Exhibit 6: Child sex abuse
Related to sex trafficking is child sex abuse. This ranks among the vilest of sins committed by society. Even in prison, the inmates consider child molesters worthy of death and often take the matter into their own hands.
Though prison officials in some Northeastern states question the idea of an automatic social hierarchy among prisoners based solely upon their offenses, most agree that if there is one, child molesters and informants derided as “snitches” occupy the lowest rungs.“Once their crime has become known, they usually don’t make it” without protective custody

“Chomo” is prison slang for a child molester and, inmates and officers often claim, they are at the absolute bottom of the implied prison hierarchy.Chomos are definitely bottom, then snitches are targeted after them. Drug dealers, white-collar, common folk, the former inmate said. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) talks a good game, but you won’t ever provide a safe haven for a chomo in custody.
Two months earlier, Clinton Don Simpson who was accused a decade earlier of abusing more than a dozen children in his backyard was killed at the age of 76 by a fellow prisoner in Texas. In May 2018, an inmate in California jail killed an accused pedophile telling authorities that it was his “public service.”
