Long ago on Reddit I read a comment about inmates beating up on child sex offenders partly because it's a sick thing to do and partly because they don't want them to get the slightest foothold of influence over another inmate. They thrive on exerting power over weaker individuals and manipulating them.

I've heard at least one story of an inmate getting a longer prison sentences for actually killing at least one or more pedos in the same jail as him. I'm not a fan of prison violence, but that is something I could turn a blind eye to.
