(ominus music) (hip-hop music) - It's always loud, there's
always something going on. They do not sleep. (inmates shouting) My mind is like, "why
are you doing this?" - You can't avoid Dashaun. I'm just getting annoyed. I'm starting to feel
my patience slipping. - Donny is getting
too close to Delrico, and that concerns me. - After he left, I kinda, I
was, uh mad, a little bit. I was comfortable with him. - People were
slipping everywhere. How about get another
trustee in here to clean this up so
that we don't fall or hurt ourselves. - This is a raggedy ass jail,
America, this is sewer water. - [Jessica] Inside, rain
pouring, the water was like, gushing down. I don't have to deal with this. I have a choice. (electronic music) - It's so frustrating. So frustrating. And I just, I can't,
I can't deal with it. And these people, like... Are not my caliber of people. I definitely didn't
expect people to actually do drugs, and do it so openly. I can't do this. The living standards, and then the flood, it
was just water everywhere like we were in a sewer. Everything is just
(beep) filthy. And I'm over it. I feel like, yes, I've learned all that I want to learn. I have everything you guys need, I'm just over it,
I'm ready to go. I want out, yes. Okay. - [Inmate] How was it? (pensive music) - I've watched the show, I know that I'm not the
only participant. I believe that Calvin
might be in the program. I tried giving him key
bits of information. I was like, "He will know." - He kept talking to me
as if he was a reporter. You're trying to
get a story, okay, I got you, I know where
you're going with this. - He was like, "I'm
on a federal hold." When he said that I was like. Which you can be on a
federal hold, I guess, but you know, most of the
people that's in the center are in here for like,
drug trafficking, probation violation,
things like that, nobody's on federal hold. The red flags was, he
didn't live in Atlanta. Mostly everybody in
here lives in Atlanta, actually, everybody
does, you know. He's supposed to be in another
county, but he came here, just like me, and I
was scared to ask him, because I knew if I
asked and I was wrong, it could be trouble. (ominous music) (murmuring) - Ah, man, I'm feeling, you know, I'm
anxious, I don't know, sometimes my mind just be,
it be all over the place. (murmuring) Delrico, after he left, I was
kind of mad, a little bit. It's definitely hard when you're in there by yourself,
you're like, "There's nobody in here,"
you know what I'm saying? I'm just, it was just
like quiet in there. My dad did a ten year stretch, you know what I'm saying? And he told me he was in the
cell by himself for ten years. I can't imagine being
in there for ten years, man, I'd probably lose my mind. Some people mentally can do it, are stronger than
others, some people mentally can't deal with it,
you know what I'm saying? And I don't know if
I can really do it. (pulsing synth music) - [Operator] Hello,
please hold while we attempt to connect your call. - I always tell myself, you have a reason for doing this,
you're not doing this for fun, but I am physically having
a hard time being here because I'm just so tired
of being uncomfortable and feeling disgusting, and
not sleeping, it's just hard. It's very lonely,
I'm my own support, and that's hard
because I've never been my own support, I've
always leaned on someone else. It gives uncomfortable a
whole new meaning for me. I don't see how
people live like this. (light rap beat) (inmates laughing) - Calvin seemed like
he was following me. He kept having his eyes on me, so I asked him, "Are
you on 60 Days In?" I believe that were
stronger as a team, I mean, if anything
happened, we'd have to have each other's back, so
that was sense of relief. - Yeah, I made some new friends, you know me and Nate, you know, we started bonding or whatnot. We figured out that we're
both a part of the project. It's a scary thing
to take that chance and not be right, so I was
kind of blowing him out. (driving music) - Six, zero, seven. Oh, damn. - [Trustee] There's no
sitting on the stairs, gentleman, in here, no
sitting on the table. - Any time you see
new guys come in here, you're like, oh, new
guy, I wonder how he is, you know what I'm saying? So he comes in
here, and he like, guy just looked at me like that, I mean that dude looked
weird right there, like, he looked crazy. And the dude, he look
like the Unabomber. One guy was like, "Man
you better keep the eye open, looking at
him, he look crazy." So I go in there,
introduce myself, you know, "I'm Don." I mean, he didn't say nothing. Then I was like,
this dude is weird, he didn't even say nothing. I don't really trust
nobody in jail. Everybody in jail
might be a thief, might steal something from
you, you don't even know. You still gotta watch your back, because you never know,
cause somebody can one moment, can try to get you. - You know what I'm saying? (eerie music) (pensive music) - Calling somebody on
the phone while in jail is very important,
you get to make sure everybody at home is okay. You can use them
as a support system while you're in here,
and I don't have that. I can't call my family,
I can't call my mom. If I was to call her,
that's the first thing she's gonna hear, it
says, "You have a call "from an inmate at
Fulton County Jail." The beginning portion
of that conversation will state where I'm
at, and that could put the program in jeopardy. The girls don't really
know my circumstance, they just know I can't
call home because my mom's always busy or
it's so expensive to call, because they know she doesn't
live here kind of thing. - You know? (laughing) - [Inmate] I got you on that. - I figured Matt was in,
I heard him talking to some other people about
being on a federal hold, out of state, so I
knew that there was definitely, you know,
something going on there. - Even if I knew for
sure, I wasn't gonna say anything out loud,
and we would just silently acknowledge
that we're possibly in the same situation,
because I don't need anybody hearing (beep)
about anything, you know? But we all acknowledged it. It's good to know the other
people that are in it. I guess it lends some
kind of support system. For me, I'm just gonna
keep doing what I'm doing, acting like I'm
here legitimately, just trying to safely
navigate through this chaotic situation
that's stressful. And maybe teach these
kids a little more about playing Spades than
they think they know. (nervous music) - [Jessica] Yes? - [Jessica] I slept
horribly last night. - Yeah? - At the end of the
day, I have to do what's best for me. I'm a professional,
I'm a wife, I'm a mom. - [Officer] Close it up! - [Jessica] I need my sanity,
so it feels great to me. It has definitely been an
eye-opening experience, something that I
never, ever want to experience again in my life. I could not make
it in jail at all. - Losing Jessica is definitely
gonna hurt the program. It's disappointing. - No part of me
was sad to leave. If I could have
ran the entire way out of the building,
I would have ran. With my situation
with my husband, this is really personal. I wanted to participate
because I wanted to understand why Reuben
was so aggressive. [Officer] Now Jessica, face me. - [Officer] Alright, Jessica,
you're a free woman. - Thank you. - [Officer] Alright, take care.
- Thank you. - You too. - [Jessica] The environment
makes you aggressive. So I get it now. Well, I just got
out of jail, and I'm feeling good now, I'm calm. Oh my God, look at me. I look crazy. Real toothpaste, oh my God. The flavor. The thing that I'm
most looking forward to right now is calling
my husband Reuben. He'll be happy to
hear from me, but he's gonna wanna
know what's going on, like what happened. - [Jessica] Reuben! - Reuben, it's me. - I'm out, I got out. - Yeah, I mean, I'll
talk about it later, but I'm just happy that
I'm out, seriously. - Okay, that's
fine, alright, bye. - I knew that was gonna happen. I knew it. I knew he would be disappointed, but he doesn't know
what caused me to leave. Oh my God, this looks
so freaking good. Mmm! So, I know he's happy. Once I explain it
to him, he'll be, he's understanding,
he's a good man so... - [Inmate] Michelle! - Okay. - I think with Jessica
leaving when she did, I don't think we
can afford to lose either one of the females
that are left at this point. If we fail to reach
Michelle today, I'm afraid that
we might lose her. But I'm here to hopefully
keep that from happening. Hey there, Michelle! How you doing, trooper? - [Michelle] Okay. - Don't look like you're
standing too tall right now. - I'm not. I'm trying my
hardest, I am. (sighs) Didn't think it was gonna
be this hard, though. I really didn't. - You're probably
starting to see, with your cellmates,
the reasons why these women are going to jails. - Absolutely. - Now my understanding
is, is that you come in, and you've been
accepted in this group, this band of sisters. - I've got a couple of
them to talk a little bit, but not too in depth. - You have a unique ability to get to know these ladies
in a way no one else can. I think she's feeling isolated. She is not in the
support structure that she's used to,
and she's finding it probably difficult
to identify with the individuals she
is living with now. So we're really hoping
that we can keep Michelle engaged and motivated
and maybe get her to amp up her game. I think if you come
out of your shell and really engage, I
think this will become a part of your life that
you're gonna remember and pass on, maybe get involved
in your community back home. How you feeling? - A little bit better
now that I talk, - Alittle bit better? now that I've heard
what you had to say. - Let me assure you that this
isn't a waste of your time. - True, well I said
at the beginning if I can just make a
change for one person, it would all be worth it, so... - There you go. - There you go. - But thank you, I needed
that little boost, I'm feeling - pretty down today. - Absolutely welcome. (tense music) - Unfortunately, gangs
are predominantly black, and especially the gangs
that are in here are, and then it's like
me, being black, and in their age range,
they might ask you, "So who you with,
who you claim?" I guarantee you, none of
the white people in there got approached to what
gang they associated with. - I think me and Too Tall
relationship is going good. You know, I actually feel
more secure in a dorm now, cause I feel like,
you know, if somebody tries to mess with
me, I feel like he's gonna advocate for me. Let him use my tablet, you know, and then in return,
I think people just give him respect for that. - Too Tall has
probably eight, nine gang members that actively
are following him. He's got a lot of pull in there. If he doesn't like something,
it could get ugly real quick. - It's already hard
enough being in jail, and then to actually have
people mess with you, it makes it even harder. Q just makes himself
an easy target now. You kinda have to handle
people, you know, gently. - You're a fool,
too anybody, like if you don't stick up for
yourself, you ain't a man. - [Trustee] Everybody
by your doors, tray up, trays up, by your door. - Everybody sits up,
everybody's waiting for the situation to explode. - You have to go by
other people's rules and you don't have a
say in anything, really. - He was real
vulnerable, and I know he's in a tough position because he didn't wanna give up his food and look like a punk. - At the end of the day,
you're not going to tell any of the gang
members what to do. You have to play
along with their game because this is
their playground. So it's their
rules, not my rules. - C'mon, bitch, hey. - I'll stay right here. - On this floor, right
here, where we are, this is fighting floor, you
will fight a whole bunch. So we had to do what we do,
it's just the way it's at. - He's just an easy target,
people mess with him. - The whole situation,
being here, I feel unsafe. There's no time where
I feel completely safe. - Reggie's got
his dang shoes on! - Too Tall sent someone
else to fight Q. And then Q and another
guy had got in a fight. - Everything gets taken serious,
nothing is taken lightly. You can't act the same way in
jail as you do on the streets. Q was crying, you know,
you gotta toughen up here, ain't nobody gonna feel sorry. - I feel like I have a
little burst of energy. My reasons for coming
were drowned by sadness, and now they've kind
of come to the surface. I can be a change
for people here to make change in the
criminal justice system across the nation. - I think it's important for
me to try to help Sydney, because I hoped to meet someone that I could change their path. - I am concerned for
Dashaun, I think Dashaun needs a lot of help. I do wanna help this
kid as much as I can. And it may be a lost
cause, but why not try? - Big thing that changed
was I had to realize that I am the outsider here. If Dashaun wasn't
brought up with the struggles that he's
had, he wouldn't be behaving this way. You can't totally blame the kid, he's 18 years old, he hasn't had a stable environment to live in, he's had to, he's
been shot, I mean. - There was a huge
moment where I realized, hey, I'm judging
this kid, just like I'm asking everybody
else not to do. I think I really started to look at him in a different way. - [Jon] I will continue
to be as helpful and make as many
connections as I can. (pensive music) - Hey, Jessica, how you doing? - [Jessica] Hi, I'm great. - Standing tall?
- [Jessica] Yep. - [Col. Adger] So how
was last night for you? - I just had to kind of
like get back into reality. Because being in there
changed my reality, I had no more control,
I'm back in control now. - So let me ask you
this, for someone who was in jail for real,
how do you think it would be for them to
reintegrate to the community? - It would take a while,
it would take a while, like with my husband,
it took months. He's still adjusting. - Did you communicate
outside to your husband while you were incarcerated? - [Jessica] I did. - You did, and how was it? - I would ruin his day
because of my attitude. - What kind of things
did you see troubled you? - The first thing,
drugs and pills. They're being crushed, put into this thing called whippet. If you're taking
someone's medicine that's like way
bigger, the effect that it has on you
could be deadly. - It's gonna be strong. - Hiding places. With the roll-on
deodorant that we get, they break that top apart,
and stick stuff in there. - [Col. Adger] They're
hiding the pills? - Mhmm. - We were expecting to get
this amount of information after 60 days, why not
see that plan to the end? I think you made a
hell of an investment, only to quit before
the dividends came out. - I lost me, that's
what happened, I lost me, and I couldn't. - But you were needed,
I hope you realize that. - Thank you. - Sure. - Jessica, she gave
us at least a heads-up as to what we should
be looking for. - We're going to shake
down both the inmates and also search throughout the
housing zone for contraband. (uneasy music) - [Zack] Nice to meet you. - I'm Zack. That's basically, he
just said, hi, I'm Zack. He's just weird
acting to me, man. Sharing with somebody like that, that's totally different
from my first cellmate, it's weird, man,
I'm not used to it. You know what I mean? I'm used to somebody
talking back. You don't want to be in
a room with a cellmate, and then y'all bumping heads, y'all ain't getting along,
you know what I'm saying? That ain't gonna work. - I had to break the ice, say a couple things to
him just to see. You can't judge a
book by its cover, so when you get
to know a person, you'll be like, oh,
this dude, he's alright. You know what I'm saying? - He wanted to fight
on his birthday. It's called one-on-one. If I challenge you, and
you're a gang member, I challenge the gang. If somebody has made
themself a target, you almost have to
just let the guys take care of what they
need to take care of. - When people have
birthdays in there, some people will
be mad, some people wanna stay in a
room, this dude today wanted to be Mr. Big Dog. - I wanted to go in
there and just be like, sit down and shut
up, but he just wouldn't shut up. - As far as the
gangs, if one goes, they all gonna go,
you know, it's not gonna be a fair fight. - I'm like Saddam Hussein. You (beep) up, you
gonna get killed. (restless music) - People, they don't
got nothing better to do than just start trouble. What happens in jail when you
get frustrated and annoyed, it's gonna come to
something violent. - He always talking
the tough guy talk. Hey, you gonna get beat up. (punches landing constantly) - That shows you
that Too Tall has got a lot of pull in there,
being the pod boss. - The gang's gotta just
exert some pressure on the situation just
to remind everybody that they're there, and
they have some kind of coordinated power. (punches landing uninterrupted) (beep) (beep) - He kept talking
reckless, so we did what we had to do and beat him. - After the beat down,
all normal business, sat back down,
started playing cards, they went over,
talked on the phones. (keys clinking) (edgy rock music) - Okay guys, we're
about to go into the Union City facility,
we're going to be hitting pod I and pod D. - We're sending in the
DART Team, that's a group of highly trained
correctional officers, to shake down the women's pod, because when Jessica left,
she gave us information about contraband that they're
not permitted to have. - They're hoarding
a lot of pills, so we're looking for
any medication that's not claimed or that there
shouldn't be any of in the room, We need to go ahead
and take it out. - Any disruptions, anybody
that gets disorderly, we expect you to
isolate and control. Take 'em, cuff
'em, take 'em out. On three, DART, one, two, three. - [Group] DART. (driving beat) - We get them out you
sit them down, we'll let the dog
go through, then we'll start our search,
after the dog goes through. - [Kirt Beasley]
Captain Winfrey, go back here and
conduct this shakedown. (driving music) - Ladies, step out! - When the DART
Team first ran in, you heard toilets flushing. (mimics toilet flush) You flush, those toilets can
suck up a soul if you let them. They're flushing
everything in them toilets. - [Michelle] 15, 20
officers come in. I didn't know what was going on or what they were
trying to find. (DART Team shouting) - [Officer] Your back should be
touching the wall. (hip hop beat) - Ladies, step out! - [DART Team Member]
Backs up against the wall! - Basically the whole
pod got shook down. - They continue messing
with Marcus for two reasons, one, because he claimed to
be in a gang that he's not, and two, he's not fighting. You have to fight. - Put your hand up. - [Trustee] Yeah,
I mean, it's deep. - Hey, what'd you
lock me in there for? I know I'm an inmate, but
you aint gonna treat me whatever way you want to. - Oh yea? - [Don] Thought I
was going to the hole.
