The kid will be killed by a fellow inmate. Massachusetts may be a liberal insane asylum but he'll be in federal prison and he will be dead within a couple of years.

You know there has to be an Irish guy from South Boston with nothing left to lose who will make sure that little 8 year old boy is avenged. Whether that guy is a fellow prisoner or a prisoner guard, it's going to happen.

A few years ago they had a priest in a MA prison. He was in solitary because he was convicted of molesting a number of altar boys. He got his one night. In solitary.
