What unfolded inside a county jail last week has left the entire state talking \u2014 not because of what happened, but why<\/em> it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A man accused of one of the most horrifying crimes imaginable \u2014 beating his own 2-day-old infant to death<\/strong> \u2014 was awaiting trial in a shared holding block. He had been kept isolated at first, but due to overcrowding, he was eventually placed with another inmate. Guards believed nothing would happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the moment his new cellmate learned what he was charged with<\/strong>, everything changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to inmates who heard the commotion, the cellmate asked a simple question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy are you in here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the man tried to lie, the cellmate pressed him. The truth came out \u2014 and within seconds, the entire block heard the sound of fists slamming against concrete walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several inmates later said they weren\u2019t surprised. Crimes against infants and children are considered the lowest of the low behind bars. And once his cellmate learned he had killed a newborn \u2014 a defenseless baby just two days old \u2014 the rage was instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guards rushed to break up the beating, but not before the man suffered a brutal dose of prison justice<\/strong>. Reports say he was left barely responsive, covered in bruises, and begging for help. Even officers said they had \u201cnever seen a reaction that fast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was transported to the medical wing, but the damage \u2014 both physical and reputation \u2014 is permanent. Word spreads fast in prison, and now every inmate knows exactly what he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And in a place where crimes against the innocent are never forgiven\u2026 his reckoning is just beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What unfolded inside a county jail last week has left the entire state talking \u2014 not because of what happened, but why it happened.
