I had a friend who'd worked as a prison guard for a while, the federal pen in Jackson, Michigan, and he confirmed that yes, rapists and child molesters are bottom of the pecking order (ha!) in the big house. Within the morality of criminals, it's okay to steal if you need something, even kill someone who's messed with you or someone you know. But these guys inside have family, wives, kids on the outside, and they can't protect them. The last thing they need to worry about is some guy messing with their family. Oh, there's a new guy, and he's a baby-raper? This will be fun.
