BBC: El Salvador's reformed killers
Turning to God
Aside from a toothbrush and toothpaste, the only possession which he was allowed in the cell was a religious book.
His mother, whose name is tattooed on his neck, sent him the Bible.
"I was reading it at that time, when I felt real bad - real humble."
"I read it four or five times right the way through. It was like God was telling me - the way you are outside, that's the way your heart is."
"You need me to help change you. So I said, if you help me, then I will change."
