For the third time in two months, an inmate has died in suspicious circumstances at a Toronto jail. Kevon Philip, 24, died in hospital Saturday afternoon after corrections officers found him unconscious at the Toronto (Don) Jail. The media reports I heard spoke about "obvious signs of trauma" -- he was beaten to death presumably by other inmates.
What is most troubling here, at least to me, is the sense that there is a breakdown of order at the jail. I have spoken to inmates who have told me there are areas where the guards "don't go". Now, I will admit to being very cautious about accepting what inmates tell me but maybe this time it's true?

I have long wondered why we set up prisons in such a way that the prisoners socialize and interact with each other.
They are basically being exposed to the worst possible role models. Yes, people need human contact, but this contact should be limited to people who are good role models, not bad ones (and certainly, not ones that kill them).
