Afraid to act because of the prisoner's buddies on the outside. My fiance has a friend in upstate NY that works as a prison guard. I discussed this issue before with him and he explained to me, "I ain't going to screw around with gang members under my watch. They can always call a brother on the outside to kill me and my family."
Scary stuff.
Ah yes, the omnipresent perverted inmate with connections to do harm. Well someone should tell his buddies on the outside what sort of pervert he actually is.
I would guess there are few inmates with monies to pay lawyers for such an adventure. Then there is the difficulty and cost of suing a govt entity.
since compassion doesn't seem to be your strong suit, how about respecting amendment viii of the constituion? just a reminder of what it says...
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Exactly! You don't have to have any sympathy for violent convicts, but the fact that any form of rape occours in prison is a disgrace because it is a sign that there is NO discipline or supervision in our modern prison system, and it tells the world that the inmates are running the asylum.
The problem IS that it's liberalism and outfits like "Human Rights Watch" that got us to the point where this is accepted behavior, where society BREEDS these kind of animals, where prisons are day-spa's for lifting weights, watching tv and buggering white boys. Rape was once a capital crime. Now these perps know society doesn't mean business about ANYTHING (unless it is a politially incorrect or hate crime.)
THEN when the do-gooders see what their handiwork over the last half-century has wrought, they wring their hands and rend their clothes and cry out in agony! Well, hell, you friggin idiots---the situation is U.S. prisons, the state of crime in the United States is 100% the result of 50 years of liberalism. Coddling criminals and creating a CLASS of criminals, financed by government, incenting criminals and rewarding criminals----THAT is why there is homosexual rape in prison.
Focusing on homosexual rape in prison is like like treating the headache of a person with a grapefruit-sized brain-tumor.
Surely you jest?
This was sarcasm, right?
Yes, it was sarcasm, surely. I recognize sarcasm.
Had to be sarcasm, since no one with a modicum of education still believes that saltpeter suppresses the sexual urge in the human male.
Must of been sarcasm.
Did anyone else see "Office Space". This was a major reason why Peter, Michael and Samir didn't want to go to prison.
Apparently they are.
Partly true, but meantime, allowing rape in prison is no less criminal.
Yep. One of my favorite movies. Lawerence rules! And Milton was pretty cool too. You just knew Milton was going to snap when he didn't get any cake. LOL!
Better kept than you might suspect. AIDS seems to have civil rights, I cite from Wisconsin Law. I assume it's similar in most other states:
252.15(2)(a)No health care provider, blood bank, blood center or plasma center may subject a person to a test for the presence of HIV, antigen or nonantigenic products of HIV or an antibody to HIV unless the subject of the test first provides informed consent for testing or disclosure as specified under par. (b), except that consent to testing is not required for any of the following:
Trust me, prisoner isn't one the reasons.
BUT! A few sections later in the statutes:
252.11(1)In this section, "sexually transmitted disease" means syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and other diseases the department includes by rule.
(The astute reader will have noticed the absence of AIDS in the above definition)
252.11(1m)If, following a request of an officer of the department or a local health officer, a person reasonably suspected of being infected with a sexually transmitted disease refuses or neglects examination by a physician or treatment, an officer of the department or a local health officer may proceed to have the person committed...
So, you see, people with HIV can legally conceal the disease, but other folks with "ordinary" VD or sexually transmitted disease as they call it these days i.e., syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia etc. get tossed in the slammer if they want to conceal it. But! If you have AIDS you of course are likely to be homosexual, and well, we have to protect those people don't we. GRRRRRRRRRR
