Walls come tumbling down in the O.C. jail

Work gets started in the Theo Lacy Jail in the O.C., where some walls are coming down to give jailers a better view of inmates. It's part of a push by the Sheriff's Department to address problems at the troubled jail, where inmates beat and killed John Derek Chamberlain in 2006.
