The media and Left were always more focused on the allegations by terrorists captured in the battlefield than of US citizens abused stateside.

If you don’t want to give it up, don’t do the crime.

Too many police and corrections officers become indistingable from the criminals they are supposed to control.
I had a female co-worker quit to take a job as a corrections officer;she was really into the whole "uniform" thing.

That go for young males who were sexually abused by staff?
There exists a culture of corruption in prisons.
And we are on the hook for a potential civil rights lawsuit for millions of dollars.

Yes, because we know innocent people are never falsely accused, right?
I personally think that prision staff really doesn’t care if inmates are raped.

Seems homos are the more likely to go to prison as there seems to be loads of prison rape. Straight men don’t rape other men. Homosexuality is a mental illness.

And to those who accept that the prison guards are OK with using prison rape (between prisoners) as a means of control.
You do understand that they also permit violent attacks and murders as well, right?

Because of guards' position of power over their charges, prisoners cannot legally consent to sex with corrections officers...That seems a little unworkable considering the 3rd sentence of this article.

Problem is, some of them didn’t do the crime. Also, with the way our country is going, posting here or speaking out against zero could become a crime. Something like “sedicious conspiracy.”
In any event, no prisioner deserves to be raped. Period. Rape isn’t supposed to be part of our justice system.

I agree. It is just possible an inmate could have been wrongly convicted (the Mass. Day-Care abuse travesty comes to mind). Or someone could be in jail for a minor offense. Besides, allowing rape to continue is simply enabling and maybe providing additional training to people who will continue raping when they get out of prison.

If you dont want to give it up, dont do the crime.I am going to have to totally disagree. Rape is not a part of the sentence. And non-violent and even completely innocent people go to jail too.

Prisoners raping one another is something authorities should do their best to stop. Being in prison doesn't give one license to commit more crimes.
Having said that, I have to wonder why people are shocked by this kind of thing. Those in prison aren't generally nice guys.

The only way to prevent prisoner on prisoner rape is to put Chasity belts on them.... or build them little individual houses with showers, a bathroom, and nice kitchenette, and their own personal exercise yard.

“New standards were proposed last June by a commission formed after passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act in 2003.. “
If Congress actually cared about this law in 2003, the “New Standards” would not just last June, SIX YEARS LATER, finally be being proposed; they would have already been in place and in practice nationwide by then.
