New ways to smuggle in contraband since corcoran opened its doors in 1988. There is drugs in prison, obviously. Itll ruin your day. Whether in the form of drugs. When we get it, its usually like this. Or weapons. Looks like its made of aluminum. A piece of stainless steel here. Come off of one of our food carts. Its always a race against time for the officers to find the contraband. Look at that. Before its too late. During the months our crew spent inside corcoran, we witnessed our fair share of searches. Today on a yard, the maximum security facility, we caught up with an officer beginning his shift with one of three standard cell searches. Just a random search today. Come on, every day. Looking for contraband, stuff theyre not supposed to have. Not too many apples they like to make pruno out of. Razors, they break them apart. An awful lot in the cell. Good weapon. Piece a metal. Just sharpen that. Ill take this from him and write him up. Cant tell what it came out of, but he sharpens that, that would make a good shank. Make a couple weapons out of that. Is it sharpened to a point . No, not yet. We can only book him for having dangerous contraband, at this point its not sharpened, so write up a 115. They know how to beat the system by not sharpening them to a point, because once they do that, they get sent to ad seg. As long as its not sharpened to a point, its just considered dangerous contraband. Could make two weapons out this little piece right here. Random searches in all of the cell blocks in corcoran are vital to the safety of the inmates and officers as every piece of contraband discovered could mean one less attack. After all, with enough time on their hands, some inmates are fully capable and more than willing to do almost anything. Inmates like andre johnson, who is serving a life sentence in the shu for murdering an officer in san quentin in 1985. My reputation was, i took care of business. When things needed to be done, it was done. He was acting on orders from his gang, the black guerrilla family. I was given my orders that on the june 5th no, june the 8th, excuse me, that i was to assault sergeant burchfield, who had been monitored. My husband was howell dean burchfield. He was known as hal or h. D. He was a very jovial, funloving guy. When i received the kite and the orders, anxiety hit me first because this is a serious thing and i had 16 months to go home. But is it my life or is it going to be his life . And thats what is going on in my head. If i dont carry this assault out, then its me. Also the kite read that you would be receiving a fish line from above in a blue bag. Everything that you need would be contained in that bag. Doubleedged cast iron knife with a double edge and it was tempered because it left no fingerprints. So, i waited like three days and when the line came down that morning, i fished it in, took the blue bag off, and i got the spear shaft from that off the fishing line and i waited. Sergeant burchfield approached my cell with a flashlight down by his site, and he saw me standing there, he asked me if i needed a light for my cigarette. So i had a cigarette i had a camel in my mouth. Thats when he turned. When he turned into the cell, i hit him. I stabbed him, speared him one time. He turned around, grabbed his whistle, started blowing it. Dropped his flashlight and started blowing it and he turned around and took off down the end of the tier. He got to like 15 cells and he collapsed not knowing that every step that he took he was bleeding internally because i hit the carotid artery. There was a knock on the door at 3 00 a. M. They said to me, barbara, we have bad news, and i said hes been in a car accident, hasnt he . And they said, no, he was murdered tonight at san quentin. I got rid of everything, i cleaned the cell, im getting rid of everything. The weapon is already gone, we knew at that time there was no fingerprints on it, and the time they came in, all of the inmates from the fifth tier to first tier start throwing everything out of their cell. Thats what happened, they would find, 20, 30 weapons and never know which one was the actual murder weapon. The squad came through, which is the security squad, or goon squad, they came through and cordoned off everything and they took the pictures and collected evidence and things like that. So they collected the evidence and find all these weapons. Now, that night im up and im worried about whats happening. But they dont know what happened. But a break in the case came from the confession of an inmate involved in the murder. He saw an opportunity for himself, serving a life sentence. Turned everybody in. Because of my lack of knowledge and planning of the crime, and my age, the judge overturned my Death Penalty and sentenced me to life in prison without the chance of parole, which means i dont go to board, im just here. Hal was 36 when he was murdered. He was just doing his job. He was doing what it takes to protect society from that element in prison. I guess i want to know why, why hal . I followed orders, i was a foot soldier following orders. And it was either him or me and i chose him. It was simple as that. Its prison politics. I think they did it because they seized the opportunity and he was there. He was the senior staff member. Sergeant burchfield was targeted because he was too damn nice. He cared, and because of that caring, he was monitored. They didnt care that he had a family. They knew. Ive been curious all these years if theyre sorry for what they did. They havent come out and said were sorry for any pain we may have inflicted on you and your family. If i could take that day back to sacrifice myself knowing the things that i know today, i would. I would take that chance and allow myself to be executed instead of him. No one should have to deal with this kind of a death. This one was taken just hours before he died. Next on lockup extended stay, officers react to a tip about contraband, but can they catch it before it spreads to the rest of the prison . Round up the inmates. Do a perimeter check. Well secure the perimeter. And. Thats your basic threepoint turn. [ scoffs ] if you say so. Im sorry . What teach here isnt telling you is that snapshot rewards safe drivers with discounts on car insurance. What . Or maybe he didnt know. [ chuckles ] im done with this class. Youre not even enrolled in this class. I know. Im supposed to be in ceramics. Do you know room 303. Oh. Thank you. Yeah. Good luck, everybody.

In corcoran the constant influx of drugs and weapons represents a very real threat to the safety of the officers and inmates. The Investigative Services unit or isu tries to keep the prisons rampant contraband problem under control. Well round up the inmates, somebody do a perimeter check and secure the perimeter. An inmates nonlethal overdose at his job in the laundry facility sparks this fullscale investigation by Sergeant Lawton and the isu team. Today were conducting a search of the pia warehouse laundry searching for any kind of contraband. Last month we had an inmate overdose back here in the prison industrys laundry on his job site. Since corcorans laundry facilities often act as a contraband Distribution Center for the inmate population, this may be one of isus best chances to catch the drugs before they spread to the rest of the prison. Because of the big area and the areas they could hide in, well bring in two narcotics dogs here and do a mass search of certain areas and hopefully we can come up positive with a hit on dope. Thats the whole plan today. Obviously these guys know were coming. Element of surprise is the number one thing here. We got one on them. Strip them out here along the wall. We have approximately 30 inmates that we removed from their job assignment. Rivera. Next man come over here. Basically just going to be an unclothed body search. Looking for any type of contraband may be hiding on his person. Were going to go ahead and conduct a search in here with canine units. Squad, be advised im at the door. Well have him check around the boots, all of the inmates put their boots upside down. Socks off. Armpits. Armpits. Hands. Ears. Open your mouth. Thats fine. Bottom lip. Drop your head. Shake out your hair. Drop your boxers. Turn around. See the bottom of your feet. Run him through here real quick, around the outside wall. You guys can run your workers back in there and start pushing those buttons and turn the alarms off. Time to go back to work. The dog alerted on a couple things but we didnt come up with anything. So were out of here. Both the inmates and their job site come up clean of any contraband. This could mean its already reached the prison population where the items can be bought, sold and used. Some inmates like tim duncan know all about the drug trade in corcoran. I used drugs in prison my whole life, that was my thing. Heroin is my drug of choice. I dont use anything else. I dont smoke pot or do crank. None of that. I do opiates. I havent done them in a while but thats where i was at with that. I drink like a fish when i can, i make better wine than you can probably buy on the streets. You ferment fruit and sugar, put it together, put some water on it, warm it, stick it under the bunk for three days, strain it and drink it. Tim transitioned from a drug user out on the streets to an enforcer for the aryan brotherhood in prison, responsible for collecting drug debts. My policy was if one of my people got in a drug debt, i would pull them up and tell them, youre done, cut up their credit card, get together with white, pay their debt and hes done. If he gets drugs again then well stab him because he violated and i agree with that. There is drugs in prison, obviously. You get on a phone and cry to mom and tell her, i need 100. I broke somebodys tv, whatever lie you want to tell, can you send it to this address . And its going to go to the streets to whoever the connection is and then their old lady is going to buy the dope and bring it back n somebody will come to visit and theyll have their little balloons and they stick them up their ass, and when they come back they [ bleep ] them out and clean them up, paper it up and sell it. Coming up, tims drinking is about to get worse. A slight hint of alcohol smell, so and theyve hit inmates at the job site. Now the isu team is targeting their home. Get to the door. Go ahead and pop them. Plus well do a urinalysis on them. A lastminute drug test could end the conjugal visit before it begins. Families have brought in drugs. Here i go again on my own goin down the only road ive ever known like a drifter i was born to walk alone . Barb you left me hangin on the high harmony there. If you ride, you get it.

Help prevent this talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about getting vaccinated against whooping cough. In the four months our producers spent inside corcoran we saw inmates committing offenses ranging from violence to drug smuggling. Its up to officer love and the isu team to try to prevent these violations. What we call our wall of shame is two years of hard work with our Investigative Services unit. It deals with a lot of our drug arrests, visitors, parolee pickups, 95 of these are just individuals bringing in drugs into the institution. Main things we usually get is marijuana, the methamphetamine and heroin. Stuff that these inmates will make money off of. Narcotics is the number one thing. Got a call from r r, this was just a person sending an inmate eyeglasses. Its not an eyeglass box or anything, and when the nurse opened it up, she noticed a black substance that could possibly be heroin. Well nik test, field test to see if it comes back positive or not. We have them for different types. We got them for heroin, methamphetamines, for marijuana. If its positive its going to turn bright yellow. Its not turning any colors. That means its negative. Its not heroin. Number one is information gathering. We read mail. We talk to the inmates. We talk to staff. Listen to phone calls. They talk about it on the telephones and in the mail and theyll schedule a date which they come to visit. So we wait for them, when they come in, we serve them the search warrant. Most of the time females bringing in drugs, so myself and my partner perform unclothed body search and usually recover the drugs. When we get it, its usually like this. In a balloon, packaged up in bundles, sometime large like this, sometimes theyre in small ones. They may mix it up in a package of peanut m ms so it looks like hes just eating peanut m ms and hes really swallowing dope. It gets bigger every year, so it shows were doing a really good job over here. Most of the drugs getting into corcoran arrive through visitation. But for inmates like de moore hill conjugal visits are what keep him out of trouble in the first place. My wife come on fridays, you got to be 90 days clean. For a friday visit, so i would lose my friday visits and i would have to wait another six months clean to get another family visit and depending on the circumstances, dealing with drugs, a sticking or Something Like that, you can go a year or two without a family visit. So a lot i can lose. I would never want to lose my wife and kids in here over some nonsense. I try to do everything i can in a positive way to stay out of the way. Today, hills Good Behavior has earned him another conjugal visit with his wife. I go spend time with my wife for a couple days. Its hard to get that privilege, be a lot of stuff going on. Fights every day or something. If i have family visits, i wouldnt be as careful as i am today. It feels like youre free for a couple days. When youre sitting in that twobedroom apartment, its like youre at your own house. Just cant go outside, like a Junior High School kid on punishment. Just cant leave the house, you know what i mean . But its pretty good. You know what im saying, its a relief leaving, coming back is the hard part. The actual process leading up to the visit isnt much easier. Thats hill for a family visit. It can take hours for inmates to pass all of the security requirements before reaching the family visit units. Straight ahead. Hill. P70320. Go on through. Get in that van. Well drive over there. Today is the day that i get to come and spend a few days with my husband. Him being here is hard but we manage because we make sure we do everything according to each other and this time alone is important. Everybody needs affection and to spend that intimate time together. So doing that is extremely important. This is the twobedroom apartment right here. Hill has finally made it to the family visit unit, but his arrival doesnt mark the end of the procedure. In the past, families have brought in drugs and we need to make sure that theyre going to remain drugfree, alcoholfree and well do a urinalysis on him now and after as i bring him back to the yard. Let me go ahead and see your fingertips, make sure you dont have residue, any chemicals that could cause a negative result on urinalysis. Go ahead. Here is your cup. Go ahead and well do this in the bathroom. All right. While demoore completed his end of the process, for his wife, its just beginning. Because conjugal visits are sometimes used as opportunities to smuggle contraband into corcoran, officers must do a thorough search of everything the family brings in. Put all of the containers in clear plastic so its visible. We look through it, especially if theyve been opened, make sure there is nothing secreted inside. Almost time to go. I almost feel like an inmate myself being here. You cant come outside after dark. And then when we do come outside were still enclosed within more gates on the prison grounds, so thats kind of weird. At least i do get to leave. Its appreciated, though. I mean, just think, we werent even getting these visits at first. Hold up right here. Can i come in, daddy . How you doing . Hi, daddy. For all you have to go through, is this worth it . Its worth it. Its worth it. Its well worth it. While the hills enjoy their time together, the officers back in b yard hope they are one step closer to a find. Next on lockup extended stay, the search for contraband continues, but are the inmates one step ahead . Im telling you right now. Hmm. Exactly.
