In 1993, Jeffrey Dahmer was 33 years old, serving 999 years inside a maximum security prison in Wisconsin. Three guards escorted him everywhere. One on each arm. Handcuffs on at all times. The most dangerous human being in America, kept alive only so he could rot in a cell. This interview was never meant to be seen. It sat in the Inside Edition archives for 30 years. In the video below, a monster wearing a human face sits across from journalist Nancy Glass and answers the one question nobody expected him to answer honestly. Are the urges still there? He paused. Then said he wished he could tell her they were gone. But no. Even locked inside concrete and steel, serving nearly a thousand years, the compulsions that turned him into a predator were still hunting inside his head. He didn't kill out of rage. Not out of hatred. He said he killed 17 men because he wanted to keep them. That the obsession grew until skulls and skeletons weren't enough. Then came cannibalism. Spoken the same way a normal man would describe a habit he couldn't shake. He asked for several breaks during filming. His hands wouldn't stay still the entire time. Fourteen months after this interview, another inmate killed him in prison. When asked what he deserved, Dahmer didn't hesitate for a second. "I deserve death," he said. Some people are beyond saving. Some things wear a human face and never were one. Was there ever a version of this story that ended differently?
