While I have no sympathy for this unhung murderer and think he should receive the death penalty, this is a national disgrace.
We jail people first to keep them from running, then, if convicted, because they were sentenced to confinement.
We do not sentence them to be beaten or sodomized, and our failure to prevent such things is inexcusable.
He didn't get killed that time, but he will eventually because NO ONE wants this puke walking around near them ~ and some prisoners remember they have rights.
BTW, this happened to Eric Daumer, the Maneating Man from Milwaukee. The prisoners nailed him for good. Jail is one thing. Being locked up with a cannibal isn't in the law!
While I think that punishment for violent crimes in this country should be much heavier than they are, I agree with you. The fact that people can get beaten up, raped, etc in prisons in this country really is a disgrace. No one should even have the opportunity to band together in gangs. The inmates appear to be running the asylums.
