the world of Sirhan Sirhan has grown bigger. On January 4th, without publicity, prison officials move Serhane from the specially tight security and restricted quarters of Death Row one to a new cell on Death Row three. On the second floor of the adjustment center, he joins 15

00:00:26.460 - 00:00:42.070

other condemned inmates and Unit three, where prisoners are allowed out into a small exercise yard daily. And from now on, Sirhan Sirhan could walk and talk openly with his fellow inmates. This is a major change in his three year old prison routine. Since May of 1969

00:00:42.070 - 00:00:56.910

Serhane has been confined to a screened off cell and unit one. His cell was 4 ft wide, 10 ft nine inches long, between two other empty cells protected by barriers. At either end, there was special guards and other precautions. He was not allowed to fraternize with

00:00:56.910 - 00:01:13.880

inmates. His new cell in Unit three is larger, 6 ft by 7 ft nine inches, with different corridor windows, a different prison atmosphere and a new kind of perspective. Death Row three was created for San Quentin's least troublesome condemned men. Amiable is the word prison officials

used to describe the residents of Unit three Sirhan Sirhan has been a special security problem, virtually from that June 1919 68 when Senator Kennedy was killed. His early days in San Quentin created problems. He went on a brief hunger strike, once, had to be subdued by

00:01:29.260 - 00:01:45.560

tear gas during a temper tantrum and spent time in an isolation cell. But time and the realities of prison life have changed him off. San Quentin's 100 death row inmates, only 16, have graduated to the relative freedom of Unit three. Serhane Serhane, whose Arabic name means

00:01:45.570 - 00:02:06.060

wanderer, is one of those 16 on death row. You can't do much better. He gets along very well with everybody. He's getting along fine with the people where he's living with now, these other 16 men, and his adjustment seems to be most satisfactory. Mr. And made

00:02:06.060 - 00:02:24.090

any friends. Does he have any best friends on death row? This? I wouldn't know. I don't know if he had if he has shown any particular interest in any particular person, but he I was up there the other day and he seemed to be doing very

00:02:24.090 - 00:02:41.540

well when I saw. Is he more open now? Does he talk freely with other prisoner isn't with guards or does he keep pretty much to himself? Is he kind of recluse? He's kind of a man that stays to himself quite a bit. Does he read? He

00:02:41.540 - 00:02:54.560

reads extensively. I understand. You know what? What kind of books? He reads? No, I don't know exactly. But from what I hear, he enjoys a lot of nonfiction. Frank Warren, Eyewitness News, San Quentin.
