>> stokes can pursue his hollywood dream in the very near future. his release date is only three days away. there was a time when stephen carlstrom could almost taste freedom as well. four years ago his release was also near. >> i was getting out in two months. i was free to go home and live my life with my son, and it didn't turn out that way. >> like stokes, he was serving a short term for meth possession, but now he's facing a new charge. murder. he's pled not guilty. but carlstrom is one of nine inmates charged with the murder of john chamberlain, an orange county inmate targeted by other inmates who believed he was a child molester. >> i was just playing dominos in the day room when this happened, but i've got a lot of people pointing the finger at me.
