* Tiller wasn't affected, though, and he aged normally before Jack killed him.

[[WMG: Tommy Madsen was the reason for many parts of the series thus far]]
Beauregard and Lucy are both sympathetic to Tommy because of his treatment - Lucy wants to help, Beauregard doesn't know what the blood is all about and while he may be sadistic, he doesn't seem to actually want to hurt the prisoners. (well, there was Clarence, but he's not as manipulative as the Warden or E.B. - Beauregard still has a soul) Tommy Madsen was an accomplice to Lucy and Dr. Beauregard, probably helping them get into the time machine, but Tommy was captured before he could join them. Lucy and the Doc arrive at around 2000 or slightly earlier, they then contact Hauser. Hauser thus knows: 
1) The 63s are coming back 
2) Tommy Madsen is someone who they may be able to have an ally 
Hauser also has actual 63s to show to the FBI officials who are empowering his task force, verifiable people who made the jump, but he needs more. 
Hauser attempts to recruit Ray as a way to approach Tommy rather than as an evil cop or prison official - blood being thicker than water. Ray turns him down and raises Rebecca instead. Ray thus isn't overly surprised when Tommy shows up and actively hides him. Hauser needs Rebecca not because she's an able detective, but because she has a foothold on Tommy's psyche. 
This explains the importance of the Madsens to Hauser as well as why he would know that the 63s are returning and thus able to marshal his forces. 
As for the blood - I'd suggest that perhaps Tommy's being used simply as a universal donor supply (say type o-negative or such), they're preparing the blood with the colloidal silver to transfuse into the other prisoners for their various time jumps. (though why that needs to be done as early as three years before the mass exodus is still up in the air, perhaps they didn't all disappear in 1963, but one at a time until said mass exodus occurred.
