Inmates don’t go to jail or prison to BE punished. The fact that they have lost their freedom IS the punishment. Criminality in any form cannot be tolerated in a correctional setting whether it is perpetrated by an inmate or an officer. Any person, at any moment could be swallowed by the system regardless of their guilt or innocence. If that happens, you (or your wife or child) will be years extricating yourself from the situation. At that point it will be too late and no one will be interested in your views on humane treatment of prisoners. It’ll just be sour grapes from a guy who “didn’t want to give it up”.
No, but bi men do. There are a lot more of them than homosexuals.
“No, but bi men do. There are a lot more of them than homosexuals.

Bi is homo. Once again, if a man has sex with men, regardless if he has sex with women, animals or himself, and regardless of why, he is a homo.
Am I to understand you correctly that you think that homosexual rape is simply part of a normal prison sentence?
Or should be?
For once I agree with you.
And not because I am planning on an extended vacation in Huntsville, either.
First, people don't like to spend money on prisons. It costs a lot of money to build and staff a prison in such a way that it's unlikely prisoners would be able to get at and rape each other.
People doing long sentences are very creative. The lengths prisons go to to prevent anything from being used as a weapon are unreal. They even make the toothbrushes extra short so people can't make the handle into a shiv.
Prison guard money isn't good and the work isn't fun. This means you get people in there as guards that you'd rather not hire.
As others have noted on this thread, there's also a tendency to believe the justice system makes prison too cushy, and the rape of inmates is a way to extract the justice that the courts didn't deal out. It's a tough problem to overcome.
No one deserves it.
Not part of a formal sentence, that's stupid.
Guards don't care or are part of the problem.
You do something or not to get thrown in prison there is a risk of being raped.
Fact of life in any prison. ...you're not in Kansas any more!
Report it to the guards and then your labeled a snitch.
Is it fair, hell no, it's prison!
I don't know what that means, or why you would want to post it to me.
No, bi is bi. There is a difference between men who can do it with both men and women, and those who are only attracted to men. There are many more of the former than the latter.
Sounds like Johnny Ray might actually enjoy his weekend “getaways”. I’m thinking Johnny Ray might be in denial and his trips to the jailhouse provide him his “cover”.
It seems that I confused your apathy for endorsement.
That’s why I asked if I understood or not.
Better on the inside than the outside or do you advocate, for them just being a victim of society? It is the life they chose, they better be able to deal with it.
“Are you really THAT stupid? “
Maybe, or just well read :)
Words have meanings, your version of “homosexual” is one definition.
Another is “one who is sexually attracted to the same sex”.
Is the guard in this story a homo? Would he identify as such?
BTW I read your “Are you really THAT stupid? “
in the same voice as the raping hillbillies in deliverence:
“That river don’t go to Aintry”
SO, yes your aggressive confrontational style is similar to the repressed man that, without any women around , nevermind.....
Guards’ tacit approval of gang beatdowns benefits no one. Least of all, the taxpayers.
