It does not look like Jerry Sandusky is going to have a very easy time of it while in prison. Bummer!

Courtesy of The Daily:  

Other prisoners were barred from communicating directly with Sandusky, but they could see him. And when the lights went out, inmates serenaded the disgraced coach with a famous line from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” 

“At night, we were singing ‘Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone,’ ” Josh said, adding that everyone knew who Sandusky was because inmates had access to television and newspapers. The jail can hold 349 inmates.

I have to imagine that having a bunch of inmates serenade him is soon going to be the LEAST of Sandusky's problems. Child molesters are often targeted by other inmates and if he is sent into general population I don't think it will turn out well for the 68 year old rapist.

On a somewhat unrelated note guess who has something in common with the Centre County Correctional Facility prisoner? Bristol Palin, that's who!

Apparently according to the Huffington Post, both a note that Sandusky wrote to one of his victims and Bristol's ghostwritten book, share the same 1910 quote from Theodore Roosevelt.

Here is the quote from Sandusky's mash note to victim #4: Teddy Roosevelt -- The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena -- whose face is marked by dust, heat, and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best if he wins knows the thrills of high achievement and if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. 

It's your song, your choices, your life. Id like to feel a small part of it and will be there, if you want. I have believed and stuck up for you.

And here it is as it showed up on the dedication page of the paperback release of "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far:"

To all you underdogs 

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Now we all know that Bristol did not actually write her book, and it is even less likely that she chose a 1910 quote from Theodore Roosevelt for her dedication page, but how eery is it that the quote shows up in a letter from a rapist to his victim, as well as in a book that spends a number of its pages accusing an ex-lover of BEING a rapist?

I am not one to read too much into a coincidence, but I have to admit that THIS one made the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up.
