How do i help my son who is getting beaten up in jail?

My son is in prison, he had no dealings with the law before he was caught hacking a federal computer, he is a very meek person and is getting beat up often, I don't know how to help him if you have any ideas let me know thank you

Has he been sentenced and assigned to a federal prison or is he still in the county jail?

Has he been sentenced and assigned to a federal prison or is he still in the county jail? County jail is actually worse than federal prison. If he is getting beaten up often, he needs to check himself into PC, protective custody. He will be in isolation, it is lonely and boring but no one will bother him there.
