      I mean, yeah, however, this is new. They usually prefer to rape little kids.
      These are adults that will get raped, AND they are in prison so neither the orange buffoon nor the usual cronies will be doing the raping. This is more about the cruelty than the raping…though they are all probably touching themselves thinking about it, just like they do when they murder fishermen on boats.
      Ok, you are correct, it’s about the cruelty and the rapes.

    The only reason not to follow the Prison Rape Elimination Act is if you do not want to eliminate rape.

    That’s the only logical conclusion, right?

      Rape in the system is a feature, not a bug.

      From a report about trans inmates:

      75% of respondents reported at least one instance of sexual violence by Corrections Officers (COs).

      This includes: • 48% of respondents who reported violence from a single male CO. • 32% of respondents who reported sexual violence from multiple male COs.

      Respondents reported numerous types of sexual assaults by COs : • 68% were touched in a way that felt inappropriately sexual while they were clothed, including 57% who had their chest/breasts touched, 43% who had their genitals grabbed, and 55% who had their bottom grabbed. • 36% were asked to strip search in front of other incarcerated people. • 36% were asked to remove their bra in front of male COs during a strip search. • 27% were forced by a CO to perform oral sex. • 18% had their naked genitalia touched by a CO. • 16% were forced to perform anal sex by a CO. • 20% were forced to perform another sexual act by a CO.

        That it’s become a popular joke in many circles is especially damning. Maybe just maybe, we should actually focus on rehabilitation and support. And less on torture and separation. It would certainly benefit society as a whole.
