In 1987, he was transferred 250 miles away to Sullivan, where he remains today, and soon met another inmate who introduced him to the religion. In the 1993 interview with Inside Edition, Berkowitz recalled picking up a Bible for the first time.
'The words began to seem very real as if God were talking to me,' he said."
