space or we were trying to juggle our inmate population to put him in a position. so what we did with him is we told him, you know, don't talk about your charges, don't talk about the crimes that you may have done or committed, you know, try and fit in, be nondescript. >> petrovich claims it wasn't the inmates who initially targeted chamberlain but two deputies who are no longer with the department. >> the cops had pulled me out and told me. they said hit him from the neck down and, you know, make sure he doesn't walk out. they didn't say kill him. i never said kill him. no one said kill him. they said go beat him up because he was a pervert. >> a later investigation was unable to confirm that the deputies told the inmates about chamberlain's charges. >> but what came out of the investigation was the realization that this information was readily available, and they use that information to find a time and opportunity to attack inmate chamberlain and ultimately beat him to death in a very severe manner.
