She sure is not your normal sociopath. But DOC personnel that have been in the business for as long as some of the officials at PV are ready for these types. While each psychopath has their own modus operandi based on what has been proven to work in the past, prison officials are not usually surprised by any of it. They will know what to anticipate with this particular sociopath because Sheriff Joe has surely told them. And they have seen it all before, some even worse than this particular sociopath. I think it behooves them to be on their toes, to know what to expect but to also expect the unexpected. I just think that citizens writing letters that state the obvious are a waste of everyone's time.
If I were a prison official who received a letter like that I would take it personally that citizens thought I was naive enough to not already be familiar with Killer Arias's antics, shenanigans, and manipulative skills. I doubt a warden in a prison like Perryville is without training and that training would stress how to deal with an incarcerated sociopath, even one the likes of Killer Arias.
Actually, the convict is a pretty run of the mill sociopath, nothing that special. Think of the types of people that the prison personnel have to deal with; the most horrific depraved animals that for us, only exist in the worst nightmare. This convict is just one more in the bunch. However, I do believe there are weak links in this prison system, just as in all government systems, and most businesses. They love to talk a big, tough, super-secure game, but in reality, so much of what they proclaim borders on a sham. How many times has a business proclaimed--your info is safe with us, we employ top level security; well, yeah, it's safe until it isn't --then they cry that some "highly sophisticated attack" got through their defenses. Right. How many times has fraud, corruption and crime been exposed in all types of government agencies, offices, and military and when uncovered, they cry, well, we don't have enough money to enforce the security procedures. Things slipped through the "cracks." Look at the VA, for goodness sake. How many times have we heard of the rampant amount of drugs, cell phones, and contraband inside the prisons? Do a search (

So all it takes is for this convict to get a minion to take some of that "appellant fund" cash and pay off unscrupulous prison guards, and wham! - this convict has a cell phone, Hershey bars, whatever. Nothing to do with being a "special" hotshot sociopath -- it has all to do with money, and a slipshod system. Not saying anything against Perryville -- I think it is the way everything is in our society today, or, almost everything. Ethics are very hard to come by.
