I think that's an important issue, and a national disgrace.

People who deserve execution should be legally executed, not turned over to prison inmates.

And until such time as our laws specifically state that brutalization by other prisoners is a part of incarceration, we should protect prisoners against each other.

What can happen is that you get really hate-filled people eventually released from prison. For instance, one of James Byrd's murderers had just been released from Huntsville prison in Texas. The MSM went wild because Byrd was a black man who was hideously dragged to death behind a pickup truck with his head bouncing off. He didn't do anything to them, but one of the murderers had just been released from Huntsville prison where he'd been repeatedly raped by black inmates and Byrd was black.

Our prison systems are failures because criminals go in bad, but they can come out much worse. Aryan Nation, Mexican Mafia, Black gangs, it usually divides into a racial jungle for survival.
