we take everything away from them. anything they can use to hurt themselves, we take it away. we leave them with a suicide blanket. it d be a lot more difficult to use that to hurt themselves than any other normal things they would have. while the safe cell is meant to protect martinez from himself, four of the most dangerous women of maricopa have been isolated in the special pod of high security cells known as adam 100 to protect staff and other inmates from them. there s currently only four inmates housed in this pod which normally houses 32 inmates. prior to entering the pod, maricopa county detention officers made sure we were aware of security protocols, including the evacuation plan. while we re in there, there will be two officers present and myself also.
least three feet away from their doors to prevent the passage of contraband. oh, that s cute. apkaw doesn t have much time left in adam 100. she recently accepted a plea in her aggravated assault case and will soon be transferred from maricopa to state prison to begin a 2 1/2-year sentence. but staff still takes plenty of precaution whenever they deal with her. searching her cell because she was on her hour out. every time they re on their hour out they come back to the cell and get searched to make sure they didn t bring back contraband or another inmate in the pod didn t pass any information. before long, some contraband is found. inmates call this a fishing line. there s a whole lot of string there. there s probably enough to go from one end of the pod to another and probably a couple of times around. they can use it to move weapons from one cell to the other or notes or things such as that. although it looks harmless, if
you could just say, rosie s at it again, lopez. lopez is a common name. all you have to do is say her last name. you didn t even have to say her first name. just lopez. okay, what s going on. so you don t know what to expect, huh? no. a lot more you can do. i agree. little more comfort of home, right? yeah. when all three are gone at once, i think it will be very quiet. angela simpson will soon be the only woman left on the once-notorious adam 100 pod. so it will be an interesting dynamic of what s going to happen. are there going to be inmates trying to take over their way? are there going to be others that are going to try to become rosie trevino? are there going to be is simpson going to stand up and become the matriarch, so to speak, of the estrella jail? it will be empty. it will be empty-nest syndrome, i think. we ll have to decide what to do with a-100 pod now.
i thought maybe i could distribute that. yeah. the victim also had a three-inch nail driven into his head. she is the one in this whole jail that creeps me out for a better word, you know? she just you just don t know what she s going to do. thank you, ms. simpson. coming up, the unofficial leader of the adam 100 pod speaks out. they swear up and down that i like run the show or something like that. and later, the nation s only female chain gang takes on a solemn task.
since then she has not been allowed the usual one hour a day of recreation time outside her cell, until today. bear in mind, if you screw this up, you re going to go back down to the bottom. we re going to take everything from your cell. you re going to have no day room access. you re going to have to work your way up again. you need to keep your eye on the prize here because any little infraction, if you if you re passing stuff under the doors, if you re talking up against the doors and things like that, you re going to go back all the way down to nothing. just because of the nature of inmate apkaw and the violence she s had in the past, while she is on her hour of day room access, we have to keep her in a very controlled setting. what are you doing? you got your hour! yes. [ bleep ]. that s beautiful. [ bleep ]. that is so nice. that is beautiful. apkaw is allowed to visit her three pod mates but must stay at
