They'll probably have to transfer him to some other state -- which is what they did with Dahmer, and he didn't live long, either.
Dahmer was killed in Columbia Correctional which is in Wisconsin, he was never transfered out. The gangbanger who killed him (and paid well for it) was transfered to Fed. afterwards because he already had life and nothing to lose in the WI system (which is why he had no quams about killing Dahmer)
Sorry, my mistake. For some reason I had it in my head that he was killed in a prison in another state, and didn't bother to confirm that before posting. Mea culpa.
Don't forget that the guy who killed Dahmer also killed Anderson the same hour. I would term both killings "hate crimes" -- or "Hate retribution" due to the nature of the crimes committed by Dahmer and Anderson. You'd think that the Feds could have brought further charges, but no -- they just moved him out.
