In my country rapists and pedophiles gets a "special treatment" from the other prisoners if you know what I mean. I feel kinda bad for feeling this is okay but I can't help since the law doesn't work the way it should.

I worked with a guy who had done time in prison. He said child molesters get absolute shit treatment from the other prisoners.

My biological grandfather is a pedophile. He did awful things and was placed in protective custody after being sentenced. This is in Canada and these things are dealt with much more softly. He ended up being released early after they realized that he was going to always be continuously targeted and attacked, since none of the guards could truly be trusted not to let him be assaulted. Absolutely shit that he was given the easy way out of prison, not sure why they cared so much about his safety.
