In California the "code" of conduct among prison inmates determine that child molesters (and certain deviant sexual acts) receive a permanent facial scar cut with a shiv deep across the victim's cheek. The facial scar is a permanent brand to identify the person for life. I had assumed this "protocol" was true for other state prisons - not just in California.
Most folks who receive the mark end up in a "sensitive needs" yard where they'd be safer.

I haven't seen that here in WA. Most of the child molesters here are in medium security, so for the most part they don't run into any problems when they are among their own. If they're in close custody, they don't walk mainline for long.
