You're right. I've read that the guards -- excuse me, they now insist on being called "corrections officers," shower the rape victims with contempt.
Sometimes the guards have a vested interest in keeping the prisoners at eachother's throats. I really do think there's an urgent need for reform. I used to attend a church that did prison ministry with Chuck Colson. If I was a warden, I'd absolutely ban the muslim religion AND all it's wacky permutations in the Nation of Islam, Five Percenters,etc. Nothing else works but christian ministry in prison. If that sounds intolerant, I apologize but it's true.
