As convicted pedophile, Jerry Sandusky runs risk of being sexually assaulted in prison

Because of who he is and what he’s done, Jerry Sandusky could be in particular danger of sexual assault when he is sent off to prison this week.

With thousands of inmates raped behind bars in the U.S. each year, statistics compiled by the federal government show that sex offenders are roughly two to four times more likely than other inmates to fall victim.

Sandusky, the 68-year-old former Penn State assistant football coach, will be sentenced Tuesday for sexually abusing 10 boys in a scandal that rocked the university and brought down coach Joe Paterno. Sandusky is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison.

It’s entirely possible that he will serve his time without incident. His lawyer, Joe Amendola, said he expects Sandusky will be housed with nonviolent offenders at a minimum-security prison, and the Pennsylvania Corrections Department said it is committed to the safety of all inmates, though it would not comment on what it plans to do to protect Sandusky.

But it’s also true that child molesters are reviled inside prison walls just as they are on the outside, and are often subjected to physical and verbal abuse, including sexual assault. Given the horrific nature of Sandusky’s crimes, will the public care what happens to him in prison?

[who knows what evil?]

...will the public care what happens to him in prison?

No...not really.

I would be okay with cutting his prison sentence to just one day as long as he bunked with Christopher Scarver.

A shame, that.

[rawcatslyentist]

About the same risk as an innocent child in his school district.

Considering he likes sex with men you would think that he would be looking forward to prison.

[Lurker]

Checking......

Nope. Don't give a damn.

No tear shed for Sandusky but does anyone else see the problem with having to rely upon the prison population in order for justice to be delivered?

[Shimmer1]

They must think I care. Nope, I don’t care.

[Morgana]

Pass me some will ya?

Oh and here is a beer..

[brooklyn dave]

I am sure there are some sickos in jail that like old man butt.

[Morgana]

Considering they are in jail I’d think they’d take any butt they can get.

Anyone who feels the least bit sorry for Jerry can send him soap-on-a-rope..

"As convicted pedophile, Jerry Sandusky runs risk of being sexually assaulted in prison"

Yeah, see I'm gonna put "that" on my list of things I will eventually getting round to care about.

I'll slip that into the list just below: "pondering whether Hitler felt any pain when he offed himself."

[sitetest]

Not anywhere as likely in a minimum security prison.

[Mich Patriot]

Personally I think he should get a uniform like these...
