a convicted sex offender becomes the victim of a brutal assault that leaves him unconscious and in the hospital. the assailants say the attack was warrantied. what they don't know might bring regrets. >> let me tell you the facts of the case and why i am so pissed

off about it. >> a skinny white boy going to prison for gang members. >> he attempts to join a gang. his heart was elsewhere. >> dear mailman if this gets lost do not send it to me. send it to prison to my daddy. located on the edge of downtown tulsa, it looks like any other government building. but behind the walls of the tulsa county jail, things play out daily. >> let him go. >> the jailhouse as 1,800 men and women.

most have been charged with crimes and are awaiting trial. >> unless they violate the rules or need to be segregated for security reasons, they spend the majority of the days outside their housing units. a single officer, completely exposed to the inmates, exposed in the pod. >> there is one officer in the pod at all times. just one. >> it's not about physical anymore, it's about maintaining control. they don't have weapons when they go to the pod. they are in the pod with 94 inmates, every day, all day. they are conversing with them, looking in the cells. >> we are going to treat you as a human until you prove you

can't be. >> studies show it cuts down on inmate violence and it growing in popularity throughout jails nationwide. but this man would prove to be a magnet for violence. olson is talking to the pod you have a when he is brutally attacked. inmate rafael gonzalez begins the assault. gonzalez is joined by another inmate, nava. jail policy prevents the officer from attempting to break up the fight on his own. after about a minute into the assault, the orders are finally heeded. nava and gonzalez are immediately placed in disciplinary segregation cells where they will be locked up 23 hours a day and lose all privileges. olson's injuries are too severe

to be treated on-site. he will be transported to a local hospital. olson was not a random victim. he had been out of jail on bond. less than 24 hours earlier he was convicted and sentenced to prison for rape. >> it's not the cool thing to be doing that. >> they tried to get him out the pod in time. they will execute him. >> when somebody is charged with a sex crime they aren't by default put into segregation. >> it's kind of rough. you are locked down 24 hours a day, i was getting ready to release the inmate to be

transferred to another pod. he came to me and said some inmates was making threats towards him. that's when he said okay it's time to make my move. that's when i called code blue. >> there is no other way. like child molesting. >> everybody in the pod was plotting on getting him. nobody did nothing. i was standing right by him. he looked at me and something took over me and i hit him. >> rafael gonzalez is awaiting trial. >> i had to go do what i had to do. he needed to get his ass

whooped. that's a homey code by itself. i ran up and started kicking. he was on the ground. we sat there and stomped. until he was like, all right, that's enough. >> he was sentenced to eight years for assault with a dangerous weapon, robbery with a firearm and false impersonation. now they face new charges. >> this is a felony assault. they beat him unconscious and continued to beat him afterwards. they believe he is a sex offender but don't know the whole story. they are sending a message that he is not wanted, not needed there, and this is what happened. >> coming up. >> i know you are pretty mad at

me right now. >> highly pissed would be an understatement. gonzalez and nava learn how much their actions might cost them.

there are about 1,800 individual stories inside the tulsa county jail, one for every man and woman incarcerated here. for the most part there only two types of inmates, those who are first-time offenders and those who aren't. >> i been locked up since i was 15 years old. i am always in and out of jails, in prison, out of prison, in juvie, out of juvie. since i was 15. been doing this for years now.
