Racist nonsense aside, people generally seem to be amenable to criminals being raped in prison (if not actually endorsing it - taking an attitude that "them's the breaks"). First of all, if that's the general consensus, why not support legislation that mandates rape as a punishment for crime? Secondly, does the issue of the long term effects of such abuse not resonate with anyone? Specifically, if a guy sticks up a convenience store and spends five or ten years in prison, being repeatedly gang-raped, does it not concern any of you that he's much more likely to commit sex crimes upon release?
