Check who runs the judicial system. Your answer is there.
It seems like everywhere I look the Amish are staring back at me. This is getting creepy.
Do we, as a society, believe that the primary purpose of prison is to punish, or rehabilitate?
If it's to rehabilitate there should be ZERO tolerance for violence. You can't confine someone against their will and allow violent acts to be perpetrated against them. Who would want to participate in a society, after release, that did that to them?
We should also have a broader criteria for the death penalty.
We should also have a broader criteria for the death penalty.
Yes, but we also need to narrow the scope of what is a felony and what is not. Many modern "felonies" are victimless misdemeanors with an arbitrary "felony" label set by overzealous legislators. Conversely, malicious felons should receive proportionately harsh sentences.
I think either way you should have zero tolerance for violence. But as far as reality goes, I don't think these things are officially tolerated. It's hard to control people.
Perhaps a corollary of the maxim that you can judge a society by how well it treats its prisoners is that you can judge a society by how its prisoners behave.
Even if it's to punish, unless negro rape gangs are an explicit part of the sentence (unlikely: 8th amendment) there should still be zero tolerance.
Some of it is conservatives who push the idea that any evil which befalls an imprisoned person is just. Some of it is a general lack of compassion. Most of it is the poor administration of the prison system in general. Gangs are allowed to rule prisons because it's just easier to let it happen than for guards and wardens to do their jobs. Fixing it would be expensive, disruptive, and require addressing a substantial amount of corruption.
"snitches get stitches" doesn't' help. Each person who glorifies prison rape is contributing a little but to the problem. And 80% of Poal will say all rapists and pedos should get raped. So look into your hearts and decide: Is extrajudicial rape something that should be part of our prison system as long as some of the rapees are people you hate?
If not you should write your local congress-critter and demand prison reform and anti-corruption measures.
Sovereign immunity of state actors.
I'm 100% giving govermet the power over life and death way to many innocents have been killed. My first rule in the constitution would have been no jews...
Then govetment can not take life unless it is defending our nation in war on our homeland. Aka within our borders from invasion. Would have stopped all our world wars
I don't think the US even needs a standing, conventional Army, in the modern day. Air force, sure. You can lob missiles at people you don't like, outside of borders, as an extension of diplomacy. When you start occupying places, that's wrong. I don't suppose I care if you need some sort of special ops to get things done on the ground as long as they leave.
I believe there was a bill passed to address this issue, the Prison Rape Elimination Act, but I haven't seen the statistics on whether it did anything.
The victim is almost always beaten in prison rapes, which leads to a hospital trip. Most inmates don't wanna be known as "the guy who got raped" so they deny it and the prison has no way of charging the perp with rape. The hospital is supposed to do a rape kit, but of the prison doesn't push it and the victim doesn't want it, it's often skipped (which is gross negligence on the hospitals part) and the prison can't do much if the victim won't snitch. Can't sue the state prison system if you won't admit anything ever happened, and if you try to sue them they bury you in paperwork until you give up
Edit: one of my best friends is a corrections officer, he and his co workers talk about this kind of stuff a lot
Another contributor being that they'll get murdered if they talk. They'll be a mark
The rapist as well. That's why they have "teddy bear wards" in prisons. so pedophiles, rapists, and women/children killers don't die like they deserve
Most inmates don't wanna be known as "the guy who got raped" so they deny it
That's not why. The reason is that if they rat, they're dead.
Ever been in a prison or know people that work in one? Genuinely asking. There are a lot of variables that go into it. Depends if guy who got raped like to start shit, or if rapist is in a gang. Rapist would be put in seg and after, moved to the rapist and pedophile (teddy bear) wing. It's a nasty environment in prisons man. I cleaned air ducts for a while and got contracted to clean Stillwater mn prison. That place looks like a nightmare. But places like rush city (max) and moose lake (super max underground facility) not a lot of spare time for riff raff
Because it's a woman's fault
Just another reason for segregation, it's inhumane to put a White man into a system only ever intended for bestial nigger storage
Which they generally do in prison. That's what's crazy. Under lock and key with armed guards an steel doors? "Better segregate them just to be safe." In public, where you have to work shoulder to shoulder, and have your kids sitting next to them in class with zero protection? "They're just like us!"
The prison is almost always named as a co-defendant in suits arising from stuff like this. You can sue a prison, even a federal one.
Their.
