shackles and cuffs on me. i don t have to be supervised continually. the downside is leaving parker behind. i don t want him to go. at the same time i m going to miss him. i want him to go. he needs to get out of here. like i said this is prison in prison. nobody wants to be here. coming up, cell mates, nixon and young find themselves in hot water over a telephone call. i m trying to talk to my mom, and he writing stuff off like that. a small lesion creates big anxiety for jack hill. probably skin cancer.
we re in what s called the dog run, in between the two outer fences that surround the perimeter of the institution. we come in here once every week or two weeks. we come in here, get all the weeds out, any trash that might have blown in and rake everything to where there s no footprints in case an inmate does breach the first fence we can see foot prints in the dog run. it s more security reason than anything but it also looks good. have you got a hoe? no weeds? i need you to get the dirt, soften it up. don t stand around. while some squad members appreciate the chance to be outdoors, others like philip nixon, could do with less exposure to the elements. how did you get so sun burned? rls. we go out there and do work but there s no shade. you know, so we sit out there for the whole time, and get just like that. you know, sunscreen don t really
help, because there s no shade. you know, you re in straight sunlight for six hours. ain t really no way to get away from it. it s free labor. we re out there working in the field for nothing. it s free labor. it s like a slave plantation, basically. nixon is serving 15 years for third degree murder. marcus young has ten years for robbery and battery with a deadly weapon. but he s had plenty of trouble inside prison, as well. marcus young has approximately 25 disciplinary reports in his history. disorderly conduct. theft. disobeying orders. fighting. possession of weapons. possession of narcotics. assault or an attempted assault on inmates. lewd and lascivious exhibition, telephone violations. several spoken threats. nixon has also seen his share of trouble.
