of the 3,000 inmates at the santa rita jail near oakland, about 10% are women. most of them live in general population units where they re free to be out of their cells and socialize several hours per day. but approximately 20 other female inmates live a far more confined life in the jail segregation unit. those are the people housed separately. there s one person per cell. never allowed to be two people in a cell. it can be anybody from a high-profile case, can be a safety issue, it could be somebody who does not i call it doesn t play well with others. they don t fit in with the general population setting. kelsey, you got one hour. all right. each of the women is allowed out of their cells one at a time for one hour per day. don t be mad because you re not out.
kelsey erwin uses her time to make daily rounds with nearly all the other women in segregation. ebony, you re coming out next, bud. kelsey think she runs this house. she thinks she runs ad-seg. i love you. she s the hottest. lift your shirt up. she has a really nice ass, she s just hiding it. she thinks she s queen bee in the santa rita jail. the deputies are the queen bees. we run the houses. some people say you don t find friends in jail. i think victims don t find friends in jail. there s a lot of us that actually click together. i m just loud, i guess. i have a lot to say. i think most of the deputies here, they all know me by name because i m pretty loud. go to your window! she s very lively, she s very personable. she loves to talk.
said, i d like to make the best out of any [ bleep ] situation i m in. that s the way i m looking at it now. not only has guzman, a former high school wrestler, begun to exercise, she s acquired a personal trainer. you can do it. put your back into it. i m tired. hit the pushups. do it. just get it over with. just do five pushups. it s her upstairs neighbor, kelsey erwin. now go to the arm dips. then you ll walk it out. i still haven t lost hope. i basically came to like tell myself, you re probably going to be in here for the rest of your life. get used to it. what guzman can t accept is living in the administrative segregation unit for much longer. i m going to see if they can take me out of here, man. yeah, get out of the ad-seg. what? you don t want these loud ass bitches all around. it sucks. certainly parts entirely. but it s mind over matter. i m trying to be as sane as
the first-time inmate is awaiting trial for the murder of a former classmate, justice afoa. this is my home kind of. yeah. because her case is considered high-profile after making local news, guzman is housed in the jail s female segregation wing where she can be better protected. i m in the worst situation possible. i can get in more trouble. it s hard sometimes. it s really hard. guzman has only made one friend in the unit. kelsey erwin, an inmate well-known for trouble has taken her under her wing. i trusted her as far as showing me the ropes and everything and i m very appreciative because of what she did and helping me out and just being my mentor. but now guzman is back on her own. erwin has just been released to the streets. kelsey not being here, it was really hard the first day because usually you hear her being super loud, yelling, trying to get everybody pumped up and happy and her not being here the first day was really hard.
she loves to have the spotlight on her so to speak. happy birthday. thank you. she came in, it s just like the average everyday person. over the years of her coming back again and again and again. she s developed almost a hierarchy. almost a shot-caller in the house. that s the [ bleep ] i m talking about, don t ask me to be quiet ever. that s the [ bleep ] i m talking about. i can network with everyone. i know everyone from the street and it s just like i can utilize every single person for something to make my stay more comfortable. happy birthday from f pod. thank you. happy birthday, have fun it s your birthday from ebony, i love you. happy birthday baby. i ve been here for a year. meeting you is a breath of fresh air. i look forward to our continued friendship. thank you, tweet! welcome. i love you. kelsey erwin is in the ad-seg setting because we ended up having a lot of problems on the minimum side. it started to become more and more apparent. we d hear f
