indiana's wabash valley correctional facility houses nearly 2200 inmates. more than one-third of them are doing time for serious violent crimes. unless isolated in solitary confinement, the vast majority of inmates live in two-man cells. pairings are critical and avoiding a volatile mix of cell mates is a constant challenge. >> we try to not put people doing life with people who are going home next year or blacks with whites or white supremist with somebody who might have a child molestation case, just to resolve the conflict before it happens. >> but even with careful screening conflicts can still arise between cell mates. >> there is a guy in the infirmary has received several injuries to his facial and head

area. at this point, he is saying he had a seizure. we will try to talk to him. he may have been assaulted with a hot pot. we're going to talk to him and see if he is willing to talk at all. >> the victim is curtis cash, who is serving a 29-year sentence for burglary. >> cash? >> yeah. >> what's up with you, man? >> you can stay laid down if you want to? what happened? >> fell. >> where? >> in my cell. >> did you get dizzy? >> i don't remember. >> have you fell like this before since you have been here? >> no. >> do you have a medical condition that would make you fall? >> no. >> you just trip over something? >> i don't remember. >> you don't remember. somebody help you fall? >> no. >> no? is it safe to assume that probably something more than you falling happened that you just don't want to talk about? >> i don't -- >> who do you live with?

>> woods. >> woods? >> yeah. >> what's his first name? >> i don't know. >> how long did you guys live together? >> probably eight months. >> eight months. and you think you are safe going right back to the same cell you was in? >> yeah. >> you don't think you'll fall again? >> no. >> you think for whatever reason you fell for this time is over with and you won't fall more? >> should be. >> you understand where we're coming from. we've got to protect you. >> i fell. >> you don't want to talk about what happened? >> trying to get medical attention. >> i will get you all fixed up. they've done x-rays, right? >> he reported that he had fallen in his cell, which is typical in prison instead of

snitching on anybody. they say they feel or had a seizure. it looks like his jaw is broken or his orbital is fractured. staff think that something was done with a hot pot. there was a hot pot inside cell that was broke. the cell mate is in cuffs. >> the cell mate is dana woods serving 70 years for aggravated battery and confinement. >> there was an incident in the cell. >> the man fell. >> pretty substantial injuries for just falling. >> i'm sure that the man has epileptic seizures. >> there was a lot of blood in the cell. >> right. he had a good gash on his head. >> how did the hot pot get broke? >> the hot pot? >> it was in the cell. >> we were fixing a hot pot before and it had been in the trash the whole time. >> i can tell you i have been here 15 years and ain't nobody

ever had a fall that looked like that. >> he fell on the bed. >> i'm not going to tell you what he told me just like i wouldn't tell anybody else what you told me if you were beat up. i'm not going to start doing that now. he might have told me he fell and he might have told me you beat the [ bleep ] out of him. >> that didn't happen. >> you are running around here assaulting people and i'm convinced you did this. it's not a simple fall, but you're not going to man up and tell me why it happened. >> the man sprayed blood all over the place. >> that's not the truth at all and we both know it. so -- i'll -- i'll make different housing arrangements for you if you don't want to actually tell me what was going on. he's maintaining the story that nothing happened, that he didn't do anything. the guy fell. so at this point, you know, we'll go in and look at the cell

and see what it looks like. >> while violence between cell mates is always a possibility in prison, for phillip stroud and curtis, living together has had the opposite effect. >> is that that diabetic peanut butter? >> it has no taste to it. >> put the cookie on the peanut butter. that sound like a snack, don't it? >> i can't have anymore snacks. i have to get rid of this stomach. >> dear heavenly father, we thank you for this meal. >> old curt. curt is a good brother, man. he's a gentle giant. he brought a lot of balance into my life. we have been cellies for almost two years. >> stroud never imagined he'd have a cell mate. he used to be housed on indiana's death row living alone in a cell awaiting execution. >> i'm in prison for three counts of murder, three counts

of robbery, and two counts of dealing in cocaine. i spent three years on death row. >> went on a robbery, a half a million dollar score. it was a residence, a safe. three people, three innocent people, end up losing their life when they didn't have to. they didn't deserve to. >> stroud's victims were contractors working at the home stroud and his accomplices robbed. stroud ordered the men tied up and then shot each in the head with a pistol. >> when i first walked on death row, the thing that hit me first was the silence.

the absolute silence. walking on there was like the type of silence that takes you in, the type of silence that's listening to you, watching your every move to see how you're going to respond to it. i came on the unit 23 years old, trying to project courage, confidence and strength but on the inside, i was upset. i was confused and i was afraid. the thing i remember the most was the cold concrete floor underneath my bare feet. and it just sitting on the edge of that bunk, man, and i just broke down and started crying and crying for all the people that i hurt, crying for justice, crying for my mother. you know what i mean? and during these three years, seven men, you know, were executed. they lost their lives.

>> a change in indiana's capital punishment laws saved stroud from joining them. his sentence was commuted to three life terms without the possibility of parole. but stroud's salvation did not immediately make him a better inmate. >> i was the thug of them all. like paul said, i was a chief among all sinners. i was the bullies' bully. i could make things move how i want to make them move. you know what i mean? that was just a gift that i had. >> that all changed when he found himself sharing a cell with mcgrown who is serving 40 years for armed robbery and criminal confinement. >> when i first came over from the in-house, he was real rough around the edges, but me being a mellow type guy, you know, i'm a low key guy. god came through me to help

straighten him out a little bit. >> starting to thin out on the top. >> that's my sunroof. >> your convertible. >> bald head brothers is in. women like bald headed dudes. >> he's changed a whole lot. i'm proud that god used me to work with him after his reputation around the prison and on the street. i'm just thankful that i can be used and i've got a brother like this that has brought so much balance to my life. >> just as he credits mcgrown with helping him become a better man, stroud says he's determined to pay it forward. he spends his free time tutoring other inmates, who are trying to earn their g.e.d. >> what is the answer? >> the front. >> no. the opposite of left is --? >> i'm tripping. >> don't get [ indiscernible ] now. >> we just here trying to offer critical thinking skills, conflict resolution, ways to settle disputes without using violence. just use the platform and the

and i attacked her and i sexually assaulted her and i killed her. and i robbed her. then i left. the poor woman didn't stand a chance. >> prosecutors determined that trowbridge not only strangled his victim but sexually assaulted her after her death. he was sentenced to 77 years for robbery, murder and abuse of a corpse. he has already served 15 and with good behavior could be out of prison by age 50. he lives in wabash's protective custody unit which houses inmates whose lives could be at risk in general population due to the nature of their crimes. his cell mate shares the same

unusual pairing of convictions, murder and abuse of a corpse. he is serving 68 years. the victim was his ex-girlfriend, heather norris. >> it was a toxic relationship. it was love hate and i still very much love her. >> throughout the couple's three-year relationship, heather told her family that bean was physically abusive and even though he faced a trial on domestic abuse charges at the time of heather's murder, he says he wasn't abusive. >> the whole thing is predicated on a lie. and the lie is that we had a violent relationship. i'm not saying i'm without fault. but as far as what happened with her death, worst case voluntary

manslaughter and best case self-defense. >> bean insists that they had an argument and heather came at him with a knife. >> i pried the knife out of her hand and even still after i had the knife, she continued to come for it. and that kind of caught me off guard. and in the heat of the moment, i reacted. i stabbed her in the side right here. >> but according to court records, bean had confessed to a friend that he stabbed heather several times and slit her throat. no one knows for sure because her body was never recovered. >> i decided to try to do something with the body. i thought, well, cremation. but at the time i didn't know the specifics behind it. so i made an attempt to burn her body. a botched attempt.

>> i'm going to step over here so you can see. >> to young person or anybody who think that coming to prison is cool or whatever, come here. that's what i got to look at for the rest of my life. those wires. that might be the closest that i ever get to freedom. it's close, but it's far away. that's what lockup is. that is what my extended stay is like. that's for real. that's real life. it's not high like in the movies. it ain't none of that, man. this is my bed. when i look out the window, that's what i see. >> dustin trowbridge keeps a unique record of the many cells he's opccupied over the last 15 years. >> i wrote down where i was every birthday since i been here. 15th was in the drunk tank in the county jail.

16th was in the cell right above me. 17th was over here on the right side. 18th was on the right side. >> trowbridge has decided to write a letter to the elderly woman he robbed, murdered and sexually assaulted. >> i could never ask you to forgive me for the horrible things that i did to you. i am sorry i stole your sense of security when i snuck in your home and stole your sense of accomplishments and endeavors. i'm sorry i stole you from your loved ones when i very cowardly took the life that god gave you. there is no words that can ever suppress how sorry i am. to those who knew and loved [ bleep ] i'm sorry and will not

ask for forgiveness either. every day for over half my life not a moment has gone by when i didn't hang my head in guilt and shame. that's it. >> why did you feel the need to write that? >> well, i think it was -- this was as much for myself as it was for anybody else's sake. i -- this is probably going to sound kind of silly, but i really didn't -- couldn't comprehend death until someone i knew -- until i had experienced that loss, and it kind of put things into a completely different perspective when my

grandma died. >> trowbridge's cell mate also wrote a leather to his victim, heather, his former girlfriend who he stabbed to death. >> i cannot push these emotions to the darkest place in my mind anymore. i suppressed so much. your parents think i abused and beat you on multiple occasions and your friends think i controlled and forced you to believe with me. i never wanted anything over than your love, babe. i never would have hurt you. yet you are dead and i might as well be. >> but debby norris, heather's mother, says bean is a liar. >> i know that heather was beaten by him at least four times, four times that were pretty bad. one time she ended up going to the hospital after a beating. two of those beatings she

pressed charges and he was arrested on one charge and the other charge was pending when he killed her. >> debby norris did not allow her daughter to die in vain. after heather's death, she led the effort that resulted in the passing of heather's law, which made domestic violence education a requirement in indiana high schools. >> i'm trying to educate the young people on what a healthy relationship is and the signs they need to look for and what to do and that there are people out there that care and there are resources for them to turn to. when you're in abusive relationship and you decide to go back, you're going to hear the words, i'm sorry, i've changed, i'll never do it again, i love you. and you want to believe it, so

you end up going back, and i believe that's what heather did. >> i mean she loved me. i know she did. when she -- when she was -- after she got off me, i had stabbed her right here, she lay down. i held her in my arms and before she died she said, i love you, and those were her last words. >> during his sentencing one of the things that he did say was heather's last words were that, i love you, josh. i will never believe that. i have nightmares that heather's last moments was calling out for me to help her because she had done that so many times before. i don't see where this would have been any different. >> one fact that is indisputable is that bean attempted to get

away with murdering heather by dismembering her body with a chain saw and placing the parts in trash dumpsters throughout indianapolis. heather's body was never recovered. >> i go by a dumpster and i wonder if that's one of my daughter's last resting places. i see black trash bags and it makes me sick. i hear a chain saw and i have to get away. so much is different, obviously. he took heather's life. but he took mine. he took her dad's. he took her family's. he took her friends'. nobody is the same. nobody has ever stopped missing heather.

due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. am i evil? yes, i am. >> one inmate walks a fine line between heaven and hell. after a decade in confinement -- >> it just strips the humanity away from you. >> one of indiana's most infamous inmates moves to general population. >> i couldn't believe it with his reputation that he has.
