This is pure myth. They separate molesters from the others so that people don't harm them. The only time this comes into play is for example if a molester is in the general populations and no one knows he is one, but then he gets discovered. Then he either leaves or he might get attacked. A high profile guy like this would be shielded 99% of the time from any sort of attack because he's a molester on day one. Now another molester in the same cell block might kill him because he stole his cigs or whatever.
