Shortly after 2 a.m. on April 6, 2010, a guard at Salinas Valley State Prison noticed Alan Ager's cellmate trying to stuff something under a mattress. It was Ager, blood trickling from his mouth and a cloth noose tied around his neck.

The convicted child molester died 10 days later without regaining consciousness, his death earning his cellmate a second life sentence.

California state prisoners are killed at a rate that is double the national average — and sex offenders like Ager account for a disproportionate number of victims, according to an Associated Press analysis of corrections records.

I’m sorry, I’m still more upset about the burning of the Jordanian pilot.

OK, it took me a minute to figure out what the “angle” of the article was. It’s pedophilia and, if it was legal, these inmates wouldn’t be killed. #amiright?

Unless I am missing something, this sounds like a win-win situation.

...his death earning his cellmate a second life sentence.

So it was a freebee. Nicely done.

What really ticks me off is Wookie and her two spoiled freeloading brats going to Japan on vacation. Again, on our dime.

A child rapist getting justice? Sorry. That doesn't register on my care-o-meter.

“...earning his cellmate a second life sentence. “

What a sad joke that is.

On Fox’s “Gotham”, Detective Bullock would call it “a public service murder”.

Wonder if all of the anti death penalty people consider this? What do you do with someone serving a life sentence who murders a fellow prisoner or a guard? A second life sentence seems to be a waste of time and money.
