I’ll save you some time and give you the definition by merriam webster:
any of various crimes (such as assault or defacement of property) when motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group (such as one based on color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation)

Just gonna pop in for a moment. Murder has its own charges. A hate crime, in this case, will tack on additional charges. Potentially keep them from harming their community for longer.
Of course jail is privatized and the perpetrator will no doubt be abused, either by guards or inmates.
The American penal system is flawed to its core, but societies do have a need to house harmful individuals. Where that line is is up for debate by better minds than mine.
