Unlocked: A Jail Experiment (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

1
[tense music playing]
[narrator] With the program
in its final days,
the sheriff has challenged the pod
to vote out anyone
who has been undermining
the success of the program.
Gentlemen, that's, uh, that ends the vote.
I'm gonna go ahead and say thank you.
[officer] Straighten out!
I was, like, one of the main ones
who was doing illegal stuff in here.
I was like, "Man,
either I'm gonna get told on
or I'm gonna like get voted out."
You know what I mean?
[Ty] Get the fuck
[Eastside] Jail helps you
look at your whole life.
So now I wouldn't say I'm like
like, just gonna listen to somebody else.
I'm just gonna take into consideration
on what other people are saying
and evaluate myself,
uh
and some of the stuff I'm doing.
You hit a spot in your life
to where you don't even want
negative stuff in your life anymore.
And I feel like
I've hit that spot this time.
[narrator] Knowing that
he was the instigator,
Eastside feels a responsibility to the pod
to tell the deputies
that he will take the charges
for the wicks and the hooch.
[music increases, fades]
[Randy indistinct]
No. McAllister?
-[Ty] He's my celly.
-Where's he at?
He's asleep.
-What room? Okay.
[Ty] Going for the gold!
[poignant music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
I've been informed by one of the deputies
that there's an individual in the unit
that wants to take the charges,
take responsibility,
uh, for the actions in there.
Sign your copy right there.
He was a G with it. Came in here
and was like, "Yeah, it was mine."
When it comes to Eastside, it's just like,
if you get bopped, you get bopped.
But I do respect him
because he took his lick, you know.
All right, that's it.
They'll be talking to you in a little bit.
[peppy music playing]
[exhales]
I took the heat for it completely.
Come on, man. Hell no.
I knew what it was when I started it.
Comes with the game.
This is not a normal situation
where an individual comes forward
and takes responsibility
for the entire unit,
for the entire pod. It's really unusual.
To have them do that,
take that responsibility,
it's very encouraging
that this could work,
that this could go beyond
just an experiment, so to speak.
Well, we're finna not be cellies no more.
[Eastside] Nope.
You're gonna miss me, huh?
Don't flatter yourself.
He's gonna miss me.
[Eastside] The reset got me
to open my eyes a little bit.
Me and Ty in the same room
was just gonna keep getting us in trouble.
You know what I mean?
So I moved in with Preston.
You gonna be straight.
You know, I'll make sure of it.
You ain't gotta worry about it.
That's a good thing.
Preston's more, like,
calm and collected and chill.
You know, he's, you know,
he's not like my type of person,
but he's a cool guy.
It's nothing against him, you know?
[Eastside] Ty's a good kid,
but he looked up to me
and all the criminal stuff I was doing.
And I didn't want to show him that
no more. You know what I mean?
I needed to set a better example.
Teach him, like, "You can be positive
from you doing time too, you know."
[inmate] Now whenever
they put you on restriction,
what does that mean for you?
[Eastside] Um, no commissary,
no phone calls,
and no kiosk.
I think that's about it.
-That's crazy.
-Yeah.
How long are they going to do
your restriction?
I don't know.
I'm not going to remove him from the unit
because he's taken ownership.
He'll be held accountable.
He'll be disciplined.
Take away some of the phone usage,
uh, commissary.
Uh, things like that.
I think a week of discipline
for him is appropriate.
And I'm hoping that by leaving him there,
that his acceptance of responsibility
will resonate with
the other detainees in that unit.
What I'm doing is rewarding
the positive actions that they're taking,
and I'm telling the staff
that I'm canceling the vote.
[music increases]
[music fades]
N-38!
N-38!
[funky music playing]
[inmate] Oh, that's a long way off.
[Crooks] B or G?
[indistinct chatter]
[inmate 2] I-26!
I-26!
Ain't losing my goddamn dough.
Fuck that.
Shit, I'm keeping my goddamn dough.
The sheriff said
that we ain't gotta vote nobody out,
which has given us
a little leeway to ourselves as men.
You know,
that feels good to the soul, man.
I-17!
Eastside, taking the rap for this shit.
I respect him for doing that.
The board is getting too deep around here.
[inmate 2] Play it, sir.
N-32!
[inmate 3 exclaims]
-Goddamn, son!
-[Big Mel] What's that?
I called it!
Bingo! Bingo!
[laughing and chattering]
[inmate] Oh!
[whimsical music playing]
[Ty] Oh fuck. AJ's back!
[Eastside] Oh! Shit! Yo!
That's my motherfucking homeboy
right there!
Yeah! Yo, what's up, boy?
[indistinct chatter]
[narrator] After a week
in solitary confinement,
AJ returns to H unit
for the final stretch of the program.
They put me on suicide watch
and threw me in the hole.
[indistinct chatter]
It felt like I was returning back home
after being gone a long time.
Uh, the welcome committee was pretty nice.
Yeah, it feels good to be back, man.
It really does.
[Eastside] What's up, boy!
[AJ] What's up, boy.
[music ends]
[Don Don] Man, how was the hole?
[AJ] Man, it fucking sucks.
[Don Don] Good to see you back.
[AJ] Good to be back.
[Don Don] I bet.
[ambient music playing]
[AJ] It's nasty in the hole too.
You have a bunk, but you don't have
a mattress when you're on suicide watch.
And they give you one blanket.
You have no mat to sleep on.
I guess so you don't, like, I don't know,
so you don't choke yourself out.
You can't hurt yourself with it.
You know what I mean?
Here is freaking heaven
compared to the hole.
Yeah, I'm very happy to be back.
I was thinking about this unit
the whole time I was there.
And I was worried that
they weren't gonna bring me back here.
I was worried they were gonna keep me
on suicide watch for so long
and then somebody else was gonna
get moved in and my spot would be taken.
In my opinion, this is the best unit
in the whole jail right now, like
I feel like the guys in here have my back.
They're rocking with me.
-I'm glad you're back though, bro.
-[AJ] Me too.
Glad to have you back
in this motherfucker.
[indistinct chatter]
Everything's came together now.
We got it.
[music fades]
[rock music playing]
[narrator] With only ten days left
in the program
and the unit feeling settled,
the sheriff is ready to reveal
a final freedom for the unit.
Extra visitation time.
[inmate] Guard! Hey!
So visitation in this facility
normally is once every two weeks.
I've already increased the phone calls.
And now I'm gonna increase the visitation.
[indistinct chatter]
And there's positive
and negatives in that.
We know it's so important
to have those personal interactions
with family members.
It encourages you
while you're in the facility.
It also keeps a connection
with the family.
They giving us two visits, three visits.
Like, your family can come twice a week.
But there's a negative in it too. Uh
Maybe people don't come visit.
Uh, or you schedule a visit,
and they don't show up.
Uh, so that can have a negative impact.
I think that there's a greater chance
for a positive interaction.
And so I think
it's important to be able to do this,
important to give them that opportunity.
[music ends]
"Each person will be allowed
two visits per week."
"These visits per usual will need
to be scheduled per normal protocols."
"Please use this increased time
to reconnect with your loved ones
on the outside."
Better than getting one a week, you know.
You know what I'm saying?
-[Parkinson] Every week we get two visits.
-[K3] Yeah.
Every week, we get two visits.
Every week, we get two visits.
Any day?
[Parkinson] Any day.
Except for Saturday and Sunday.
Oh, they calling
[Parkinson] Me! Me!
The other ho? We finna yeah.
Bitch, I need you.
I can't say they don't care.
-[both exclaiming]
-[upbeat music playing]
We got two visitations a week?
Man, I'm too excited. Man, I'm finna have
motherfuckers left and right.
Wooda-wooda-boo come,
finna have wooda-wooda-woo come,
and then next week, you come,
and then you come, and then you come
Yeah, I'm too excited.
[music fades]
[indistinct chatter]
[inmate] Where are my visits?
Where are my visits?
[inmate 2] Let's go Arkansas.
[Crooks] My sister's the only person
that I really have.
Being able to talk to my family,
you know, on a regular basis?
That's what helps me.
So it's like without having that,
it'd be really easy
to go back into negativity.
And then be mad at the world,
mad at everything
'cause we're stuck in this cell
and can't do nothing.
[pensive music playing]
You around the same peoples
everyday up in here.
Only times you can get close to someone
on the outside is on the phone.
But when you see 'em,
it make things better for you.
I mean, you're less stressful.
You're less worried.
[indistinct chatter]
[music fades]
It's kinda good we've got these people
looking out for us and doing these things.
-Hell yeah, it's pretty cool.
-It's a blessing.
Two visits a week, man, is really cool.
Yeah, I like it, man.
I can correspond with my family more.
See what's going on out there.
[Crooks] I hope I go up there and visit.
My sister said Monday or Tuesday.
I'll find out later on today.
I got a good family.
With everybody, it never felt like
they were really my family
except for my little sister.
She's a blessing.
But, I mean, besides that? Nah.
I never felt no connection
except for methamphetamine.
I be scheduling me a visit for this week.
I talked to the mother of my child.
My son. They're finna come up here.
I haven't seen my child
come to visit me in a place like this.
And more or less, the mother of my child.
How him and his mom, you know,
getting along without me
being there and shit.
-You know?
-Inserting yourself back into his life?
Yeah, it's been a few years.
Yeah, man. Ready see my little man.
I gotta let a lot of my pride shit go,
you know what I'm saying?
Because I don't like
to deal with his mother.
Me and her wasn't really
doing together or corresponding
and kind of affected him a little bit.
You know? There's a lot of shit
I gotta put to the fucking side,
and deal with her in certain situations,
you know what I'm saying?
Because this is the mother of my child.
So I'm working on really trying.
I am worried they're not gonna be able
to make it, but I hope they do.
That's really cool. I hope it works out.
I hope you go visit and I see you there.
That's good. I'm glad, man.
-[Tiny] No doubt.
-That's what's up.
[slow hip-hop music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Parkinson] Hell yeah. See the fam, right?
My dad, my brother, my sister, man.
I ain't seen 'em so long.
It's finna be good.
Gonna get a little visit,
get a little talk.
What up, boy?
[Parkinson] Whoo! There's my boy.
And we get there, right there.
-What's up?
-My boy, brah. I miss you, bro.
I feel like this program
is really important,
not only for us,
but for the family out there.
[CJ] Hey, Poppa!
I love you!
[CJ exclaiming]
-[visitor] Hey, baby. I love you.
-I love you.
You wanna come right here?
This motherfucker boom. He's so big.
[narrator] Even though
the accessibility is there,
it doesn't guarantee
that everyone will get a visit.
My mom got in touch with me recently.
Like, she's, like, back in my life.
You know, but
It's not like a real bond,
like a mother-son bond.
You know what I'm saying?
She said she was
supposed to come visit me,
and she said she's been busy.
So I don't know.
It do hurt because it's like,
"You should come see me. I'm in jail."
"I've been in here for so and so."
But I really just stop asking.
[music fades]
[melancholy music playing]
I've always looked out for my brother,
since we were little kids.
Before he came to jail,
he was actually reaching out to me
to try to find a rehab for him.
He's so institutionalized,
and he was so far out.
He wanted to go to rehab,
and I just don't think that he really knew
or could slow down to stop
and try to research it.
I know this. I can't, like,
get high anytime at all and be okay.
It's not gonna happen.
I can't like, "We'll just get high
for the weekend." That don't work.
"We'll just do a little bit."
No, I won't just do a little bit.
I'll do a whole lot.
[Juanita] Yeah, I know.
I've been drilling my kids
about drugs every day.
Like every day. I'm like,
"Boo, you start doing drugs, that's it."
I'm definitely ready to go to rehab.
It took me to sober up.
I actually, truthfully,
before I got arrested, I kept begging.
I was begging. I'd call my sister and say,
"Please find a rehab out of state
for me to go to."
Because I had already
made that choice, that decision.
I didn't have the strength
to stop myself in the end,
but now that I've got here,
stopped, and cleared my head,
I'm not gonna let anything stop me.
Basically what I'm trying to do is, like,
let go of that other stuff
and grab a hold of helping people.
-And just speaking on that.
-Yeah, make that your passion.
'Cause I like it. I like to help people.
I legitimately do.
This program has helped him out
so much. Tremendously.
These inmates, they need stuff like that.
And in prisons, they really do.
Because they're eventually gonna get out,
and we need this type
of rehabilitation or encouragement.
They're just gonna go right back in, so
Uh
Yeah, it's great.
This has helped him out a lot.
This time I can really see a difference,
so I'm really fighting for him.
-Just choose
-Yeah, you can just send them.
-All right. Love you. Talk to you later.
-All right, love you.
[Crooks] I miss my sister.
I'm really thankful
about the extra visitation.
There's no way I'd see her without that.
[Randy] So y'all on y'all way up here?
So, uh
[woman on phone] I'm picking her up now.
Had to get through traffic.
[Randy] So Mama ain't coming?
[woman] I can't do nothing!
All right, I might as well go in my room
and shut the door
and don't talk to nobody.
[woman] Oh boy.
[Randy] 'Cause I been looking
at three months since I seen Mama.
[woman] I know.
[Randy] I really wanna see my mom.
I lost my older brother
March the 25th of last year.
And my mom's so worried about me.
A lot of folks in here
don't really understand,
but it's very important
to have a visit, to see they face.
Because you'll never know
when you won't see they face no more.
[music fades]
Well
Ugh.
[funky percussive music playing]
[Higgins] So this is near
the end of the program.
They have one last challenge.
And I think it's probably
gonna be the biggest challenge.
-Chief.
-[Hendricks] Sheriff. How are you, sir?
All right, doing good.
We're gonna transition some people in,
but this is the reality
of a detention facility.
You're gonna have people
coming in and out.
And so new people coming in,
they will not have had the experience
to this new, you know, the doors open
and this new freedom
and responsibility for community.
And if we're gonna think
about if this works,
how do we transition
to other units in this facility?
[pensive music playing]
I know we need to do it.
There's no doubt
we gotta put some people in there.
But But, uh
my concern is
when they come in,
what's the environment going to be?
Are they gonna adjust?
So I don't know
what their attitude's gonna be coming in.
I could have that person say,
"I don't care about y'all, anything else."
"I'mma do what I want to do
and create problems."
You know, I'm thinking that
the new people going in there
are gonna see right away
that it's an environment
that's maybe more to their liking.
And so there's a plus there
for them to go ahead
and act right when they get there.
What are our people gonna do?
The people that are in there now?
How are they gonna adjust
to, uh, some people coming in.
It's a transient population,
and they know
that they're gonna have to get used to
dealing with other people,
other personalities,
and those kinds of things.
And so it doesn't change
as far as that goes.
Most of these guys
have been in jails before.
And so they understand
the dynamic of, you know,
there's gonna be people
emptying out all the time
and people coming back in all the time.
-We need to monitor this closely.
-Will do, sir.
Because there's gonna be
some adjustments that are gonna happen
with them coming in.
Let me know
if we're starting to see any problems.
-Ten-four.
-All right. Okay. Appreciate it, sir.
-You're welcome, sir.
-Thank you.
Hopefully, things'll go well.
It'll be interesting to see
how they respond.
But it will definitely give me an idea
of how do we move forward.
Is this a possibility
or, you know, just a dream?
[funky hip-hop music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Crooks] I think that when you bring
new people in, it changes.
It makes it It messes it up
because now you got these new
personalities that you gotta deal with.
Because they're gonna be stuck
coming from behind this door
where they don't trust nothing, you know?
"I'm gonna get down if I can" way.
Everybody else here
is trying to look out for each other.
And it's gonna be
like a whole 'nother headache.
And that bothers me. I don't like that.
How they let y'all in, man?
[indistinct chatter]
Anytime a new person come in,
I'm on lookouts
but my mindset was like, "Man,
it could be some shaky motherfuckers."
"Hope nobody don't fuck it up for us."
[indistinct chatter]
When new people come in,
things change, people change.
People react differently.
They talk differently.
I don't like it.
[narrator] The sheriff has asked
his deputies
to keep a closer
than usual eye on the unit
with the arrival of the new inmates.
Nah, this shit crazy.
I see a lot of dudes in here
who like like attention.
And as long as they stay out of my way,
I'mma stay in my own lane.
-[Owens] What's your last name?
-Weekley. W-E-E-K-L-E-Y.
He's an old cat.
He's been in the system for a minute.
He's affiliated,
which means he's an official OG.
Man.
[tense music playing]
[Squirrel] Did you get no job down there?
[Weekley] The only job I had
was taking other nigga's money.
[laughs]
Same thing I'm gonna do in here.
Get some of that money.
-Hell yeah.
-[Squirrel] They like it in here.
-They like for you to have their money.
-I like taking it too.
I mean, for real.
[indistinct chatter]
[Randy] I'm not ever a fan
of new people coming in,
'cause I already know
it's going to be some BS.
Then I feel something bad about him.
I just let folks know I don't like him.
It's 'cause he gonna be
a bad person up in here.
He gonna do this. He gonna do that.
I haven't felt that in a long time.
I just gotta feel him out.
[music fades out]
[narrator] With the ongoing
visitation privileges for the unit
How we do this? I ain't never did this.
Tiny has entrusted Crooks
to handle some essential prep work.
[Tiny] I'm gonna see my boy, man.
First time his visitation.
So, you know, try to get myself decent.
[funky music playing]
Hey, check this out.
Now, you see I did my mustache
'cause I do not want to look like you.
You look like shit, dawg.
[laughing] With no facial hair, huh?
[Tiny] Hell yeah, man.
I get a call from my kid.
He says, "Dad, I wanna see you."
Shit. I had to think right there.
I stopped everything.
I don't give a fuck where the fuck I'm at.
If I'm in Kalamazoo,
I'm gonna go see my boy.
I got you.
What I like to do is use this pencil, man.
That way the line be good,
you know what I'm saying?
And you see I'm not shaved.
They keep our razors from us.
We won't be able to
properly groom ourself.
I have to clean up.
[music ends]
Is this supposed to smell like this?
Mm-hmm. It's like acid or something.
This shit stinks, man.
[peppy music playing]
This smells like
some shit you pulled out the toilet, man.
My son is the main fucking reason
why I strive hard to get the fuck out.
I'm trying to really hurry up
and get out to his ninth grade year.
Spending more family time,
man, it's very important.
Got any kids?
-No kids.
-You ain't got no kids?
All the fucking you doing,
and you got no kids?
Mm-mm.
Shit fucking burns, dawg.
It burns, yeah.
Is this shit supposed to
fucking feel like this, man?
-Yeah. It's gonna burn a little bit.
-Shit. It burns and it stinks.
-It stinks.
-Is it supposed to be like that?
Nah, it's not gonna hurt or nothing,
but you gonna feel it, like, activating.
Don't they got this shit in the military?
I know this shit back in the day.
I think this shit came in a can.
-Like the old shit?
-Trying to see what it say.
See, it say, "Formulated for Black men."
Yeah?
If this hurt like that,
then you know for sure I'm half-white.
[laughs]
That shit hurts.
Go on, that shit right there.
You see that?
That's how you do it.
[music fades]
I'm feeling anxious,
nervous, and excited. You know?
I ain't seen my kid in a long time.
You never know what's gonna happen.
This shit fucking hurts.
My fucking face fucking hurts.
Yeah, that shit burns, man.
[jazzy music playing]
I think he'll be all right.
[inmate] This is commissary day!
[narrator] As the new inmates settle in,
there is additional excitement in H Unit
for the weekly arrival of commissary.
Commissary is money.
Noodles are dollars.
So you bet your dollar to a dollar.
Chips $1.50-type shit, so.
[Crooks] Everybody's got a little money
to kind of play with,
and you realize
everybody's gambling non-stop.
[female officer] Next!
That's all I hear.
It's something that, like,
will give people stuff to do.
So they're not bored.
When you're bored, you get in trouble.
There's, like, $200-something worth
of commissary in there.
[laughs]
I gambled, I have two-for-one.
They tried to break Vegas.
They trying to hit Vegas.
-[producer] They're not gonna break you.
-At all, you know what I'm saying?
People can have debt with commissary,
whether it's, um,
playing cards or dominoes,
and, you know, you lose
and what are you betting?
Of course, they're just supposed to
play the game, but betting happens.
You can remove
all the cards out of the unit,
then they'll continue to try to make dice
or whatever to gamble with.
We know that.
That can create tension,
but we haven't had
any real issues with them over that.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm hosting these tournaments today,
know what I'm saying?
Everybody. The dominoes.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm hosting It's going to be
a card game in a minute.
It's free. All you gotta do is sign up.
Just sign up and try to get you
a little something. Know what I'm saying?
[narrator] Flush with new commissary cash,
Squirrel decides to organize
a unit-wide tournament.
There's a domino tournament,
chess tournament.
Got a damn push-up tournament,
basketball tournament.
You know, shit.
He should have did
a "take a shower" tournament.
-[laughs]
-Yeah. But shit
Big six! Fuck that shit!
[Randy] Okay. Remember that. All in. Go.
[Squirrel] Oh, that's bogus money.
He called 15.
Shit, you know what I'm saying?
You said 15, nigga.
[indistinct]
Put that money down there.
[Randy] You keep talking, you gonna
Keep on. I'll tell ya.
[Weekley] Who is the page-turner?
-These people right there?
-Yo.
-You in there?
-[Weekley] Hell yeah. Shit.
The king has done everything, goddammit.
[Squirrel] Hey, quit looking back here
like you scared or something.
You got a nervous ass nigga.
That nigga there, man.
Watching everything, man.
When they holla on that man,
I'm that man.
[indistinct chatter]
It's a lot of, you know,
masculinity up in here, man. You know?
A lot of testosterone in here, man.
Everybody want to feel like,
"I'm better than you"
at whatever you're playing.
So make the odds a little bit better.
Why don't we put a noodle on it now.
You know?
A chip or two, from the basketball game
to the dice to the spades
to the chess game. So,
you know, it's a big deal, you know.
Yeah, you're full of shit. All right. Bye.
They called to say you're full of shit.
[music ends]
[CJ] I don't give a fuck.
Sixteen. Sixteen. Turn that shit over.
[ambient music playing]
[CJ] What the fuck you finna do?
Break!
Oh! I forgot. I ain't shooting dice.
I'm playing dominoes.
-Told you, bro.
-You pass? Huh?
I ain't finished.
Whoa, boy, look at the
Well they good but
Everybody's just talking.
Diamonds up against that wood!
[narrator] The stakes of the usually
lighthearted game have increased
with an intimidating
new inmate seated at the table.
This shit too easy.
Too easy?
Too easy!
Shit talk,
a little shit talk in this mofo.
[Weekley] The champ is here!
The champ is shit talking.
The champ is here! The champ is here.
The champ is here!
Come on, man. It take you that long
to dial in for that booty call.
Come on, now.
What the fuck is this, goddammit?
What the fuck is that?
You put it way on over here?
Hey, I can't read and wrote,
but I can damn sure count.
Whoo! [exclaiming]
-Ten more!
-What you talking about? What you have?
It don't matter what he had.
[laughs]
They been nitpicking CJ.
He can't play.
Period. Now that's one that can't play.
But you know what I'm saying?
They nitpicking him.
[CJ] Shit, man.
Hah! Come on, then.
[dramatic music playing]
[narrator] After five hours
of the casino tournament,
only the diehards are left in the game,
and tension between CJ and Weekley
has continued to mount.
[indistinct chatter]
He's cheating!
[Weekley] Brother, I don't cheat.
On my mama, he was cheating. On my kids,
on colors I caught him cheating.
On colors, I caught him cheating.
I knew it.
[Mayham] He was cheating.
Pretty much stealing too, though.
The $15 he was taking from a lot of people
cheating in the spade game,
so CJ caught him in his bullshit.
Got on his ass.
On colors, I caught him cheating.
On my mama, I caught him cheating.
[tense music playing
[Eastside] A lot of older people in here.
You know what I mean?
But he got, like,
other, like, younger kids in here
from, like, different gangs.
There's definitely gonna be fights.
On colors, you was cheating!
On Bloods, you was cheating!
[indistinct]
[music intensifies]
Hold on!
Y'all better not be looking.
Man, just move. Move.
Y'all gonna get 'em all caught.
Y'all ain't got to watch this shit.
It's over with, they already done.
Get away from the door.
[music fades]
Yo, man. I see what y'all locked in for.
-[inmate] Count time!
-[inmate 2] Count time!
[Parkinson] Count time!
Owens!
[indistinct chatter]
They just make it too obvious,
especially if you're paying attention.
You're like,
"Okay. They're about to do something."
'Cause you'll see people crowd,
you know, around each other,
and you're like, "Okay.
Something's going on."
[Mayham] They was just arguing,
that's it.
Nah, ain't no problem here.
This ain't over with.
This ain't over with.
Man, this shit over, man.
Get this shit over with.
We got a code in here.
So leave all that bullshit alone,
get y'all one in, fight it out,
come back out, do your time,
and try to make it home to your family.
It can get serious, though.
I've seen some crazy shit in here.
[tense music playing]
[Weekley] Come on, nigga.
[indistinct chatter]
Come on.
I'm not big on trying to cause problems.
I try to defuse it,
but, like, if there ain't
no way around it, then shit.
I'm finna do what we gotta do.
Come on. Come on.
I gotta tell you
what's going down now, nigga. Come on.
[narrator] In an effort
to bring the tension down,
some of the inmates try to help control
the situation by taking CJ upstairs.
[Crooks] It can take one person to come
in here and change the whole thing.
Like one bad foul-ass person
who's made everybody's stress level
go up a little bit and not trust anything.
Now they're like, "What's going on?"
I just got into a fight.
[girlfriend] What?
I just got into a fight.
-[girlfriend] Why?
-Huh? Shit.
-[girlfriend] Why?
-Huh? I just got into one.
[girlfriend] Why
Because I was playing cards.
That's what this shit's about.
Nigga a sore-ass loser.
On my mama, on Nya, I'm serious.
I'm in jail, baby.
[indistinct]
-Huh?
-[CJ] You gonna lay down, nigga.
Beat you, bitch-ass nigga.
-[Weekley] What y'all want. Whatever.
-[CJ] And what you stand on.
[Weekley] Huh?
[girlfriend] What are they saying?
[Weekley] Who? Don't even worry about it.
It don't matter
if we have a fight today, tomorrow,
shit, two to three months from now.
Shit is gonna happen.
Simple as that. Problem solved.
[producer] What would happen?
Shit, man. I'm getting up out of here.
I'm gonna get physical.
Real fucking physical. [chuckles]
[Weekley] I'm probably
gonna get locked down because
See, I'm not through with this shit.
Man, I'm not
I'm not I'm not through here.
I woulda had you, nigga, on read.
I woulda had you, nigga.
I woulda had you, nigga.
He ain't fucked
[Weekley] I woulda had you, nigga.
Shit. For real.
[speaking indistinctly]
Shit. Whatever, nigga.
[girlfriend] You'd better go to your cell.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Weekley] I probably
ain't gonna be here tonight.
I'm probably gonna get moved
to another pod.
And the free calls is over with.
So, yeah, for real.
[girlfriend] Okay, I love you, babe.
[Weekley] I love you too. Bye.
[girlfriend] Bye-bye.
[Randy] I like the ones in here now.
[music ends]
The problem is the new one coming in.
There ain't no telling
what's gonna happen now.
[dramatic music playing]
[narrator] Risking all the privileges
that the unit has provided them,
CJ and Weekley put it all
on the line to settle the score.
[CJ] Where should we go?
You wanna go in my room?
[Weekley] Yes.
That's a fight right there.
They'll just ruin it for everybody.
[narrator] The inmates prepare CJ's cell
for what Weekley assumes
will be a one-on-one fight
with the man who accused him of cheating.
[Tiny] That was some Blood shit.
But I can't too much speak on that
because I'm not a fucking Blood.
I'm a Crip, you know what I'm saying?
That's what happens
when you get caught cheating, though.
Some get a little bit worse.
Some don't make it out.
That's why they don't have cards in prison
'cause there's a lot of people
got killed for cheating in cards.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Weekley] What's all this?
-[CJ] Whatchu mean, what's all this?
-[Weekley] I didn't know it's like that.
-[CJ] That's how it's going, man.
D2, CJ, and the other dude
with my cellmate Rosco
jumped one dude.
I'm not sure what
the old man name who they jumped
because he cheated in the spade game.
[Weekley] Be cool!
[multiple blows]
[CJ] You wanna play with me?
What the fuck wrong with you, nigga?
BC now, nigga.
The fuck wrong with you, nigga?
I'm not playing with you!
All right, get up outta here.
All right, that's good.
Get your bitch ass down.
-Lay down.
-[Weekley] No, bro.
[CJ] Stay down.
I don't give a fuck, nigga!
I'm a Blood, nigga.
Fuck you! You gonna learn.
Get him up here. Fuck you.
-You gonna learn, bitch. Little bitch.
-[multiple blows landing]
I don't give a fuck, nigga.
I'm a Blood! Fuck!
Fuck wrong with you, nigga?
[Weekley groans]
