for most inmates, jail has a way of crimping their personal lives. for the seven months he's been at the boston suffolk county jail, 25-year-old robert sutton has only spoken to his girlfriend on the phone, but he's determined to take the relationship to the next level. >> listen, listen. i need close-up. will you marry me, baby girl? i'm serious. give me one of them little rice and bean babies. emily, i love you, baby. >> with the crime sutton has been accused of, it may be a long time before he can start a family. he's been charged with distribution of cocaine for allegedly selling 150 grams to a confidential informant.

2:17 am
t-shirt. that has to be me? >> sutton says after the shots ended, he realized emily was lying on the bridge. she said something is wrong with my chest. i ripped her shirt open and there was three holes in her chest. >> while emily was recovering in the hospital, authorities arrested sutton and charged him with shooting his rival. he wasn't charged for emily's shooting because she backed up his story. >> sometimes i be thinking this ain't even real. like aim really still here? i haven't spent no time with her since she got shot. i haven't touched her, you know what i mean? for all i know, this could be a figment of my imagination. she really could be dead. >> when it comes to the death of a loved one, krystal o'reilly is clear about reality, especially during this time of year. as she awaits trial for two bank robberies she allegedly committed to support a drug habit, she thinks about her two
2:18 am
sons. 2-year-old maddocks is being raised by her mother. her first son cameron was born with significant birth defects and died soon after. then her fiancee died shortly afterwards from a drug overdose. >> i lost two of the most important people in my life in less than a year's time. at that point, nothing mattered, absolutely nothing. it didn't matter that i was pregnant, didn't matter my family was so scared because they knew how i felt. nothing mattered. i just used. three years later, i still haven't forgiven myself. i don't know. usually i don't even cry when i talk about it. this is the first time i've actually had to, like, deal with it, without getting high because i've been using ever since. like my sally says to me all the time, feel, deal and heal. i haven't felt, i haven't dealt and damn sure haven't healed. >> as the anniversaries of both
2:19 am
deaths draw closer, o'reilly has asked to see one of the chaplain's, sister o'neill. >> she's going through a bad time with this particular time of year for her. >> kind of rough. >> what's been happening? >> this week is my son's anniversary, three years. sunday will be three years. the exact anniversary. >> this sunday? >> yeah. >> i see you're carrying a picture. >> that's maddox. >> oh, look, he's sleepy. >> he falls asleep in the weirdest places. it's the small things that keep connected with him. >> that's wonderful. you've got so much to live for, lady. >> i know. >> you're doing well. >> he's what keeps me going. >> i'm just so glad that you're looking at your life the way you are looking at it. i pray that you have hope because that's such a big thing
2:20 am
in life. making changes isn't easy, but it's so worth it. >> oh, absolutely. >> you deserve it; and you can really sort of go forward, not only forward in faith, but forward knowing you can make it because being in here is no place to be. shall we pray before you go? >> okay. >> lord, this is your child. this is krystal and you love her, and we want to pray for her and send her forward in faith. >> i feel it went very well. it was a good call to have her down because she certainly is just going through some pretty deep sorrow. >> give us patience, understanding and love, amen. god bless you. keep you safe. i'm here if you need me. >> thank you. >> god bless.
2:21 am
>> you, too. >> the way that i look at it to keep my sanity is that, like, i'm given the time to change me, you know, to change the person that i brought in here. i've taken it as, like, a chance to start all over. >> coming up -- >> they've told my daughter that i'm in school. however, now she's scared to get on the school bus because her mother doesn't come home from school. >> melanie reddy deals with some very hard truths. >> i'm not going to get clean. i'm going to go get high. oh, yeah. v8 juice gives you 3 of your 5 daily servings of vegetables. v8. what's your number?
2:22 am
2:23 am

2:25 am
what was it? [ laughter ]. >> but their time together might almost be up. in a few days, reddy is due in court to face a charge of prostitution that she hopes will be dismissed. if so, she'll be released from the courthouse directly back onto the streets and back to the problems presented by her longstanding drug addiction. >> do you want to get clean? >> sometimes. right now, no. i've had years clean and been a mother and woken up every day to my kid and taken her to the doctors and my mother's for sunday dinner. i've done all that. i've had the fiancee. i've had the house. i've had all of that. i didn't keep any of it. so what it meant i don't know. the minute something went wrong, went to the only thing i know, drugs and the streets. that's it. drugs and the streets, like that never even existed.
2:26 am
>> reddy's 4 1/2-year-old daughter is now being raced by her mother and sister. ready says they still have some contact, although her daughter doesn't know she's in jail. >> they've told my daughter that i'm in school. however, now she's scared to get on the school bus because her mother doesn't come home from school. so i don't know if it's better or worse. my kid's probably the only thing that's ever mattered to me, ever. she's too good to be around me when i'm getting high. she doesn't deserve that. when i'm not doing the right thing, she has no business being around me. and i have no business being around her. it's a tough pill to swallow because no matter what, i still get high. i thought my kid would keep me clean. unfortunately she didn't. >> right now, if reddy is missing anything, it's the temptations she can find on the streets of boston. >> we got windows in our cells
2:27 am
that overlook downtown boston where i run at. people pay millions for that view. we get it for free. i don't even look out the window because it puts me right down there and right about everything that's going on, like i'm missing something. right now if i got out tonight, i know that i'm probably endtion up downtown. recovery is not an option right now. i'm not going to get clean. i'm going to go get high. there's always that story, like, you see people get clean and sober. this is the other side. this is the not-so-clean and not-so-sober side. >> coming up -- >> when you ended up on top, were you punching him. >> ja-norris hayes faces the disciplinary board. >> i got somebody that's going to do me a favor. >> robert sutton sends a singing telegram to his girlfriend, jail-style. ♪ i understand you're feeling down ♪ .
