Regarding sex offenders and serial killers in prison:
The criminal history of the victim is another factor that may lead to victimization.
Those who are at a particularly high risk of sexual assault are those who are incarcerated
for sex crimes (Human Rights Watch, 2006). In most cases though, the victim has a less
severe crime than his offender. In some instances, their crime may have been the cause
of their victimization as this type of crime is grounds for punishment by other inmates
(Fagan et al., 1996).

"Of all the inmates in correctional institutions, the sex offender probably was and still is the object of the greatest animosity and anathema from members of society."

There is a reason sex offenders and serial killers are housed separately in most prisons, and it has everything to do with their safety. There is a stigma attached to these beings and there are many prisoners who would kill them in vigilante style if they were not isolated.
A question for you, Rev: How would you preserve the safety of such beings in a prisonland setting?
