Officials from Wasco State Prison-Reception Center (WSP-RC) and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office are investigating the death of an inmate as a homicide. The inmate, whose name is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin, was found dead in his cell about 5:50 p.m. October 10, 2011.
The 50-year-old inmate was received at WSP-RC from San Luis Obispo County on June 23, 2011, as a parole violator with a new term for failure to register as a sex offender. He received a 2-year sentence.
Joseph Son, 40, has been identified as a suspect in the case. Son was received at WSP-RC from Orange County on September 16, 2011, on a life sentence with the possibility of parole for torture.

So the guy that died failed to register as a sex offender? Wouldn't that mean he was either a Rapist himself, a child molester, or something along those lines? And he was going after Son because he was a rapist? What? My only regret is Son is still breathing

Technically urinating in public can get you on a sex offender list, so he could have been required to register for any number of lesser crimes.

The warden should just let these guys go at it. It would solve a lot of my state's economic issues. Don't worry about Joe Son. Some inmate is planning his death as we speak.
On a serious note, the prison system is the most failed system in all of Law Enforcement. For the most part, the police system do their job to bring in the criminals to face justice and the judicial system do their job to convict the criminals. The prison system, on the other hand, ends up creating repeat and more violent offenders.

Not to mention the ones who are drug offenders getting caught with personal use and getting plenty of time to harden and get their psychies fucked.

I agree on that. Why try and treat someones problem? Just toss em in jail with no attempt at treatment or counseling and they'll come out with the same problem `and` a chip on their shoulder. That's how we operate.

A lot of people are predispoitioned to crime by genetics etc. Not to mention the ones who are drug offenders getting caught with personal use and getting plenty of time to harden and get their psychies fucked.
