"lock up, raw" [ screaming ] >> every jail we've ever visited there are usually troublemakers, and they make for compelling television. >> why don't you come over here and do something about it? [ bleep ]. >> some of the reasons we like to cover these stories is because, one, we get a chance to

see how the correctional officers control the troublemakers. each facility has a different strategy how to do that. >> you are going to be a dead man when i get on the street. all of you. >> but also, when we spend enough time with them, we get to peel back some of the layers and get to find out there's usually a story underneath. when we travel to a part of the country with a reputation for cowboys, big oil and wicked weather, we not only found troublemakers, but at the tulsa county jail in oklahoma, where most of the inmates are only charged with crimes and are awaiting trials for the resolution of their cases, we met sergeant virgil collette who says he has come to understand why some inmates have a propensity for causing trouble. >> some of these people, their coping skill is to act out. that's the only way they can get attention to get their issues solved.

what are small issues to us are large issues for the inmates. if you have somebody controlling you 2 4 hours a day, telling you when you can get up, when you can have the phone, can't have the phone, when you can visit with their friends, we control pretty much ever aspect. little things are important to these people. >> one of the hot beds for trouble at any jail is the booking department where inmates first arrive upon their arrests. most go through the often lengthy process without incident. during our shoot, kenny witty was arrested for driving under the influence and illegal possession of a firearm. he was already on probation for various drug and firearm-related charges as well. >> witty falls in to the category of somebody that has poor coping skills. >> while waiting to be processed witty is moved to a chair near the pay phone so we can be talking. it is a mild violation usually resolved by a detention officer.

>> sir, don't sit in the chair while you are on the phone. you want to go to a holding cell? >> this is kenneth witty. he threw a chair across the booking floor. we are taking him to a holding cell and he's going to start resisting against us. he was agitated and one of those ones that doesn't want to do what he is told to do. >> as officers lead witty to a holding cell he continues to resist. >> he stepped toward me. i turned around and pushed him in the wall. he continued to resist and placed him on the floor, removed his shoes and placed him in -- >> witty struggles all the way to the holding cell. >> we can leave the cell and have him stay until we shut the door for our safety so they don't get up and try to spit us or kick us or whatever they think they might want to do. >> that was eight months earlier. since then, witty had become a

well-known inmate at tulsa county, but his days here were numbered. he had recently been convicted of his charges of driving under the influence and illegal possession of a firearm and sentenced to ten years. during his shoot, he was awaiting transfer to prison. >> kenny witty, a problem child from the word go. >> sergeant collette supervisors the jail segregation unit where witty spent the majority of his time due to a lengthy disciplinary record. >> it is colorful. let me put it that way. >> mostly the problems i have had with him is his disrespect. >> put a shirt on. >> no. >> he tends to be vulgar, always agitated. doesn't really listen. he wants things when he wants them and you tell him he has to wait and he starts to scream. >> he goes from zero to 150 in 2.1 seconds. he has no medium ground when it comes to the elevation of his anger.

the thing is i take it when i'm trying to make a point. >> we were filming in the seg unit and we started to hear this commotion. it turned out to be kenneth witty holding his bean hole hostage because he wasn't getting toilet paper. >> staff say they recently removed roll because he was borrowing rolls from other people and holding them. >> quarter roll of toilet paper. i took two [ bleep ] today.

door. >> deputy comes over to assist with the situation. >> i'm trying to get a roll of toilet paper. >> i have been asking for toilet paper all day. why do i have to be the one that waits. >> my allergies have been killing me the last four days. i blow my nose every 15 minutes, man. so half a roll, something like that all i need. >> i will close it up and get you some paper. >> appreciate it, man. >> all right. >>. >> i'm not trying to undermine you.

population, staying incident free for several days. but when he felt an angry outburst coming on, he requested a return to a segregation cell. off certificates praised witty's restraint and told him that when he felt ready, he could return to general population. witty, however, seemed content on his own, as long as he had funds for the jail commissary's sugary snacks. >> it was pretty apparent early on with witty that he had a certain passion for food. i noticed thought throughout the four months we were there his weight gain. but he had a great attitude about it. >> it takes a lot of [ bleep ] work to be this [ bleep ] sexy. straight up. >> there was one item in particular that witty told us he could not resist. >> in all of the different jails and prisons we always see honey buns on the commissary list. and they're definitely a coveted item. witty really loves his more than other people did. >> get on the food network.

"jailhouse cooking." make kind of like a second frosting for the honey bun. once the oatmeal is fully cooked, i'll go ahead and throw in the peanut butter. crumble up a snickers bar and bam! take the mrs. freshly's clover bakery honey bun. spread it over evenly. we're going to take the honey bun and we're going to place snickers all throughout it. evenly put it throughout the oatmeal peanut butter frosting and bam. there's a number of emotions that go with this right here. hunger, arousal, love, lust. it's amazing. i can feel the clouds beneath me right now. and my cholesterol building. i got to do the jailhouse

shuffle for the camera. hey, look. when i first came to jail, you could read my tattoos on my stomach straight across. now it's like a banner. >> we would soon learn that witty's decision to return to segregation, rather than lash out at the inmate he had problems with, didn't have anything to do with losing commissary privileges. but it had everything to do with not wanting to lose visitation privileges. >> the motivating factor for kenneth to move back into segregation and stay out of trouble was he had found love. >> i just got engaged four days ago. >> what? >> yeah. >> to whom? >> this girl amanda. she's coming to see me on saturday. >> kenneth witty. kenneth and i actually have

known each other 2 1/2, 3 weeks at the most. i was talking to one of my female friends and the he talked did me one time. after that it was just like love at first sight but love over the phone more than anything. >> can i get 1015 kenneth witty for a noncontact visit, please. >> i know it is fast and seems crazy. he calls me, i want to ask you something. i say, okay. he geese, would you spend the rest of your life with me? my exact words were [ bleep ] yes. i miss you, baby so much. >> mi amore. my one and only baby girl. from this day forward i vow to make you my world. never again will you fight your battles alone. i will take your demons and face them as my own. i will make you happy as i can the rest of my life. i will buy you a ring and make you my wife. i'll never do anything to hurt you, i'll never make you cry. i'm a true soldier, i'm in this till i die. but in this moment with tears in my eyes i have only one thing to ask. will you stand by me as i stand by you for all the days of your life.

>> i understand i'm in jail, i understand i'm going to prison. might as well have fun while i'm doing it. doesn't mean it's a game and i want to come back. a lot of people would assume that because of my attitude, no. >> i got sexually assaulted by a new sound byte. you see that? he totally touched my penis. >> kenneth witty to this day is one of my favorites. and i know he was a challenge. but you know, you spend a lot of the hours in jails and prisons and there's a lot of dark -- dark stories and dark information coming at you all day long. and to kind of lighten it up and to deal with someone like witty who liked to have, liked to smile, liked to give everybody kind of a little hard time, i enjoyed our time that we were able to spend with him. >> make sure this [ bleep ] doesn't go on there. get the [ bleep ] camera out of here.
