Agresión por parte de un prisionero

Explicación Simple

Si un prisionero golpea a alguien o le lanza fluidos corporales, eso es un delito grave. La ley dice que esto es más serio si se hace con una arma o si se puede causar daño grave a la otra persona.

Es como si un jugador de fútbol, en lugar de jugar limpio, decide patear a otro jugador solo porque está en el campo de juego. Eso no solo es injusto, sino que también trae consecuencias más severas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está en prisión y, durante una pelea, le lanza un vaso roto a otro prisionero, causándole una herida. Juan no solo enfrenta cargos por agresión, sino que también podría recibir una pena más larga por su acto violento.

Penalidades

Es un delito grave de segundo grado, lo que puede resultar en una larga condena de prisión.
