Felony Friday - The Devil's Playground
Added 2021-04-15 23:47:46 +0000 UTCPeople often describe a vastly complicated social contract within the walls of prisons, both formal and informal - including the protection of allies. 29-year-old petty criminal Adam Kargus entered Elgin-Middlesex Detention Center in October of 2013 - hopeful that an acquaintance with whom he shared a mutual friend would offer him protection after he had been severely beaten on multiple occasions prior. But upon meeting his supposed “friend” and new cellmate, Anthony George, Adam Kargus quickly discovered that the only code George would ultimately uphold in this maximum security facility - was the code of violence.

Incredibly embarrassing for every single Canadian. I am ashamed of our prison system. We don't hear about it enough so it's easy for us to push the state of these institutions to the back of our minds. We are soft on true evil and hard on petty criminals and addicts. Maximum security for this kid but Paul Bernardo is in medium? Right...
