1. Being Moved to Another Prison or the Protection Wing

2. Physical Assault
The most immediate and severe consequence of being caught as a snitch is physical assault. Other inmates will view the snitch as an enemy and will likely attack them. The severity of the attack depends on the inmate’s standing and the level of animosity towards the snitch.
You could be killed. You need to understand something if someone is already doing 20 years He doesn’t have a lot to lose by stacking another 12 to 16 years on top of it. So the word would go out on the yard that you are a snitch. At that point, it doesn't really matter who you snitched on. If you get labeled a snitch, that's a wrap.
The Social Dynamics in Prison
Snitching not only leads to physical violence but also serious social consequences that affect an inmate's status within the prison hierarchy.

In higher security classification levels you might receive some grievous bodily counseling from the other cons or some impromptu non-professional non-elective and very non-sterile invasive surgery.

It will depend upon if the inmate you snitched on is of a different race than you are and if they are affiliated with a prison gang. The punishment for snitching can go from a minor disciplinary action from your own people to a very serious issue.
