anyone agree or disagree?

No, I do not agree. I think violent prison rapists do not need to be in the 'general population' of the prison along with those who 'got the bitch' (habitual traffic offenders.)
Being a habitual traffic offender is not a capital offense and the offender should not be subject to gang rapes and torture which leaves them infected with HIV, HEPB or HEPC.
I also do not necessarily agree that child rapists should be on protective custody in the prisons. Now THOSE people are the ones who need to go into the population with gang rapists.
I also do not believe that a prisoner who has contracted HIV, HEPC and HEPB through (voluntary) sexual activity or tattoos should be given expensive treatment. But, at least according to them, they have their rights.
People who 'go inside' are not functional in society. Once 'inside' they do not have one single decision to make. Their food is provided, as is their clothing, and medical care. They may work, but it is menial work. They may get a GED, and the ones who do have to do so in the midst of those who don't care and sabotage the teaching. But they still get no real world kind of help.
