The last time I checked rape wasn't a Constitutional form of punishment.

Nor is sympathy required by the Constitution.

Any prison official that knowingly allows this to happen should be tried and then executed.

No, it is God that requires that we have sympathy for prisoners. I'd be happy to point out chapter and verse if you like.

Funny, there's no outcry at the rape of Israel at the hands of the General Ass-embly.

Those tempted to gloat would be well advised to remember that it is very easy to end up in slam in the United States, even if you're 100% innocent.

This guy was a recidivist drunk driver. I wouldn't call that "100% innocent."

Prisoners who rape should be castrated, as should corrections personnel who actively or passively condone rape.

That would surely "fix" this problem.

I still get exasperated by the "if you're not doing anything wrong" crowd around here. Absolutely zero foresight or imagination.

There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for this happening in any American prison. Good reason to privatize the whole dang prison system!

No, it is God that requires that we have sympathy for prisoners.

Fortunately it is a state matter, and not a religious one.

"The part in bold may be one of the dumber things I've ever seen posted here."

Hardly, I ended up in Allston, MA (Boston) jail for 12+ hours on a case of looking vaguely (very tall, big, beard) like the guy who robbed a taxi.

I'm a large guy (almost 300lbs, very tall and solid), but I am also a Jewish guy, and being the guy with the kippa (which they took and threw away) in a Boston jail overnight was not a fun deal.

I agree with your assesment of the cellie rule, but how much of it happens because it is "allowed" to happen by guards, etc.?

I never said this guy was 100% innocent.

However, many people that are 100% innocent end up in prison every year.

Next time, it might be you.

A little thread hijacking -- since we could presume that inmates are predominantly gay, doesn't this really show that the act of "gay sex" can be separated from having a physical attraction to men? Which would imply that at least some, especially younger boys who are shy and afraid to approach women, might well be seduced into "gay sex" relationships NOT because they are particularly attracted to men, but because it's sex?
