FULL TITLE: 'He's treated like the worst of the worst': Sandusky put on hard routine and separated from other inmates for his own protection
Serial child sex offender Jerry Sandusky lives under tight restrictions in prison for his own safety, it has been revealed.
The former Penn State coach is on hard routine after he asked for more prison privileges and then received threats from inmates.
'He is being housed in the appropriate facility in order to assure his safety,' said Susan McNaughton, press secretary for the Pennsylvania state Department of Corrections.
She responded to questions from Reuters after one of Sandusky's lawyers complained that his client was confined to his cell 23 hours a day.
"He's being treated like the worst of the worst in the state prison system in terms of his daily routine," attorney Karl Rominger said on Saturday.
He said Sandusky is treated like extremely violent offenders, or those on death row.
Sandusky, 68, Penn State's former defensive coordinator, was convicted in June of 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years, some in the football team's showers.

Aw my heart bleeds for him.
Put him in general population then.
“Put him in general population then.”
Yes, please do.
Hey ... Teacher ... Leave them kids alone.
Jerry Sandusky. It’s folks like him that provide the reason the Boy Scouts of America wisely has the rule that they do have concerning scoutmasters.
What’s the point of even living? Nobody’s ever going to say a kind word to you ever again. Should of just did himself in.
Yep - general population so he can get some more privileges. Or, send him to Super MAX -
He should have molested children in Denver as a sheriff.
Few weeks in jail and probation.
Yup, corrupt liberal governor and mayor.
Awwww...make him a scout master again then /S
Between the example set by Jerry Sandusky and the Roman Catholic Church experience with adult male homosexuals and young boys, anyone who is pressing for the BSA (including corporations who are witholding financial support from the BSA due to their position on adult make homosexuals) to allow homosexuals in their membership must be assumed to be in favor of child molestation.
Completely agree. How anyone can even possibly think otherwise is beyond my reasoning capabilities.
Only because he is.
Sounds like he's right where he belongs.
It’s good that they are treating him in a way that would be considered “unconstitutional” if you tried it with a murdering, Islamoterrorist at Gitmo. Murdering terrorists have “constitutional rights” don’t ya know.
Sounds proper to me, like he's in the right place
I thought Jerry would be dead by now.
or a a K-12 teacher where he’d most likely get sent to another district with fresh victims
The punishment fits the crime?
Good.
