keep our shot callers. it s the highest-security floor that we have. we kind of keep them all together so that way we can monitor them. by keeping them all in one place we re kind of restricting their movement and ability to communicate with others around the jail. carthen s cellmate, isaiah thompson, has also been validated as a member of the zillas gang. he s charged with possession of marijuana, possession of a firearm by a felon, resisting a poli officer. he has pled not ilty. thompson grew up with carthen in oak park. the two men are cousins but consider themselves brothers. am brother s real serious. and he s a thinker, know what i m saying? he s analytical. so the dude ain t to be [ bleep ] with. thompson declined to share much personal information. preferring to express himself through rap instead. they label me a gang s lead sore y all can get the message pow money who want it let s get it
get on the ground! get on the ground! get on the ground now! i want them out. put your hands on the back wall. let s go! come on down here and have a seat. i want you to sit down, take your hands off your head. gentlemen, those of you sitting on the floor, there will be no talking. open 17. you, have a seat right there facing the glass. when we came in what we did was fired a bored thunder. basically it s a flash bang and a shotgun round. that s to get their attention and to get them to understand we mean business when we come through the door. it s called a dynamic entry. we dropped them all right where they were. the five suspected shot callers are removed from their cells without incident in a matter of minutes. we had a group of inmates five of them that are heads within their own races and they re trying to run the pod. so what we did was we went to jail intel, we found out who
i ve been totally honest with them from step one. i had gone through all the procedures. i spoke to everybody. and for them to not believe a single word i was saying i m lost. now, you know, my fate is almost in their hands. well, as he said, you know, talking about one of the highest shot callers around, that i put in the hole for a couple nights. not going to go over lightly. and i m sure, you know, revenge somewhere down the road is going to have to be dealt with or met or something. you know, you hear stories of a guy getting out of the hole and stabbing somebody that was taking a shower. you know, you hear those stories. so, yeah, that scares me. coming up i enjoy cooking. i love it.

greatly outnumbered, so we try to reduce that by finding out who the shot callers are and going about working smarter rather than harder. shot callers are highly ranking members of racially segregated gangs who try to control the inmates within their housing units. in a jail system where inmates of different races are housed together, that can lead to trouble. prisons segregate. jail settings do not. we don t segregate by gangs, either. so you could have two bloods and a crip in the same cell. for the most part, they ve got to get along. they re in a jail system, they re waiting to go to court and be deemed either innocent or guilty. until then, they re going to function in our system the way the sheriff wants it run. big bro. i want you to take bam bam.
