Some of the world's toughest city and county jails as seen through the eyes of corrections officers.

A woman booked for domestic violence begins screaming and can't calm down; two friends arrested for public intoxication embrace in a tearful reunion; a woman is brought in with a stolen car.

An uncooperative woman fights arrest resulting in a trip to the isolation chamber; one inmate calls 911 within jail walls causing confusion; officers run to the rescue when a man passes out.

To avoid self-harm, an intoxicated man is handcuffed to a booking bench; after fighting at a bar, a combative prisoner is arrested; an unmarried couple squabbles during the booking process.

Code Blue alarms sound as inmates start fighting inside the men's jail; an irate man with a huge beard refuses to remove bands inside his facial hair; a man with deep stab wounds stumbles into jail.
