* Contrary to belief, [[PaedoHunt child molesters]] and [[TheInformant snitches]] are not the only prisoners targeted by inmates and guards. (In this case, this is definitely '''not''' a case of EvenEvilHasStandards.)
** The LGBTIQ suffer **heavily** in prison, in which due to the infamously homophobic sentiment shared among guards and prisoners alike, they are seen as below even the worst of the child molesters, to the point where a common hoax circulated around the DoubleStandardMaleRapeOnMale trope was that the perpetrator in prisons was gay. More LGBTIQ people were killed by prisoners and guards than informants and child molesters
** People with liberal-leaning (or are activists for civil rights) are seen by many prisons of many stripes as "traitors" to the "race" (thus feeding into the extremely bigoted environment of prison) and are frequently the target of PrisonRape and/or lynchings. However, many activists willing to go into prison in a hope to further advance progress on social issues would often realize how ill-informed the decision was due to the extreme anti-liberalism in prisons and would often either leave with no way of employment (leading to terrorism or suicide) or get killed in prison.
** A quadriplegic prisoner was sentenced to 10 years in prison for manslaughter, with no way of fending for themselves in prison. So what did the guards do? ''They pulled the prisoner from his wheelchair, thrown him onto the ground'' '''''and leaving him behind for the prisoners to lynch and eviscerate him!''''' A journalist who had reported on the incident was later arrested, thrown into the same prison and suffered the same fate. And that was in '''''[[DeathWorld USA]]'''''
** And just about any person with intellectual beliefs, or have no incentive for violence are seen as "worse" than informants and child molesters, due to them being seen as complete "cowards" who are "defenseless". Despite the obvious disparity in deaths, informants and child molesters disproportionately make up most of the [[PariahPrisoner Pariah Prisoners]] in media and news.

* Pedophile priest John Geoghan was murdered by Joseph Druce, who was serving a life sentence for murder (and now serving a [[LongerThanLifeSentence second life sentence]] for Geoghan's death). It was suggested at the time that Druce killed Geoghan to gain prestige in the prison hierarchy.
* Jeffrey Dahmer was killed by Christopher Scarver in 1994 while serving barely three years into his multiple life sentence. He was declared mentally competent to answer for his crimes, thus placed in the general population. What is notable about this incident is that Dahmer was white while Scarver is black.

To cross racial barriers on such an issue is a violation of prison politics, regardless of the end justifying the means. However, Dahmer was considered an acceptable exception due to the fact that as a white serial killer, the majority of his victims were black men.
