It doesn't happen often enough. In my 25 years working in uniform in New York State Corrections, there was only one inmate killed. He'd had his throat cut in his cell. And it wasn't related to his crime. He was killed for revenge for something that had happened before he was sent down. I worked in three different prisons during my career, and that was the only inmate murder that occurred. I'm sure there were others at different facilities across the State, but we rarely heard of them. Back then, New York had a total of 55 correctional facilities. They're down to 48. Cuomo and Hochul closed 7.
Why were those 7 closed?
In my state some were closed because they were too old and escapes were possible.
In your experience, were child killers persecuted by other prisoners?
I may be wrong but aren’t rapists, pedophiles and the like kept away with the general population to protect them because so many were getting jailhouse justice?
Viking also claims those who hurt women are punished by the other inmates. Any truth to that? I don’t believe it, at all.
I don’t think most men who are violent to men draw the line at hurting women.
Criminals prey on people weaker than they are more often than they engage in honorable combat.
“They’re down to 48. Cuomo and Hochul closed 7.”
More than that! Hochul closed 6 in the last round of closures alone. And they are threatening us with more. Then they can’t figure out why they are having trouble recruiting COs. This place is run by idiots.
