>> it took a while to get me a job. it took about six months. i had to go around and really, really convince certain staff that, you know, that i want to do right. >> eventually taylor got a job in the clothing room where he has worked for the past two years. he also found a new lease on life as a mentor to many of the younger inmates at anamosa. >> are they two different? >> this one is about all the poisonous animals. >> sean gathercole is taylor's cellmate. he's serving 25 years for first-degree theft and assault. >> we became cellies about a month and a half ago. it was really inspirational to know even though with the hard times he's gone through, he still has that power in him to help other people and not just turn their backs on them like everybody else does. there's still times i get scared like when trouble comes up.
