So last week Dylann Roof, the guy who murdered nine people in a church in Charleston, was beaten up in prison by a man called Dwayne Stafford.
Roof had bruises on his face and back but wasn't kept in prison hospital or anything severe like that.
Stafford, despite being an armed robber currently in prison on strong-armed robbery and first-degree assault charges, was hailed as something of a hero.
Incredibly, people thought Stafford was so much of a hero that they set up a donation page for him the day after the attack.
And even more incredibly, he's been able to pay the $100,000 bail after serving just 18 months of his sentence. The source of the cash is unclear.
It's a bit of a dangerous precedent to be setting, helping violent criminals get out of jail because they assaulted even worse violent criminals in prison, but it's happening anyway.
The last thing America needs is violent people assaulting public enemies in prison just to get themselves out.
