them. and their murders took on dimensions not only shocking, but they were unimaginable. >> frank street, jr. i'm 38 years old. i've been down since 1993 for shooting my mom. >> during the first day of shooting at wabash, our crew meant frank street, an inmate housed in the residential treatment unit. at the time of the interview, street was involuntary tremors due to his medication. >> i had delusions people were out there hurting me, and i had a video consent tape showing people hurting me, and i showed it to my parents, no, nothing to that. i thought, well, you are crazy, i don't know what you were talking about. they were sane, i was the crazy one. a short time later, street's delusions got the better of him. >> i loaded up my dad's gun, thought they were coming after me, and my mom said, what are

you doing? my mom reached out for the gun, and freaking me out, and i shot her in the head. >> even more shocking and disturbing than frank street shooting his mother in the head is what he did after he killed her, and what you're about to hear is extremely graphic. >> i've become delusional, i say insane, and i just said, you got to eat some of her brains for her to be a part of you. >> street was diagnosed as having advanced schizophrenia, and at the time of the interview regularly received medication and counselling in the residential treatment unit. >> i should have been in the mental hospital, but it's been 13 years, been to psychiatrists, and learned to deal with it. i feel i've done the time. especially -- i was not a sane person who did that back then. you don't eat brains from somebody's body if you're sane.

>> many of the murderers interviewed show little to no remorse by his crimes, and street is tormented by his. >> it's horrible. i -- i've come to terms with myself that i'm sure someday i'm going to kill myself. i've decided to do that. that way i can go be with my mom. >> you know, i'm not as bad as i used to be. i'm not acting crazy. i'm not really crazy anymore, you know. got some new socks. and that's what everybody's socks looking like -- like that. yeah, that's all i have to say.

and i thought he was attacking me so i stabbed him in the back, he took three steps, i tackled him, slit his throughout, and he said, please, don't kill me. that's what i realized, oh, my god, what am i doing. >> the producer described the interview as exhausting as he took the conversation on bizarre tangents. >> never a second, whatever the latest measurement of time is. repressed freudian alien that snowballed emotionally repressed through drugs and alcohol. and it was witnessed by 10,000 people in a concert at detroit plaza. >> it was moments before he was brought back to the details of the crime. he told us it was shocking and disturbing. >> i pulled his brain out, and i took a bite out of it. >> like frank street, garner was

housed in the residential treatment unit, but it was clear not only does he still struggle with what he did, but he worries about what he still might do. >> it's heinous. i believe in an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. i believe they should take my life. there were circumstances mitigating and aggravating that my judge was pointing out, i think that having crossed that line, it would therefore be that much easier to go back across. there's less inhibition to take another life now, especially even my own. i've threatened that several times. next, a self-proclaimed white supremist inmate provides the most shocking epilogue in the history of "lockup."

>> [ bleep ] >> calm down. >> of all the memorable inmates interviewed on "lockup," one makes such a visually shocking impression that he stands alone in the history of the series. >> when you look at curtis, with the tattoos all over his face, he's really physically intimidating. >> i'm here for a burglary, forgery and escape. one to 15 expirate in 2016. >> when we first met curtis allgier at utah's maximum state security unit it didn't take long for tattoos to become the focus of the interview. >> tell me about your tattoos, what some of them mean. when you got them. >> i've been getting tattoos since i was 13 years old. my whole family tattoos. that's what i do on the streets. i'm a tattoo artist. certain ones have meanings. i got my wife's name across my

forehead. just, that's how much i love my lady. and other ones are my political beliefs. >> his political beliefs have to do with his near lifelong affiliation with the skinheads. >> my whole family is skinheads, operated that way. born and raised, my dad, uncles, all my cousins. all my family. being a skinhead is a way of life. it's preserving your race. it's being proud of who you are and wanting to better that. a swastika is a very proud symbol. i wear it as a symbolism of pride of who i am. i have a lot of them. >> allgier gave a more detailed account of his tattoos in this previously unaired footage. >> it's a toss-up between the toes, behind the leg, and the lip. the lip you got nerves, and your toes all your nerve endings. i was thinking that won't hurt that bad. don't look at me as my tattoos and be like oh, my god that

guy's a white supremacist or -- i'm proud of who i am. and i'm proud to have my family be who we are. but i'm not a bad person because i got tattoos. being a white supremacist is not a bad thing. >> and according to allgier, being a white supremacist doesn't mean he belongs to one of utah state's white supremacist prison gangs. >> you got fourth reich, those dudes are aren't white supremacist. they were started by people who were rats, and pc cases. >> interesting thing about curtis was he claims he's not in a gang. he's not a gang member. he's just a white supremacist, a skinhead. and he felt there was a really, really severe difference. >> i'm no part of them. i've never been a part of them. nor will i ever be a part of them. those dudes in my mind are weak, and they're not white supremacist, more will they ever

be. >> at that point one of the officers leaned in to my ear and said if you use that, he's going to get attacked. he's going to get stabbed. >> while inmates like allgier are completely aware that talking about gangs could put them in peril it is a risk they have taken time and time again when interviewed on "lockup." >> we knew that theoretically that sound bite might put him in danger but we also knew on the other hand how important it was to curtis that that distinction be made. and that's the choice that we went with. >> two years after this interview, however, curtis allgier would make the worst decision of his life. one that virtually guarantees he will die in prison. >> the suspect was able to get the guard's weapon away from him and at least one shot was fired. >> on june 25th, 2007, during a visit to an area hospital, allgier allegedly disarmed, shot and killed the correctional

officer escorting him. >> curtis had called me and told me that he had killed a cop, that he had escaped. i asked him what had happened. he told me that he was sorry that he loved me, and that -- that was it, i'm sorry. i love you. >> after fleeing the hospital he was taken back into custody 45 minutes later at a fast food restaurant. >> i remember thinking, curtis was in for burglary. forgery. escape. he was going to do less than 15 years. curtis was going home. and now he is never going to go home. >> it's not cool to be here. and living this lifestyle. you screw up your life. i can't tell people don't do it because i've done it but i can tell them this isn't the way to go. you're not going to gain from coming here. you lose everything.
