The 44-year-old homeless man is accused of violently mugging both 101-year-old Rose Morat and octogenarian Solange Elizee on March 4.
A police source said Rhodes was initially kept in a private cell because plenty of prisoners "would like to take a pop at him."

In theory, yes he should go to general population. But if you have ever worked or currently work in such a facility, you would understand why he isn't there. Fights can lead to a lot of problems, it can cause an entire block to riot leading to a riot of the entire facility. It is often safer for the general population to be kept separate from such a person for the sake of everyone involved. Law suits are very common and it's not just the attacker or the person attacked that become involved. All the corrections officers, weather working or not, and the facility administration are often named in these law suits. Personally, I'd rather keep him in solitary if it means keeping my butt out of court on a civil suit!

Who is supposed to be in charge in prisons? The ones who dole out the punishment are the ones who are in charge. Dont pawn that off on the in-mates. Theyre not there to exert power over anyone or to rehab anyone, they are all there for a reason and should not control the fates of others.
That attitude is exactly what is making our prisons so ineffective. Rather than the guards controlling the program and straightening people out, it is being done by other criminals. The same ones that are also teaching inmates other crimes.
Force and fear are power, sometimes the only power people understand. Dont promote giving more power to the in-mates.

While it sounds good to do that you should think about something else. If someone did take a pop at him and he dies some family member that couldnt be bothered to help him would pop out of the woodwork to sue.

I think the first day he goes to jail the guards should turn there heads and say I think this is his cell and bubba should be there waiting for him to beat him like his parents never did when he was young till blood comes out every part of his body!!!

As a prisoner, he should receive no special treatment. Inmate segregation is a ridiculous concept. It sadly does need to be done due to the state's obligation to keeping their inmates safe.

Another case of overprotecting the prisoner's right and safety of prisoners, and the lack of concern for the victim.

He should be in general population. He is no one special nor is he in any more danger there than any other prisoner. I "would like to take a pop at him" myself.
