It’s disturbing to read that more sex offenders are killed in California prisons. Violence and vigilantism are always wrong. No one should ever take justice into his or her own hands.

The safety of anyone in state custody should be guaranteed, whether she’s a battered child or he’s a convicted offender.

Some defense lawyers will use these troubling numbers to try to keep their child molesting colleagues out of prison. We hope they fail. Judge and juries must remember that the safety of innocent kids must always come first. And kids are safer when child molesters are locked up.
