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

Officers have difficulty booking an incomprehensible man; a commotion at a church ends in arrest; a man wearing a tuxedo is detained after mocking officers for wearing pig suits.

A woman lies hobbled in the backseat of a patrol car after kicking the officer in the face; officers struggle to control an outrageous man; they attend to a woman struck by a drunk driver.

A hysterical woman is transferred to an isolation cell; a woman shows her undying LA pride to the arresting officers; a young woman is put under observation for threatening harm to herself.

A testy man is sent to the isolation cell to "cool off"; teary-eyed young man maintains his innocence; an inmate may have ingested contraband to avoid possession charges.
