00:00:00
[Music] [Applause] [Music] My name is Bruce Barerisford Redmond. I am in a Mexican prison where I have
00:00:19
been on trial now for more than 2 years and 9 months. I am accused of the murder
00:00:24
of my wife, Monica, for a crime that I did not commit. Not a day goes by that I don't think
00:00:31
about her and miss her. Justice for Monica. Justice for Monica. I wish I could believe that it
00:00:40
didn't have anything to do with my sister's murder. It's for the love that we have for her and all the memories
00:00:46
that we have about her that we are here today demanding justice. What you will see tonight is a glimpse
00:00:54
into uh Mexican prison. We first told you the story of Bruce Barersford Redmond in 2012. His wife was murdered
00:01:03
at a Cancun hotel where the family was vacationing. Bruce returned to the United States to take care of his
00:01:08
children. But when Mexico charged him with his wife's murder, he was extravaged here to stand trial. Today,
00:01:14
nearly 3 years later, he is still on trial. Tonight, we will show you an exclusive sitdown interview and an
00:01:21
extraordinary video diary taken inside these walls. I agreed to do these video diaries to
00:01:31
give a sense of what life is like here in hell. Making these videos has really made me much more visible here, which is
00:01:40
really not a great thing for me. My existence in here has become a very basic struggle to simply survive.
00:01:49
For many years, I worked in reality TV. And the reality of reality television, even at its best, it's a world that that
00:01:57
is created. Being in here is real. It is real. And it really sucks. It's noisy and it's smelly and it's sweaty and hot
00:02:09
and cramped. It's extremely uncomfortable. This is not a an easy place to be. I really don't have any any
00:02:18
what you could call real friends here. And it's impossible for me to really have anybody in here that I could trust.
00:02:25
In the middle of the night when the prisoner is asleep, I lay awake and I miss Monica. Come here, Michael. Walk. I
00:02:36
don't think that I could possibly convey what it feels like to have not seen my children, not held my children for
00:02:43
nearly 3 years now. Wow. Yay. Hey, everything that I worked my life to build is gone. If I am convicted, I am
00:02:51
facing a sentence of 30 years. There is a very large riot going on right now. Been tear gas a couple times.
00:03:00
This is what it looks like to get teargassed. Um, this is what happens to your face.
00:03:06
Fires everywhere. There's guys on the roof throwing concrete blocks down. It's chaos. It's really, really chaos. All
00:03:15
right, I got to go.
