It isn't quite hypocritical. Even criminal societies have some rules.
Molesting and or killing children goes beyond the pale. They will not suffer to be around such a monster and will kill him.
The bastard who was arrested today in CA for killing the Runion girl is a dead man walking from the second he gets to a large jailhouse.

There is a definite prison heirarchy of crimes. At the top of prison social stucture is the professional theif- bank robbers, heist artists, break in specialists- career crimanls who have a set of rules and actually think of themselves as true "professionals" like lawyers and doctors. OFten they are Mafia or organized crime connected. They kill only when they "have too". Below them are drug dealers or gang bangers- below that is the non sexual "heat of the moment" criminal- a guy who killed someone in a drunken brawl. Rapists of women and killers of women are the next lowest group. Below this group are the child killers and rapists. In prison culture they cannot be tolerated and are always segregated from general population because they will be killed.

I wish that were true but something tells me he will never see another inmate.

Got to protect the criminal, ya know! God forbid if we should deny them their rights.

If he dosen't PC up, which he will.

Nevertheless, here's hoping all the kites fly right and on some day when he is transfered here or there, "OPPS! Did your face just run into my fist?" "Here let me help you." (kick) "Oh no, now you've gone and mashed your face into my foot, you ain't too graceful are you?"

I've always wondered if the people who took out Dahmer in jail were paid to do it. There seemed to be little investigation surrounding it, and Dahmer certainly had enough enemies to give them the motive to put out a contract on him.
