I don't understand it either. But perhaps (and this is probably a stretch) it is to serve as a deterrent to the other inmates. Given Angola's notorious reputation as, well, Angola, and the fact that these two allegedly murdered a prison guard--it isn't inconceivable that a vindictive move like this one was played by the state. The logic being, you kill one of our guards and we'll lock you up and throw away the key.

That seems reasonable - when guards are tried for kidnapping when it's discovered that their prison was holding an innocent.

That logic is all fine and good but that murder was in fact never proven in a fair trial which is the whole problem here.
