The state uses rape as tool for control. The AG of California gave this away when he gleefully stated that he wanted to put the CEO of Enron in jail where he would be raped. The fact that the AG not only wasn’t repromanded, but was actually allowed to keep his job proved that the state endorced his statement.
Well, it’s terrible and while people should be punished for their crimes they should not be put someplace so violent and horrible where others can take lives or maime someone like this young man.
I do not advocate treating criminals with kid gloves. They SHOULD be punished for their crimes and either be executed or spend the rest of their lives away from society. However, I am just thinking there has to be a better way.
This is not even human anymore. I wish someone in power could move ahead and make these changes. Some people go to jail do their time and come out with lessons learned. They should not be attacked while serving out their sentences. It’s just not right to me. I don’t care if you are rich, poor, or what nationality someone is. You should be able to serve your time and released when and if the time comes. I think our jail system is just awful and I would hope it could change. Can you imagine someone going into jail for the first time in their life sorry for their crime and doing their time and then something like this happens. I don’t know...it jsut boggles my mind.
