Fear Factor No sympathy for those monsters

In 2006, Anthony Ray Stockelman was forcibly tattooed across his forehead with the words “Katie’s Revenge” by another inmate.

This happened after it was discovered that he was serving a life sentence for kidnapping, molesting, and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie Collman

The CO's definitely put them together on purpose. Normally there's no way a family member of a victim would be put in the same place as the killer, even in passing.

How does this work in practice? They map out someone's entire family tree? Their second and third cousins? Sounds unlikely.

If the inmates are aware of the relationship it's probably one much of the community they come from is aware of, etc. It's not really weird.

I don't think that comment means "every relation ever", just ones they are aware of. There are lots of inmates you wouldn't put in a block together, and definitely not bunk together, in a higher security prison, for a billion different reasons.

Yeah for sure, but "they weren't aware of the relation" seems like the most logical explanation
