One of the contributing factors that encourage prison rape is prison overcrowding. Much of the prison overcrowding problem is due to mandatory minimum sentences imposed for drug-related "crimes", mandated by pro-WOD politicians.
The WOD itself is an abomination, and the incarceration of people for pot is one of its most abominable facets. That's why I emphasize marijuana "offenders" when discussing the really insidious crime of prison rape. If that 19-year old kid in Florida that was victimized by a prison rapist a few months back was your son, you'd no doubt feel the same way.
As you well know, that 19-year-old DRUG DEALER was not imprisoned "due to mandatory minimum sentences imposed for drug-related "crimes", mandated by pro-WOD politicians."
He was placed in week-end JAIL because he violated the conditions of his release after arrest. He put himself in jail, not the "pro-WOD politicians".
At least get that part of the story correct.
