it was also one of the few times he submitted to an extraction without a prolonged struggle. after determining he is not going to be combative, officers allow slagle to shower off the burning gas. one of the really amazing things about the cell extractions is that sometimes afterwards, the inmate and the officers seem to have a camaraderie, almost like pro athletes standing around the locker room at the end of a really tough game. and that was the case with slagle as he was recovering from his pepper spray. yeah, [ bleep ]. first time for that. i don t know. next on lockup: raw. spent 18 long years
it s a dead room with a pull-up bar. there s one small window. everywhere you go, handcuffed, handcuffed to go in the shower. you have no human contact with nobody at all. but roy slagle has had more contact than most inmates here. it s just been all the wrong kind. at the time of our shoot, he held a dubious record. he had had more cell extractions than any other inmate at the prison. cell extractions occur when inmates violate rules. and refuse orders to cuff up and vacate their cells. it s then up to a specially trained emergency response team to forcibly remove them.
and i was standing there with a big old bucket of it and throw it in their face. they would just go nuts. and so the corrections finally made a law that made it a felony. and then that s when i stopped. coming up on lockup: raw, the most violent confrontations behind bars. cell extractions. they tell you to back up to the door. if you back up, you re a bitch. try poligrip for partials. poligrip helps minimize stress which may damage supporting teeth by stabilizing your partial. care for your partial. help protect your natural teeth.
that brought you to kentucky state penitentiary, how long that sentence is, and then how long of that sentence you have served? i m in for murder. life sentence. convicted in 2001. are you proud of that notoriety? i mean, we ve heard you are one of the most dangerous guys here. how does that that s what i hear. i m actually one of the most laid-back guys here. as all officers, i ve received threats from different inmates for bodily harm. he s the only one that s actually ever tried to follow through with it. come on in! i ll show you what a redneck can do! hiatt s refusal to cooperate with officers has resulted in numerous violent cell extractions. they tell you to back up to the door. and if you back up, you re a bitch.
so we have a different type of communication level and understanding. every night you are going to go through this. every night you work, you racist, redneck, no good [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. i know you is a coward harper will serve at least two more years in segregation. i made things hard for myself. i have been in segregation for three years. i don t blame nobody else. because i had an opportunity to get out of here. i let my anger and things get to me that i shouldn t have. and as a result of that, i m still here. i can t say i m sane. i m pretty off balance, but i keep it in a certain amount of control. another inmate at kentucky state penitentiary who is no stranger to cell extractions is victor hiatt. prior to interviewing him, our producer was duly warned.
