KERN COUNTY, Calif. A convicted child molester was killed by another inmate less than a week after arriving at a California prison, officials said.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said it received Agustin Duran at the Wasco State Prison, about 30 miles northwest of Bakersfield, on July 2.
The 66-year-old was sentenced to serve 55 years to life in prison with the possibility of parole after being convicted of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old in Los Angeles County, according to the agency.
On July 7, at around 7:20 p.m., 19-year-old Andres Ayon allegedly started punching him in the face and upper torso.
An alarm prompted all inmates to drop on the ground except Ayon, who kept striking Duran, CDCR said.
The teenager complied after staffers used a pepper spray grenade and was placed into a temporary holding cell, according to the department. Duran was airlifted to a hospital and was declared dead the next day at around 4:48 p.m., authorities said.
Ayon, who had been in CDCR custody since June 22, was serving a six-year sentence for second-degree robbery and use of a deadly weapon in Kern County. He received treatment at the prison for minor injuries following the incident and was placed at an administrative segregation unit, the agency said.
The prison housed around 4,900 inmates, according to CDCR.
Officials provided no further information.
Saved CA a lot of money.
The Killer could well have been severely abused himself and snapped! Severe anti-social behavior is often the end result of suffering sexual abuse as a child!
It now houses 4,899
So the guy was sentenced to 55 years to life, and it wound up being life, what’s the big deal?
But there is the question of punishment for the guy that killed him. Possibly early parole? Maybe a week in solitary confinement with all the booze he can drink and the best catered in food?
Comments on the Daily Fail make me feel better about life right now.
Maybe not.Assuming the 19 year old gets life without parole he'll be a guest of the state for 60+ years whereas with the perv it might have been 20.
Yep he fulfilled the sentence he had imposed upon him.
Thanks for the end of week upper.
Child molester in general population: swift justice, works every time.
Gotta link? I’d love to read comments.
Yeah, I’m gonna call this one self-defense.
That may be, but not necessarily.
The convict code demands child molesters get jumped, if not killed if they can be got to. This guy got got.
(See my tagline for further information.)
Bagster
Even convicts have their standards.
Aw, gee, that’s just too bad. Too bad about the inmate who did the deed will now have his time extended, unless he didn’t have anything to lose.
I’ve never heard of this kind of thing happening in women’s correctional institutions.
How about convicting him of murder and getting two scumbags off the streets for good?
Must have been a Suicide. /s
“Ive never heard of this kind of thing happening in womens correctional institutions.”
Put a male child molester in a woman’s prison and the women will kill him, too.
But it probably won’t be as nice and quick as the men do it.
