Will (White/Priviledge) Scott Peterson be safe on Death Row?

[Common Sense]

Convicted wife and unborn baby killer and newly condemed (Mon 12/13/04) Scott Perterson....Is he safe on Death Row?

[Silencioso]

No, he won't be safe because he's a high progile baby and woman killer. His race has nothing to do with it. In fact it'll probably be whites that go after him.

[mickgreen58]

Im not sure if this question can be answered by anybody here and it may depend on which prison he goes to but..

When you are on death row arent you away from general population?

[Common Sense]

I would assume that they are basically in protective custody?????

true. baby/women murderer of any race won't last no matter who you are. i don't think he'll be safe because anyway you look at it, it = death for him.

[BlaKK]

Actually Scott Peterson has Two options, and eitehr way he is protected. If he becomes part of Jail Protection Programs, he will be hel in confinment from the rest of the inmates but the same benfits (Not Many) as any other inmate.
Second option is if he is not put under Jail Protection Programs and he is pronounced as a regular inmate. He will Have the protection of WHite Gang Leaders. I know youre like, Nah hommie what goes around comes around in the cells" True True True, If they know he killed a baby theyll kill him as well, (Thats how the prison system operates within) But the money he will be recieving from other sources (Prison cannot restrict that) will be dispursed unto the Gang or leader that is Providin his wellbieng and security. But rest assured, He will not be treated with hostility once locked up. But theyll rather embrace him. Knowing the importance of his Prison Donations.

[ROOJOJR]

Peterson will never hit main. He is on death row. And that BS about white prison gang leaders protecting him aint going to happen. Every wood I know would sell his soul to torpedo his ass. So He stays alive for a few years on the row.

[Common Sense]

In a weird way, I think he is going to get an out pour of supporters outside of his family that maybe watching the prison regarding his safety.

Just a hunch.

Would it make a difference to those whites the fact that Laci had hispanic blood in her?

[Common Sense]

I thought Laci was puro latina. She was pretty.

"ROCHA" was the maiden name, that is why I asked the question.

someone posted an interesting question from another forum:

"i was watching a show this morning about San Quentin's death row (scott peterson's new home) and they were talking about how they were going to have to protect him from the other inmates etc.....and i have just never understood why prisoners are so mean to each other? why are they always fighting and trying to kill each other? i realize that these people are violent to begin with but it just seems like there would be more of a sense of comraderie and teamwork amonst them....i mean you are already locked up...it seems like it would make the time alot easier if they would make friends with each other doesn't it? wishful thinking i suppose...i just don't get it."

[Lonewolf]

I suppose is what they do best and its fun, what do they got to lose?
IN FOR A DIME - IN FOR A DOLLAR.

THEY BECOME THE ENFORCERS OF SOCIETY'S DARK SIDE.

[Invincible]

another interesting post to think about:

"- nobody is condemning them... they don't need too.. they have condemned themselves. Grow up and smell the coffee. They took advantage of someone else, that's why they are in there... I have to discipline myself and respect others in this world, so do they.... why should they have a get out of jail free card, or special privileges? Ignorance is no excuse for the law... if you are bad, you loose privileges. People need to take responsibility for their own actions, or suffer the consequences, and that's the stone-cold truth. If you want to go and play mother Teresa, just don't come crying when you get taken."

[Common Sense]

San Quentin say's there could be inmates that want to harm Scott Peterson, but they are going to do whatever they can to protect him. They say they already have a system in place for situations like this.

[Lonewolf]

One thing for sure is that he won't be going fishing anymore

[Invincible]

just don't drop the soap, keep a firm grip on the soap.

[Kemosave]

I heard money matters but how hard you are that really counts. It's human nature.. a punk is a punk and a mark is a mark magnified times ten inside the joint.

Now I cannot agree with the way a typical inmate is treated in jail or prison in California. I want a safe state (the real reason a violent offender convicted is locked up to begin with though most inmates are not violent offenders a fact that the media seems to omit in their presentation to John and Jane citizen) but if I dream for a second then I want to see a safe penal system geared towards rehabilitation. My dream is just a dream but this crap of prison officials (who just got a big raise in CA) using the "gorillas" and the dangerous criminals to keep the rest in line is a travesty of justice in my opinion. Well I'm up here on a soapbox preaching for the positive again.. sigh.

[Invincible]

I heard that they actually tried the rehabilitation model in the seventies or sometime in the past and it failed because most criminals would still commit crimes once they got out and go back in.

[Invincible]

actually my uncle's brother or it might have been cousin was convicted of rape (prostitute sopposevly lied and made him get arrested) and did some degree when they still offered free college degrees in prison.

[C_Ridah253]

IF HE REALLY DID DO IT THEN I DONT THINK HE SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE GAURDS.

[1111§]

Honestly, do you think it matters if he´s killed by the government or by some inmates?He´s already gone..

[JONES]

no matter what you all say,i would love to see him suffer.i think the guards will place bets on inmats that have nothing to loose.if you have a life sentence with no chance to get free,what you got to loose.i say throw him in the shower room and let him have it raw up the ass with no lube.MAKE THAT MOTHERF_CKER SUFFER.LEAVE HIS ASS FOR DEAD.I SAW THIS CAUSE I LOVE MY WOMAN AND CHILDREN.F-CK SCOTT PETERSON

some good insight.....well said.

Yep...

And these same people are the ones who were pissed when O.J. got off...

Talk about a double standard...

[TheLord]

If he was black, they would've let him go.

Just look at OJ.

[Common Sense]

If he was black, they would've let him go..

Well if that was the case, most of the prison's whould be mainly white people and not black. You don't have to worry about blacks not receiving their share of the justice system.

Just look at OJ.

Some people get convicted and some people get off. That's our court system. More whites over the course of history have gotton off versus other ethnic groups. I guess it was O.J.'s turn????

Secondly...Scott Peterson didn't have enough money, and he lost the female sympathy/popularity vote.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Their going to keep Sott Peterson away from the booty bandits so he is going to be pretty safe until of couse they give him the needle.

[Common Sense]

He may not get a needdle for 10-15 years. How long can you keep someone safe?

Then again thinking about Charles Manson, he's been safe for years.

[Kemosave]

Common Sense, the word is he's been attacked, sodomized, and messed with pretty hard over the years. Some here have said "the Devil just won't die." My point: he's probably not right person to try and draw that analogy to.

[Invincible]

Well if that was the case, most of the prison's whould be mainly white people and not black. You don't have to worry about blacks not receiving their share of the justice system.

there could be two other explanations against that theory. one is that whites are too pussy to commit crimes and too much afraid of authority + police, and not enough gangs in white neighboorhoods (even blue collar ones or trailer parks) to recruit white gang bangers to commit crimes. And another is that as a percentage more whites are rich or wealthy than minorities so they have less incentive to commit crimes and live in neighboorhoods free of crime. Although whites are 70 % of the population only 7% live below the poverty line which would still put them as the most poor white group in voerall numbers. I think whites make up like 50% of the prison population so a bit mroe than other races except possibly blacks who go to jail in an astronomical number.

[Invincible]

actually at 50% whites still do make up majority of prison population, but I'm not shure what level or security they make up and whether federal or state prisons etc.

Here is info about federal prisoners:
http://www.bop.gov/fact0598.html#Race

"INMATES BY RACE

White: 101,955 (56.5%)

Black: 72,433 (40.2%)

Asian: 2,890 (1.6%)

Native
American: 3,040 (1.7%)

ETHNICITY

Hispanic: 57,863 (32.1%)"


From:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/jailrace.htm

"Between 1990 and 2003, the number of white and Hispanic jail inmates increased at the same average annual rate. The number black inmates increased at a slower pace."
