me your canteen. that don t mean nothing when you re in jail, miss excuse me sergeant wilson. sergeant wilson, that don t mean anything when you re in jail. okay. i m trying to understand it seems that there s something missing in the story. the committee has received word that the fight might have resulted from the other inmate attempting to collect a gambling debt from kelly. did you have a poker game that lasted for a couple of days? no. okay. were there several individuals that were supposed to pay out canteen? no. i play poker. okay. were you in charge of the poker game, and when the other individuals could not provide the canteen, then you were the one that was supposed to provide the canteen for everyone involved? no. listen, why would i provide someone else canteen that loses their canteen? that doesn t make sense. that s what we re trying to understand. that s why we re all in this room here right now. that doesn t make sense.
the outside. it s really exciting to me because i ve never been to jail. i ve never been in any trouble. so me coming inside the jail, this is my first time basically seeing the inside of a jail. michael wilkerson has been driving to jail every thursday for the past six months. can i see your band? yes. he works for an outside vendor that runs the canteen service. this is a three-hour and 30-minute ride every thursday. i like talking to them, seeing what they re going through, asking what they re here for. sometimes you re scared of the charge they have. other than that, i love this job. i love it. there s also a dark side to canteen day. canteen is usually the worst day in the unit. that s when the most fights will happen. canteen is money here. when you need something, you trade it with canteen. they don t have access to paper money. that s their money here. that s how they pay their debts. that s how they collect debts. if they don t pay, this is what happens. a
we ll follow. 1010 in progress. it s a fight. tactical officers from the jail s special operations group have been called to a fight shortly after canteen distribution in a maximum security housing unit. there s two of them fighting. i got them separated. this one and the one on the corner. officers assigned to the unit manage to separate the combatants seconds before the team arrives. turn around. one individual inmate received a canteen. another individual came out of the room to try to steal it from him. that s when the fight broke out. the fight was between sheldon kelly and another man who declined to be on camera. that s what started everything. about $50. the stuff is overrated. it s overpriced. a bag of chips, those kind of chips on the street would probably be 50 cents a bag, two for a dollar. here it s one dollar a bag. make sure you get the canteen.
down on a policy that they ve let slide a bit. it has to do with the plastic box issued to each inmate in which they re to store canteen and other personal items. all your canteen has to fit in your box with your box closed, with your lid closed. this starts monday. so start this weekend working on that. i ordered about $30, $40 worth of stuff. if i order that much, i can pretty much get everything in there. many inmates max out the $100 weekly limit on canteen, so the excess usually winds up outside the box. excess canteen, we think that that s been contributing to a lot of the break-ins and robberies in the unit. guys getting their canteen stole from and stuff like that. we feel that we can get everything off the floor into their proper boxes and stuff, cut back on insects, bugs, stuff like that. if you have canteen that s not going to fit in your box, you lose it. you lose it.
doors. so we come out here and associating. associating. try to talk to them but it s hard to hear through them windows, especially when it s noisy out here. jenkins has also made friends with matthew glidden. glidden is charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor to which he has pled not guilty and is awaiting trial. like jenkins, he, too, has chosen general population over protective custody. but as an accused sex offender, glidden could be in greater danger due to a code among inmates that says people with charges like his should be targeted for violence. and ten days later, jail officials would need to determine whether that code played a role in the death of matthew glidden. coming up we had a possible suicide. it s being investigated by the state law enforcement division and the local coroner. officials look into the death of matthew glidden. and if you have canteen that s not going to fit in your box, you lose it. you lose it.
