Holmes Attacked -- Protecting Killers in Prison
Despite being isolated from other prisoners for his own protection, James Holmes was attacked by inmate Mark 'Slim' Daniels. Slim Daniels is doing time for car thefts and other crimes. He slipped through a security gate just before it closed in order to put a beat-down on Holmes.

^ Slim landed several punches on Holmes' head before the guards pulled him off of the mass killer. So, Holmes has been transferred to another facility and it's pissing some officials off.
Prison officials refused to say where Holmes was transferred, citing security concerns. The lapse in security that led to the beating and the secret transfer drew criticism from a former Colorado prison official.
'It’s called a "dump job," moving him on to another warden. He’s always going to be a target. The Department of Corrections could easily have placed him in a secure setting,' Bob Hood, a former warden of the federal super-maximum security prison in Florence, Colorado told ABC News.
'It’s ironic to me that they transfer him out of state for such a simple assault. The Department of Corrections dropped the ball. The inmate was assaulted. The system broke down,' Hood said.
