Prison rape

[Berzerker]

Don't expect it to change, even politicians like Gray Davis insinuated how glad he'd be if Ken Lay of Enron "fame" was getting raped in a California prison.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few politicians ending up in prisons other than Club Fed.

I can't imagine women get raped in prison- unless it's by a guard.

We have had a female inmate in my city get pregnant by a guard- but the sex was consensual. They forced every woman in the prison to get a pregnancy test.

Men are much more likely to get raped in prison. It's one of the reasons why I don't do illegal things . A small guy like me wouldn't fare well in prison.

[Al B. Sure!]

i was about to say...

i have never in my life heard anyone say its good that someone got raped in prison... can't imagine that... what are people here talking like half of america applauds prison rape?

and then i remembered when that gay guy in wyoming got killed, people were glad for the irony that the 'homophobic' murderers would be ass raped...

I do support child molestors getting raped.

[SuperSneak]

Man...this is one ****ed up world we live in.

[Kaak]

i'm astounded that their haven't been lawsuits against states for allowing such things to go on.

It's sorely tempting to wish that some prisoners would get raped while behind bars — child molesters come to mind, personally. Hey, what can I say? I'm human. That said, however, it's something that should be prevented. Like someone else on this thread said, we don't want them coming out of prison even more screwed up than when they went in. That does society no good.

Well said.

Well, here is a perspective of a correctional officer.

It doesn't happen in my jail. It is all but impossible. We operate in a direct supervision evironment (where there is an officer always in direct contact all times) and the cells are all designed to be single occupancy cells. It is illegal for more than one inmate to be housed in our cells. Showers are all single stall, and in direct view of the officer (with toilet stall type doors). Additionally, there are cameras everywhere. In my opinon, my jail is ideal, but for one problem. It is state of the art in technology and design, which means its very expensive. And I am sure that making all this fuss about prison rape would be sure to attract the support of the people, that same support will fall apart completely once the people realize how much it would cost to solve the problem.

Speaking of "solving the problem", how would it be done? Higher more officers? Good luck! How many of you would want to have to go to work everyday and be surrounded by murders rapists and child molesters? Everyday there is a chance of being killed by some crazy Inmate.

Damn... duty calls.... will post back here later.

It doesn't matter really, because it's only men that are victims.

[Whaleboy]

Victims whims are no basis for justice or punishment, we should get away from the notion of siding with the victim at the expense of logical, objective justice.

As such, making these people suffer further humiliation, pain etc is unacceptable imo.

Don't drop the soap.

[DinoDoc]

1) I was going to say that.
2) You apparently don't understand the concept of gallows humor.

[Whaleboy]

Seeing as how I'm a good boy I wouldn't.

And tough!! Thats the second time in 2 days I've been faster than you DD .
