    If you murder a high-profile child murderer or paedophile, you can establish yourself as a dangerous man. That has some value.”

    I don’t think that’s the reason for killing pedos. Rather the fact that this adult has hurt or abused a child. Those criminals have always been a target. Nothing new as far as I know.

    Everyone has something to lose.

    For a prisoner doing 40 years,they lose their opportunity to leave their cell. They lose access to luxury goods like tvs.

    Eventually they get put in solitary confinement…
