drug possession conviction, and now is only two days away from his release. in the meantime, he holds a job delivering meals and clothing to other inmates. we re going to be doing that shortly here. we get to go pick up all the clothing, and every one of these guys comes down, and we hand it back and forth through that slot. so at no time do we get actual personal contact with these guys. some of them are looking upward to 10, 15 years each for the most random thing, you know, and knowing that i m getting out in two days doesn t make me the most popular guy. stokes has mixed feelings about his upcoming release. well, it s, oddly enough, a little intimidating. when i was taken into custody, i had just checked into a motel room. 20 minutes later i walked out to my car to go get a cell phone charger, and there was a gun pressed against my head.

real-time communication and can help provide an escape plan. i m in d west. three seg. got caught with a cell phone charger. right here is where he had it hidden at. there s a little cut underneath the toilet area. anything you wanted to hide in there, it would be a real good hiding spot for it. after officers found the cell phone charger here. tye knowing he might be subjected to further scrutiny and trouble, voluntarily turned in the cell phone, which he had hidden in another location. it meant a lot to me. i could call anybody i wanted any time i wanted. you could make things happen if you have a cell phone. now tye must face the disciplinary hearing board to find out what sanctions he ll face for having the cell phone and charger. he s assisted with his case by
officer in training. this is her second week working on prison grounds. my husband, you know, was kind of skeptical at first. i think he knows this is something that i really want to do. i ve always had a passion for law enforcement. that s just something i love. my kids were kind of excited. they thought, okay, mommy is going to be a cop. that s cool for them. i don t think they really understand everything that s going on. you have to remember to stay firm, fair and consistent. you can t really treat anybody any different. they re all human. they re all men. you have to remember that. hey, this is lieutenant meehan. can you send offender tye, t-y-e up to custody hall? i need to speak with him. it s been a bad week for ronnie tye. since being caught with a cell phone charger, prison officials have suspended his contact
