“If he carries that mentally into prison, he might not be coming out”
Having served in my church’s prison ministry for 5 years I had the opportunity to get to understand the state prison system a bit.
One of the facilities we go into is called the “RMC” Reception and Medical Center.
Every new state prison inmate is sent there when first entering the state prison system to get orientated to prison life and for mental and physical evaluation.
I suspect that his mental state will require him to stay at that facility permanently for treatment and so medical personnel can keep a closer eye on him.
However, having said all that, there’s still violence in all prison facilities from time to time.
I did some time in a prison for a special project for my job and I was able to witness interactions. Having talked to the prisoners, I’ve learned that you have to exaggerate common courtesy or else you will get your block knocked off.
Him, being so big and low IQ, will not understand that. At least at first. My expectation is that he will be told, then he’ll be taught.
