In the earlier part of his "prison career," Ted always was allowed to roam free of handcuffs. Men envied his looks, and the girlies wanted to follow his case because he was handsome. It's like he cast a spell over everyone, hence the vampire thing.
IT'S AS IF TED IS A VAMPIRE! Gosh, Ted sure is handsome. I wish I looked like him. Ted's one cool cat! I'm not bothering him with cuffs; LOOK INTO MY EYESSSS...
*HISS*
