In the same cell -- and on opposite sides of murder case

“I crawled on the floor by Ira because he was choking on his blood, he was gurgling.”

With his eyes black and swollen from a jailhouse beating, Steven Hawkins took the stand Friday to testify against the man he says attacked him for fingering him in a murder. via Star Tribune

So much for the idea that dangerous inmates are not mixed with non-violent. I knew it was not true but others thought differently. I have heard the stories of murderers being in the same cell with first time offenders. They use it for a scare tactic I think. Dumb. They know they can't watch them every second. Some of these people are career criminals and won't think twice about hurting someone else, they are spending their lives in prison anyway. We need to stop thinking of people who get put in jail as all a bunch of hardened criminals. We are creating criminals everyday by letting them intermingle and corrupt each other.
