According to my father who spent five in state and six in federal (interstate transport of narcotics, in prison from '72-'82), no-- a prisoner will get raped or beaten depending on who he is and what he can do, not on what he was convicted of.

I never understood where that particular myth came from or when it started, but that's what it is-- a myth (at least in Huntsville State Prison and FCI, both in TX).

On the other hand, if people want to see this guy punished, he will be if he does state time. Regardless of what he was convicted of, if he doesn't know how to take care of huimself, he's either dead or someone's girlfriend before long.
