Real criminals hate child abusers and child killers.........................

[Theoria]

Prisoners always check newcomers papers, or find out what they are in for. Child abuse, etc is found out quick.

So, what’s for lunch?

[Steve_Seattle]

He murdered a toddler that was already killed by inmates? How about “Inmates kill man accused of murdering toddler”?

One of the big things about going in is to hide your crime. Of course, weapon and assault and gang types give cred. But if you’re one of these lowlifes, man.

I still don’t know how Chris Watts is alive. They must have a guard constantly on him.

Probably got the Dahmer treatment.

“I still don’t know how Chris Watts is alive. They must have a guard constantly on him”

Not necessarily...in my state the inmates are more or less grouped together by their crime.

Pedos are kept together.....murderers are kept together etc.....of course this is not an absolute.

Also it’s not impossible for inmates to know what each other’s crimes are. All they need is a name and a contact on the outside to look it up on the state DOC website.

Nice to see some good news amongst all the other insanity surrounding us.
