It’s just another occupational hazard in choosing a life of crime. No pity.

Are people who excuse prison rape any better than sex offenders ?

It used to be that the "system" looked the other way and believed that whatever treatment fellow prisoners wrought upon each other was acceptable.

At least in Texas, this is no longer the case. Prisoners suffer the loss of their freedom, and that's officially supposed to be it. Guards no longer look the other way.

Sounds like the same argument as those who say that scantily clad or drunk females deserve to be assaulted. Do you feel morally superior to them?

I thought Texas had the worst prisons in the nations. The issue is taken more seriously by the government today than in the 80s and 90s.

Nope. Texas Department of Criminal Justice is actually quite forward-thinking compared to some others.

The Safe Prisons/PREA plan is groundbreaking.
