1. His partner in crime had also been killed in prison in 2002

Earl Krugel was Irv Rubin's 'first lieutenant'. Incidentally, wikipedia is amazing -- it already shows Krugel's death in the Krugel article.

In November 2002, while in prison in the Metropolitan detention Center on Los Angeles <4> awaiting trial, Rubin allegedly cut his throat with a small safety razor and tumbled <5> off an 18 to 20 foot balcony. The injuries from the fall he suffered resulted in his death at Los Angeles County Hospital several days later.<[6>] The circumstances surrounding his death are not clear and his followers suspect that he was murdered.<7> The Bureau of Prisons refused to release videotape, despite the fact that virtually all his visitors report that the entire facility is constantly monitored by video-camerasCitation needed. The Rubin family have, thus far, been unsuccessful in pursuing a wrongful death suit.

4. Geez, who would've done that

It's not like the Aryan Brotherhood and the Nation of Islam are well-represented in the prison population, or anything.

5. Strange...

...both defendants in this case end up dead.

Irv Rubin commits suicide and Krugel murdered.

Both while in prison.
