It was the male/paternal role, however, for which his father had carefully trained him. While serving in the Marines, he was convicted of murdering his staff sergeant in 1974, while stationed in the Philippines. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, and was ultimately sent to the United States Penitentiary, Marion, which was at the time the highest-security prison in the nation. Fountain used his military training to murder three prisoners and one correctional officer with a homemade knife while serving time at Marion, and was labeled the "Most Dangerous Prisoner" in the federal system.
