So, in that context, let me say this: Prison is uber scary and you don't have any way of saying that last statement with any certainty. It actually makes you look really, really stupid. I know way different.
Unless he's in solitary, he's not "safe" (and even then he's not safe). You don't go to prison to be safe or out of danger. It is literally hell on earth. Every day. Pretty sure there's a target on him, based on what I've learned and been told.

Childish insults. Really? Your point would be more effective without them.
Here's a link to Pennsylvania Department of Corrections about their intake process:

I'd be surprised if anyone on here has any first-hand knowledge of the Pennsylvania prison system. And even if they did, it would likely only be anecdotal - like your comments above. Many people go to prison - few people are murdered in prison. Most prison inmate deaths result from illness (e.g., liver disease, cancer, heart disease and drug/alcohol intoxication) with the average annual state prison homicide rate of 4 to 6 homicides per 100,000 state prisoners (or 00.006 percent).

So - am I gonna worry about Bill Cosby if he is committed to prison?
I'll save my concern for his prison guards.
