2:00 am
due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. ♪ >> you're a man. you're grown. we shouldn't have to do this. >> an inmate with suspicious tax forms becomes a problem for the jail.
2:01 am
>> don't treat me like i'm stupid or something. i don't have time for this cat and mouse thing. >> a murder ends with a victim burned alive in a dumpster. and pits friends and family against each other. >> this case is interesting because they all have a different story. >> i witnessed him stabbing them. >> they're saying i was the ringleader. >> i think they thought he was dead already and they took him to burn. >> i saw him pouring the gasoline on him. >> different stories from different people. >> i guess a lot has to do with the company you keep. once a year, tampa, florida, undergoes an invasion complete with pirates and blasting cannons. the gasaparilla festival is one
2:02 am
of the biggest events of the year celebrating tampa's buccaneer past. but when it crosses the line from fantasy to reality there, is a place eight miles outside from downtown more than willing to accommodate offenders. the hillsborough county jail is actually comprised of two sprawling facilities with an average daily population of more than 3500 men and women. >> falkenroad jail has housing for up to 3300 inmates. it takes a little bit if you're walk ing to get from one point to another so we utilize the golf carts. depending on where i'm going and what my function is if i have to be there in a hurry, i use the cart. it's smarter. if i'm going two housing units
2:03 am
down i will walk for the exercise. >> four miles away is the orient road facility where up to 1700 inmates can be housed. both facilities are run by a former secret service agent determined to bring the experience he learned guarding a vice president to the job of overseeing thousands of inmates. >> traveling around the world with vice president cheney really taught me more than anything a lot of the self-discipline quality that i need to succeed here and much of what i learned there helped me in running the jails. >> we run a pretty orderly operation here. the inmate behavior is not one that causes us concern. we look at other jails where violence is widespread that is not a problem we typically deal typically here. >> 150 new arrestees from two dozen law enforcement agencies are processed through the orient road intake facility and the potential for violence is always present. >> can never let your guard down here.
2:04 am
if you let your guard down here, as soon as you do, something bad happens. that's what makes booking unique. it's just the fact that you are dealing with them right as they are coming in. they are real agitated, scared, you know, confused. you'll have a room with 40, 50, 100 people. just by looking you'll never know what they're in here for. you never judge a book by his cover. the guy who looks like he is in here for murder and might be here for a joint and the little old lady might be the one who stabbed her husband. you just never know. >> most of the men and women in intake are here within hours of arrest. unlike prison where all the inmates are convicted most jail inmates stand accused of crimes and are being held while their cases make the way through the legal system. but once a day a bus load of state prison inmates arrive most appealing convictions or
2:05 am
sentences, and will remain here until the appeals are settled in nearby courts. >> some of them have boxes and boxes of legal material that we have to search through for contraband. >> the search process angered one of the newly arrived state prisoners. >> he is agitated because we are going through his property and we're going through his legal material page by page. >> the inmate became threatening when intake officer s found suspicious documents in his legal paperwork and confiscated them. >> he is a state prisoner serving 30-plus years. he's aggravated. i'm going to put extra staff on him. >> the jail takes no risks with new arrivals especially from the state prison system. nearby in housing unit 6f sergeant sarah herman has just learned that the agitated inmate is headed her way. >> right now i'm getting a new arrival from the booking area. my sergeant just called me and told me that this gentleman is not happy.
2:06 am
taking one, two, three, four, five, six. once he is out of their custody we bring it down emotionally so he doesn't cause disturbance in my area. >> thank you, we appreciate it. >> we'll talk when we get you secured in a cell. >> here it is. >> bring your hands forward. >> thanks, sarge. >> the inmate is brian singletary serving a 30-year prison sentence for crimes of assault on a law enforcement officer, carrying a concealed firearm and possession of cocaine with intent to sell. he's returned to the jail to appeal his sentence. >> so what is your complaint? >> my complaint is i have been getting treated bad since i got here. i have been singled out. >> what happened? >> my legal stuff that went through and tore up. i don't know what has been taken and not. >> we have no interest in taking your legal stuff.
2:07 am
>> it is taking me out of my -- out of your element. you're here early. exactly. >> i had deadlines. i need my legal stuff. >> it's clear you are frustrated and angry right? >> yeah. >> get me an opportunity to get you your legal stuff. we'll be done with it. okay? >> master deputy steven gray is one of the jail's internal investigators. he knows singletary from his prior stays at the jail. >> what i have is the paperwork that was confiscated from inmate singletary. i suspect this is the reason why he is upset. he is upset.we have income tax forms, the 1040 ez forms that he has filled out all different individuals. they have all their social security numbers on here. on his homemade spreadsheet we have a refund due anywhere from 4,000 all the way up to $6500. there's a lot of money here and i suspect he is not doing
2:08 am
income tax paperwork for the guards or anything like that. you would only think he is up to no good as far as filing fake returns to obtain money. it could be huge. >> so huge that it doesn't take long for the word of the tax returns to reach the top f the jail system. they don't know why singletary has the returns or that he is involved in anything wrongful but the possibility of misconduct concerns them. >> one of the things i did during the time i was a secret service agent was investigate bank fraud and identity threat. i dealt with people who were ruined. it is most underrated crime in the country. he arrives with that kind of information and that kind of personal data about what could be potentially be dozens of innocent people we take that seriously. >> coming up. >> all of it is a part of my case. >> brian singletary continues his disruptive behavior. >> bring the tone down a little bit.
2:09 am
relax. let me take a look. and three former roommates implicate each other in a gruesome crime. >> they are saying i planned it, i made everybody do it.
2:10 am
2:11 am
2:12 am
there are nearly 500 women incarcerated at the hillsborough county jail in tampa, florida. most live in dormitory style housing units. but another portion of the female population lives in cells with far more restrictive conditions. >> this is a lockdown unit. we deal with several types of inmates back here. we have high-profile inmates. we have psych inmates. we have disciplinary. it is usually an inmate that's in the news recently
2:13 am
because of their charges. >> rosanna dimauro's case is high profile. >> when you're in lockdown, you are helpless. you can't fend for yourself or get a roll of toilet paper when you need it. anything you want done you have to ask to be done for you. she is allowed out of her cell only one hour per day. >> this is the hour we get to schedule outside visits and the hour we get to shower. >> it's also chance to socialize with other inmates on the unit who are out at the same time. >> i braid her hair and do her eyebrows. stuff she couldn't do on her own. >> i feel good. i feel alive because i have human contact. >> dimauro has been on this
2:14 am
since seven months earlier for allegedly playing a role in a sadistic murder in tampa. reports say the victim was beaten, stabbed, and burned alive. dimauro was not charged with the murder but helping cover it up afterwards. she has pled not guilty. >> i am charged with accessory with first degree murder after the fact. i guess a lot it has to do with the company you keep. >> and the company she kept was four adult men who lived with her and her 3-year-old son in this apartment. all four men have been charged for various roles in the murder. >> this case is interesting because there are four or five so-defendants and they all have a different story about what happened the night or the morning of the crime. so it is a very tangled web of things. it is something you would see on tv or movie. there are a bunch of moving parts to this crime. it'll be something to see how it plays out in court. >> one of the defendants is kasey ackerman who was dimauro's
2:15 am
live-in boyfriend at the time. at age 20 he is 18 years her junior. >> i am implicated as the alpha dog of the house. i was the man of the household. they're saying that i was the ringleader and saying the one that was over it all, i planned it. i made everybody do it. >> ackerman is currently less than 100 yards away from his former girlfriend in the men's confinement unit. he pled not guilty to murdering 26-year-old robert brewer. brewer was living on the streets of tampa when he became friends with some of dimauro's other male roommates and invited to the apartment for dinner. >> i was thinking not another freeloader around here. >> prosecutors say ackerman grew
2:16 am
angry because of the attention he was giving her. >> the whole time he had his shirt off showing off his tattoos and then to me. >> would you describe kasey as a jealous person? >> yes. >> dimauro claims that not long after brewer's arrival she went out for the evening. >> next thing i know police are knocking at the door in the morning and i answered the door. when i answered the door, they said that we need to come in for questioning for murder. and i was really surprised. and i was like where? who got murdered? >> prosecutors say dimauro knew about the murder and helped to clean up the blood afterwards and covered for some of her roommates who committed the murder. if convicted ackerman, the alleged ringleader could face the death penalty. but he says he had nothing to do with it. >> we're drinking and doing pills, smoking pot just different stuff inside the apartment. and i fell asleep on the couch watching a movie.
2:17 am
i mean i didn't hear no commotion or nothing going on. >> if ackerman and dimauro are found guilty it could be in part because of dimauro's 19-year-old son david link. he accepted a plea deal for his part in the murder and is cooperating with the prosecutors. >> i'm charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder. and they're going to give me 35.5 months followed by 5 years probation. i told them everything i knew from my perception and everything i saw happen in order for them to know what happened. i feel like i did the right thing. >> link is a separate housing unit at the hillsborough county jail to serve out his sentence. he said his mother was not out but in the apartment during the entire ordeal and that ackerman initiated the attack after the victim fell asleep in the bedroom.
2:18 am
>> i just heard some banging around. i didn't know exactly what was happening. at one point kasey came out and i tried to ask what is going on. he said it's better if you don't know. >> link say that ackerman ordered him to buy gasoline and bring it back to the apartment. when he returned, things were much worse. >> he had stab wounds in his neck and chest and then later on after that, i witnessed them stabbing him and they had taken his clothes. at that point everything hit me what they were doing. >> link says he assumed the gasoline would be used to burn brewer's clothes but instead he claims ackerman and their two male roommates stuffed brewer inside a duffle bag and carried him out to the dumpster. >> i thought he was dead because he wasn't moving but the duffel bag was moving in and out and kasey was starting to pour the gasoline on him.
2:19 am
i couldn't -- i was kind of just stuck at that moment. i didn't know what to do. i was just taken aback by the image. >> within seconds the dumpster was in flames and brewer was incinerated. >> were you afraid of him? >> that night, yes. >> of what? >> of getting stabbed. >> since link is already convicted and sentenced for his part in the murder he is eligible to serve his time in a general population dorm with far fewer restrictions than the confinement unit. that frustrates kasey ackerman. >> he is in general population right now. but they want to keep me behind this door. it's not right, you know what i'm saying? i feel like i'm being punished and at that point all i can do is prepare my mind for the worst and hope for the best. >> you going to be all right? >> in the next cell over brian singletary is also frustrated with being in confinement and it's only been a little more than a day now.
2:20 am
when he arrived at intake, jail officials confiscated suspicious tax forms that he claimed were part of his legal paperwork. now he wants them back. >> i'm missing a big part of my paperwork. >> the only thing she did not put in there is some type of tax form. is that what you are talking about? >> the tax stuff, all that stuff is part of my case. i got a lot of my stuff in here already. >> relax, singletary. i'm going to go down there myself. >> i got more of the same stuff right here. all this is part of my case. it's my federal case. what i'm saying is i have a motion and some more pertinent documents that i need that i talked to my lawyer about. >> relax. bring the tone down a little bit. just relax. let me take a look. >> as the deputy looks into his complaints, he continues his disturbance, eventually banging on his cell door and drawing the attention of sergeant herman.
2:21 am
>> a lot of times they are not thinking, they're not thinking about their actions afterwards, the consequences. the people will bang on the window so hard they don't realize their fists are swollen. so forall of that to stop, yes, we have to protect them even when they don't know any better. >> and singletary is about to find out just what that means. coming up -- >> not fun. >> not fun. >> brian singletary learns about the chair. >> looks a little relaxing until you get into it right? [ thinking ] wonder what other questionable choices i've made? i choose date number 2! whooo! [ sigh of relief ] [ male announcer ] choose taste. choose prego.
2:22 am
2:23 am
2:24 am
at the hillsborough county jail in tampa, floridak, brian singletary's continuing disruptive behavior has not gone unnoticed. >> i'm calm, but i'm numb. i can't really feel my legs and my arms. >> it's been 24 hours since singletary arrived from a florida state prison and intake
2:25 am
officers searching his legal paperwork found suspicious documents they believe are linked to a tax fraud scam. singletary denies that. >> i just needed to have that legal work. >> he is demanding the return of his paperwork but his aggressive behavior has prompted officers to put him in the restraint chair. >> i was banging on the door because they wouldn't come talk to me. that's the way to get them down to talk to me so they didn't have no understanding so it was the chair. and that makes me numb. i don't like this chair. i can say that much. >> it's purely a time-out. it can go anywhere from a few minutes up to four hours. >> singletary has been in the restraint chair for three hours. sergeant sarah herman will determine when he is calm enough to be released back to his cell. >> if it says calm across the
2:26 am
board for 30 minutes, i always go in to have a talk with them to bring it back to this is why you're here. this is why you have been placed in the chair. do you understand that? this is not the way to get things done here in the jail. when we talked last time you said i was going to be doing this all day. >> i don't do this. i was upset. >> how will i even know your character when you just got here yesterday? >> i'm a man of my word. you're saying that. >> i do not play. when you decide you want to be disruptive, okay, consequences are to follow. okay? zero tolerance for negative behavior. >> absolutely. >> you can't destroy things. you can't bang on the windows because it's going to hurt you. in the long run, that's why we use the chair. if they are compliant and going in agreement with what i'm saying, absolutely, they'll come out. but again it depends on their demeanor. >> you're a man. >> exactly. >> you're grown. >> exactly.
2:27 am
>> we shouldn't have to do this. >> exactly. >> did i not tell you when the captain will get with you regarding the legal work >> exactly. >> but you decided to force the issue. >> no. >> we're not going to have that anymore. i just want to make sure. >> i gave you my word. >> i need confirmation yes or no? >> you will not have any trouble out of me. no. >> i need confirmation we're not going to have more problems? >> and i said no. >> thank you. >> deputies will now release singletary from the chair and escort him back to his cell in the men's confinement unit. >> your first time in the chair. what did you think? >> not fun. >> not fun. looks a little relaxing until you get into it, right? >> i'm relaxed but it's uncomfortable. your whole body be numb. >> absolutely. >> something i don't want to do again. >> changes his behavior.
2:28 am
let him get his feet stable on the ground first. get his bearing. go. >> the nurse is here. she's going to check you out to make sure everything is okay. >> just get out of the chair. do ankle check. there was no force. there was no, you know -- compliant. >> not close to the door. >> all the way back. >> okay. >> we're done for the day. i'm just asking, sir. are we done for the day? tell me what i need to do because i got to move on. >> i'm sorry. >> absolutely not. we're there. we're in the same lane. good deal. >> coming up. >> to see her actually get put in shackles and stuff was not the highlight of my time. >> a jailhouse triangle in which a son could send his mother to prison and her ex-boyfriend attempts to win her back with poetry.
2:29 am
>> so now it is our very lucky day.

2:33 am
way to spend his time. >> right now i'm about to color this picture. i'm doing it with m&ms because we don't have nothing else in here. i put them in water on the spoon. i wait for the color to come off that. i have a pencil without any lead in it which i have folded it over with wood and i dip this in it and paint the picture. i got the basic colors from the m&ms. the chocolate is left and i'll eat that. >> link is the son of rosanna dimauro whose ex-boyfriend is kasey ackerman. currently all three are in the custody of the hillsborough county jail on various charges related to the stabbing and incineration murder of 26-year-old robert brewer. the crime made local headlines and like all such incidents caught the attention of master deputy steven gray. >> what we have here is our
2:34 am
high-profile board. anything that makes the paper, any suspects will make the board. this is an interesting case. an older female is dating a younger male who is friends with her son and they are now locked up in our facility awaiting trial. >> ackerman, who prosecutors say was the ringleader of the murder, has been held in the men's lock down unit where he is confined 23 hours a day. >> the finger's been pointed. i've been implicated in it. so this is where i got to sit. >> thoughts of dimauro help occupy his time. >> this is her sitting on the back of the couch in her mom's house. that is her on the beach of the coast of california. she took that part of my heart. and just something, you know what i'm saying. i'll never be able to let go. >> but dimauro doesn't share ackerman's passion. >> it wasn't on intended on being a relationship. it was intended on being a
2:35 am
one-night thing. we weren't together that long. literally just a couple of months, so it wasn't something i was planning on going forward with. >> still as ackerman awaits his murder trial in jail, he writes love poems. >> it's called my wondering love for her. it says "here i am wondering if i'll ever get to see the light of day because i have this love for her that will never go away. but not that day. all she did was be crazy and run away, and i will never leave again and i will -- and i love you so, so much, man. so much, so much that i -- that i want to stay. so now it is our very lucky day." i love rosanna, so much. you know what i'm saying? i spent my days thinking about her, what we should do, what we can do. i wish that i could write her but she don't write back.
2:36 am
>> in jail inmates in different housing units are not allowed to correspond but someone else has been writing to dimauro. >> there is a lot of letters. >> dimauro has recently connected with a former co-worker and they have forged a romantic bond. >> love you and hope you love the card. he takes care of me in here. he gives me money for canteen he comes and visits me every day. he writes me letters every day. i am locked in this cell for 24 hours a day. and he is there with the caring words that somebody needs to hear. >> i probably done lost my chance, you know what i'm saying. she probably is going to move on and find another person to be with. it hurts in some ways, you know what i'm saying, but there is nothing i can do about it if she wants to be with me or someone else. i wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and i still do. >> but dimauro is far more concerned about her son david. >> this is my son david. this is when he was 16.
2:37 am
when i look at the photograph, it just makes me think of the good times we've had together. he's funny. he's always -- he's always making me laugh. and that's what i miss most about him. >> since they were arrested dimauro has seen link only once during a court hearing. >> when i went to court, my son david did a heart motion. like this. he put his hands like this in a heart shape and he said that he loved me. he couldn't speak out loud but he just motioned his lips, "i love you." it made me just burst out crying. >> link has accepted a plea deal for his role in the murder and could be called to testify against his mother and ackerman. >> i dent want to testify against no one, but i've always been a firm believer that truth will set you free and everything. this crime was against my morals. so you just wait for me to fight
2:38 am
that in my mind was just tell them the truth about what happened. >> his testimony could send his mother to prison for years. >> i could lose my whole entire life. my biggest fear is not getting out until my kids and my grandchildren are grown. i'm very upset but i love my son and, i mean, he's blood. he's family, no matter what. and i love him to death. but, you know, i really feel sad that he would do something like that. >> with her trial potentially months away, dimauro says she copes with her time in confinement by sleeping 16 hours a day. >> i like to sleep if i can because it takes away all the pain. i don't want to feel anything right now. if i did i'd break apart and i can't allow that to happen for my kids. it's better to sleep it through than to sit here and think and think and think. it's not fun. it's not fun. >> coming up. >> what's going on, brian?
2:39 am
>> brian singletary faces an interrogation from authorities. >> i don't have nothing to hide. i'm not guilty about nothing. >> you need to cut your hair. >> i'm not cutting my hair. >> and kasey ackerman faces a different sort of interrogation from his little sister. >> i told you you don't need to have a wife when you have a sister like me.

2:41 am
2:42 am
at the hillsborough county jail in tampa, florida, master deputy steven gray notices a story in his morning paper that hits close to home. >> the headline is inmate stole $39 million from the irs in 2009, and that is just what they caught in their audits so the estimate is much
2:43 am
more than that and the cover story continues on the second page. i mean, that's a pretty huge article. you go to the list and the number one is florida. >> according to the report prison inmates in florida accounted for $12.6 million in fraudulent claims, almost a third of the national total. >> not only are we number one, we are pretty ahead of the game as far as number wise. it's amazing what they can do from behind bars. what they do is they might file five, they might file 10, they might file 30 and it's just hit and miss what goes through and doesn't go through. they do a lot of homework and have people help them from the outside, friends, family, and it's actually a big organized crime deal if you look at it. premeditated obviously. you know, it's pretty sinister. >> it's been two months since deputies uncovered what they believed was just such a tax fraud scam when brian singletary came
2:44 am
through booking. >> we took a bunch of suspicious paperwork off of him. that looked like might be used in tax fraud. >> about $70,000 worth of tax refunds were listed in the ledger deputies confiscated from singletary. he initially maintained that the documents were part of his legal case and changed his story saying they belonged to another prison inmate. now deputy gray wants to find out more. >> what's going on, brian? been all right? >> all right. >> all right, bro. i told you i'd come back down and talk with you over that stuff we confiscated off you when you came in. i'm going to be honest with you, you know, it's going to be confiscated. you're not going to get any of that back. >> i told you it's not mine anyway. it doesn't much matter. >> they treating you okay? you ain't been in the chair since that second day? >> no. i'm all right. >> i figured you'd calm down. you ever get the rest of your
2:45 am
legal -- >> they gave me some hard times. but, you know -- >> you got it though? >> i got it, yeah. >> i've known him on and off far for a few years. i'm hoping he will open up to someone like myself. i have been studying the whole tax fraud thing that goes on in prison. >> uh-huh. >> are you aware that that stuff goes on in state prison as far as tax fraud and scams? >> i've seen it on the news. >> i've read up on it. i know as far as the 10 ho forms and the 1040 ezs and i know they use other people's names and all that stuff. i wonder if there's other angles they take. >> i don't know what does it. i don't get into that. >> all right. >> it's frustrating for me to talk to brian singletary. he is intelligent and well read on the law. he wants to beat around the bush and you have to extract a little bit of truth from what he is telling you.
2:46 am
between you and i you had to know when someone looks at that paperokay -- >> i didn't know what it was. i stuck it in my stuff. >> you think that guy you were holding it for, your buddy, is that kind of what he's into? >> i guess. >> you think -- you don't have an -- you're an educated guy. >> but it would be an opinion. >> i'm saying educated guess. >> if that's what he do, that's what he do. >> one plus one is equaling two. >> i'm saying as far as i'm concerned. >> i already know. my gut feeling is if he's not running the tax scam, he's got close associates up in state prison that are doing this. >> you want to know about the tax forms. make it easy for me. >> he's willing to give us some information but of course with brian singletary he wants something in return and what he's wanting is something i
2:47 am
can't give him and that's help on his appeal is why he is in state prison right now and that can't happen. as of right now it's pretty much a dead issue with brian singletary unless -- i'm hoping he gets second thoughts and maybe in two or three days he puts in the word that he wants to talk again. >> i've always shot straight with you. i'm not going to lie to you. you know, that's thought how i run my game, and it's not going to get me anywhere. it's not going to get you anywhere. if you need anything, you know what i mean, you want to talk about something, we'll talk. >> okay. >> all right? >> all right. >> this guy was in prison, and he's got people's personal information. you know, we put alarm systems on our cars and houses but we sometimes tend to dish our personal information out freely. and from my experience, the one thing you should protect and guard more than anything is that kind of information, and for this guy to have it is a wake-up story to anyone.
2:48 am
they are out there and have your information and they can ruin your life. >> one cell over from singletary's kasey ackerman awaiting trial on a murder charge is confined to his cell 23 hours a day limiting times for visits from family including the person he is closest too, his 19-year-old half sister tara. today she has come to the visitor's center to see ackerman, but they'll still be a quarter heil apart. the jail requires the inmates to stay in their housing units and the visits are conducted via telephone and tv. >> hey woman. >> hi, hot stuff. can you see me? >> how is it going? >> i talked to your sister last night >> yeah. >> have you heard about rosanna? >> she's just right across the hall. >> is david link still in there? is he still in county? are you worried about what he's going to testify? >> nope, i ain't worrying about all of they will, i'll smile and grin at them, cheese.
2:49 am
