and if you do have to shoot,
you're not liable to miss.

:48:05
And when they hear that pump gun...
:48:08
when you rack that,
there's no other sound like it.

:48:11
Usually you don't have to fire it.
:48:14
They get moving pretty fast.
They'll move away.

:48:17
They don't like the sound.
:48:19
They know exactly what you have.
:48:21
You don't have to say,
''I have a gun in my hand.''

:48:23
They know it'll really tear them up.
:48:28
With higher unemployment
creating more crime in Flint...

:48:30
General Motors and the United Auto
Workers' union came up with a novel idea.

:48:35
Train the ex-auto workers to be prison
guards and give them jobs in the jails...

:48:39
now filling up
with their former line mates.

:48:42
It's kind of sad in a way
to see somebody that you know...

:48:44
or had done something with
on the outside being in jail...

:48:47
or sentenced to prison
or something like that.

:48:51
But I guess it's, you know...
The theory goes, you play, you pay.

:48:56
And you get over it.
:48:57
I'd have a possibility to move on.
:49:00
That's what this 160-hour program
was all about.

:49:03
I have a certificate now, stating that
I can apply anywhere in the United States.

:49:07
The money's not an object right now.
:49:09
If I can improve myself, morally,
the money will come later.

:49:13
It's almost half
of what I was making at General Motors...

:49:16
- but I like the work a lot better.
- You'll do what?

:49:19
It's not as hot.
:49:20
You don't scare me by saying that.
I'll screw your fucking ass!

:49:24
I don't care what you think! I'll screw you!
:49:26
You'll cope with me in a few days,
I'm telling you that now!

:49:30
You don't scare me! I know my rights!
:49:32
- I went to school, okay?
- What's going on?

:49:35
Someone in a heated discussion
down there, I guess.

:49:39
I'm going to jump you! I'll get you, man!
:49:44
...a staff member is a violation of that rule.
:49:46
I don't respect you!
:49:49
When you give me respect, I'll respect you.
:49:52
- Take it easy.
- I know my rights!
