Brian David mitchell

Prison beating incident: In July 2013, Mitchell was beaten by a fellow inmate. According to a prison source, he was targeted for his crime against a child, as well as his arrogance and religious preaching. During the attack, other prisoners reportedly watched and chanted: 'This is for Elizabeth Smart!' The prison source remarked, 'He had a target on his back because the other inmates hate child molesters. Even murderers look down on them as the lowest of the low.' Mitchell suffered a swollen eye, bloody lip and cuts and bruises in the attack, and was moved to another section of the prison made up mostly of sexual offenders.
