or nothing. you barely see the tv. i am in a good spot where i can see the tv a little bit. and this right here is only hope because we're about to eat. once we get done eating, the slot goes back up. it's no fun at all. >> i take things for granted in my life. i took a lot of things for granted in my life. the important things is the things, you know, i always slip up on. so i'm going to try to work on that. so i don't keep on coming back here. >> aaron byerly also has a history of coming back to jail on various drug-related charges. this time he received a five-year sentence and can be transferred out any day. he's doing his best to stay in shape since his gym privileges were suspended after he was caught with contraband. >> i'm doing a limited amount of exercise. you can't do no cardio in here unless you want to be looking retarded. >> working out is one of the only ways byerly deals with the monotony of jail.

the best thing that happens in my day is going to sleep because i get a few hours of freedom. >> my dreams take me to completely different places. i'm always on the streets when i'm dreaming. i'm never locked up. it takes me out of this environment for a good six, seven, eight hours. >> while his dreams offer him a reprieve, dennis hall has just made a deal for a far-more significant break. >> mr. hall, raise your right hand for me? do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? >> i do. >> thank you, sir. >> he's been in louisville metro for two years, facing a potential death sentence but has just reached a plea agreement to spare his life. >> at this point in time, mr. hall would like to withdraw his plea of not guilty. >> instead, he will serve 40 years in prison. >> i may die there. 40 years is a long time.

it's basically a lifetime. >> place your hands on the wall. >> his co-defendant, heather barringer, has reached an plea agreement. the most serious of her charges, complicity to murder, has been dropped. >> i was sentenced for tampering with physical evidence and possession of a forged document. that's all. just those two things. >> it's 10 years at 20%, which is two years. >> because barringer has also been at the jail for almost two years, she could serve as little as an additional three months in prison. >> i will be on parole or probation for the next ten years. as long as i don't do anything wrong or break any laws or anything like that, my life will go back to being normal. >> her new normal will be one without hall. >> i miss him. i wish all this wouldn't have happened. i never planned for this to be a part of my life. i still have feelings for him

but i'm going to try for the rest of my life to worry about me. >> we can remember the good times, because we can't be together no more. just remember each other. i never had no one love me like heather. she has a soft heart and i love her. i always will. coming up, dennis hall goes back to court again. but this time, to hear from the brother of his victim. >> i had a lot of sleepless nights, wrestling with the decision of whether or not to allow the state to take its course or for me to do the job myself. 

>> narrator: unlike prison where sentenced inmates arrive from jails all over the state, jail inmates come from a much smaller

region. they often know each other or staff from the streets. dennis hall has an especially uneasy acquaintance with officer chad bishop. hall murdered his brother. and, today, must appear in court for his formal sentencing. >> you are on the record in the case of dennis m. hall. ready to go forward on the final sentencing? >> judge, we are. >> we had passed this case briefly to allow the victim's family the opportunity to be present for final sentencing. folks, i'm happy to hear from whoever would like to be heard. i will tell you that the only rule is that you have to address me personally. this is not a chance to talk to mr. hall. it's your chance to talk about mr. hall but that you're going to address me and not speak to him directly. it's hard, but that's the way it's got to be. okay? anybody have anything they want to tell me before i impose sentence? >> narrator: chad bishop has

been preparing for this day and has a statement ready for the judge. >> he doesn't realize this, but by his sentencing today, you're actually setting me free. i've had a lot of sleepless nights. wrestling with the decision on whether or not to allow the state to take its course or for me to do the job myself, to be honest. but i have more than myself to think about. so i'll allow justice and the state to run its course and do my job for me. and it won't be quick. and it won't be painless. it's going to be over a very long period of time where every day, he gets to die just a little bit more. and i have worked the prison system and i work in metro corrections. and no matter what anyone says,

those that are incarcerated for a long period of time, they do die a little bit every day. they don't get to do the same things that we in the free world do. it's not going to bring my brother back. it's not going to repair the damage that was done. i don't want anybody to say that they're sorry. i know the only reason that they're sorry for, they were sorry for getting caught. it's a military thing. i bought some victory cigars not long ago. i'll be smoking one this evening. and i have a very special one that cost me $22 that i'm saving for the day when i get the phone call from one of the institutions and they tell me that he's finally dead. well, our family is going to be getting together that very

evening, and i'm not kidding. and we're going to be throwing a dennis-hall-is-dead-and-he's-in- hell party. that's going to be a day of celebration for the family bishop. i'd like to thank you for your time. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> i was actually hoping to look dennis hall right in the eyes. and i wanted him to know that i meant every word that i said. let there be no mistake. when men talk, usually we look each other in the eyes. so i wanted to look him in the eyes and let him know how i actually felt. and when the judge told me that i had to address the court, that took a little bit of the satisfaction out of being able to express myself. but i took my best shot because that's the last time he and i are going to see each other or be in the same room together again. >> mr. hall, i don't know what

happens once you go behind that door, i think you do. you've been to the penitentiary. i agree that it's a wholly unpleasant place to be. my hope for you, and it is for everybody in your situation, is that you take advantage of whatever opportunities are there for you. and that, at some point, you develop a sense of empathy for what you've done to these people. not just to mr. bishop, but to his family. and the curse of that is that you will feel the horror of that. but the blessing of that is that that will allow you to change. good luck with what happens next. thank you all.

it's the place where lies unravel and alibis crumble. >> why wouldn't you abduct them? tell me that. >> the interrogation room, or as cops call it, the box. >> remember, he doesn't like you. he doesn't trust you. and he doesn't respect you. and you've got to overcome those three things before you're going to get a confession. >> in california, a seasoned detective takes us along for a psychological showdown with a suspected serial rapist. >> what was it that pushed you into the idea of forcing sex on women?
