Should the guardian be held responsible for what happened to the child?
Yes.
Good. I agree.
Now that we've established the principle as correct, how do we apply it to Officials who put men in prison where they are raped?
My bringing up this hypothetical scenario is to demonstrate how once again the legal system is inconsistent and dysfunctional.
And why now? Someone mentioned to me the other day that a certain person had been raped in prison. I reiterated my long held position that this should *NEVER* happen, and anyone who lets this happen should be in prison themselves.
But that's not how our legal system works, is it?

As I understand it, the typical prisoner is innocent and is working on his appeal. He is a misunderstood youth who was on the cusp of turning his life around when the justice system jumped up and grabbed him.
The only time the misunderstood youth is in contact with the Judicial branch is when he is in the court. When in custodial care, he is guest of the Executive branch. Why some of the alpha males develop a sudden interest in exploring their alternative sexual desires in prison I do not know. I suppose the system could afford each and every one a secure, locked suite of his own, but then there would be a lawsuit for cruel and unusual punishment, and emotional distress. As an alternative we could have the courts declare all the prisons unfit and release the entire prison population onto the street. Looking at our southern border, one may see other countries releasing their prison populations and residents of their insane asylums onto our streets. That brings back memories of Jimmah Carter inviting Castro to release all his political prisoners to America.
Trouble seems to come with the company some people keep. The prison population is not the most desirable. Staying out of prison would be good. The judges only pass sentence, they do not run or supervise the prisons. Do you suggest they do away with prison sentences? Should prisons only accept persons of good moral character? Do you have some solution in mind?
