Friday Fronts: Prison Rape
We grow up thinking that prisons are where the others are, the others. The criminals, the crazies. The bad people who deserve it. We grow up thinking, in short, that the American prison system is more or less okay.
In fact, it's proof that we're not okay.
¶ David Kaiser on Rape in Prisons, in The New York Review of Books.
Comments
May I suggest that we do need some protection from grifters and low level drug users but in a different setting from hard-core criminals.
I feel Lay, Taubman, Stewart, et al. should do prison time, pay some price other than monetary for defrauding people, ruining lives. They need to feel the pain.
How differently this could be accomplished is for more expert minds.
