True. Everyone has known for years that prison rape goes on constantly, for instance, but nothing is done to change things. In this Geoghan murder, he and his killer were in a supposedly protective part of the prison. Aside from all comments about Geoghan and HIS victims, crimes in prison against the weaker prisoners are rampant. Any small-framed 18 year-old going into prison - for even a minor offense - is a prime candidate for rape by the larger inmates. Violent acts go on all the time. The violent are locked away from society, but they terrorize the ones they can get ahold of.
If you want to know why, just read the posts that always appear on threads dealing with a rape or murder in prison. Vile scum crawl out from the shower drain and post comments congratulating the rapists and murderers for doing "justice" and giving the victims "what they deserved." When there is an execution, the same or similar scum invariably post comments expressing the hope that the executed man in in Hell.
There are already several pro-rape posts on this thread.
Even if they put this little guy into the same kind of prison Geoghan was in, do you believe that Geoghan's killer would have done the same thing to him? They should put the bad check writers, embezzlers, pot heads etc into one kind of prison but murderers and rapists belong together in another kind of prison ---- or more should be given the death penalty.
