While I'm all in favor of prison being a nasty place, I don't like the organized crime that apparently takes place in the prison environment. Squash that, society will improve as a result.

"While I'm all in favor of prison being a nasty place, I don't like the organized crime that apparently takes place in the prison environment"

I agree with every part except prison having to be a nasty place. Reason one being, if it's a nasty place it will also turn the prison staff, guards, employees into nasty people too who get to filter back into our society. Not a good trade off. People do in fact start to parrot their environment if they're in it long enough. Prisons should be bland, and organised ONLY by the prison staff with ZERO tv and plenty of breaking the evil spirit of destruction prisoners wallow in and replacing it with positive constructivisms. TV is after all the crazed liberals slow drip of insanity, debuachery and disrespect to its viewership.

If they continue their criminal activities in prison, we will suffer when they get out. We must stop it an make them conform to 'society regulations' or put them in isolation and never let them out.

LETS TRY THIS AGAIN. . . .

As to this lawsuit, Coco is a fraud. He/sheit went into prison to ready and willing to be a "punk." The sexual slavery was voluntary and the lawsuit is BS (since some of you are so pristine). It shutters the sensibilities of those who don't know any better. The real fear in prison is for the preceived "weak" man who is straight. He will be severely tested (read beaten, and even tortured). His path is to carefully walk the line between fighting back to preserve his safety and not crossing the line of getting more time. The tragedy is the kid who goes in with a 2 year stint and ends up with life because he is protecting himself. Let me tell you why I know this....

I should probably keep my mouth shut, but when have I ever done that. I'm 37 now, but when I was 20 I got deeply involved in the Contra aide movement and as a result got involved with distribution of cocaine. None of you really want to know the extent that even our conservative officials are involved in drug trafficking.

Anyway, I took a 20 year sentence for the team, yes I was stupid. I did 4 years of it. Before you try to label me, I was at the top of my class in politics and finance at Liberty University (yes Jerry Falwell's university). I helped build the largest college republican chapter in the country there. A year later I was in maximum security prison.

I don't hide it and I'm not ashamed of it, it happened, it's well over. But I can tell you I have more grounds to comment on this post than most any of you here.

I was a young, clean-cut, straight, never-been-on the street in my life kid when I went to prison. The first year was hell. I spent more than have my time in solitary confinement with half or more of my face beaten black from assaults. They usually don't try to rape you, they want to break you and make you a "punk" like coco. And NO, for those of you who wonder, I was never successfully raped.

When I learned to deal with the threat it all got better, but never entirely stopped. When I went up for parole I was in the hole for beating the %$%# out of a would-be preditor.

Anyway, if any of you care, I would be happy to share reality about the "fun" time that prison becomes with tv and ping pong. Or how prisoners are coddled or "should be raped for their crimes."
