Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is in jail, on suicide watch, after a jury convicted him late Friday of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years.
Sandusky, 68, is at the Centre County Correctional Facility — the same lockup where he spent a night in December. His last time behind bars, Sandusky was held alone in a cell in a special unit reserved for sexual offenders or people with mental illnesses, according to another inmate there last winter. The 22-year-old offender identified himself as Josh and asked that his surname not be used because he is embarrassed about his crime.
Other prisoners were barred from communicating directly with Sandusky, but they could see him. And when the lights went out, inmates serenaded the disgraced coach with a famous line from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.”
“At night, we were singing ‘Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone,’ ” Josh said, adding that everyone knew who Sandusky was because inmates had access to television and newspapers.
