To shot someone in prison means you had a gun, therefore you shot an inmate while on duty, if that was in defense of yourself or another employee or inmate, that would be justifiable homicide. If you were an inmate and made a shank and used it against another inmate, you could be charged with murder if it were unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. Of course, you could argue you used reasonable force in self defense to resist death or bodily harm. Nothing is as simple as it sounds!!!
