Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do from the outside but complain to the institution. This could have a double-edged result though. Letting someone in the administration know of these details will certainly shake things up there for a while. They will do shake-downs trying to find the shank. But these things never stay quiet and he could end up having more problems from you saying something than if he just lets it go. It sounds like your son has

How much harm was done without a weapon? Was the great bodily harm inflicted after the injured was unable to defend themselves? There seems to be more to this story as DAs have huge case loads and rarely get involved prosecuting inmates already in the system.
