the third, revenge. if you cross me, i m going to give it to you. you know what i mean? because i m a good [ bleep ]. you know i m going to beat your ass. just about every inmate story we tell on lock-up revolves around the three r s respect, reputation and revenge. at indiana state prison, we met one inmate whose story revolved around his search for all three. don t know what the hell is blinking. battery must be going dead. during our shoot at indiana state prison, officials allowed us to give select inmates handheld cameras to express personal thoughts in the privacy of their cells. my name is cephis pasco. c-e-p-h-i-s p-a-s-c-o. i am a convict at the indiana
that gets you killed in here. i m a murderer. straight-up convict. the more cephis tried to convince us he was a convict, the more i wondered if there was something else going on. a few days later, pasco told us what did go on the night he committed murder. i was at a bar drinking one night. had nine shots of whiskey and several beers. and gave a ride to my sister-in-law, i think it is or something like that. nephew s ex-wife. we she lured me on to the dogtown, which is the river camps. and we started to have sex. and she backed out of it and got into an argument. and she started smacking me around and i had a hair-trigger temper back then. so, i snapped on her and went off. oh, to hell with it. i stabbed her, i broke her neck
trash. i know who he is. and i ll [ bleep ], i ll find him. i m going to have a little discussion with him. today? no. i ll find him. i ll wait until you all leave. when i find the guy, i m going to put him in the hospital. i don t kill no more. but i m damn sure going to mean it. that s all there is to it. later that night, pasco again recorded himself on the camera we left him. he indicated that he had exacted revenge. at one point, i was doing an interview. and a bunch of wannabe inmates started yelling chomo. these idiots had to be taught a lesson. they were properly disciplined in the ways of prison etiquette. we checked with the authorities to see if anybody
i assumed it had to have been a major insult. what? who called me that? you talking [ bleep ]? what are you [ bleep ], [ bleep ] say, who said chomo? chomo is prison slang for child molester. but it can also be used to define anyone who has a sexual offense. we caught up with pasco later that day. he was at the cell block microwave preparing his evening meal. call that spaghetti. i call that wet noodles. at first, pasco was reluctant to talk about the earlier confrontation in the hallway. talk out there later. oh, [ bleep ], i ll talk now. i ve been down 20 years. i m a murderer. i m a convict. nobody disrespects me like that. i got some little punk coming in. he s been in for a little time and [ bleep ] runs his little mouth, [ bleep ]. fine.
the more i wondered if there was something else going on. a few days later, pasco told us what did go on the night he committed murder. i was at a bar drinking one night. had nine shots of whiskey and several beers. and gave a ride to my sister-in-law, i think it is or something like that. nephew s ex-wife. we she lured me on to the dogtown, which is the river camps. and we started to have sex. and she backed out of it and got into an argument. and she started smacking me around and i had a hair-trigger temper back then. so, i snapped on her and went off. oh, to hell with it. i stabbed her, i broke her neck and smashed her skull in. pasco claims his rage erupted because his victim rejected him and they never did have sex.
