as ray slagle's daughter arrives at limon for a visit with her dad. >> that's the last time i seen her face to face. >>> roy slagle earned a reputation for his numerous cell extractions at colorado state penitentiary. now, after two recent cell extractions of his own, jonathan hall has just gotten word he will be transferred there as well. it's the most secure state prison in colorado. a place where all the inmates are locked up in their cells 23 hours per day. >> i'm just trying to stay mentally prepared to sit back and be locked down for the next two, three years. >> several days after a visit with his family, hall has received a letter from his mother. small comfort for what lies ahead. >> jonathan, you're not a bad person. >> while hall faces many more years in prison, ray slagle only has eight weeks left until his release. but first, he has a long, overdue visit. >> i haven't seen my daughter in so long. you know what i mean. i'm already just -- i didn't even hardly sleep last night. it's going to be an emotional trip, i already know. i paid a guy to iron my stuff, shine my boots.

roy and ray slagle, twin brothers with seemingly boundless energy were two of the most memorable inmates ever to appear on "lockup." our first slagle encounter was in 2000 when we met roy at colorado state penitentiary, and he made a big impression. at the time, roy was serving a 12-year sentence for robbery and had a notorious reputation for forcing the prison to perform cell extractions on him because of his frequent refusals to obey orders. nine years later, during our shoot at the lyman correctional facility in eastern colorado, we met an inmate named ray slagle who wasted no time reminding us of our sibling. >> come here, look at this. this is my twin brother right here. you already did a clip on him on msnbc. he was wild as hell. but by then, roy was anything but wild. and, in fact, had recently been released on parole. so we visited him at his parents' home where he had been living. >> yeah, i believe i'm going to make it, no doubt. >> roy is optimistic about his future, and so were we. back at lyman, his brother ray was serving a 15-year sentence for assault but was only days awa

>> roy slagle was paroled in the fall of 2008. but his twin brother, ray, is incarcerated here at limon, serving 15 years for assault. >> how is your brother, where is he at now? >> he's at home. >> is he at home? when did he get out? >> about two months ago. >> he would act out, though. he would get up to that point where he would act out. and once he calmed back down, he was reasonable. but he would get worked up. >> point of no return. >> several years prior to becoming the warden at limon, travis tranney was a lieutenant at colorado state. and had been involved in several of roy's cell extractions. >> the last four cell extractions that was ever done with him when he got sprayed, i was the one that sprayed. that was the last straw. he said he didn't want to play anymore. >> if you don't cuff up we're going to administer oc. >> he said it was due to the chemical, the oc that we introduced. he said it wasn't fun anymore because he, if my opinion, he got a thrill with fighting from the staff when we would go into the cell and wrestle him had to the ground

. >> at limon, ray slagle is king of the hustle. >> this is stuff that i want. [ bleep ] stuff that i want is different from any [ bleep ] that i need. you know, the money that my people send me, i use that on stuff i need and phone calls. the stuff that i want i hustle. you know, and that's where these come in. tokens. >> tokens are purchased from the canteen, a place where inmates can buy snacks and toiletries with money they earn from their jobs or that family and friends deposit into personal debit accounts managed by the prison. >> every thursday whenever they get canteen, they can get up to 40 at the time. legally, the only things that we have for these is the soda machines and the ice cream machines. they're worth 45 cents. some of the name brand sodas is two tokens and the off-brand soda is 45 cents, one token. >> illegally they pay off each other. gambling debts they incur. football, cards, whatever debt they have incurred. you can buy drugs with these. there are so many things these can be used for illegally. >> i love tokens. you know what i mean? yeah. what's going on? i'm

ray are very close. so we decided we would go out and visit with roy and talk to him about his brother and about how it is being out of prison. >> roy slaglerved his time at a different prison than ray, had been out for four months at the time of our visit. but after nearly 20 years of incarceration, much of it in solitary confinement, he was still struggling with the transition to the free world. >> you go from a pecking order type mentality into an economic society, and it's tough, it really is, because everybody is wearing the same clothes, everything's uniform. it don't matter about what type of car you drive, what type of house you live in, how much money you got. that's kind of irrelevant in prison because it's a pecking order society. it's the strong, you know, and that's how you survive. >> before i met him, all i had was this image of this gruff, ripped guy who could take on the whole team of officers, and upon meeting him, i just was shocked to find out that he's actually kind of a calm and collected guy who is not this monster that you see on these cell extraction videos. >> i didn't even know how to turn the computer on until r

twin brothers, roy and ray slagle. >> i love it.'m so happy. >> ronnie tye and the woman he married in prison, jodie mormon. finally the answers you've been waiting for.

. >> in 1977 ray plotted another escape with james slagle and two other inmates.mb the outer wall using a makeshift ladder crafted from chains. the inmates knew the tower guard closest to the wall took an afternoon nap. but slagle feared ray's high profile would lead them to the being captured soon after the escape. >> i said, james, you've got no pickup, no car. as soon as your foot touches down, they know it's you, there will be a million cops in this valley and there's no way you'll get away. it's a futile effort and i don't believe in wasting my energy, so i just sat and watched it happen. that's the corner where james and spider monkey went over. the fence was not here at this time. it was a mountain serving as the fourth wall of the penitentiary. james went over, the number one man. doug went over. spider monkey climbed it. he was supposed to pull the chain ladder up. but when he jerked, he fell backwards and fell off the wall. the ladder fell back down. there at the horseshoe pit, doug taylor was pitching horseshoes. he's watching these guys go over. no one
