86! let s move it. we followed katherine hines out to the exercise yard to see part of their daily routine. this is our exercise cage. we get it every other day. it s four hours of exercise. we look forward to it, for sure. sunlight, it s a big deal. so just getting sunlight. it s like a lizard, takes a minute to get going. are you going to work out? yeah. then nearly two minutes pass, with nothing happening. our camera operator walked in between exercise cages waiting for the session to begin. finally our crew was informed it wouldn t start until they left. when our crew went back indoors, they learned that kern valley s dominant hispanic gang controlled the exercise session.
inmate joe sears was part of the aryan brotherhood. he was one of the big boys in that faction. he was the type of guy that would have put the hurt on you if you looked at him wrong at that point. i guess a lot of people looked at me as one of the, if you mess with the white boys or there s a problem with them, joe s going to be one of them. he ll be up front. you ll have to deal with him. as a level six inmate, sears lives in solitary confinement and is allowed outdoors no more than an hour a day, which he spends in this exercise cage. hard time has taken its toll. he s lost a lot of weight. mentally he s not as sure of himself. a big piece of my life is ruined. it s just real sad, it s a waste of time. sears has no family or friends waiting for him. our crew was his first contact with outside faces in years. he opened up on how his time has affected him. it s kind of hard for me to explain. you start feeling.
