Original Note:
The man in the photo is Jonathan Watson, a life sentence inmate who killed two child molesters with a cane at a California prison in 2020, but it was due to a violent impulse he had tried to prevent. No more news on him exist and the rest of this fabricated image is false. https://apnews.com/article/5cc084bc04b00e000771b3d9b7db2eb4 https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/10/29/ca-prison-staff-cleared-in-case-of-man-who-beat-two-convicted-child-molesters-to-death-after-warning-he-would-soon-get-violent/
