7:10 pm
>> i've been in here five months and i've done more thinking i think in this five months than i've done in the past seven years. and brayden seemed like the type of chick that would help me stay on the positive side, you know, that would keep me going, you know, with god and stay out of trouble. >> is he watching me? >> uh-huh. >> uh-oh. >> daily not only declares her feelings for him in writing but also makes sure that her needs are taken care of, too. >> i put money on her books too. her family is mad at her for being here. so they don't. >> she started putting money on my books. so i found out, you know that she was a little bit more serious than what i had taken her for. >> if it works out, then it works out. if not, at least i actually know that i have a chance with people that are -- that are at least 18 now. because i didn't before.

>> i like to do puzzles. this is an easy one that keeps me up on the words because i start losing my vocabulary after awhile. and i don't want to get into too much that have you know stuff. >> as one of the oldest inmates at the maricopa county jail in phoenix, 68-year-old patrick stanwick has found his own way to fit in. >> i can't say i have got an enemy. i don't feel like i've got an enemy in maybe 72 guys in here . we listen to each other's stories and a lot of them are like i say really sad. i used to think my dad was hard on me when i was growing up. he used to whip me with a belt. these guys have been whipped with 2 x 4s and worse.
7:44 pm
and so my story is nothing compared to them. so i just shut up and listen. a lot of them haven't had any dads. i can be a dad figure. i can be a grandfather figure. and i'm grandpa or papa, that's okay. there is a lot of camaraderie here. and we are all, like kind of like being in the military. not to insult the military, i've been there for ten years. but there's a regiment to it. >> initially it took time for stanwick to accept being incarcerated. >> when he first got here he had a little bit of an attitude problem. he was grumpy. think he was having problems adjusting to the new environment that he had. nothing major. just, you know, kind of a pissy attitude i don't want to be here. so i'm going to be grumpy. he was a little abrasive. like for food and stuff like that, because normally you ask them their name. they're cool, hey, good morning officer.
7:45 pm
what's your name? stanwick! he changed over time. i don't know if it was he came to the realization where he was at and accepted it. or he got used to the environment. as used as these guys can get. >> the biggest thing i tried to learn in here is how to stay out of trouble. you know because i already come in with enough trouble. i've don't need any more. i'm trying to make the best of a bad situation. but -- there are some days it's not too bad. >> today is one of those days. stanwick just had a visit from his wife. he is hoping to salvage his eight-year marriage, despite having rammed her condominium with his truck. >> she visited for an hour. we had a very nice discussion. and, it looks like we may be able to put things back together. i am an alcoholic. and that's caused my problems with my marriage. i got seven grandchildren, one great grandchild at home in ohio. and i hope to be able to go and
7:46 pm
visit them this spring somewhere and fall when i'm free and stay out of trouble. >> stanwick hopes that by getting himself in shape, he might be better able to deal with his alcoholism. >> 27 times around this loop is one mile. and i try to do two miles a day, because of my age, i can't really do the physical exercise all the young guys do. i believe the system will turn me free. and i will be able to go back to being a retired old man like i was before i got into all of this trouble. >> inmates at the maricopa county jail, employ a variety of ways to pass time while doing time. brayden daly likes to play tricks on her cellmate. >> she's terrified of the mice so this is what i play on her all the time. she'll think there's a mouse in here. >> daly's jail house girlfriend,
7:47 pm
emilie keen, says her latest trick wasn't the least bit funny. >> believe it or not, brayden ended up cheating on me with another girl. and i am very disappointed. >> have it. >> she was putting money on my books. everything was going good. i found out a couple days ago she started dating some girl in the hole for 45 days. so it has been going on and i guess you could say i do feel played, but, you can't hate the player, you hate the game. >> did you guys know that brayden is going out with carrie? >> his latest interest is carrie kimbro who finished a turn in the hole after being tested positive for meth. >> carrie and i got close, writing each other. we would go to rec with each other. sit down and talk to each other all the time. carrie and i would just look at each other and we'd be content. >> we are just friends kind of right now. she likes me more than that. i do have a husband that is in prison. we're not going to be together
7:48 pm
anymore. he almost killed me. so, i -- i am anti-men right now. >> for kimbro, the friendship with daly has benefits. >> her mom puts money on my books every week. her mom sends me books. that's something we are going to do. >> daly who came to jail because of an inappropriate relationship with a minor, sees 28-year-old kimbro as a step in the right direction. >> it's weird because our age difference is kind of a gap. she is about seven years older than me. that's different from, anything i have, anyone i have dated before obviously. but we have gotten really close. i know pretty much anything about her, like, if you asked me i would know it. >> but there are some things daly doesn't know. >> i don't think that i will carry on a relationship with brayde outside of jail.
7:49 pm
i think it's just a friendship thing. i think brayden is a little too immature, and the crime, specifics of her crime. mew brother-in-law is a cop so i had him look her up. my brother-in-law sent me a postcard letting me know that i was involving a very, very young minor. that didn't make me happy. brayden is just a friend. she needs somebody i think as a friend, you know to be there for her. to maybe help guide her. but there is no way i am going -- there would ever be anything sexual there. no way. >> carrie has trust issues because of her last relationship. she is afraid. carrie has been through a lot in past relationships, so have i. carrie and i had an issue about me being transgender because she liked girls more than guys, and i was going to get surgery to be a guy. i told carrie, well if it absolutely came down to it. i could probably stop my surgery. but i told carrie how important it was to me and she knows how important it is to me and she
7:50 pm
agreed that she -- she would still be here. it would be fine. >> the key to survive is to be headstrong and don't show any weaknesses because in here, it's a zoo. you know, if somebody knows your weakness, they're going to eat it up. they're going to chew on it. coming up, personal dramas inside the maricopa county jail will forever alter lives. from . ...with the best math scores. ...the united states would be on that list. in 25th place. let's raise academic standards across the nation. let's get back to the head of the class.

at the maricopa county jail in phoenix, the average stay is 26 days. but brayden daley has been here for six months while she and her
7:54 pm
attorney attempt to reach a plea deal with her prosecutor. >> you're in a little box all day, either by yourself or with a stranger that you don't know anything about. you don't know why they're there. and you can't have fun in jail. you can try, but you're here to do time and leave. >> but now at least the end is in sight. daley decided to sign a plea deal reducing her charge of sexual misconduct with a minor to attempted sexual misconduct with a minor. as a result, she will serve another six months at mayor cope pal before going home. but she will also face lifelong probation and must register as a sex offender adhering to the long list of restrictions that come with it. >> the fear i have once i leave is the fact that every time i see someone younger than me or younger than 18 i'm going to
7:55 pm
have to -- i'm going to have to turn and basically run away. i'm going to be labeled as a sex offender the rest of my life. and it's really hard because i've never seen myself like that. >> but daley says she hasn't lost hope. >> i got to meet with my in-house probation officer and she gave me some good news. i have lifetime probation and i'm actually going to only be doing about five years of it if i do what i'm supposed to, if i get everything done, like get my ged, go to classes. >> daley's friend, carrie kimbrough signed a plea deal, as well. originally charged with 29 counts of fraud and racketeering and possibly facing 16 years in prison, she has pled to three counts of forgery with a sentence of 4 1/2 years. but with good time and probation, she could be back home in a year and a half. >> i could have done cartwheels
7:56 pm
in my courtroom. i was excited, i was happy. i'm very fortunate and very lucky that i'll be able to go home in a year and a half and i'll be able to be with my kids and stuff. it's awesome. >> i was really excited because now i get to see her a lot quicker. my relationship with carrie when i get out of here, it's going to be pretty serious. i mean we're already getting there. you can get married in prison. i've already collected into it. i've had my mom do that. >> brayden daley may believe that they have a future together. but now that she's likely to soon be leaving maricopa, kimbrough has just revealed to us that her relationship with daly was just a scam. >> my friend introduced me. she's like, hey, she puts money on other girls books, whatever. i was like yeah, right. and she was like, seriously, and you guys know emilie. she's a writer. so i started writing her letters.
7:57 pm
my relationship with brayden is awesome. it's letter writing. her mom puts money on my books every week. i don't have to see her, i don't touch her. i'm over here. she's over there. my mom is sick. i don't want to ask her for [ bleep ]. my in-laws take care of my kids, you know. i don't have any money of my own right now, so -- a girl has to have a game while she's in jail, right? >> carrie kimbrough may be willing to cause pain to get what she wants, but 68-year-old patrick stanwick has learned the hard way that hurting people can come back to haunt you. his wife just sent him separation papers. they arrived on his wedding anniversary. >> she said it was just a coincidence but it seemed like a hell of a coincidence. >> what would you say to her? >> it would be what i've said to her in my letters that i'm very sorry. we've always had a communication
7:58 pm
problem, and you were probably better off not to have met me, and i can't say the same thing about her because i enjoy and love her. but she'll have wounds. she's already got wounds and -- from this. she's afraid of me and with the right -- with real reasons and i hope that life goes on good for her. she's a good person. i haven't been a good grandpa or a good father. but i'm an alcoholic and i did the best i could. so hopefully i'll get through this and still have a few years left to spend with my family. if my wife wants to come, if she's still my wife, then she's welcome to. but they have to be my priority
7:59 pm
now because my time is running out. >> like all inmates at maricopa, stanwick, daley and kimbrough will see their identities forever altered by the actions that brought them here. so will he aristaio. >> dealing with the other guys in here and hearing their stories is like it's very emotional, you know? i won't shed no tears. for anything, you know? me being in here is just, it's not going to help anything to be crying about it. believe me, sometimes i do, i do feel like crying, yelling out, screaming and you know, just hitting things. but you know, it's vets emotional. it's an emotional roller coaster in here.
