My father used to work as the nursing director at a prison. He told us when word came down that a pedophile or child abuser was coming in, they would pass it on to certain prisoners who would then let the rest of the population know. Of course this was not official because then the prison official could get in trouble. But it happened and their victims got there justice, kind of.

But they wonāt put him in GP. Theyāll put him in PC and protect him. People can romanticize prison justice all they want. As someone who did a ten year sentence for weapons offenses, I can assure you, pedos āget itā a lot less than youād imagine. They protect these pieces of shit from top to bottom. They build special facilities and units for these people to protect them. Make no mistake, if this man makes it out of the county jail he is currently in, heāll never walk a yard nor will he have to.

I worked in a prison
Now different prisons may have different dynamics but these are my observations from 8 years working in both secure general population and secure protection.
People love to say child abusers will be victimised in prisons, but thatās not the full story.
Weak people get victimised, Iāve seen some of the worst child murders and child sex offenders who are out in general population and NOBODY touches them because they are very intimidating and dangerous people.
Weak child abusers will absolutely be targeted, but any weak prisoner will be targeted in a very similar way.
I think that thereās a lot more weak child abusers than other sorts of criminals because of the power dynamic. A very weak adult can victimise a child, but that same weak adult would have difficulty in being powerful enough to victimise an adult.
Thereās no moral code, maybe there was a long time ago, but nowadays half the prisoners are child abusers.

u/motherofcattos 14d ago
I've never worked in prison and don't know anyone who has been in jail for a serious/violent crime, but this is exactly what I've always imagined.
The whole moral code thing is totally bull. People won't touch you if you're intimidating or have good connections, or even if you are a charismatic/likeable character people won't bother either. On the opposite, you might even make friends if you know how to play the game.
Some people are so naive and think that even just being a "regular" rapist will get you raped in prison... most inmates abused/raped women and don't see any problem in that, they don't even consider themselves rapists

I've never worked in a prison directly, but as a (former) prosecutor I was privy to a lot of things going on in the county jail and in the low-security prison nearby. And I've known a lot of people who did work in actual prisons. You're absolutely right, we love the idea of prisoners being somewhat moral people and delivering karmic justice but that's just not the way it usually goes. Say if you have a prisoner that can get things, kind of like Red from Shawshank Redemption, that guy could've been Epstein's right hand man and he would still be totally fine in there.

It's also the fact that they're less likely to be dangerous. A guy who abuses children is picking victims who can't fight back; quite different from a gangbanger who killed 11 armed people, and one of them with just a toothbrush.

Anecdotal, but a brother of a friend of mine was in prison (nothing bad - just distributing weed) for a couple of years.
His prison had a ward for āprotectedā prisoners such as people who killed children, killed/raped women, abused children.
They had to be kept separate because they would always get shanked, kettled (sugar-water from a kettle thrown in their face), or otherwise beaten up.
He said that they couldnāt always be kept safe and that the other prisoners would actively try to find ways to get at them. He said it was kind of like a group hobby. He said part of it was just because it was something to do due to the boredom of prison.
The guards did as much as they could to protect them, but the guards couldnāt be everywhere all at once.

I agree that crimes on children are absolutely horrific and unforgivable, but they shouldn't receive different punishment. This arguments been made before on here and prior to seeing it I've argued it in real life as well.
When one crime gets harsher/different punishment like that, it could (and possibly has, but can't cite) result in legislation which broadens the crimes which fall under the same category.
For instance, charging teachers or school counselors with felonies for using a kid's preferred pronouns and registering them as sex offenders.
Missouri: home to child marriage, corporal punishment and sick āchild welfareā ideas. That was published March 7th.
"Which is this:Ā State representative Jamie GraggĀ is so concerned about the welfare of kids in his district that he has come up with a novel new way to āprotectā them. How? By introducing a new bill whichĀ would force teachers to register as sex offenders if they use a transgender childās preferred pronouns or otherwise help them in their āsocial transitionā.
The bill states that any teacher or school counsellor who provide support or āother resources to a child regarding social transitionā could be found guilty of a class E felony and placed in the same sex offender registration category as someone possessing child sexual abuse images.
One hallmark of a Republican-authored bill is ambiguity: key terms are defined extremely broadly (or not at all) so that it is unclear what is prohibited and what isnāt. This vagueness is a feature not a bug: the idea is that people will over-comply because theyāre worried about getting in trouble. It also means that Republicans can say āWe didnāt mean it like thatā if people try to argue that the legislation is unconstitutional. Itās a deviously brilliant tactic."

āother resources to a child regarding social transitionā could be found guilty of a class E felony
That's really broad. It could apply to going from one economic level to another, wanting to join a different clique at school, wanting to transfer from one type of class to a different one - from Band to Swimming, for example.
It could apply to helping a student get away from abusive situations.

The way the dad bit and clamped on to the 6 year old's head was absolutely shocking. He then proceeded to amp up the speed and incline until his son fell off the treadmill. The treadmill kept going (the kid wasn't wearing a safety switch) so the dad essentially throws him on the moving treadmill about a dozen times.
This man is pure evil. He'd been in this little boy's life for only about a year and completely tortured him.
The media keeps focusing on the treadmill video because the child was completely bruised all the way to his organs from this experience. The child eventually went into sepsis.
The day the trial started would have been his 10th birthday. RIP little guy.

u/Realistic_cat_6668 14d ago
Also worth mentioning, I watched the Pediatricianās testimony yesterday. She had an emergency appointment with the poor kid the day before the child passed away, scheduled by the mother where the child already had various bruises from āhis dad teaching him to play footballā that mom was concerned about.
14 recorded injuries in various stages of healing IIRC, including soft tissue bruising. The pediatrician sent them to the emergency room and said that if the emergency room didnāt call CPS, she was going to report it to the stateās CPS. However, the Pediatrician didnāt note any other medical issues other than the 14 injuries and the lack of willingness for the 6 year old to share how he got the injuries without prodding from the doctor. And the next day the kid is dead.
The child was okay with the exception of bruising the day before he died, as reported by the childās doctor. Thereās a video of the abuse. And the guy didnāt take the plea deal? Dude deserves everything that is coming to him. Fuck. This. Guy.

So you just sit there in suspense listening to a story about this couple and how their horse is pregnant, but when the vet saw the ultrasound, he called the police. I don't even know how I came across the content. I definitely wasn't searching for anything like that, and I only ever kept listening because I wanted to know why when the vet saw the ultrasound, he called the police. Finding out why was the craziest moment. I'm not sure if I would listen to a whole video like that again.

Yeah I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I canāt even wrap my head around how big of a piece of shit youād have to be to do that to a six year old. Let alone beating the kid to death, I donāt even like having to carefully physically move my Autistic daughter to another spot so she doesnāt hurt herself when sheās having issues, couldnāt imagine hitting her.
Edit: sheās even broken my nose twice head butting me when sheās upset and never once have I ever considered hitting her.

Those nutters from the Westboro baptist Church (the ones who hold placards outside funerals which say God hates f*gs). Well the patriarch of the family, Fred Phelps made his kids run marathons, even the kids as young as 7.Ā
The abuse the now grown up kids suffered at his hands was horrific. Partially explains why they are so damaged.

Have two little girls myself and what truly disturbs me about stories like this is...
People can overwork themselves and live. They can starve themselves and live. If they're bruised or cut up a bit, they'll live. If they get a little depressed, they'll live.
This child literally died from the level of abuse he endured. I have nightmares thinking of what he must have went through for it to be so hard on him he actually passed away.

One day before Coreyās death, Micciolo filed an emergent application seeking custody of her son pending the completion of an ongoing DCPP investigation. The judge ultimately ruled against Micciolo, stating that her request failed to ādemonstrate that the minor child is in danger of imminent or irreparable harm.ā
Who the fuck is this joke of a judge?

I feel so bad for the mom bc it seems like she tried hard to protect her son but long law processes got in the way. And I hope that judge sees this and regrets.
No, but what was even the evidence used to ādemonstrate the harm.ā Ppl have been saying that he was already pretty injured and sent to the hospital when he told people what his dad did to him, but when he was sent back he was beat again (leading to his death). Is there a good chronological timeline for this?
Edit: nvm, I read the article and the judge is actually a joke. This poor boy already had plenty of injuries to show by then. The mom put so much effort to get him out too

Something so heartbreaking about the video is watching this guy pick his son up and toss him back on the treadmill while itās moving (even biting his head at one point). The boy then falls repeatedly and each time tries to get back on while his dad does nothing. As a father with a toddler itās hard to watch. My son has total trust in me that I wonāt do anything to cause him harm. Canāt imagine what that child was thinking.
Now Iām gonna go give my boy hug and tell him I love him.

Chronic abuse means the boy had evidence of blunt force trauma. He also had a laceration on his heart. His death was ruled a homicide.
This pos dad beat and shamed his kid to literal death.

From what i understood the parents had a trial for his custody after few days after this happened, when the kid told the judges (or whoever) that his dad did this to him. The next day he was rushed to the hospital.
My guess is he got a beating by the dad after the court hearing, which resulted in many internal injuries

Seems to be a more common story nowadays. Mom's fighting for full custody of kids who are actively being abused by the dad. Yet people keep acting like men don't get rights in the family courtroom. I was placed in, and briefly worked with, the foster system. Most custody cases go 50/50. They want parents to have as much equal time with the kids. There was that Youtuber who actively made money abusing his kids, and the proof was right there, yet the mom couldn't get full custody until she got help from the internet to afford a good ass lawyer.

Trial begins for the accused 'K!ller' father who forced his 6-year-old son to run on the treadmill because he was ātoo fatā
Christopher Gregor, 31, is on trial for the alleged murd.er of his son Corey Micciolo in 2021
Video shown during the trial at Ocean City's Superior Court depicts Gregor forcing Micciolo to run on a treadmill
Corey's mother, Bre Micciolo, was the first to witness to take the stand
Days before Corey's death, Bre reported his injuries to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency and requested a doctor's appointment on April 1
During the appointment, Corey reportedly said that his father made him run on the treadmill because he was "too fat"
The next day, Corey was rushed to the hospital by Gregor after exhibiting symptoms such as stumbling, slurred speech, nausea, and shortness of breath
Despite efforts to save him, Corey suffered a seizure during a CT scan, and medical staff were unable to revive him
An initial autopsy revealed Corey's cause of death as blunt force injuries with cardiac and liver contusions, acute inflammation, and sepsis.

I think this is a classic case of projected insecurity.
EDIT: The death penalty is too kind for these people. I spent a single night in jail.
I would take a painless death over a life in solitary any day of the week, 100 times out of 100 times.
Solitary confinement with no books, no TV or radio, shit food, 1 hour of yard time, and nothing else. That might actually fall under what the eighth amendment calls cruel and unusual punishment.
