Why do prisoners beat each other to death?

Prisoners may engage in violent confrontations, including beatings, due to a variety of factors such as territorial disputes, gang affiliations, or personal vendettas. The prison environment often exacerbates tensions due to overcrowding, lack of resources, and limited access to mental health support. Such violence can also stem from power struggles or the need to establish dominance within the inmate hierarchy. Ultimately, these acts can reflect broader issues of systemic violence and the challenges of rehabilitation in correctional facilities.
