So now you're a mental health expert Rhyner?  Aside from that, see my post above regarding who is responsible for the care of individuals who have been deprived of their liberty for any reason.  And by the way it is not unusual for an inmate to have a crime perpetrated against him ( or her), not only by other inmates but by DOC.  That makes him or her a victim.  Alaska doesn't have the death penalty, nor should it.  No one deserves to die from neglect while in the state's care; no one.
