, mother, father, children can come and spend basically 48 hours here at the institution. We have a condominium available to these inmates. They have to be a mainline inmate with a release date. Its like a little apartment room. Theyve got like a stove, refrigerator, all that stuff. So, your loved ones get to bring you your food and you just get to, you get to be with your loved one. I cant even explain to you how great it is. I look forward to it. He looks forward to it. Put in a request just the second we leave this visit, hell put in for the next one so we make sure we get it every month. Its just something to look forward to. Its the only time that we can have or that weve had together alone, you know, in years. So its just its incredible. While conjugal visits offer freedom to the inmates, to officers they can often be a chance to smuggle contraband into the prison. Follow the process. Theres a lot of rules and regulations and things that you have to follow. I know what to expect. I mean, im going to do what i have to do to come see him, so if that means having to do all these crazy things, its worth it just to be able to see him, so, get used to it. Im looking for contraband. Anything thats not authorized. Drugs. I need to make sure that everything is approved. Everything has to be vendor sealed and it has to have recognizable labels on here. So, this is allowed. No cans are allowed. They are allowed to bring in a plastic container and ive got to transfer this in. It has to be brand new, because then we know it hasnt been tampered with. If its open, it could be anything in here. This could be alcohol or something flammable. So it has to be brand new. It is very extensive, but theyre willing to do that so see their loved ones. To be able just to sleep next to your spouse is just, oh, its the greatest, you know. Just being able to put your arm over her, or you know, talk, watch tv together, just being together for those its not even really two days. Its just under, but man, its just, you forget for a second where youre at. It gets lonely, you know . You dont have i cant just pick up the phone and call him and tell him, you know, about my day or if, you know, i need to talk to someone. Its its really hard. But its almost over. And hopefully, well never have to do this again, and i wouldnt wish this on anybody in the world to have to go through this. Its really hard. I got married in here, which was, like, we were seeing each other outside, but we werent planning on getting married at the time, you know. I was down a couple of years before we decided to get married, but shes, shes a trouper and she stuck with me. So, when is he paroled . 16 days hes getting out. I know youre happy. Im so happy. I never thought this day would come. Oh, my god. So does he have plans or is he going to school or a job lined up . Hes going to work. They have a family business. A laundry. Hes going to go there. Going to kind of get settled. Hes going to go to school after hes working for a little bit and gets set up with his parole and what not. Thats nice. If he has a plan, hell do well. He has a good family and a lot of support. Once you leave an environment like this you really do need good support. So thats great. So what are you going to do not seeing me . No offense, but i would love to not see you. I dont want to see this place ever again. Yes sorry, honey. Hi, gorgeous. Man, ive been sweating in there so bad. Okay. Heres your wife. It means everything to us. And im just happy that this is going to be the last one, and then he gets to come home and i get to have this every day, so, like it used to be. If i didnt have these visits here with you, rachel, if i didnt have these visits, i dont know if our whole marriage would have lasted this long. It wouldnt, huh . I dont think so. Just these two days something to look forward to. Something to look forward to. Something to break up to hold each other. To be able to catch up and talk about everything that we cant talk about on a 15minute phone call. 15minute phone call, you got the guy interrupting. 120 seconds remaining. You have 60 seconds. Your call is being recorded. Its like, all right, thats the third guy in the conversation, okay. So, to catch up, to just be, like, how we were when were together, when were here, its like we were never apart. Babe, to a beautiful twoday vacation. And 16 days left until you come home. Thats right. Cheers to that. Cheers. I love you. I love you, too. Next on lockup extended stay, a relationship tormented by drugs struggles to survive through noncontact visits. Hes been in prison almost since he was 17. You know, he doesnt mean to go back. The five years weve been together, hes only went back twice, so thats not that bad. Here i go again on my own goin down the only road ive ever known like a drifter i was born to walk alone . Barb you left me hangin on the high harmony there. If you ride, you get it. Geico motorcycle. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more. Were going all in thion strawberries. Ra, at their reddest, ripest, they make everything better. Like our strawberry poppyseed salad and new strawberry summer caprese salad. Order online for delivery. Panera. Food as it should be since my dvt blood clot i was thinking. Could there be another around the corner . Or could it turn out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fda approved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be surprising. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Ill tell you what its all about. Who runs this place. Its who controls the cell. Thats why i started my own country. My names father flanigan is the god squad. Flaniganistan, this stands for freedom, liberty and national intelligence, governs a nations internet as goes to the network. Here we go. Angel rodriguez has little human contact and spends his time expressing his inner anguish through art. She represents the queen and i represent the king. Because its part of bible stuff. God said that youre going to be kings and queens in the new system of things. In my letters i tell her shes my queen and she tells me im her king. That represents that. I mean, my girl. You know what i mean . Its something i pray for. Thats what the prayers are for. And it goes with is scripture. Psalms 37 4, if you find your delight in god hell give you the desires of the heart. And thats what she is. Shes one of my desires. To be with me forever, and being that im in here, my hopes based upon all that. And i feel if i didnt have that hope, things would be tore up, and thats what the drawing represents, my hope. Its not easy being in love with a prisoner. You know, i think because im a strong woman, im a strong person, thats what, you know, makes me deal with all this drama. Love will make you do the most stupidest things. But its worth it. If that person loves you back, its worth it. I think hes worth it. Im into drugs, im in the fast lane. Yvonnes not. I mean, shes a godly person, but she got a big heart, so she let the home boys that didnt have a place come to her house, so thats how i met her. Before me and him hooked up together he was telling me about his life. He had a drug problem before. He never wanted to go back to it, you know. Im like, okay, i can deal with that, you know. But then he started hanging with the wrong crew, with the wrong people, and thats whats i guess he started getting tempted, and thats how it started. Good, good. Wheres the little man today . Hes at his aunties house today. Good for him. Yes. Anything in your pockets . Just my key. Your just key . Okay. You enjoy your visit. Have a good day. I will. Noncontact visits are usually inmates that are just arrived or inmates that are on disciplinary Housing Units for various reasons, whether it be gang related or theyre under protective custody. These inmates are required to be behind glass. And they, basically, theyre speaking over intercom speakers. I dont like being here. Its like, ugh. I dont like being here. But i have no choice. I have to be here because my mans here, my babys here. I tried everything. I tried heroin first time in prison. That was the first time i ever tried that was in prison, because everybody else was. I started doing coke. I used to fix. I stopped doing that because the aids thing came on. That scared me right there. I backed up on that. Plus, being in prison, you know, being in prison, being on paroles like a little lifesaver if youre in the fast lane because you get these breaks from being out there, so it brings your mind back, you can focus a little bit and you can reflect on what youre doing out there so when you get out, you change a little bit, you know what i mean . Youre still struggling trying to change, but its hard. You know, he doesnt mean to go back. He just things happen sometimes in life. Hes been in prison since he was 17, juvenile hall. And its hard for him. Its hard for these men to go back in and out, but thats all that they know. But he did pretty good. The five years weve been together, hes only went back twice. So thats not that bad. You know . In this relationship, she dont want no drugs because her old man was on drugs and he was cheating on her and everything else. She says you do anything else, just dont cheat and dont do drugs, because she wanted god in the relationship, and i agreed upon that, but i didnt keep my word to her. I broke my part. I was only with her five days and i got put in violation in prison. And i didnt hear from her because the mails slow here. A month slow. When i finally did hear from her, she told me she was pregnant. So i feel that helped me keep her in my life, you know what i mean . So, shes still with me. Despite their rocky beginnings, angel and yvonne seem capable of overlooking all obstacles. I guess i tried to commit a domestic violence, but i didnt. It doesnt make sense to me. Either you hit the person or you didnt. To me, its like, im on my way to the store, im going to the store, but then i change my mind. Ive got my money in my pocket and i grab the door, im not going to the store. Thats an attempt. Thats the only way i can explain. I didnt do nothing. I argued with her. Were arguing about his exgirlfriend who has a daughter from him. I had heard rumors he was messing around on me. So i was really hurt, upset. I would never think he would do that. Come to find it was a lie. Then we started arguing in the streets. He was on drugs really bad. He was on meth. And that stuff really makes you go cuckoo and wacko. She got me pissed off so i turned around and told her, okay, i did sleep with this girl, she does this better than you, she does that better than you. She screamed, pulled herself by her hair and took off running. So i leave my son in the stroller on the sidewalk and i take after yvonne. I run after her, i catch her in front of the parole office. And im trying, baby, im sorry, i didnt mean it. And i pushed him, so he tried to grab me and told me that hes sorry, that that was a lie. He was just trying to convince me. Im looking at the parole office, this close, looking in the windows, like baby, youre going to get me in trouble, you know what i mean . Police are going to come. Ive got dope in my pocket. Ive got a warrant. Right . Im high as hell. Right . Im trying to calm her down. I guess because we were arguing hard, attacking each other verbally. And the cops came. So i just backed started backing up. Yvonnes standing over there. I told her, come on, lets get out of here. And i walked, because i left my son up the street. I went and grabbed my son and i took off. I left yvonne there. The police were coming. I was going to hide my drugs. Know what i mean . Take my son out of the area. I took off. Police started coming around. I left my son with some youngsters behind a fence. Which, thats the house i was going to, which they ended up leaving him there, too, so i got charged with that, too, a misdemeanor, child endangerment because i left my son in the stroller, right . And they looked at his record and his background, looked at his i. D. , he says, oh, no, youre coming with us. So, they looked at him like he was some monster because of his background. And then when i got home, i laid there and i looked at my little angel, its like, oh, my god, his daddys gone, you know . With a successful appeal to his case unlikely, angel and his girlfriend must suffer his tenyear sentence together. What keeps me close to him is visiting him, keep him company by writing to him, visiting him. I have no problem with that. I can do it. I wont ever get tired of it. If she stays with me, because seven years is a long time. Plus, she probably blames herself, too, you know, more than she probably admits to me. Im older now and my desire is to change. When i was younger, i didnt care. I had my son. I had my family. I got a woman who loves me and i got my boy. I got my daughter i got to try to get back, too. All these things, my heads clear, im focusing on them. You know what i mean . And im blessed. I really am. I just overlooked all that. Coming up on lockup extended stay this is all your property, right . Will jason make his release date . And the boys in ad seg get a little surprise. They know when i go in im not leaving until i find something. Lets be honest, you need insurance. But its not really something you want to buy. Its not sexy. Oh delicious. Or delicious. Or fun. But since you need both car and home insurance, why not bundle them with esurance and save up to 10 . Which you can spend on things you really want to buy, like ah well i dont know what youd wanna buy cause im just a guy on your tv. Esurance. Its surprisingly painless.

Get off the yard take it home attention, donnor cos [ bleep ] that was our greeting. To battle overcrowding, officer cavagnolos donner unit houses inmates meant to be segregated from the general population within feet of mainline inmates. We have in this unit, we have 2 1 2 tiers of administrative segregation, and the bottom half is a Reception Center. It makes it really difficult for us, because inmates on the bottom half of the unit, they have access through a lot of different parts of the institution, and then our challenge we have in administrative segregation is the inmates make fish lines and theyll tie a little weight to it and pass it down and pass kites or weapons, so its a constant battle. Just controlling contraband and keep an eye on these inmates, keep them in order. You never know what youre going to get in here. You have to be prepared. Just last week we had an inmate slashed from the second tier Reception Center and we just came off of lockdown from that. Yesterday we had an inmate cut his wrist coming off the fifth tier. Like i said, were five tiers high. We do not have suicide bars in here. One of the inmates came out in handcuffs and were in an altercation and fighting for our lives up there. Theres no recovery from a fifth tier drop. Thats always in the back of your mind. It is a little creepy when youre walking up there. Youve got to make sure you have a good partner with you and keep your hands on the escort and just be ready for anything in this unit. Escort four one since drugs inevitably surface within the prison, surprise cell searches are cos only chance to curb their movement. Most of the time, if they sense theres going to be a cell search, the first thing theyre going to do is flush any type of contraband they have. So, ill get them in handcuffs, escort them down to the holding cage and strip them out in a welllighted area. Then from there, ill conduct my uncloaked body search there and then come back up and do my cell search. Thats all we did right there. No way to flush contraband down there. If i get them in cuffs, i got them. Right now were going to conduct a cell search, see what we find. You get low, ill get the top. We have to conduct three cell searches per day. And before it was three per tier, now they want three per officer. So, youve got three officers, thats nine searches per day, and we have to do it to control the contraband. If youre hitting nine cells a day really good, youre going to cut down the contraband, especially when we find razor blades. Thats a weapon now. It can be in the form of a full shaving razor. Its administrative segregation. We know it came from downstairs, you fished it up here. It could easily be broken down. Thats a weapon. Right heres a fish line, so if hes using this to they use this as a weight and theyll send this off the tier to the lower tiers, most likely, where theyre allowed to have razor blades, stuff like that, and the inmate will attach a razor blade to this and theyll fish it in. As you can see, theyve got a lot of line right here. Theyll go all the way up the tier. Theyll go up, theyll go down, theyll go side to side, and this is how they pass contraband right here, so, well definitely take this. They know exactly how some of us do our jobs, so if theyre going to sit there and theyre going to be loud or disrespectful while i walk down the tier, i may pay a visit to their cell and do a cell inspection and maybe find some contraband. They know when i go in, im not leaving until i find something. A lot of times, they tear up the side of their mattress, try to hide stuff, think we wont get dirty and go in there. These cell searches yield both contraband and vital gangrelated information. This is a basic kite, nothing incriminating on it, but it has aka danny boy out of donner 44. So, when we go back, we can notate that 114 final, aka, danny boy. If they come up with any type of hit list or anything or any type of Gang Activity with that game, well know exactly who it is. Ive had lieutenants come in here and ask me certain nicknames, do i know who it is . I keep a note pad on me and i can flip it up, look over at danny boy, write his cc number down, his actual name and where he was housed at. Points past, they could go through control, look up a cc number and find his proper housing, and we do that all the time. So, just something small like this is vital for us. Thats a kite right here, everything written on this side, but right there is danny boy, 4 donner 44. Whats your stance on it, are you affiliated . Well, yeah. You are affiliated . Yeah. And who are you affiliated with . Well, to be honest with you, just about any white in here that will stand with me. Okay. All right . All right. So, when you go to your cell, youre going to find some paperwork. We went through everything and we found those kites. It wasnt a matter of disrespect or anything, we did what we had to do, so understand that and thats it. Were going to take copies of the kites, send them to the squad and make copies of your addresses and get your addresses right back to you. Okay. All right . Okay, turn around, back out. Doing these cell searches and were coming up with a lot of contraband, a lot of information that they dont want us to have. Were hitting them all so we dont ever know if our lives are in jeopardy until we find our names on a piece of paper and we get that information. So, we keep plugging away and hope for the best. You can see theyre hitormiss up here, you know. You might do ten searches and not find anything, and then you might do a string of ten searches and find something in eight of the cells, you know .
