A small example of public's attitude can be seen in prison rape jokes, both in real life casually and in media/movies. Most people just look at cons as less than humans, even the non-violent ones. And then we have media "personalities" like Nancy Grace who make a mockery of the system.

The acceptance and expectation that we can give a child molester a prison sentence so the prison population can kill him is demented. But it seems we routinely give them an official slap on the wrist, then with a wink and a nod we turn the other way and say "do what you will". If child molestation deserves the death sentence, then our system of government should do it outright, instead of relying on the undercurrents of justice.
