Only he's been getting beaten by gaurds on a daily basis and is looking to channel some of that anger out onto someone else. He comes from a broken home and was raised in poverty up until he was a lil older. Started making money the only way he really knew how, because he wasnt given all the oppurtunities at a education that most are but he wants to try an provide for his GF and child (that he is missing..cause just cause someone is locked up doesnt mean they are emotionless).
He also happens to be about 6'4 and 220 pounds of muscle cause all he's been doing for the last year is eating and doing as many pushups and crunches and squats that he possibly can to block out the regret he has for the mistake he made, the pain of being beaten every day, avoiding gang rape in the shower, getting shanked, and wondering and worring about his family every day, along with a million other daily stresses that you have in jail or prison. He had never been in trouble in the past for any kind of violent crime or had a mean bone in his body. Till he was encarcerated and beaten daily for days,months,years.

Now...do you have the same outlook all alone in a cell with this guy as you do typing your tough guy attitude on an internet forum about his situation? Or would you rather that maybe different measures had been taken to rehabilitate this man who was'nt an angry out for blood convict until he went to jail/prison.
