No, that's not the "message". The message here is that a normal kid was purposefully thrown in a cell with a violent homosexual deviant rapist with a thing for white boys, strictly for the amusement of the guards, who themselves should, if there is any justice, be locked in a room with said violent homosexual deviant rapist for a few hours.
I must agree. I don't believe for a minute the guards didn't know otherwise about this prisoner.
