section here we come into the high-rent district. mason is serving nine months at theo lacey, convicted of an unusual shoplifting charge. caught stealing a flea collar and a pair of workout pants. you re here because you stole a flea collar and a pair of workout pants. yes. and i do have a dog. that day, i was actually out of my mind on methamphetamine. i had been up for four days straight without sleep. i have no idea why i was even in that store. if there s anything that you could say is it s the devil s drug, methamphetamine fits that bill perfectly. it s a blessing i got caught stealing that stuff because i was praying to god to stop and i couldn t. so, i guess this is his way of helping me stop. i can flex. inside jail, mason is an advocate for healthy living.

one way to measure the challenge of managing such a large inmate population can be found in the theo lacey kitchen, where inmate workers prepare 9,000 meals per day. i ve actually heard that if an inmate had to be incarcerated they prefer to come to orange county jail because they are fed well. they are fed more colorfully. and our nutritional guidelines and standards are the same as the rest of the state but we put a lot of care and energy into what we do. while lower security level inmates eat in the chow hall, the majority of inmates are confined to their cells. their meals are delivered by inmate workers, like robert mason. it really helps that i used to work at denny s. it makes me thankful where i am at because at least we get to come out three times a day. it passes the time a lot quicker. these guys are locked down 23 hours a day, 22 hours a day. time goes by real slow up there. that s why we are kind of like their only contact. so, i mean, you can do little things for th
