00:00:11,219 --> 00:00:12,470
[Ricky] Just follow me.

4
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:17,183
[poignant music playing]

5
00:00:22,939 --> 00:00:23,773
[whistle blows]

6
00:00:32,407 --> 00:00:33,867
[sewing machine clacking]

7
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:43,710
Hi.

8
00:00:43,793 --> 00:00:46,087
[poignant music continues]

9
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:49,257
[whirring]

10
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:55,889
[music fades]

11
00:01:09,611 --> 00:01:11,404
[indistinct guard radio chatter]

12
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:20,997
[alert bell ringing]

13
00:01:21,956 --> 00:01:23,374
[Chill] 129, please.

14
00:01:32,342 --> 00:01:34,427
I've been locked up for eight years,

15
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:39,224
and I have 14 years left
for first degree assault.

16
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:48,024
This environment, it's a jungle.

17
00:01:48,525 --> 00:01:52,320
So, I got to be
a little more rough around the edges.

18
00:01:52,403 --> 00:01:54,656
I'm the big bad wolf down here.

19
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:56,991
But I gotta be, or they eat you alive.

20
00:01:57,075 --> 00:01:59,702
You know, that's just the way it is.
We done Level 5.

21
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:02,705
So, down here,
I'm all, "Move out of my way."

22
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:04,791
[poignant, pensive music playing]

23
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:06,709
But it's a front.

24
00:02:07,877 --> 00:02:11,798
Because up here, like, my emotions change
when I walk through the door.

25
00:02:12,382 --> 00:02:14,676
What up? Good morning. Morning.

26
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,554
-[sewing machines clacking]
-[Potter] Put that color thread on it.

27
00:02:18,388 --> 00:02:20,390
[inmates chattering indistinctly]

28
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,734
[Ricky] I need to use the cutting table.

29
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:33,736
[Chill] This gonna be my centerpiece.

30
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:37,699
I was thinking a white or gray.
The front of the quilt has gray on it.

31
00:02:37,782 --> 00:02:40,910
I might have just gotten a gray in
that would work for that.

32
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:42,954
[Ricky] Whenever you get a chance,

33
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:46,791
Need a name on this
so it can go on the quilt machine.

34
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:48,793
-What name would you like?
-Here it is.

35
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:50,962
-[Rod] You want burgundy?
-[Ricky] No, red.

36
00:02:51,045 --> 00:02:52,630
-[Rod] You want dark red?
-[Ricky] Yeah.

37
00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:58,511
[gentle music playing]

38
00:02:58,595 --> 00:02:59,971
[Potter] Okay.

39
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:01,973
[Joe] Up right to here.

40
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:04,058
Hey, how are you doing?

41
00:03:05,643 --> 00:03:09,189
[Joe] The men in RJO
make quilts for local foster kids.

42
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:15,862
They volunteer their time
from 7:30 to 3:30, five days a week.

43
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:21,242
They may or may not have a date.
They may not be going home.

44
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:26,080
So, uh, this is just
their way of giving back.

45
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:31,920
[Jimmy] Five months ago,
a list of the foster children came in.

46
00:03:32,003 --> 00:03:38,051
And I happened to see a young lady,
her birthday… is the same as mine.

47
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:40,094
And it really stuck.

48
00:03:40,178 --> 00:03:42,388
So, I started making the quilt.

49
00:03:42,472 --> 00:03:43,973
[whirring]

50
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:49,062
A lot of these kids were told
they'd never amount to anything.

51
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:50,563
They'd never be any good.

52
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,234
For them, this is my chance
to give them something to say,

53
00:03:54,317 --> 00:03:56,319
"Hey, we care about you."

54
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:59,280
And I could see a finished product, uh…

55
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:09,457
[Fred] There's nothing that matches
what I've got.

56
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:12,710
-This didn't come with no instructions.
-Oh, no. It was just a picture.

57
00:04:12,794 --> 00:04:15,922
[Chill] This is kinda amazing.
This is you. That's beautiful.

58
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:18,216
[Fred] I just like patterns,
designs like this.

59
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:19,300
[Chill] That's beautiful.

60
00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:21,219
-Yeah.
-[Fred chuckles] Yup.

61
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:22,762
[Chill] Dang.

62
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:28,935
[Fred] For this quilt,
they wanted it '60s and hippie era.

63
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:32,939
Once this square gets completed,

64
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,442
this will go on.

65
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:38,319
Oops, wrong side.

66
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:40,280
This will go on this side.

67
00:04:41,572 --> 00:04:45,660
And then this one will go along here.

68
00:04:45,743 --> 00:04:47,453
[whimsical, pensive music playing]

69
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:51,666
There are nine, what we call blocks.

70
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:55,878
They have 81 pieces in each one of them.

71
00:04:55,962 --> 00:05:02,260
Twelve rectangular blocks,
99 pieces in each one of those.

72
00:05:02,343 --> 00:05:06,931
And then there are four large,
just blocks of the whole quilt.

73
00:05:07,015 --> 00:05:10,101
And they're 99 pieces a unit.

74
00:05:10,852 --> 00:05:14,856
This turned out to be over 3,500 pieces,
just for the front side.

75
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:19,986
It's March now,
and I got to have it done by May 1st.

76
00:05:20,069 --> 00:05:22,697
So… [laughs] I'm hoping.

77
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:29,620
[whimsical music playing]

78
00:05:29,704 --> 00:05:31,456
We teach how to cut the squares out.

79
00:05:31,539 --> 00:05:33,583
See, the first basic thing we do,

80
00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:35,460
we'll grid a quilt out.

81
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:39,047
It's key to do that before anything else.

82
00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:41,215
[Jimmy] Well, for me, when I start,

83
00:05:41,299 --> 00:05:43,426
I'll see it in my head,
but I can't grid things out.

84
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:44,510
Hmm.

85
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:48,222
A lot of times,
and Ricky'll shoot me for this,

86
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:49,891
but I'll start cutting.

87
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:51,517
And then…

88
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:52,643
[music stops]

89
00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:56,356
…wake up in the middle of the night.

90
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:57,982
That's when the gridding starts.

91
00:05:58,066 --> 00:05:59,275
[whimsical music resumes]

92
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:02,445
I don't go by patterns.
I don't like copying.

93
00:06:02,528 --> 00:06:05,698
I base mine off the color
next to the color.

94
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:10,328
I like doing it that way.
So, I claim it. It belongs to me.

95
00:06:10,411 --> 00:06:11,621
So, what I do is,

96
00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:15,083
I cut out what Imma do
for my middle first.

97
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:19,754
My middle usually be about 50 by 30.

98
00:06:19,837 --> 00:06:25,885
Once I get my 50/30, then I know that
I need 30 more going up and down

99
00:06:25,968 --> 00:06:27,595
to add to the 50,

100
00:06:27,678 --> 00:06:29,013
and that's my 80.

101
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:33,643
Um, I don't, uh,
actually know a whole lot myself

102
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:34,852
'cause I'm still kinda new.

103
00:06:34,936 --> 00:06:36,562
[Ricky] So, which one you gonna do next?

104
00:06:36,646 --> 00:06:37,688
Finish these two rows,

105
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:40,733
and then this is the next row
that gets right below this one.

106
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:43,486
This piece, it's hard to tell
which way it goes.

107
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:47,615
[Ricky] You're doing good. You see how
none of your corners are pulling apart?

108
00:06:47,698 --> 00:06:49,700
-[whimsical music continues]
-[inmates chattering]

109
00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:52,912
[Jimmy] Organized chaos is the easiest way
to describe that room.

110
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:55,873
-[Ricky] Who's got my cutter?
-[Potter] Yeah, bring that up here.

111
00:06:55,957 --> 00:06:59,419
It's kind of like
the little cartoon character

112
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:04,173
you see come in with a bunch of scissors
and papers flying all over the place.

113
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:05,758
Something's totally off.

114
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:08,261
-I'm not liking this.
-[Ricky] How the hell did you do that?

115
00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:12,515
It's a process between cut, sew, iron,

116
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:14,976
cut, sew, iron,
and you keep going in circles.

117
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:18,312
[Chill] Then on to the next step.
Gonna make the backing to it.

118
00:07:18,396 --> 00:07:21,524
[Potter] This'll be the whole backing
for the, uh, butterfly quilt.

119
00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:23,609
[Chill] They gonna take it
down to the quilt room,

120
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:25,528
and he gonna do his job.

121
00:07:27,405 --> 00:07:29,824
[Ricky] Get ready to see a finished quilt.

122
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:31,784
All right, let's see.

123
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:35,079
-It's looking good.
-[Potter] Yo.

124
00:07:35,163 --> 00:07:36,289
[Fred] Hey, hey, hey.

125
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,292
[Ricky] There you go. Roll it on up.

126
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:40,751
[music stops]

127
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:42,837
[wind blowing]

128
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,344
[Jimmy] In here, we're a little community
within a big community.

129
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:53,473
[Chill] This looks real good.

130
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:55,808
[Fred] These are bigger.
Getting ahead of myself.

131
00:07:56,809 --> 00:08:00,855
[Chill] Outside of RJO,
you're amongst all the other guys.

132
00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:04,817
But they don't even have a clue
about how we feel up here.

133
00:08:04,901 --> 00:08:09,071
Everybody don't grab it,
but we-- we grab it.

134
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:11,157
[gentle, pensive music playing]

135
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:14,702
[Chill] These guys in here,

136
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:17,455
I love it being around
every last one of them.

137
00:08:18,873 --> 00:08:22,251
We got the same vibe,
and we work off of each other.

138
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:24,128
Then we all got different flavors.

139
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:26,631
Fred like them colors.

140
00:08:26,714 --> 00:08:27,840
[Fred] This one goes…

141
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:29,675
[Chill] Jimmy's got the stars.

142
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,010
They just beautiful.

143
00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:33,888
Rod, he the material picker.

144
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:39,602
For me, this is my flavor. Butterflies.

145
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:43,397
If possible, can I show you this one
I made right here?

146
00:08:44,232 --> 00:08:46,234
I made this one just last week

147
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,611
for a girl.

148
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:51,447
I made this one.

149
00:08:54,617 --> 00:08:57,495
If you're going seven-and-a-half,
you just take,

150
00:08:58,329 --> 00:09:02,875
like, an eighth off this side,
eighth off this side, or a quarter…

151
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,545
-And it'll be right?
-It'll be perfect.

152
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:08,506
-I ain't know that. I got it now, though.
-Long, long time. Yep.

153
00:09:08,589 --> 00:09:10,591
Ricky is a good teacher.

154
00:09:10,675 --> 00:09:12,176
I mean, in a week,

155
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:15,596
you'll be making some of the best quilts
that you thought you could never make.

156
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,473
If you need help on something,

157
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,560
or learn how to do something,
Ricky's the main go-to.

158
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:24,313
[Ricky] He's never sewn before.
He's gonna want to know how to do this.

159
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:25,565
[whirs]

160
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:28,734
You actually did pretty good on these.

161
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:32,780
It's scrap from his quilt, other quilts.

162
00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:37,577
And I take 'em, then I slice 'em
and dice 'em and sew them back together.

163
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,121
[Chill] This is the master.

164
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:43,749
We learn from sensei. [laughs]

165
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:47,587
[Ricky] You know, most of the people
that's in here messed up bad, you know?

166
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:50,631
They're looking for, how would you say?

167
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:52,383
A purpose.

168
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:55,678
You put a little bit,
now loosen it up. Turn it.

169
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:01,267
That is what you call, "complete."

170
00:10:01,892 --> 00:10:03,811
[Chill] I mean, I love what I'm doing.

171
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:07,565
I love taking care of the foster kids.
That's what I love the most.

172
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:12,236
When I think about girls,
I think about pinks, purple, green.

173
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,034
And then, when I think about the guys,
I think about the blacks, yellows, blues.

174
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,744
[sewing machines whirring]

175
00:10:19,827 --> 00:10:21,871
I zone out, and I just sew.

176
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:25,541
This my out.

177
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,961
This my out, here.
This what puts me on the outside.

178
00:10:29,045 --> 00:10:31,297
When I do this here,
I don't even be in here.

179
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:33,883
-[whistle blows]
-[inmates chattering softly]

180
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:58,324
[keys jingle]

181
00:10:58,407 --> 00:11:00,409
[indistinct guard radio chatter]

182
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:09,919
[Joe] Not everyone can work here.

183
00:11:10,753 --> 00:11:13,255
They must have no violations or write-ups.

184
00:11:13,756 --> 00:11:15,132
[pensive music playing]

185
00:11:15,216 --> 00:11:18,260
I try not to think of what they did
to get in here.

186
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:22,515
I treat them as a human
because that's what they are.

187
00:11:34,652 --> 00:11:36,654
[projector clicking]

188
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:52,086
[sewing machines whirring]

189
00:11:53,754 --> 00:11:55,756
[pensive music continues]

190
00:12:26,036 --> 00:12:31,041
[Ricky] My mother was my biggest thing
that makes me do this.

191
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:36,756
You know, her mother, my grandma,

192
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:41,469
she made all their clothes and quilts
out of patches.

193
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:44,805
And so, this is what
my childhood brings to me.

194
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:49,602
You know, I was kind of young
when I got locked up.

195
00:12:49,685 --> 00:12:53,773
Put your finger right there. Hold that.
Right in the corner. Now…

196
00:12:53,856 --> 00:12:56,317
I'm 64 years old, now.

197
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:59,612
I got locked up when I was 20.

198
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:06,285
You know, I was just an asshole,
and I messed up bad.

199
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:11,123
But I never had a bad background,
had a good mother and father.

200
00:13:11,207 --> 00:13:13,209
I had a good… good thing.

201
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:17,963
You just get mixed with the wrong people,
and you, you know, make that mistake.

202
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:20,049
[pensive music continues]

203
00:13:20,758 --> 00:13:23,719
But we're away from that now.

204
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,888
-[music fades]
-[sewing machines whirring]

205
00:13:32,937 --> 00:13:37,566
[Ricky] Now, this is Jeremiah's
first time ever making a quilt.

206
00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:41,403
And you look at these points,

207
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:43,823
everything's on the money.

208
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:45,324
[Jeremiah] My first quilt.

209
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:48,202
So, that means I did my job.

210
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:51,664
-[Jeremiah] Mom, she'd be proud of that.
-[Ricky] Yeah.

211
00:13:51,747 --> 00:13:53,749
[Jeremiah] Oops, wrong side.

212
00:13:54,291 --> 00:13:56,585
Spread that all the way over to there.

213
00:13:57,336 --> 00:14:00,172
I've been down almost 38 years, right?

214
00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:05,886
After a while, you get thinking
about your family, you know?

215
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:10,391
And then when you get thinking about them,
then the truth really comes out, you know?

216
00:14:10,474 --> 00:14:12,852
Wow. All the stuff I did.

217
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:14,603
I was a drug addict.

218
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:18,023
-Alcohol for me, you know?
-[sniffles]

219
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:21,026
My downfall came
when I got about in my twenties.

220
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:25,364
And that's when I caught a…
I caught a murder case.

221
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:29,451
I… Hey, I'm-- I'm guilty for what I did.

222
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:31,537
-Absolutely.
-So…

223
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:34,164
-Taking responsibility, you know?
-Yeah.

224
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:38,419
It's a shame that we didn't feel that
and show that, you know,

225
00:14:38,502 --> 00:14:40,421
prior to being in here.

226
00:14:40,504 --> 00:14:43,632
And that-- And that is
the hard pill to swallow.

227
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,260
True regret, you know.

228
00:14:46,343 --> 00:14:49,430
I mean, after 30 years, you…

229
00:14:50,222 --> 00:14:51,515
You know, it's just…

230
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:54,435
Yeah. [softly] I don't know.

231
00:14:55,227 --> 00:14:58,230
Because, see,
my mother means a lot to me, you know?

232
00:14:58,314 --> 00:14:59,565
[exhales]

233
00:14:59,648 --> 00:15:01,275
[voice breaks] It's hard.

234
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:04,904
It's just hard to talk about.

235
00:15:07,948 --> 00:15:09,950
[wind blowing]

236
00:15:12,786 --> 00:15:15,039
[Joe] All right, guys,
we got a package in.

237
00:15:15,122 --> 00:15:17,416
[Ricky] Okay, what's in the box?

238
00:15:18,125 --> 00:15:20,920
[Chill] That's the way he said it,
"Hey, we got a package."

239
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:23,422
[Rod]
Everything we have in here is donated.

240
00:15:23,505 --> 00:15:27,927
If it wasn't for people with big hearts
donating to us,

241
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:30,262
we wouldn't be able to do this. Uh…

242
00:15:31,138 --> 00:15:34,433
This shelf here,
this is mainly just kid stuff.

243
00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:37,811
We got some cartoonish donuts.

244
00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:40,564
Music, a piece with pianos on it.

245
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:45,069
Some more food. We got peanuts.
We got bacon too. Yeah.

246
00:15:45,152 --> 00:15:47,613
This is our filler that we make
for the weighted blankets

247
00:15:47,696 --> 00:15:49,657
and the weighted vests
for the autistic children.

248
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,287
Guys ain't supposed to come past this door
because right here, we have tools.

249
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:59,750
We have scissors, we have rotary cutters.

250
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:01,418
As they call 'em, sharps.

251
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:04,254
Anything that has a sharp point to it,
you know?

252
00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:08,550
'Cause, they don't want anybody
just running around with these, you know?

253
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:12,054
When they come in in the morning,
they sign the tool log.

254
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:15,432
Potter, that's standing right there,
it's his tool bag.

255
00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:16,892
This is assigned to him.

256
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:20,187
We've got a master inventory right here,
it tells you what's in this bag too,

257
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:23,107
so when he's out there,
just in case his bag turns up missing,

258
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:24,566
which he's responsible.

259
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:27,194
Thankfully, we've never had any
turn up missing.

260
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:36,537
-[sewing machine whirring]
-[Chill humming poignant melody]

261
00:16:38,747 --> 00:16:39,999
[Chill] When I was younger,

262
00:16:40,082 --> 00:16:43,168
I had learned how to sew,
but I was doing upholstery.

263
00:16:45,462 --> 00:16:47,631
I had opened up my own upholstery shop.

264
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:53,595
I never did this kind of sewing.
Mine was always with leather and vinyl.

265
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:59,309
With that vinyl and that leather,
you've got to pull and tug.

266
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:00,894
And this is more soft.

267
00:17:05,649 --> 00:17:07,568
Oops. I made a little boo-boo.

268
00:17:08,402 --> 00:17:11,321
An oopsie. [chuckling]

269
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:14,742
It took me about a week and a half

270
00:17:14,825 --> 00:17:18,495
to kinda have my hands
to mess with something lighter.

271
00:17:19,913 --> 00:17:22,332
Yup, Imma go iron this.

272
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:24,918
[poignant, pensive music playing]

273
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,553
I had made this other butterfly quilt,

274
00:17:34,636 --> 00:17:37,973
and this one was so beautiful.

275
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:41,935
We called it Firefly
with some other colors that were in.

276
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:43,270
It was so beautiful.

277
00:17:45,814 --> 00:17:47,566
My mother loved butterflies.

278
00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:51,320
It just so happen.
So that's why I love butterflies.

279
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:54,364
Every time I do butterflies,
I straight think of her.

280
00:17:55,949 --> 00:17:58,243
The most thing she asked me to do is,

281
00:17:58,327 --> 00:18:01,455
don't go back to the person
that I used to be.

282
00:18:01,538 --> 00:18:04,792
Don't have that anger. Be more patient,

283
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:08,295
and be more understanding
and compassionate.

284
00:18:08,378 --> 00:18:11,215
And just because somebody
do something bad to you,

285
00:18:11,298 --> 00:18:13,675
don't mean that you need
to do it right back to them.

286
00:18:15,135 --> 00:18:17,638
It's going to sound a little weird saying,

287
00:18:17,721 --> 00:18:21,517
but when I call home,
my people, they hear it in my voice.

288
00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:24,770
And just the conversations that we have,
they're like,

289
00:18:24,853 --> 00:18:26,688
"You done changed. You made it."

290
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:28,816
I'm like, "Yeah, I done made it."

291
00:18:31,318 --> 00:18:34,279
-All butterflies. [laughs]
-[music fades]

292
00:18:45,707 --> 00:18:48,502
-[Ricky] He's got that down now, you see.
-[Jimmy] Mm-hmm.

293
00:18:48,585 --> 00:18:50,462
[Ricky]
'Cause he's going just to the triangles.

294
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:52,548
[mouse clicking]

295
00:18:58,303 --> 00:19:00,305
[emotional music playing]

296
00:19:26,123 --> 00:19:29,209
[Fred] I've got a headache.
You got a bottle of Tylenol?

297
00:19:29,293 --> 00:19:30,127
[laughs]

298
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:31,628
I need the whole bottle.

299
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:38,302
I'm just bouncing
from colors and patterns, and… [sighs]

300
00:19:39,219 --> 00:19:41,513
I do not know what I'm doing today.

301
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:42,431
I'm…

302
00:19:43,724 --> 00:19:44,558
When…

303
00:19:44,641 --> 00:19:48,854
I'm old, and I've got to get myself
straightened out. [chuckles]

304
00:19:48,937 --> 00:19:53,692
I got 17 more massive blocks like that
I gotta make.

305
00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:58,197
And I spent all night
doing my little sketches.

306
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,743
When things bother me in my head,
I sit up and do that.

307
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:10,751
The deadline's in two weeks,
and I am sweating every minute.

308
00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:13,003
Ah.

309
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:15,380
[groans]

310
00:20:15,964 --> 00:20:17,966
Like, shit!

311
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:19,718
I screwed up.

312
00:20:19,801 --> 00:20:22,971
Every row was sewn together
the wrong direction.

313
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:25,307
I have to take all the rows apart,

314
00:20:26,141 --> 00:20:30,395
flip them the other way,
and then sew them back together.

315
00:20:30,479 --> 00:20:35,400
So I got to pull
two of these large squares all apart,

316
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:37,945
flip them, and resew them.

317
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:40,364
This was not in today's…

318
00:20:42,324 --> 00:20:44,868
[Ricky] Well, he gets
a little frustrated at times.

319
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:46,745
Kinda tough for you, huh?

320
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:49,831
-Actually, they need to be ironed first.
-I can do that real quick.

321
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:51,625
-Okay.
-Or however long it takes.

322
00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:53,710
Yup. It shouldn't take too long.

323
00:20:54,836 --> 00:21:00,968
When my time on this '60s quilt
started drifting away on me…

324
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:02,052
[pensive music playing]

325
00:21:02,135 --> 00:21:03,929
…Potter stepped up.

326
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:06,056
You're doing great.

327
00:21:06,139 --> 00:21:08,141
Look at that. Every one of them's spot on.

328
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:09,935
He gets it done, quickly.

329
00:21:10,018 --> 00:21:11,395
He shocks you.

330
00:21:11,478 --> 00:21:14,439
You did your first two,
set them over on the side.

331
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:16,400
-Okay, just do two at a time?
-Exactly.

332
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:18,902
-Okay. Okay.
-You got it.

333
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,028
I'm ready.

334
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:23,282
[Fred] If I were to look
at my younger self,

335
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:29,913
I would say that we should be more focused
on being here to help others.

336
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:31,707
And…

337
00:21:32,749 --> 00:21:36,336
it was losing my son in 2000
that brought that about.

338
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:40,215
My son passed away at 15.

339
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,134
[somber music playing]

340
00:21:42,217 --> 00:21:44,511
Needed a heart and lung transplant.

341
00:21:44,594 --> 00:21:48,015
And here I was at the age of 40,
in prison.

342
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:54,771
I had nothing but the remorse of guilt.

343
00:21:57,399 --> 00:22:00,068
Being here and what we do,

344
00:22:00,694 --> 00:22:03,822
helps keep me focused.

345
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,284
And when I'm focused,
you don't think about those things.

346
00:22:07,367 --> 00:22:09,369
[sewing machines whirring]

347
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:13,540
[music fades]

348
00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:18,670
[Ricky] Hey, I need you
to sharpen my scissors.

349
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:20,255
They're just getting old, getting worn.

350
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:26,345
Yeah, felt like it had
chunks missing out of it.

351
00:22:27,429 --> 00:22:29,139
[chuckling]

352
00:22:29,222 --> 00:22:31,975
-[Rod] Don't you dare.
-[man] He almost got had, baby.

353
00:22:32,059 --> 00:22:33,810
[Rod chuckles] Oh, shit.

354
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:37,272
-[man] Cut you a hole in your arm.
-[Rod] Ricky fixing to get dommed.

355
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:38,899
-Oh!
-[Rod chuckles]

356
00:22:38,982 --> 00:22:41,068
-[man] Yeah.
-[Rod] We'll have Ricky put the vest on.

357
00:22:41,151 --> 00:22:45,238
-Maybe it'll give him a calming effect.
-[man] Anything to slow him down.

358
00:22:46,239 --> 00:22:48,408
-[Rod] Looks good on you, Ricky.
-Thank you, Rod.

359
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:49,785
One minute.

360
00:22:50,577 --> 00:22:52,829
-[man chuckles]
-[Rod] Oh, you make a good mannequin.

361
00:22:53,538 --> 00:22:56,917
This one's a six-pounder.
Good for up to a 60-pound kid.

362
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,461
They're going to an autistic school.

363
00:23:00,003 --> 00:23:00,921
Here's the, uh…

364
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:07,260
Here's one of the responses we had
from one that we had sent for these kids.

365
00:23:07,344 --> 00:23:10,389
Says, uh, "Hello.
I'm one of the workers in a home,

366
00:23:10,472 --> 00:23:12,682
and I see the boys a lot
who receive the gifts."

367
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:15,685
"The oldest reported it being
the best Christmas he ever had,

368
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:17,437
and was very happy."

369
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:18,563
"The youngest,

370
00:23:18,647 --> 00:23:21,483
who is severely autistic, loves his,

371
00:23:21,566 --> 00:23:24,986
and has currently taken over
the living room as his own playroom."

372
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:28,448
"She thanks you very much,
and she appreciated it greatly."

373
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:31,118
"She reported never seeing them so happy."
[voice breaks]

374
00:23:31,201 --> 00:23:33,412
[laughs softly]

375
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:34,454
[clicks tongue]

376
00:23:34,538 --> 00:23:35,997
That gets me. [chuckles]

377
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:41,169
[whirring]

378
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:42,337
[Fred] Mr. Potter.

379
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,798
-[Potter] Yes.
-[Fred] You wanna come with me?

380
00:23:44,881 --> 00:23:47,551
[Potter] Yes. I will follow you, Fred.

381
00:23:47,634 --> 00:23:48,510
[Fred chuckles]

382
00:23:50,053 --> 00:23:52,806
-I've got this laid out.
-Nice.

383
00:23:52,889 --> 00:23:57,686
And right… there,

384
00:23:58,812 --> 00:23:59,646
and…

385
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:02,399
-That's wild.
-[Potter] Yeah.

386
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:05,819
Looks like it. Like this piece
comes right here and back around.

387
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:08,363
-[Fred] Yeah.
-[Potter] It's coming along.

388
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:11,199
I think accidentally,
this is gonna come out pretty cool.

389
00:24:11,283 --> 00:24:13,160
-[laughs]
-Yeah, I think so.

390
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:18,623
-[Ricky] Whenever you ready.
-All right.

391
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:22,127
-[Ricky] Okay, we got to get these ready.
-[Chill] Yeah.

392
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:24,212
[sewing machines whirring]

393
00:24:25,338 --> 00:24:26,465
[Ricky] Okay.

394
00:24:30,635 --> 00:24:32,554
You took that one right on down.

395
00:24:32,637 --> 00:24:33,638
[Chill chuckles]

396
00:24:34,931 --> 00:24:36,850
[inmates chattering indistinctly]

397
00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:37,934
[Ricky] Okay.

398
00:24:39,603 --> 00:24:42,522
-[man 1] You got a key now?
-[man 2] You want me to rat on him?

399
00:24:42,606 --> 00:24:44,608
[inmates chattering and laughing]

400
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:46,651
[Ricky] They'll like them.

401
00:24:54,451 --> 00:24:56,453
[engine rumbling]

402
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,166
[poignant music playing]

403
00:25:05,795 --> 00:25:06,922
[Ricky] Fred's gone.

404
00:25:08,924 --> 00:25:11,426
The other day, Fred got a write-up,

405
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,887
and they had to put him out.

406
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:16,848
He used to work on stuff in the cell.

407
00:25:16,932 --> 00:25:19,392
He got caught with a little razor blade,

408
00:25:19,476 --> 00:25:21,186
cutting clothes and fixing them.

409
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:22,646
And it's kind of hard.

410
00:25:22,729 --> 00:25:24,940
If you don't keep your mind in here

411
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:28,109
and try to keep this…
you'll fall like he did.

412
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:31,363
I mean, he was a dang good worker.

413
00:25:31,446 --> 00:25:36,785
You know, it's just that sometimes
you get away, you get rolled up.

414
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:41,289
And around here, anybody can get rolled up
and get put down there.

415
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:42,874
And then you can't come up here.

416
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:44,376
[clacking and whirring]

417
00:25:44,459 --> 00:25:47,337
[Potter] Without Fred,
I think it's gonna be different.

418
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:53,885
Don't forget where we at, you know?
We all ain't perfect, but we trying.

419
00:25:54,427 --> 00:25:56,137
We just trying to do better.

420
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:59,182
Maybe he needed
a couple more steps to do better.

421
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:01,101
That's all, you know.

422
00:26:05,355 --> 00:26:07,941
[Potter] Hey, Paul.
Dropping off the '60s quilt.

423
00:26:08,483 --> 00:26:10,485
[whirring]

424
00:26:19,703 --> 00:26:21,913
-[Ricky] Hold up.
-[pensive music playing]

425
00:26:21,997 --> 00:26:23,248
[Paul] The heck.

426
00:26:23,331 --> 00:26:24,708
[Ricky] It's fucking messed up.

427
00:26:25,208 --> 00:26:27,252
-[Paul sighs]
-We gotta stop.

428
00:26:27,335 --> 00:26:31,256
All right, let's get this off here.
We gotta take it back down and get it off.

429
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:34,593
Ah, we got a problem.

430
00:26:37,470 --> 00:26:38,305
[Ricky sighs]

431
00:26:38,972 --> 00:26:41,516
We gotta get it done
before the end of the week.

432
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,809
Look at this.

433
00:26:42,892 --> 00:26:46,521
The material wasn't stretched out
all the way.

434
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:49,733
And when it's not,
it'll leave little buckles.

435
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:52,360
And something like that, I can't pass.

436
00:26:52,444 --> 00:26:55,947
'Cause this is--
Somebody's going to keep for a long time.

437
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:58,491
We gotta take the whole thing off.

438
00:27:00,035 --> 00:27:02,787
[groans] Boy, this one is pinched bad.

439
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:05,790
Oh, Fred. Holy shit.

440
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,419
Grab that. Bring this over.

441
00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:12,088
There's so many squares.

442
00:27:12,172 --> 00:27:14,424
You got some of that?
Just a little bitty square.

443
00:27:14,507 --> 00:27:15,884
The same kind of material.

444
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:18,178
-[Potter] Those green pieces?
-No. It can't be green.

445
00:27:18,261 --> 00:27:20,639
-Okay.
-[Ricky] Yeah, that's it. Okay.

446
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:22,682
[pensive music continues]

447
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:23,600
[sighs]

448
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:31,816
[clicks]

449
00:27:32,942 --> 00:27:34,944
[whirring]

450
00:27:38,198 --> 00:27:39,616
[Chill] Fred get a chance to see it?

451
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,369
-[Ricky] Uh-uh.
-He ain't get a chance to see it yet.

452
00:27:42,452 --> 00:27:43,620
[sewing machine whirring]

453
00:27:43,703 --> 00:27:46,122
[Ricky] All right,
we need to put this back on.

454
00:27:50,377 --> 00:27:52,379
[pensive music continues]

455
00:27:52,462 --> 00:27:54,297
[whirring]

456
00:27:56,716 --> 00:27:58,009
See, it's gone.

457
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,265
It's all gone.
See how easy that is? No big deal.

458
00:28:06,434 --> 00:28:07,435
[music fades]

459
00:28:11,231 --> 00:28:12,190
Well, it's up!

460
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:14,567
High as I'm going to get it.

461
00:28:15,193 --> 00:28:16,027
[camera clicks]

462
00:28:17,028 --> 00:28:18,405
All right, let's show the back.

463
00:28:19,030 --> 00:28:21,157
-We had a little setback.
-[camera shutter clicks]

464
00:28:21,241 --> 00:28:22,784
All right. Now we're back.

465
00:28:25,578 --> 00:28:27,330
[sewing machines clacking and whirring]

466
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:32,752
[Rod] Ricky's gonna be lost.
He's gonna be heartbroken when I leave.

467
00:28:33,628 --> 00:28:35,505
-Yeah.
-[Rod] I'll be going to a lower level.

468
00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:38,800
And hopefully in five years, I'll be home.
Or less.

469
00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:40,844
We've been around for many years.

470
00:28:40,927 --> 00:28:44,180
[Rod] We've been doing time
for almost 25 years together.

471
00:28:44,264 --> 00:28:46,891
-[Ricky] We're not gonna be--
-We'll never lose touch.

472
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:50,520
It's hard when somebody you like leaves,
you know?

473
00:28:50,603 --> 00:28:54,607
After many years, like I said,
I watch people leave like I told you,

474
00:28:54,691 --> 00:28:57,444
for almost going on 40 years.

475
00:28:57,527 --> 00:28:59,863
-You know? And it's hard.
-[Rod] Mm-hmm.

476
00:28:59,946 --> 00:29:02,949
[Ricky] Who knows?
One day, they might send me out of here.

477
00:29:03,032 --> 00:29:04,117
[Rod] Hopefully.

478
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,286
But then, like, say, do you deserve--

479
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:09,205
I did what I did.
And I tell everybody that.

480
00:29:09,289 --> 00:29:13,084
And I can't imagine how the family feels.

481
00:29:13,168 --> 00:29:14,252
Oh, I can't.

482
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:17,589
But, you know,
it's just something you just gotta…

483
00:29:18,131 --> 00:29:21,259
hope they can forgive,
like I forgive myself, you know?

484
00:29:21,342 --> 00:29:23,094
So, it's mostly…

485
00:29:23,636 --> 00:29:27,432
Most guys can't forgive themselves.
That's why they can't change.

486
00:29:27,515 --> 00:29:29,392
Because that demon's still in 'em.

487
00:29:29,476 --> 00:29:32,562
You gotta be able to forgive yourself
before you can forgive anybody else.

488
00:29:32,645 --> 00:29:34,314
Just like you gotta be able
to love yourself

489
00:29:34,397 --> 00:29:35,565
before you love anybody.

490
00:29:35,648 --> 00:29:38,151
-You know?
-You have to be able to do that.

491
00:29:38,234 --> 00:29:42,113
Because I can stand up and testify

492
00:29:42,197 --> 00:29:45,575
that I let my demon out
a few times in prison.

493
00:29:45,658 --> 00:29:48,161
And I'm not proud of it, you know?

494
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:50,955
But you just gotta…

495
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:55,627
You gotta let it go, you know?
If you don't, it'll eat you up.

496
00:30:16,439 --> 00:30:17,440
[Joe] Hey, White.

497
00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:24,531
Yeah. Dang!

498
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:26,991
Golly.

499
00:30:28,618 --> 00:30:29,744
They got them.

500
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:31,788
-[tender music playing]
-[Chill chuckles]

501
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:34,415
Wow.

502
00:30:35,124 --> 00:30:39,254
"…express my appreciation
to Mr. White, 'Chill,'

503
00:30:39,337 --> 00:30:41,881
and other men who are sewing quilts."

504
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:43,842
Golly!

505
00:30:45,718 --> 00:30:47,971
-Hey, that's good.
-[Chill] Ain't it?

506
00:30:48,054 --> 00:30:50,056
[tender music continues]

507
00:30:50,557 --> 00:30:52,559
[Ricky sniffles, then exhales]

508
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:56,396
[Jeremiah] That's really nice.

509
00:30:57,897 --> 00:30:59,899
[inaudible]

510
00:31:04,737 --> 00:31:05,572
Awesome.

511
00:31:06,447 --> 00:31:09,492
[Ricky] Now I'll get the stapler
and put it up on the board.

512
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:19,085
See, these are-- these were precut.

513
00:31:19,168 --> 00:31:20,712
-They're not straight…
-[Jimmy] 72,16.

514
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:22,672
[Ricky] No, they're not supposed to be…

515
00:31:22,755 --> 00:31:26,342
[Rod] I'll go ahead and trim this off,
and put the other one on top of that…

516
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:29,137
[Ricky] Here's jet black.

517
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:31,389
[poignant music playing]

518
00:31:31,472 --> 00:31:33,141
[Potter] I like the design of it, though.

519
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:34,809
Really neat.

00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:38,146
