And few extractions in the state of colorado have provided more drama than the ones involving this man, roy slagle. we first met roy in the original "lockup" episode at colorado state penitentiary in 2000. at the time he had been through five gruelling cell extractions. >> i got some criminal tendencies, okay? you know what i mean. i robbed, i assaulted a guy in here. it aint like im in here for nothing, you know? >> roy slagle was paroled in the fall of 2008. but his twin brother, ray, is incar...

Issues and thats definitely a major bump in the road for me. dealing with my p.o. or people in the parole department. its just hard for me to do it, it just really is. its hard. not that i dont want to be free. i want to be free. i dont want to go back to prison. but sometimes i have this impending doom on my back. >> sometimes prison ruins people, man. you know what i mean. it does. after that much time, and i understand that, so be it. but prison didnt ruin me. honestly. im not ruined at all. ...
