Inmate Fears Latinos

POSTED: 10:00 pm EDT September 22, 2007

A federal judge in Johnstown has rejected a request by a white inmate who wanted the judge to enforce a more mixed racial population at a private prison. Inmate Rudolph P. Keszthelyi wanted the judge to stop the Moshannon Valley Correction Center from accepting Latino inmates.

The private jail, near Phillipsburg, is run by Cornell Company of Houston, Texas, which contracts with the federal prison system. The company's Web site says the prison houses mostly criminal aliens.

The inmate says the high concentration of aliens makes for a volatile situation for white inmates, which is causing him severe emotional distress.

But a judge says the inmate couldn't prove that was causing him irreparable harm and rejected his request for an injunction. The judge says courts aren't supposed to make day-to-day administrative decisions for prisons.

If being in prison weren't bad enough, imagine being surrounded by MS-13 gang members, the Mexican mafia etc. I don't envy this guy.
