This is a Pedophile on His Way to Jail

Robert Vann Smith, aka Ghost Writer on a "Boy Lover" forum.

Robert Vann Smith, 39, of Georgia and Nicholas Joseph Simons, 31, of San Diego were arrested after police stopped their minivan in Tijuana. Investigators said they found three Mexican boys in the van, ages 9, 10 and 12. They also found allegedly sex paraphenalia and DVDs containing children's shows and pornography.

Simons and Smith face numerous charges, including rape.

They are being held at La Mesa State Prison outside of Tijuana:

La Mesa Prison is 110 years old and runs on the principle of Napoleonic Law — a prisoner is guilty until he or she can prove innocence. Once arrested, a prisoner has no rights. He or she is provided soup for breakfast and lunch, and soggy bread for dinner. Unless he or she can pay, a prisoner has no cell, no bedding, no access to the outside world, no protection, no clothing.

Guards with machine guns line the prison walls, but inside, there is no supervision. Six thousand prisoners create their own system of justice based on power, force, abuse, drugs, sex trafficking and violence.

Once an American prisoner is charged in Tijuana, he or she will typically be taken to La Mesa and put into a 16x16 holding area with about 30 others. That’s where the initial abuse takes place, especially the sexual abuse from the guards. Then begins a long wait for processing. Once there is a trial, sentences are typically long-term — 5 years to 25 years to life are typical sentences. Payment of fines can generate leniency and costly appeals are possible. After 18 months, an American is eligible to apply to be transferred to La Tuna Prison in Texas, where the felony still applies.

I don't think these two pedophiles will be having a very good time while in prison in Tijuana. This prison has been described as "evil". 80% are active drug users, and a little bit of money can buy you just about anything, including a 'hit' on someone else inside La Mesa.
