Yes, I’d venture that few prison rapists will use the condoms. I am saying that, if all the stories are to be believed, prison authorities have failed miserably in carrying out their duty to prevent prison rapes. The least (and I do mean the least) they can do is attempt to protect the rape victims from being infected with deadly diseases. This isn’t about condoning the actions of the rapists, it’s about protecting their victims. Issuing condoms is a start, albeit probably largely a symbolic start. If you were to suggest dickerectomies for prison rapists, I wouldn’t be likely to object.
Fire the guards running things now and privatize the system.
