“I don't think prisoners care as much as we think they do. My son's killer got beat up with some regularity, from what i understand, but also secured some kind of protection... “
Male prisoners for the most part couldn’t care less about other male killers but there’s something very important you’ve omitted from your response. For all their crimes, inmates do have their own sort of moral compass that regards some criminals as lesser than others — a hierarchy so well established that prison systems are designed to prevent so-called jailhouse justice. Protection units are precisely designed to prevent attacks on the most hated of inmates.
Prisoners who have murdered or sexually abused children are considered the lowest of the low and they’re isolated for their own safety. Anyone who has ever laid a hand on a child has to watch his back. CW wouldn’t last 5 minutes if he was with the general prison population.
