Jeffrey Dahmer: The Monster Within
Should have been a 2 hour Biography!
This is a fairly good biography of Jeffrey Dahmer but it crams so much information into a short 50 minutes that it would have been much better if it had been a 2 hour program. Being an episode of Biography the show focuses more on Dahmer when he was growing up and doesn't give much detail about his crimes and seems to just breeze over them near the end. It does contain clips of Dahmer in court, interviews with Lionel Dahmer, former classmates and a very brief clip of Dahmer standing in another courtroom that i've never seen before. If you want to see a more detailed account about the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer you should watch the other A&E program "American Justice: The Mystery of the Serial Killer", which still airs on A&E every now and then.

The four-part series includes never-before-released audio recordings of Dahmer, including phone conversations he had with his father, Lionel, while in prison.

I felt I was gonna continue doing that for the rest of my life.”
Who Was Jeffrey Dahmer?
Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer who took the lives of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Over the course of more than 13 years, Dahmer sought out his victims, mostly Black men, at gay bars, malls, and bus stops, lured them home with promises of money or sex, and gave them alcohol laced with drugs before strangling them to death. He would then engage in sex acts with the corpses before dismembering them and disposing of them, often keeping body parts as souvenirs. He frequently took photos of his victims at various stages of the murder process, so he could recollect each act afterward and relive the experience. Dahmer was captured in 1991 and sentenced to 16 life terms. He was killed by fellow prison inmate Christopher Scarver in 1994.
