$2 million bail on a non-murder charge is about as high as it's gonna get. Bail is usually denied based more on flight risk than the nature of the crime.

Luckily he was stupid enough to videotape his maggotry...his will definitely be "hard" time.

I understand that other convicts in prison have a very low tolerance of someone who commits a crime of this nature.
He will get hard time alright when convicted.

I've heard the same thing over and over for years, but I wonder if it's an urban legend. I've never seen any evidence to back up the fact that a sex offender is roughed up or treated any more harshly than any other convict. Of course, I don't know a lot of people who have done time, so I can't ask anyone personally. I've seen lots of bad guys in prison movies and guards who are merciless like in the Shawshank Redemption, one of my favorite movies. But I wonder if Hollywood has used poetic license to create these characters. Would a child molester be treated any worse than someone like Timothy McVeigh, for example?   Jeffrey Dahmer was murdered in prison and so was Albert De Salvo, although when his body was exhumed a few years ago, DNA showed he probably wasn't the real Boston Strangler.

Anyway, I am not vindictive and if this man gets raped in prison, it won't give the children back their innocence anyway. I think to make sure these creeps don't repeat, they should be surgically altered. (did I say I wasn't vindictive?)

Nancy, it's no urban legend. Child molesters are "fair game" in prison. You would think that several years of being beaten and raped in prison would serve as a deterrent for repeat behavior, but many are released and repeat. My theory is that they like the treatment they receive in prison (masochists with a latent homosexual bend). For that reason repeat offenders of these crimes should get longer sentences.

McVeigh was in federal prison and kept in solitary confinement. Very different than state prison in general population.

Time*treat, I was only using him as an example of a more heinous crime (if that's possible) since children in the Day Care Center were killed by the bombing.

Unfortunately that 2 million usually only really means he would have to come up with $200,000 since I think you only need to cover 10% of it to get out. Anyway, rapist and especially child molesters/rapist really are an unpopular sort MSNBC even aired something about it a couple days ago regarding the "convict code" or something like that and how those types usually have to be kept away from the other prisoners because if they don't end up getting it themselves they end up getting shanked or killed in some other way.

D'oh!
