Sandusky didn't have to control himself. He had the green light from Paterno and others.
I worked in uniform for 25 years in the NY State prison system, and dealt with all kinds of criminals. I'd like to think that Sandusky will have a hard time behind bars, but the truth is, the scumbag will probably ask for protective custody and get it. He was protected at Penn State, and will be protected behind bars.
I know that this seems easy to say, but I am pretty certain that I would prefer a very early death to what he is facing. There must be plenty of ways to end one’s life in there. How could someone go on?
