Why are rapists and pedophiles targets of violence in jail?

Every single Pedophile and rapist is inhuman and a over half the percent of people in prison are in for drug related crimes but that doesn't make them inhuman. Human beings feel the need to take it upon their own hands to distribute justice.

After they ran out of milk-bomb munitions while he sat there and took like this happens everyday because it does, one of the attackers says "if someone did that to my kids, I'll do the 20 years for murder. It's totally worth it."

The guys with kids can't help but make that personal connection. Young, single guys, in my experience don't really care. The pedos are kept separate from everyone else (until you learned how to break into the lunch slot). In the way Aunt Sally "knows how you feel" I guess I can see how you can just stew, knowing your can't be there for your kids while living across the hall from a child predator. Seems like textbook psychology to me.

because even criminals have standards.

A high majority of prisoners suffered a bad childhood - that's how they get that way in the first place - that's mainly why the inmates set on peds as it's similar to instinct

As the inmates attacking rapists : I class them all as bad as each other as any unprevoked attack is extremely bad and as the holy bible says in psalm 22:11 - don't set on a innocent person otherwise will thrown into the pit and prison is their pit

--- partly agree with the other answers as well

A lot of criminals were abused as children, and hold a grudge.

Also, it gives them a target that nobody will disagree with.

Because paedophiles usually target innocent helpless children and rapist males target weaker female victims,do you see the pattern. They both violate the victims and nobody takes kindly to scumbags like that!

All nonces are given serious retribution....

Nonces =a person convicted of a sexual offense, especially child molesting.

Most prisoners have women chasing them like flies on crap. Many have children and babies mama's. To think there is a man who can not convice a woman to not only give him sex but pay for the sex and support him, then he is not a man. Any man who molest a child is not a man and according to the bible, death is the punishment.

Many people in jail were sexually molested as kids.

The Prisoners making it a sport, know that No One Cares. So it is easy meat.
