Why do prison inmates get ostracized for certain crimes?

August 8th, 2009
Toni asked:


It makes sense that a crime that makes big news that is a particularly heinous crime would cause that inmate to get ostracized in prison, because it’s in the news.

However, some inmates commit ugly crimes that would not make big time news – so why would they get ostracized? How do other inmates know what crime they committed?

What luxuries do inmates have in prison that you know of?

I’ve seen documentary shows where the inmates had cable television! I understand allowing prisoners to do things that may prepare them for life out in the real world (getting their GED, reading, learning how to cook, etc.). But sometimes I think it just gets ridiculous!
