When I was in high school, my psychology class took a field trip to the Bridgewater State Prison. One of the things that the inmates told us is that the guys behind bars have no respect for two types of people, guys that beatup their women, and guys that molest little children. One of the guys said that usually after a couple of months, the new guy usually has to go in to solitary confinement not because he's done something wrong, but for his own protection.
