I was profoundly struck by an editorial I read in the paper today regarding the frequency and severity of prison rape in both male and female US prisons.
Are convicts getting what they ultimately deserve, or is the widespread apathy of prison officials about this grotesque subject endangering the last hope of rehabilitation for society's misguided?

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Also, while this might be extra motivation not to go to prison, I believe it ends up hardening (no pun intended) and criminals and making them bitter. That can't help them when they get out.
And I won't make the same mistakes

Because I know how much time that wastes

I agree to an extent... for me though, I could care less if child rapists are raped in prison.

Perpetuating a wrong does nothing to solve any problems. It's just revenge...which is never good.

Child molesters and pedophiles deserve everything they get including ass raped.

The US population crossed the 300 million mark in October of 2006.
At year end 2006, there 2,258,983 Americans in prison or .75% of the population. So less than 1 out of every 100 Americans are in jail.

I don't think anyone deserves to be raped, prison is used as a privation of your freedom and basic rights, not a place for torture.

Report: 1 percent of U.S. adults behind bars
Story Highlights :
2.3 million U.S. adults incarcerated at beginning of 2008, Pew report says
50 states spent $49 billion on corrections last year
U.S. has more people in prison than any other country

NEW YORK (AP) -- For the first time in history, more than one in every 100 American adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report.
The report, released Thursday by the Pew Center on the States, said the 50 states spent more than $49 billion on corrections last year, up from less than $11 billion 20 years earlier. The rate of increase for prison costs was six times greater than for higher education spending, the report said.
Using updated state-by-state data, the report said 2,319,258 adults were held in U.S. prisons or jails at the

It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
you know it hurt me,
but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
my head down, my eyes closed,
and my throat wide open.
Do unto others, what has been done to me,
Do unto others, what has been done to you?
I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Won't you come on up closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Release in sodomy.
Oh, for one sweet moment I am whole.
Do unto you now, what has been done to me,
Do unto you now, what has been done?
You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you come on a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
Release in sodomy.
For I am your witness and
blood and flesh can be trusted.(X2)
And only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind.
Got your hands bound, your head down,
your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.
( Show me something
Thought I could make it end
Thought I could wash the stains away
Thought I could break the circle if I
Slipped right into your skin
So sweet was your surrender
We have become one
I have become my terror
And you my precious lamb and martyr.) *
I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
shit, blood, and cum on my hands.
I've...come...round...full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over, soon.
You look so precious.(X4)
You look so precious, now,
You look so precious...
Very well said.
I think convicted rapists do. Nothing like having the shoe on the other foot in order to truly be able to contemplate your own actions.
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
thats a great song to whip out on karaoke night.
I have no desire to see such a law passed nor do I think it is necessary. In this regard, I see it as poetic justice.
In my opinion that is a disgusting position to take. It lowers you a lot closer to the level of the criminal.

Well hey, thats why it is your opinion. Evidently you don't find the crime as disgusting as I do. Enlighten me with you solution.
No - I find the crime as disgusting as anyone else does.
That does not mean that I believe in revenge justice by committing the same crime back to the person.

we agree to disagree.
