Strange how those things happen.
Actually, this DOES happen pretty commonly in prisons. The inmates are allowed access to newspapers, and there does seem to be a certain "honor among thieves." The one crime other inmates seem to have little tolerance for is those among their number who kill or harm children in ways like the two monsters above did. There was a story in my local paper a few years back about such an individual who was thrown in among the general population at the local county jail. The guy ended up being beaten by a couple of the other inmates to within an inch of his life and had to placed in solitary confinement for his own protection after he got back from the prison hospital. Personally, I think he (and the two above) should have been thrown back on the tender mercies of his fellows.
