He was in for a variety of offenses, and for the most part I got the impression the other inmates knew little of his pedophilia. Why prison management would keep such information 'secret' is curious to me.

It's possible that other inmates will target a fellow prisoner who is known to be a child-molester, and in order to avoid incidents they keep that information from the general population.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
