Do pedophiles get a hard time in jail?

Hey, while watching Law and Order: SVU I've noticed a recurring thing- the cops will always mention jail to pedophiles and 'how tough they know it will be for them'.

So here's my question (and it's USA- specific)- do the inmates at a prison treat a fellow inmate differently when he's a pedophile as opposed to if the person is a robber or something similar? How do they treat him/what do they do to him?

Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
