an inmate and his child would include him. >> [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> my first impression of jonathan hall was that he was an out of control, maniacal young man. he was screaming at me through his door. he was quite verbally >> you can't buy me. [ bleep ]. get the [ bleep ] out of here. >> i started having off camera conversation was jonathan and quickly i saw a very different human being. she was trying to educate himself. he had come from a very difficult life, and he was calm and he was articulate, but the most striking thing about jonathan which shifted his personality from this very tough, hard core inmate to a far kinder and even softer person was the second he started talking about his son. >> this is me, my son, and my wife when my son was first born. i felt like my destiny was fulfilled, that that was what i was put on earth to do was to have my son. >> my daddy. my daddy. >> we were there when hall's mother, sister, wife, and 3-year-old son orion arrived for a visit. the first with orion since he was an infant. but there wouldn't be so much as a hug between them. hall's prior beh
