I will say that the guards were negligent, but I will also say that this guy DEFINITELY got what he deserved.

If you've ever had a friend get raped (or daughter, wife, whatever), you'd understand.

I understand your point, but in reality, it could just as easily have been a young kid with an otherwise clean record (but no political connections) serving a decade-plus mandatory minimum sentence for petty dope dealing instead of a serial-raping scumbag.

Considering the fact that over 2 million Americans are incarcerated today (and an ever-increasing number of those 2 million are there for non-violent, victimless offenses), it's critical that the corrections establishment is held accountable when events like this occur.

I never said that the guards weren't negligible, did I? In fact, I hope the people responsible for this get thrown out on their butt.

HOWEVER, I do happen to love it when Karma comes back and bites a rapist/murderer/terrorist/etc.
