i don t i don t mind it, though. i say i got too good of a heart, but nick gets it done. some people, i think, i m like, you know, he s a good guy, just let him go with that. but nick likes to charge everybody for everything. no matter what it is. something simple, give me a snack. sometimes i don t mind doing favors. but nick s good about it, though. we re going to go broke if we don t don t charge for everything. got to look out for me. got to make money. in the end, it s jail, so it s all about me. battaglia got his new position when the inmate who held it prior to him got into trouble. i replaced bernard. he got caught tattooing. they moved him to s-2 now. william bernard had already given himself a new hairstyle. he got into trouble when staff also noticed a freshly made
suboxone was brought in so i could support myself, you know. i made a little bit of money, but i also took it regularly. so you were in cahoots at all with the person on the back wall? no, no, not at all. we don t have a good history. at all. so, it s why? we just don t. well, i m going to assume something. if he s bringing it in and selling it, and you re bringing it in and selling it, is that a conflict? yeah, yeah. competition, perhaps? yeah. coming up i was going through it, opening, you know, checking for anything and then i ripped off the seal and we found four suboxone tabs right on the seal. and now another inmate is on the hot seat. do you look guilty in our eyes? what do you think?
actually could be providing helpful information about the suboxone that s coming into the jail. and hopefully we can follow some leads and prevent it from coming in. and you said once a week? once a week. at 50 a pop? 50 a pop. so he s making $350 profit over the course of 26 weeks, that you know of. so you re looking at $9100 total profit, tax-free. that s a lot. if that person was, in fact, getting in as much suboxone as he told me, that s a significant amount. and it can be dangerous to the facility, so that s something we try and prevent. the officer then presses battaglia to identify the inmate behind the suboxone smuggling. at least give me a little hint on it. battaglia only points to a nickname written on the wall without revealing the actual name of the inmate.
the big one? so you don t want to look like a rat? i respect that. the inmate that was mentioned is a smooth mover. he s a jailer. he did a significant amount of time in new york state prison system before he came here. so, you know, somebody to keep a watchful eye on. think you can get me back into s-4? i don t see a problem with that. appreciate that. his one request was to go back to a certain unit. i can grant that request. he helps me, i help him. that inmate s now in my pocket. i do him a favor, he wants to return the favor and tell me what s going on. so, you know, one hand has to wash the other. coming up you guys are suspicious of a package or something coming in that would be suspect, bring it to the attention of your supervisor. staff gears up to choke off the drug flow.
not even the inmate worker who used to cut his hair. my barber, he stabbed somebody 27 times. they wound up taking him out of the unit. then he bailed out of there and got in a fire fight with police officers and got shot 27 times. my bunky before kidnapped somebody at gunpoint. was doing all types of drugs. he was doing robberies. so you just you don t know who you re sleeping with. one of the times bernard does leave his cell is to perform his duties as united maintenance worker, but he says even that led to trouble when another inmate got angry because bernard threw away the lid to a soup bowl. he came up behind me and just smacked me and smacked all the stuff out of my hands so it was all over the floor. because of his fear of being a snitch, bernard says he does not report his harassment to staff. and he says it was another set of problems in the free world that put him in this predicament. after my ex had left me, she
