slagle?response. >> in one of his more memorable acts of defiance, slagle served as a ring leader when he and seven other inmates covered up their cell windows, a major infraction of prison security rules. >> we'll have to come in and get you. is that what you want? no response. >> this is captain cruz. >> you know the routine. i been through it before. ain't nothing else to say. >> this is captain cruz. i'm shift commander tonight on swing shift i'm going to ask you to uncover your window. >> no. >> are you refusing? >> yes. >> do you understand that i'll send a team in to bring you out of your cell? >> yes. >> okay. >> unable to get slagle and others to uncover their windows, captain cruz summons the emergency response team. >> they're not going to come out, so we're going to get them one at a time. the first one is going because we identified him in numerous cell extractions. he will fight us. he will try to get out of his cell. >> determined to make a stand, slagle mounts a defense with t

even deep fried chicken tacos, dudes yelling, slagle, me, too, hey what about those? i'd be going to the door sliding them underneath the door. they'd be throwing me their tokens. it was cool. >> his openness about his various hustles made him an intriguing character for us to follow, but we would soon discover another fact about ray that made his story even more interesting. he had a twin brother named roy who had not only been in prison, but had appeared on "lockup" years earlier. >> roy slagle is one of the more well-known characters from "lockup." best known for the amount of cell extractions he's had in prison, and these are very dramatic cell extractions. so much so that they're in the opening title sequence of "lockup." we found out that roy had been released from prison and he was only a couple hours away living with his parents, and roy and 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, who had served his time at a different prison than ray, had been out f

. >> in 1977 ray plotted another escape with james slagle and two other inmates. the plan was to climb 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 escapees. >> i said, james, you have 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. 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 was pitching horseshoes. he sees it. no one is getting shot. no one seems to care. i'm serious, he just wen

i told some of the fellows, so what, you will get to see slagle crying, what gives a [ bleep ]. you doing? how are you doing, rave? how are you doing? >> all right. >> you're so beautiful. >> thank you. >> when i met ray's daughter, raven, i heard she was 16, and i was blown away because off the bat you would think this person is at least 21, 22 years old. she looked older, but she also carried herself in a fashion that most 16-year-olds wouldn't. >> you're a grandpa. >> i know, i know. i wanted to see emily, too. >> that's your incentive. you can see her when you get out. >> oh, man. >> during their conversation she was talking about her father getting out and the time that he would spend with his granddaughter and she came off very motherly. >> i wouldn't change anything because it made me who i am today, and i wouldn't change it. >> you're not mad at me? >> i'm mad, i am, but it's done with. i can't hold resentment. like, i don't know. >> really? man. >> with our time at limon nearing its end and slagle's release date growing nearer, we anticipated following him home for a re

. >> 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. in the vestibules. 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've occurred. 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. wha

. >> james slagle, brushy mountain's longest-serving inmate, told us how ray led inmates over a wall a makeshift ladder crafted from chains. they made their escape while a tower officer took an afternoon nap. that's your corner where james and doug and spider monkey and the others went over. of course the fence was not here at that time, it was just a mountain serving as the fourth wall of the penitentiary. >> after ray climbed over, six more inmates followed before an officer and another tower finally saw them, and shot, striking the last escapee in the shoulder. [ gunfire ] >> the way it used to work here, when you hear the whistle blow you get a shotgun and your dog and you go to the woods, because inmates back then, there was a $25 bounty on the inmates. james earl ray, he was in the woods for three or four days, and they did use the dogs. that's basically the only way you would find them in these mountains with one of these dogs, you know, because it's so thick and everything. there's nowhere to go. >> ray was captured 52 hours later, less than two miles from the prison. since t
