Death by inmate: multiple murder in a maximum security prison

Article Abstract:

Prison overcrowding, prisoner psychopathology and ethnicity are factors which contribute to inmates murdering other inmates. Analysis of the murders of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and a fellow inmate by a third prisoner reflect these factors. The psychological makeup of the victims and killer was the primary cause of the murders, but prison overcrowding should also be considered when placing individuals in maximum security facilities.
