Put him in general population with the rapists and murderers,
and tell them why he is there, non of that protective custody BS.


That is a likely outcome.
Maybe twenty years ago there was a preacher in Oklahoma (Alva?)
that got convicted for having a bit too much fun while helping
young girls in the congregation with a computer.

It's been years, but I think he didn't last more than a couple of
years in jail before another inmate rendered ultimate justice.

Aham, I believe the term is “shiv”

see also
1) Slang for a knife or any other small cutting/stabbing weapon, often homemade; think inmates with sharpened toothbrushes.

2) The act of utilising the aforementioned small cutting/stabbing weapon to cut/stab someone.
A shiv is a weapon made out of an commonplace object often in prison, also perhaps the origin of which is as a acronym a Self Honed Implement of Violence (SHIV).

A shiv could be a sharpened toothbrush made into a knife.
3. Shiv
A Home Made Knife made out of Anything but metal. Not to be confused with a Shank (a home made knife made of metal).

Shivs are usually made of Glass, Wood, or Scrap Plastic

Example — Shived- To be stabbed by a Shiv
“I heard that Guy from Cell block B was coming to Shank me... He’ll be surprised when I’ve got my Shiv deep in his Lungs”

Oddly, the Spanish word for shiv is also shiv. Perhaps because it is from the Romani word chiv.

At any rate the preacher-man is not going to have any fun in the big house.

And yes, it is a slow day till the grandkids show up.....
