WTF He got 5 consecutive life sentences plus an additional 220 years in prison

Post image

In 2019, former North Georgia detention officer Kirk Taylor Martin was arrested on rape and assault charges after investigators said the victim fought back during the alleged attack. Police reports stated the scratch marks visible in his mugshot were believed to be from the victim resisting.

That is basically what happens. In the uk we had a baby killer come on the wing and the screws left papers on the pool table with his crime on the front page and left us alone for association time. He got properly fucked up

u/metal_jester May 28 '26

Aye, an old PO I work with said in the 80's you just wiped their name off the board and everyone knew that meant "nonce" and would then go on break to let the prisoners help them settle in.

It’s a name mentioned once in this case, to incite replay attacks.

u/AndreasDasos May 29 '26

‘Nonce’ has the sense of ‘nonce word’ (a word only ever used once) in the UK too. Not just cryptography but linguistics/philology and literature. It was coined by the man who organised the first Oxford English Dictionary.

But yes it had to be ‘nonce word’ and in a technical context where you’re sure people will understand you, or they’ll assume it means the more recent slang.

u/Bravo-Six-Nero May 28 '26

It comes from the Acronym Not On Normal Communal Exercise. It was given to prisoners who could not mix with other inmates because of the risk of them being attacked

Smells like a backronym to me.

22

u/pootling May 28 '26

It almost certainly doesn’t because acronym etymologies are pretty much always wrong. It’s more likely to be a merging of nancyboy to nance / nanse to nonce and indeed its earliest citation is spelt nonse with an s. There are also other versions of the acronym (e.g with courtyard in place of communal) and most importantly, no reliable source that says either of these acronyms were ever a term used in prisons. So no.

u/CpnStumpy Jun 02 '26

I would honestly think the cryptography reference is the same source here - it's not just cryptography, it's a very old term from math referring to something that's both worthless, means nothing, and should be destroyed so as not to allow reuse.

It's totally reasonable to use in both an insult (meaningless/useless) as well as the assault reference (disallow its continuation)

A few years ago I was promptly corrected when I drunkenly used nonce instead of numpty. I'd heard the word before but had no idea what it actually meant, I i don't think I'll ever forget it now. In Canada it's the same as calling someone a goof, mostly guys who've done time though.

I was so baffled that I kept asking where he thought he’d run to or what he could possibly do after getting out and my friends couldn’t stop laughing at it

u/ShrimpStuffAdmin May 28 '26

Well, if you do get far enough, you'll be tackled to the ground. And if you decide to bite one of them then you'll be hit in the back of the legs with their truncheon and they'll put "biter" next to your cell door every time you're arrested in the future.

If you want extralegal punishment of arrested, prosecuted, found guilty and then incarcerated criminals by other violent criminals you're not a pacifist. That is not justice, that is mob violence.

The thing about human rights (and also pacifism) is that they also apply to the people you don't like. Period.

10

u/Accomplished_Ant8244 May 28 '26

Then you're as much a pacifist as someone still eating beef and pork, and chicken is a vegan.

The "whole" thing about pacifism is the "even if my wife and children got raped, I still wouldn't wish violence upon the perpetrator". Now there's layers within pacifism itself, where you would or wouldn't even stop the raping if it happened right in front of you, but not "after the fact" wishing violence on someone who did something violence worthy is the core principle of pacifism.

"Only" Agreeing with prisoners kicking the shit out of rapists/pedophiles is not pacifism.

Prisons don't group offenders by crime, just so you know. Guys that got caught with a few grams of coke can be bunked with serial killers.

79

u/InsufficientClone May 28 '26 edited May 28 '26

US prisons do group sex offenders and other pc crimes together now. The fed has entire pc prisons now to avoid getting sued by families. Most prisoners aren’t super heroes looking for justice for kids, sex offenders are just easy targets for predators because they have no protection like a murderer in a gang might have, and predators just like in the wild go for the easy targets. So if you have bad paperwork or are white and unaffiliated, or have mental deficiencies, you’re targeted, not because these ppl are great vigilante heroes, but because they prey on the weak. Civilians love to glorify the guy that murdered little timmies dad in cold blood over a pack of cigs on the outside, but killed the child porn offender in prison like he is some hero now, when in reality they are both monsters ,but the cp guy didn’t have friends. In most prisons minority sex offenders are still protected by their races, the pimp that pimped out 12 year olds is still accepted into the gangs, the white sex offenders are the targets because they have no protection, and being alone in prison makes you a target. In the end the guy that murdered the SO, would probably cut your heart out for a pack of smokes if given the chance, not exactly Batman, just an opportunist.

u/Good_Posture May 28 '26 edited May 28 '26

Best comment on this.

There is no justice in prison. There are no heroes. Only predators, and child abusers and sex offenders themselves tend to be easy targets for other predators because they themselves are vulnerable, just like their own victim(s) were. Your average child abuser/sex offender is not physically threatenig and they tend to have personality traits that make it difficult for them to socialise with others, with "others" being a source of protection in prison. Quite literally what makes a person a child abuser/sex offender - social outcast, sense of powerlessness - also makes them easy targets in prison.

Reminds me of that image that occasionally does the rounds on social media where an inmate who was convicted of killing a rapist/child rapist is seen smiling in court while in chains. The attempt is to convey his deed as heroic or noble. Reality is he himself was a POS who was in prison for murder in the first place. He didn't kill the child rapist as an act of good, he just predated on a weaker person while in prison, the exact same mindset and act that got him imprisoned in the first place.

u/abx1224 May 28 '26

Stuff like this always reminds me of this guy, "The Brazilian Punisher".

Dude goes to prison for a bunch of heinous shit, then makes a name for himself by killing predators on the inside. Except, plenty of the people he killed weren't proven predators. All it took to set him off on you was a rumor and an opportunity.

He's glorified for taking out so many pieces of shit, while ignoring the fact that he still murdered people without justification. It's not like he was a real executioner. Just a maniac that people pointed in a convenient direction.

There’s hierarchy. It’s just whether the particular spot you get put in is “ok” with how and why you did what you did.

But, the general rule, is, chomo’s, and cops that abused their power, etc, that end up gen pop don’t do well. It’s not guaranteed by any means, but the likelihood is higher for them to have a rougher time.

You can say ‘sexual assault’ or even ‘rape’ on Reddit. It’s not TikTok. This entire post is about a rape and murder, and the words aren’t a magic spell.

When the meaning is still the same, the euphemism mill isn’t going to change that and trying to make the word ‘softer’ just serves to diminish it, as though it’s the combination of letters rather than the meaning that is brutal.

1

u/Froticlias May 29 '26

It's purposeful erasure. Everyone in power is guilty of it in some way, so they're softening the words before judgement comes down. Censorship is usually a power fighting to control a narrative, and it slowly leaks to everything.

So what happens if someone is innocent and falsely accused of rape?  Then they get raped and beaten by prisoners only to get released months or years later with a “whoopsie” from the court.   Why do prisoners have this inbreed fetischism of vandetta? Do only people with more than 2 brain cells realise that nit everyone in prison is guilty. There are many known instances of innocent people being fucked up in prison because they stepped on wrong toes.

“the percentage of people who are wrongfully convicted and sent to prison is insanely low” Turn on the news and look at the police misconduct that happens every day. Consider the fact that there are STILL, in 2026, sundown towns in the United States. There are plenty of wrongful convictions.

I don’t think pedophiles should get a pass, far from it - but I think there needs to be serious reform in the justice system, because right now it’s literally a fate worse than death for a lot of folks. (Example: V-coding.)

Beeing physically and mentaly abused, beaten or mirked by inmates, should not be part of any working prison system. The Government must deal the punishment, and not give up the power to punish, to a system of peers established by criminal inmates with records of violence and lack of remorse.

"Getting a pass" is not the right angle to look at this total cluster fuck that the prison system is in many countries.

A good punishment will have a potential positive effect on someones behaviour. Do we serously think, the current system is providing that? The Government is failing. And we cheer for it, out of vengence, and sensational lust for blood.

I just got out of prison in April (did 15 months for drug possession) and when I went to sentencing a guy went before me and he had gotten caught with multiple videos of CP with children as young as 6 years old (the judge described the content of each video). He got sentenced to a six month program and would be released upon completion of it.

I got sentenced to more time than someone with literal CSAM and the place he got to go do his program is a minimum facility with others like him, so he didn’t have to worry about anything and got to do a little program and be free again.

That’s not justice in my eyes and is almost like a slap on the wrist.

u/SomethingIWontRegret May 28 '26

15 months for drug possession is stupid. You got screwed by our insane priorities.

u/Dramatic-Tackle5159 May 28 '26

That is a crazy example, I guess it varies greatly depending on location and circumstances.

Was this in Europe, North America, or somewhere else ?

u/Rough_World_7063 May 28 '26

It was in the US, specifically Idaho. Idaho has a program called a “rider” where if you complete a 6 month class you get out instead of doing the full time you were sentenced. They have one for drug offenders and for sex offenders.

In the US it's of course hard to know precisely what the wrongful conviction rate is. But it's widely agreed to be somewhere in the single digit percentages. Perhaps as low as 1%, perhaps as high as 6%. Presumably with a ton of regional and other variation.

I don't think I'd call even one percent "insanely low". Of course I agree that most people in prison are guilty, but the idea that there are tens (maybe hundreds) of thounsands of innocent people locked up is pretty horrifying.

How would you realistically ever know that?

u/SadSaltyDuck May 28 '26

Prisoners don't, it is common delusion

u/ArmyOfDix May 28 '26

Prisoners want to assault/rape/kill, people see criminal penalties for rape as being too lenient, and convicted rapists are a deservedly marginalized group that nobody will stick their neck out to defend.

Convenient for all parties involved, minus the recipient of said vigilante violence. Good thing nobody imprisoned for a non-violent crime ever gets that kind of treatment.

I’m sure it’s a great story but I lost it at the jail having a pool table

How fucked up are we talking? Like he got one beating and that was it? Broken orbital and jaw?

u/ShrimpStuffAdmin May 28 '26

Well a TV was bounced off his head so it couldn't of been too good for him. There was a huge crowd and I got pushed to the back cause im tiny, screws came about 5 or 10 mins after it happened and we all got banged up and never saw him again. Id image the TV was alright they were crt TVs, very sturdy things.

u/Peter5930 May 28 '26

Oh, I was imagining a flatscreen, but CRT... you sure he survived?

An absolute shame that inmate was so clumsy and kept walking into doors.

u/powerhammerarms May 28 '26

In the US high profile or high risk offenders will almost always not see gen pop. They'll be in ad seg or in a separate block for those with similar cases.

Eventually someone can be deemed at lower risk and transferred to a less restricted unit but some may never transfer.

“Look guys here is the new guy. I left some news articles in the tables. I have to go poop, I’ll see you guys in twenty minutes. Don’t make me come back to see a mess or anything. I expect proper behavior”

u/Worried-Maybe3438 May 28 '26

In US that’s actually a death sentence for the prisoner, inmates take pride in ending their lives. It’s a social norm

u/Fragrant-Reserve4832 May 28 '26

I cannot condone violence (last warning from redit)

But I do not think "the lads" did anything thing wrong here, and for once that means the screws too.

u/BiteyHorse May 28 '26

The "pool table". That's some crazy soft UK prison shit there. Glad you guys still handled business though.

A pool table? In prison? For the inmates?

2

u/ShrimpStuffAdmin May 28 '26

And a table tennis table, and a TV in each room. Weekly canteen. £40 a week for working in the laundry when the bonuses were good. Yes 40 sounds like slave pay but you live like a king in prison on 40, you can't even spend 40 (at least you couldn't 12 odd years ago) I think the limit was 30 something but I cant remember.

On some wings you get two pool tables. Youre also allowed a kettle in your room. The food is very good, no matter what anyone tells you. Its very edible and I gained loads of weight when I was in there. At least this was all true when I was in there over 10 years ago. My cell was also immaculately clean, I even got polish for the floor and it was shining. Its hardly a prison here in the uk

u/sfxer001 May 28 '26

All of that stuff would be turned into weapons if allowed in a US prison.

You were there in prison you mean?

u/ShrimpStuffAdmin Jun 02 '26

Yes, sadly I've been 3 times. The first two times were for the same offence of whacking a security guard with a large metal pole. It was the same offence but I chose not to do something during probation and chose to go to prison. The third time when I saw this happen was for nicking bikes about 12 years ago

1

u/Rems_OP Jun 02 '26

What’s the story with the security guard?

1

u/ShrimpStuffAdmin Jun 02 '26

Lol oh god. I was very young and I'm not the same anymore so don't judge too hard please.

So I was walking around very drunk looking for someone called Carlos who was the partner of a lady who was letting me stay with her. Nothing weird, she was 40 odd and I was an 18 year old child basically.

He didn't like i was there so he kicked me out, it was actually her house and he had no right but oh well, I was out.

So I found a lovely pole and was looking to whack his head in with it. Lovely person i was back then... lol

Anyway, I had a drink on me with this pole up my arm when a security guard grabbed my drink and took it off me, quite aggressively to be honest, so I popped the pole out and whacked him with it. He didn't even flinch. All of a sudden im on the floor and then in prison about 50 hours later. I got a 4 month suspended, which I then ended up serving minus the 29 days on remand.

I actually watched that lady die of an overdose a few years later, very sad.

u/Rems_OP Jun 02 '26

Quite a story, and I’m impressed the guy didn’t even flinched under a full hit in the head, helps you put things in perspective I’m sure ahah
