Child molester killed in Salinas state prison

One way to stop a child molester:

A 30-year-old child molester is dead after being killed at Salinas Valley State Prison in Soledad.

Lt. Eric Moore of the prison said Donald Jones was assaulted by a group of prisoners Friday morning in the general population maximum-security yard.

I'm really glad to see California not wasting more tax payer money by giving child molesters special treatment in prison. Why should they be protected from the general population?

He was pronounced dead about 90 minutes later. Prison officers recovered a stabbing weapon at the scene.

Jones had been in the facility since 1995, serving a 20-year sentence out of Los Angeles County for sodomy on a child under 14.

Authorities said six men are suspected in Jones' death. They already are serving sentences for convictions that include second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and kidnapping.

Really, what did they have to loose?
