They look at over 200 inmates
0:47
for about 10 to 12 hours a day.
0:50
And that does not change.
0:52
>> It does not change.
0:54
>> No.
0:56
>> Almost time.

1:02

Exactly. How y'all doing? Oh, we need to

threat to you. Don't I give you free
1:22
time every day?
1:23
>> Yes.

1:41
may have a home, a wife, children, a
1:44
good job. They just made a mistake that
1:46
particular day and had uh just a little
1:48
bit too much wine.
1:49
You know, and [music] now they're locked
1:50
up.
1:51
>> What is my honest opinion on her today?
1:53
>> She a bad lady, man.
1:55
>> Go over there and sit down.
1:56
I mean, I [music] could get arrested. I
1:58
could be driving and I have my driver's
1:59
license on me and be arrested.
2:01
And I've been at this for 25 years.
2:06
>> Is it possible I can use the bathroom or
2:08
toilet, mister?
2:09
>> What's going on?
2:09

2:11
>> Or like from that wall to this wall.
2:14
>> wall?

2:18
>> I know. I put in an email for it, so
2:19
hopefully they'll be over here.
2:22
>> 95% of our problems come from the broken
2:26
facility, the toilets, the sinks, not
2:29
able just to go and get a cup of water,
2:31
cold showers, showers missing doors.
2:33
[music]
2:34
They're going to get frustrated with
2:35
each other and they're going to fight.
2:38
But it's not a matter of if, it's just a
2:40
matter of when. But it's it's going to
2:42
take place.
2:49
>> Built over 25 years ago,
2:51
the jail's capacity is 1,535.
2:56
>> Pull your pants up. Pull your pants up.
2:58
>> But today, it houses over 2,000
3:01
detainees across eight housing units.
3:07
In housing unit seven, nearly 80% of the

3:17
And people just been sitting in here.

3:21
locked up here and they keep canceling
3:23
his court date cuz they don't got no
3:24
transport.
3:25
>> We are overcrowded in here. People
3:27
coming in and people not coming out.
3:29
>> Can you give us a tour of the jail?
3:30
>> Oh, yeah. I'll show y'all around. Come
3:32
on.
3:32
>> Inmate Milton Davies agrees to give a

That's feces on the wall right there.
4:15

ventilation system right here. It's

the cell? How do you get help?
4:37
>> Inmate depend on inmate.
4:42
>> While the inmate to officer ratio across
4:44
the nation is four to one, here in
4:46
Clayton County, officers are outnumbered
4:48
100 to 1.
4:52
With officers stretched thin, the jail
4:54
enforces strict paramilitary style
4:56
discipline to maintain control.
5:01
>> [singing]
5:08
>> In the south wing of the Clayton County
5:09
Jail, Deputy Rolex, a training
5:12
coordinator and his officers,
5:14
prepare to execute a shakedown searching
5:16
for contraband.
5:21
>> Originally, I went to the Marine Corps
5:24
and after the Marine Corps, I wanted to
5:26
be a teacher. And I was a teacher for a
5:28
while. Then the news of uh
5:31
white cops killing black people really
5:33
stuck with me. And I said, "Hey, I have
5:35
the background. I have the education. I
5:38
can go and make a difference." So, I
5:40
went to the police academy and then I
5:43
found Clayton County to be the place
5:45
that I wanted to be.
5:53
Game plan. Housing unit two, go in, do
5:56
what we got to do, find what we can
5:58
find, get out. On three.
6:02
One, two, three.
6:27
Let's go.
6:33
>> [music]
6:35
>> This is a shakedown, so we're looking
6:36
for drugs.
6:39
We're looking for shanks.
6:41
When you're doing these sort of things,
6:43
you want to think like a criminal. Where
6:44
would I hide stuff?
6:46
Where could I hide stuff?
6:50
If we have a broken mirror, always step
6:52
on them.
6:54
See if I feel anything hard.
7:03
And these are wicks.
7:04
So, you use tissue,
7:06
and they put some sort of chemicals on
7:08
it and burn it. This is how they get
7:11
high.
7:12
Here's an example.
7:15
Here's an example of them
7:17
taking a tissue, rolling it up, putting
7:19
chemicals on them, and lighting them.
7:23
>> In jail, a fire can turn deadly in
7:26
minutes.
7:27
Inmates locked behind steel doors with
7:29
no way out can suffocate from smoke
7:32
inhalation long before the flames even
7:34
reach them.
7:35
It's not just the fire that's deadly.
7:38
It's being trapped with no escape.
7:41
>> They're usually pissed when I'm done.
7:44
We don't want to mess it up too bad, but
7:47
there's something in here.
7:55
This is death right here.
7:59
That makes sense because
8:01
they'll try to protect themselves or
8:04
they'll try to harm someone else.
8:07
>> [music]
8:08
>> They hit in the right spot, it's over
8:10
with for them.
8:11
I would be afraid of my life in jail.
8:18
>> [music]
8:21
>> Clayton County Sheriff to take control.
8:22
Can I get Bravo number [music] two?
8:28
>> Eager to maintain visibility among staff
8:30
[music] and inmates, recently elected
8:33
Sheriff Levon Allen is carrying out his
8:35
daily check-in of the jail.
8:38
>> Now, I'm not looking at you right now.
8:40
>> I'm over here.
8:40
>> Okay.
8:42
Oh.
8:43
>> Oh, Sheriff one day.
8:44
>> Sheriff one day.
8:45
>> Carry on. Carry on. Carry on.
8:49
Hello.
8:49
>> Hello.
8:51
>> I was elected the youngest sheriff in
8:52
Metro Atlanta history, you know, at 35
8:54
years old.
8:55
It goes back uh
8:57
as far as 1864. [music]
8:59
Culturally, I don't I don't I don't
9:01
uh take it for granted that of course
9:03
[music] everyone on this wall does not
9:04
look like me.
9:05
It speaks to the change of how the
9:07
[music] the county has changed um as a
9:09
whole as well. And of course um I think
9:12
I'm the the youngest and most handsome
9:14
of the area now.
9:18
I'm a cop's [music] child. My mother was
9:20
a sheriff's deputy for the Fulton County
9:21
Sheriff's Office.
9:23
She did that all my life.
9:25
But there was a couple of situations
9:26
that happened [music] that kind of
9:28
pushed me towards law enforcement.
9:31
My aunt was tragically murdered by her
9:34
uh
9:35
long-term [music] boyfriend. It was a
9:37
murder-suicide where he shot and killed
9:39
her and then of course shot and killed
9:40
himself.
9:42
Few years later, my brother was
9:43
tragically murdered in the streets of
9:45
Atlanta
9:46
>> [music]
9:46
>> through gun violence.
9:48
And then 8 years later, my sister was
9:50
ultimately murdered from domestic
9:52
violence. So, I lost both my oldest
9:54
brother and oldest sister
9:55
>> [music]
9:55
>> and
9:56
uh my my aunt to to violence and
10:00
that's why I got into law enforcement.
10:04
I truly do this because I live in
10:07
[music] Clayton.
10:08
I have four kids
10:10
and a wife that lives in Clayton that
10:12
I'm protecting. Of course, I'm going to
10:13
protect your family just as well as I
10:15
protect my own.
10:17
I didn't want to take the safety and put
10:20
that in anyone else's hands but mine.
10:24
>> We just got in a fight.
10:28
All right, they're going to come talk to
10:29
you.
10:30
>> Sheriff Allen is determined to tackle
10:32
the long-standing scandals and
10:34
conditions plaguing the jail.
10:36
>> All right, y'all all right?
10:38
I think what makes life tough in the
10:40
Clayton County Jail is we're not having
10:42
complete funding.
10:43
Hey, hey man, y'all y'all back up. Back
10:46
up. Now, y'all want me to come here and
10:47
disrupt y'all, I will. Just back up and
10:50
do what y'all doing, but back up behind
10:52
the line.
10:53
Hold on, I'll be back here to talk to
10:54
y'all.
10:58
Our job is only to hold someone until
11:02
they're either found guilty or not
11:04
guilty. But, to make someone life uh
11:07
live in here or violate their rights
11:08
while they're here is not my job and not
11:10
what I'm trying to do.
11:11
We need to make sure that the the
11:12
funding comes to the jail so that we can
11:14
prevent these issues.
11:16
>> What are you walking right here?
11:18
>> Water from the plumbing. Not sure if
11:20
it's dirty water, clean water, but
11:21
ultimately it's water and that's not how
11:23
it's designed, so we need to fix it.
11:25
>> [music]
11:26
>> When I took over as sheriff, we had 62
11:27
toilets that were broken.
11:29
The 62 toilets cost $8,600
11:32
each and it takes [music] 14 to 16 weeks
11:36
to build one toilet because that's a
11:37
customized toilet.
11:39
25 years ago having a customized toilet
11:42
that takes 16 weeks to build, it might
11:44
have been conducive to what was going on
11:45
because it wasn't overcrowded. But now
11:48
we need to kind of change that whole
11:49
entire system [music] and then make sure
11:50
that we get this type of stuff fixed
11:51
like that.
12:00
>> What we got? What's
12:02
>> Shoplifting.
12:02
>> Shoplifting, okay.
12:04
What she got?
12:06
>> Driving on suspended license.
12:08
>> Got it.
12:09
>> In intake, new arrests [music] are
12:11
piling up.
12:12
The sheriff is attempting to relieve
12:14
some pressure on his overwhelmed [music]
12:15
staff.
12:17
>> You good? You good? What's your last
12:19
name?
12:22
Yeah, pay board. That's it right there.
12:24
And that's Is that Is that it? That's
12:25
the only thing he has? Says driving on
12:27
suspended license.
12:28
>> How much is his bond?
12:29
>> Um,
12:30
suspended license is $1,500.
12:32
>> He's here on a driving on suspended
12:33
license. [music] So ultimately he would
12:35
stay here until he can come up with
12:37
$1,500 and ultimately the theory is if
12:39
he's in jail and not working he won't be
12:41
able to come up with $1,500. So [music]
12:43
he would stay here ultimately
12:44
indefinitely until his case goes to
12:46
court on on on a $1,500 bond on driving
12:50
on suspended license. Okay, yeah, you
12:52
can do a do the R on it. Yeah.
12:56
Due to us being overcrowded and I have
12:58
the ability to give him
13:00
>> [music]
13:00
>> a own recognizance bond. So I'm going to
13:02
let him out without paying the money and
13:04
then he can he can he can get out.
13:06
Hey, get somebody [music] else to drive
13:07
you, man, a Uber, okay?
13:09
All right, you going to take care of it.
13:16
>> In housing unit eight
13:21
the sheriff has ordered the sanitation
13:23
of a bug infested unit and the
13:25
distribution of clean clothing.
13:27
>> These guys have complained of bed bugs.
13:30
So, we're going to get them showered and
13:32
changed. And while all that process is
13:34
going on, we're going to take care of
13:35
their housing section.
13:37
Hey, put your stuff in your room.
13:39
Take it in. I'mma feed you and then
13:41
I'mma bring you back out so I can do the
13:43
showers.
13:49
Yeah, our sanitation in here right now.
13:52
They cleaning.
13:55
They sterilizing the rooms with the
13:57
light treatment gun.
13:59
They bleaching it, fabuloso and
14:01
everything down. And they pressure
14:03
washing the showers.
14:08
Everybody take a shower, six at a time,
14:10
all right? Make sure y'all grab
14:12
everything y'all need.
14:15
While we're doing sanitation in that
14:16
section, we're going to start ferrying
14:18
down five or six down to intake at a
14:20
time.
14:24
>> And all white clothes.
14:26
>> Get them showered, clean up, uniform,
14:29
bring them back, get another six.
14:33
>> Step into a stall.
14:35
Take off your clothes.
14:39
We shut the lights here. [music] So, you
14:41
going to take the shower. The chemicals
14:42
is in the shower.
14:44
>> How's it looking right now?
14:46
>> So far, I don't see not one. I don't
14:49
even see no egg.
14:52
>> [music]
14:52
>> As the jail funnels inmates through the
14:54
delousing showers, Milton Davis is among
14:57
them.
14:58
>> [music]
14:58
>> He's to receive clean clothing,
15:00
something he's been asking for for
15:01
weeks.
15:03
>> Not clean. They don't got no bugs on no
15:06
eggs and none of this.
15:16
I will say this though, the sheriff, he
15:18
he kept his word.
15:21
>> This is not a prison. This is pre-trial
15:23
detention facility. So, anybody can be
15:26
in here from any walk from [music] life,
15:28
any issue.
15:29
But, you know, that doesn't mean they
15:31
should be treated a certain way.
15:33
>> Only the bottom tier should come out.
15:35
Top tier remain in.
15:36
>> Everyone should be treated the exact
15:38
same until they appear before court and
15:40
then then they'll go to prison and the
15:42
prison system will deal [music] with it.
15:45
So, if there's any issues or anything
15:47
that happens, [music] you know, I want
15:48
to be able to truly say I'm putting my
15:51
best foot forward trying to fix it.
15:53
>> Room's been sanitized. Spray down along
15:55
with your mat. Grab your mat. Where's
15:57
your mat?
15:58
>> [music]
16:00
>> This is serious.
16:03
You have to understand [music]
16:04
that these are human lives.
16:10
>> [music]
16:11
>> Behind those jumpsuits, whether the
16:12
color is orange or red,
16:14
they have a heart [music]
16:15
that push blood through it.
