Watch Lockup Extended Stay: Santa Rosa

Thirty miles away from Pensacola, in the small town of Milton, on the Florida panhandle, lies a compound that's never on the itinerary of local tour buses. It's Santa Rosa Correctional Institution -- the state's toughest maximum-security prison. In this hour, one inmate meets an untimely demise, and a convicted murderer breaks down the ways of prison, while a young, fresh-faced inmate learns about them. Another inmate mails a death threat to the White House and then carries out a shocking act. And we hand personal cameras to some of the inmates to express intimate feelings in the privacy of their cells.

Every morning, inmates at Florida's Santa Rosa Correctional Institution march outside the gates of the maximum-security prison. They are part of the Restricted Labor Squad, or RLS. All the inmates on the Restricted Labor Squad have been in confinement for disciplinary violations, but are now nearing release back to general population. In this hour, a cell search results in some heated words... and the discovery of a gang manifesto.Then, an older inmate takes charge of a young man with a violent past, and a new policy could push some inmates to the edge. And when we give our cameras to inmates to express their personal feelings in private, one confronts his own mortality.

Located on the Florida panhandle, Pensacola is home to the Naval Air Station - the primary training base for many of America's top military aviators and home to the legendary Blue Angels. Thirty-five miles away, a military cadence pierces an otherwise quiet morning. The marchers have all served time in the military but now, they're serving time at the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, one of the toughest maximum security prisons in the state of Florida. In this hour, the prison takes on a military style feel both for the inmates, and the officers; a gang unit investigation turns up the heat on a pair of cellmates, before one turns on the other; and with the personal cameras we provide them, inmates share intimate thoughts in the privacy of their cells.

Santa Rosa Correctional Institution is the last stop for Florida's most violent inmates. We spent months inside, and we witnessed a great deal. In this hour, a massive search for contraband turns up the heat on two inmates and a convict prompts an evacuation when he floods his housing unit. Then, a serial bank robber recounts his criminal exploits, and a convicted killer's physical handicap makes him especially vulnerable. And with the personal cameras we provide them, inmates give us intimate views of their lives in prison.

Just east of Pensacola, on the Florida panhandle, is 84 acres of some of the most dangerous land in the state. This is the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison with more than 2,800 inmates. In this hour, an inmate known for deviant behavior prompts an emergency response, while another turns his fury on two officers. Then, a new arrival raises serious concerns. And young correctional officer cadets experience the burn as each one takes a pepper spray shot in the eye.

Florida's Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, located on the state's panhandle, is the place male inmates go when other prisons can't handle them. In this hour, an inmate takes drastic action and leaves his cell a bloody mess... while another... is found with dangerous contraband. Plus, an old-timer counts his losses, and a younger inmate looks forward to hitting the streets.
