Stuff like this is why prison rape jokes aren’t funny, y’all.

Pretty much. For all we yammer on about the infallibility of the founding fathers and how it was totally cool what they meant in the second amendment, it feels like everyone should be able to agree on what the eighth amendment’s ban on “cruel and unusual punishment” probably was intended to prevent something like prison rape and prisoners attacking other prisoners. We shouldn’t be cheering these things on; they’re flagrant violations of the basic rights of these prisoners and a sign of the abject failure of our prison system.

Ah but you see, rape is only cruel, not unusual. According to the Supreme Court it has to both or its perfectly fine.

And even when you point out the appalling % of wrongfully convicted inmates, people just don’t seem to process it. Like they can acknowledge the number exists but when it comes to actually facing the issue, they just can’t seem to look the issue in the eye.

The rape club. Not a good look for a prison. Losing your freedom is punishment enough. Providing sex for favors shouldn't be part of the life of an inmate.

I mean it shouldn't be part of any job, punishment or relationship of any type. Coercion is never consent

| Prosecutors say Garcia tried to keep his victims quiet with promises that he’d help them get early release. He allegedly told one victim he was “close friends” with the prison official responsible for investigating staff misconduct and couldn’t be fired. According to an indictment, he said he liked to cavort with inmates because, given their lack of power, they couldn’t “ruin him.”

He sounds like the perfectly level-headed and not power-hungry person you want supervising the detainment of hundreds of people.

That warden will have an interesting time in jail soon.

He did it at a woman's prison. Doesn't seem like a good idea to do that.

I know. I can read. I bet they’d go ham on him with socks full of quarters.

Why is your solution to further degrade the prison system? Can't we just improve it so things like this don't happen instead of doing more of the same?
