Are sex offenders the worst treated prisoners in prisons around the world?

Anyone who committed treason or some other crime against the United States (like terrorism) has problems.

Back when there was a draft, I remember hearing draft dodgers were prime targets in prison. Hey, they may be felons, but a lot of convicts are patriotic too.

I find this surprising (not that I don’t believe you). I’d have assumed that convicts were against the system that sent them to prison in the first place.

Back in the 1960s and early 1970s, a lot of convicts were WWII and Korean War vets, and they really did not like draft dodgers.

No cite, but IIRC a Doper who works in corrections once said this was a myth and that generally prisoners don’t particularly care what others are in for.

That’s what I’ve heard, more or less. No cite here, either, however. Bar chatter.
