AP EXCLUSIVE: MANY SEX OFFENDERS KILLED IN CALIFORNIA PRISON
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Shortly after 2 a.m. on April 6, 2010, a guard at Salinas Valley State Prison noticed Alan Ager's cellmate trying to stuff something under a mattress. It was Ager, blood trickling from his mouth and a cloth noose tied around his neck.
The convicted child molester died 10 days later without regaining consciousness, his death earning his cellmate a second life sentence.
California state prisoners are killed at a rate that is double the national average - and sex offenders like Ager account for a disproportionate number of victims, according to an Associated Press analysis of corrections records.
For his sake I hope he is innocent.

My girl had one go down two weeks back, where she works. Got beaten to death by two guys who knew what he'd be previously convicted for.
