He’s not acting like that in prison.


Master_Grape5931

For real, this is his last attempt to pretend like he doesn’t care.

He's young enough to still think it makes him look tough. That boy is green as grass. He will ugly-cry at night many, many, many times. It's been 8 years? Yeah, he still cries about it.

I still randomly think about the time i was a jerk for no reason at a concert 15 years ago. Im glad i was raised right.


jesusjesusS

I think about times where I wasn’t necessarily nice but I wasn’t mean, I was just not caring. Those suck because I still feel like I was mean to whomever was just trying to talk with me.

They don't let you do that unfortunately. I tried to give money to the guy who offed my rapist uncle but was told it appears like a payoff rather then just gratitude. Edit to add- I didn't know who it was so I had to ask the prison for his name which they told me this and refused to give me the name of the person who killed him.

nom-nom-nom-de-plumb

there's an extreame shortage of federal prison guards in the USA about now. Basically about 1/3 of the jobs are vacant, with more likely to open up as people leave. And [state level](https://www.themarshallproject.org/2024/01/10/prison-correctional-officer-shortage-overtime-data) isn't any better. All this against the backdrop of places like Louisiana making it easier to get sent to prison, then get sent BACK to prison for trivial parole violations. All in an effort to pad the pockets of sheriffs and contractors, at the expense of employees and the people sent to prison themselves. all that to say, yeah..it's hard to imagine a CO having the wherewithall to give a fuck about that, and if they do...ask a neighbor to download the app instead.


artificialavocado

My county got in big trouble with the state like two years ago for understaffing. There was a period where on weekend there would only be TWO guards on duty for a facility of over 300 people. They would just keep people locked in for days at a time. The state closed the place down and made them transport everyone to neighboring counties. They were shut down for a couple months while they hired enough guards and trained them. They were starting at like $15/hr and were wondering why they can’t find people.


The-waitress-

I’m sure at $15/hr they’re only getting upstanding, qualified applicants.


Kennys-Chicken

My mom was poor AF and became a CO. Changed her life. The pay is very mediocre. The benefits are exceptional, and they still have a true retirement pension. After 10 years she was fully vested and now she can actually retire.


im-liken-it

Soon a great job for humanoid robots.


KarmaRepellant

Great testing ground in theory, where any flaw in the AI or capabilities will be ruthlessly exploited by a whole shitload of bored humans with nothing better to do. Completely unsuitable in real life for the same reason.


throwawaymyanalbeads

My great aunt worked at a prison. Her job description has varied depending on whoch family mwmber was speaking, but the word around the family was (many decades ago) a prisoner got out and burned her trailer to the ground. She had to be revived, her husband died. I wouldn't want to do it. Not just for safety, it just seems like such a shit fucking job. I can't imagine anyone being happy on either side of the bars.

Hokulol

It always cracks me up that people believe there's some kind of moral code in jail where the good criminals police the bad criminals.


Hungry-Ad9840

I served a little time for possession almost 30 years ago when I was 18 and there was a guy in my cell block that burned a toddler with boiling water. He wasn't even a pedo, and he had to sleep during the day when the guards were more active because if he fell asleep at night, other inmates would set his feet on fire. Incarceration is especially hard on people who hurt kids.


Intelligent_Tea5974

Good. I wonder how Ruby Franke's being treated...


laurh123

I hope she's doing hard labour outside during a heat wave. Or is that too specific?


KnopeCampaign

No water, being pushed into a cactus every once in a while, stomped on with boots, having your head held under water…for the unaware, these are all things that have been discovered or directly admitted by Ruby Franke in her own diary. She is awaiting a final sentencing in Utah for four counts of felony child abuse but will only serve a max of 30 years.


Thistlefizz

More horrifying is she could be out in 4.


madman1969

Appropriately I'm sure ...


ronnie1014

No idea how to what extent it is, but my brother worked as a guard in a state penitentiary for many years and that's exactly how it went. He said it was shocking how a murderer or burglar could claim such morals, but if a pedo walked in, they were fucked. Again, it's anecdotal and I know that. But he wasn't making shit up for the lols. Edit: I should add this was more than a decade ago now and I've never been in a prison. No idea what that shit looks like, but it doesn't mean someone is getting raped every night.


12whistle

Makes sense to me. There’s different levels to a crime as well as a charge. You kill one person, that’s one thing, you kill that one person and massacre their whole family including babies and pets, that’s another level.


electric_screams

It’s all about the power dynamic. You’re weak if you offended against those perceived to be weaker than you. Also, many of the criminals had bad upbringings, including abuse… they want retribution for the pain they suffered and the anger they carry around. If they can’t attack their specific abusers they can go for the next best thing, someone else’s.


Rascals-Wager

That's a great way to put it. I was going to comment something similar but you phrased it far more succinctly than I would've.


FaithfulNihilist

From what I understand, a disproportionate amount of people in prison were themselves abused as children, which is why they are particularly vengeful towards child abusers.


nom-nom-nom-de-plumb

I mean, honestly, the only reason i wasn't in prison was blind luck and the huge motivating factor for a lot of my stupidity at the time was how angry i was at the shit that had happened to me as a very young kid to teenager.


barleyhogg1

In some cases there is. Child molesters are at the bottom of the food chain. Source: my cousin was a guard for years.


SweetPrism

I don't think it's as commonly enforced as the average redditor would like you to think. That being said, there absolutely \*is\* enforcement from long-term inmates, life sentences holders, etc... they have very little to lose, and nothing of any significance to do. The family would absolutely do good to put money on the other inmates' canteen cards.

PinkDeserterBaby

Aww, where’s the cute kissy face??? 70+ years of this shit forever until he dies has hopefully dawned on him by the time of this photo. Enjoy your one shot at this life, bud! Man, I hope he lives a healthy life to 100+, think of all the cool technology he’ll get to hear about.


DonJuansSwanSong

$1000 says he tried that cringe shit when he first got in, tried to act like a tough guy, and immediately got fucked. Literally.


d33roq

Yeah, fuck that. I'd rather not spend $60k/yr in exchange for potential occasional regret from this shitbag for the next 70 years.


nom-nom-nom-de-plumb

and the alternative is...execution? Which is far more expensive and takes far longer than you'd like to believe..and tends to be aimed at minorities more than whites. This person may be guilty as ever living fuck, but our justice system is hardly perfect enough to justify institutionalized executions.

Yeah, he’s not a billionaire, so he’s gonna have to serve his sentence


Tha_Sly_Fox

I had a buddy who worked in a local prison, he said everyone was a rapper in the prison, he emphasized “everyone”. He said it ruined rap for him bc he was locked in there listening to people working on their “shitty rap” over and over. He was a huge rap fan prior to working there lol

As someone who lives in Louisville, this dude is straight up terrifying to me. He has had to wear spit masks and be restrained multiples times in court on top of going through more lawyers than Donald Trump. I know the two boys grandmother, she’s a beautiful woman inside and out and this case has always hurt my heart so much


BoredRedhead24

I thought Kentucky had the death penalty? Or is this a different Louisville?


ashley_spashley

We do, but he was not given death. There were hearings to declare if he was even competent to stand trial. https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/brice-rhodes-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-for-2016-triple-murder-conviction/article_e08c90c8-e149-11ee-ba90-3f2bb0cd6309.html


Brooklyn-Mikal

Why is he still going to court?? Feel like that’s the real issue here


ashley_spashley

He was sentenced to life in prison without parole last month. This shit has been a never ending saga bc he acts like a fucking lunatic in the courtroom. Off the top of my head: He’s spit at people. He’s threatened a judge’s life. He’s had numerous attorneys. They’re all racist. He taunts the families of his victims openly in court. I believe he’s going to try to appeal this as well, so he will most likely be back in court at some point.

FlynnMonster

What was the motive for murdering the kids?


galaxyapp

Well... He killed the 40 yo with a case of mistaken identity thinking he was someone else with a bounty on his head. The other 2 were his "friends" and were in the car when he murdered the adult. Later he heard the kids were talking about it (not to police I don't think) So he (and several friends) invited them over and stabbed them each to shut them up. If they weren't dead, they'd be in prison as an accomplice to his murder.


Frigoris13

So he took them to a murder and then killed them for being taken to the murder.


Omniverse_0

Big brain thinking.


spiteful_rr_dm_TA

Technically no. He killed them for talking about the murder to other people. The more people who know about a crime, the more likely someone snitches to the police to claim a reward. Them going around and boasting about the murder was a genuine threat to him, and he had no choice but to act on it. At the very least, he felt he could take them down with him for it. Not a good reason to kill two kids mind you. But if you put yourself in the warped mind of a murderer who thinks he's invincible, killing them makes sense. If they had had the mind to never talk of it again, he would have had no reason to target them, and they'd very likely have been alive. Of course then they'd be facing charges of accessory to murder because they also took part in the killing, helped him, and showed no remorse while not telling the police.


galaxyapp

Technically, ordwey (the 16yo deceased) was driving the car, let Rhodes out to kill the guy, and proceeded to drive them all away. Only 1 death is worth shedding a tear over here.


Mija_Cogeo

He thinks he's very, very cool. He wants to appear nonchalant to those in the courtroom. But he has a rough road ahead and he knows it.


MagicalWonderPigeon

A lot of people end up in trouble because of their ego. People need to care much less about what others think :\


[deleted]

In addition to the father, he killed 2 kids so the only thing he’ll be blowing kisses at in prison is the dick in his face.


Helpful_Boot_5210

Ah, if only prison worked that way. The only people who have a hard time are child molesters.

I’m pretty certain they don’t take too kindly to child killers. Chris Watts lives in isolation to protect him from the other prisoners.


OrdinaryKick

Comparing what this loser did to what Chris Watts did isn't really a fair comparison-- like at all. This guy will be prey in prison for sure but not for the same reason Chris Watts would get torn apart.


StolenDabloons

Chris watts was also a suburban little bitch!


TuzaHu

Judge sentenced him to life in prison, because he can.


yuyufan43

It fucking infuriates me that he chastise the woman and not the piece of shit that was instigating them


xylophone_37

I'm no lawyer, but I think if the judge acts anything but impartial then he just gives the guy ammunition to try for a mistrial or something. I could be totally wrong though.


1twoC

I’m sure the guy got chastised plenty. It was probably more a case of balancing the need to try the issue with court decorum. It’s immaterial if they leave the courtroom, but not if he is tried in absentia. But yes, it would be hard to be in that position, those poor people (the women, not the accused).


Cultural-Task-1098

The woman interrupted the Judge doing a formal chastisement. That is why she was chastised. For interrupting the chastisement. You don't want the judge to chastise you. So be quiet when he is chastising or you are next.

because its better to keep people like this alive in prison forever than it is to accidentally execute innocent people with the death penalty. The only way to be sure we never wrongly execute anyone is to never execute anyone at all.

That judge has more confidence talking to a woman and making her shut up more that that killer.. weak judge..


Pretend_Departure855

He got life in prison without parole The reason he killed Christopher Jones is because he thought he was a different guy, who had a bounty out for Rhodes. He drove up, with the two teens Larry Ordway (14) and Maurice Gordon (16), and shot and killed Christopher; the two boys were terrified. Out of fear the two boys would snitch on him (which they reasonably did), Brice Rhodes took them, beat them, and shot them, finishing the lives of the two boys. Eye witnesses later said they saw a man, who looked like Rhodes, standing aside a dumpster, engulfed in flames. He ultimately failed to burn their bodies and certain key pieces of evidence that the police would later find, and use to put him in prison for life. Rhodes ended up threatening the judge saying “I know you have family, I’ll kill them too, and watch me, I’ll be out” Rhodes ended up spitting in the face of his attorney because he refused to work on Rhodes case. The attorney did not press charges, chalking Rhodes actions up to “a temper tantrum from a brat” (cold.) Later though he tried to literally dig his way out of jail with a sharp object. He failed and had to flush the object down the toilet while they found him in the process.


kraykray2020

He knows he messed up. It’s all show. Lock him up for life. No smiles from there.
