Smokey is clearly Not a Good Guy, but I remain highly unconvinced by Jacob's assertion that he'd just spew apocalyptic evil all over the place if he ever got out. Might be true. Might not be. So far, yeah, he's killed people, he's manipulated people, and he's clearly a cynical bastard, but I haven't seen any signs that his favorite hobby is burning cities to the ground and dancing on the ashes or anything.
And, really, it's impossible to tell how much of his homicidal tendencies are because that's just what he does, and how much actually comes out of being angry and frustrated and wanting out. (One of the sad truths about prisons is that they often make people worse. It's possible that part of his behavior is arguably Jacob's fault from that perspective, too.)
