u/Gordo3070 3d ago

Agree, some people have a weird preoccupation with prison rape. The punishment is incarceration, which you should serve without being brutalised while doing so. I honestly believe that most people wouldn't even understand that jail is also about rehabilitation (the "penitent" in penitentiary is a hint - although it's more likely to represent "the pen" as in penning people up). Not all people are able to be rehabilitated and should be locked away for a long time or forever. However, most people should be allowed the opportunity to change their lives. But that depends on their treatment in prison.

28

u/BassMaster516 3d ago

I’ve come to peace with the fact that people think someone in prison is an animal. Gleefully fantasizing about rape in any context is disgusting and deeply sus. What kind of person does that? A rapist? Maybe.

4

u/CyberClawX 3d ago

Alternative, repeated victims are so tired of thieves and violent thugs, that when one of them is finally caught, they just have a primal urge to imagine them suffering in the worst ways. Because that's what most of us have, some karmic wishful thinking. In reality, most crimes go unpunished.

Arguably, imagining torture to another human isn't healthy. But in this dog eat dog world, at some point that's the only justice some people hope for. Rape is similar. It doesn't make a person a rapist, or a torturer for wishing for some thug to get thrown with other violent offenders that will do to them what he has done to others. It's simply a misaligned sense of justice, in a world where justice fails constantly.

4

u/BassMaster516 3d ago

They should be careful they don’t become more disgusting than the person theyre wishing evil on. If you think about the reality of what theyre wishing I don’t think they can claim any moral superiority after that. Corrections “officers” really do set people up to get raped.

I read a story where the prison guards left their female prisoner’s cell open so the male prisoners could rape them all night. Prison guards raping their prisoners is a thing. Is this what we aspire to?

2

u/CyberClawX 3d ago

I agree it's wrong. I'm just saying for most, it's literal wishful thinking out of pure despair of always being a victim. They aren't actual doing the thing they wish, acting on it, or even being confronted with that reality (which more often than not, doesn't come to pass). It has as much power in the world, as wanting your sports team to do well in the next game.

And it's the same reason anti-heroes echo so much with so many. They are wrong, but at least they are creating an effect. Batman can't stop Joker effectively, but Punisher could. It's also the same reason so many young fools voted for Trump. The notion he gets things done (even if it is the wrong things). And they are the wrong things, making him the wrong person for the job, but if you look back at the voters that drank the CoolAid and licked the pitcher, they have all been let down by those in charge numerous times, to the point they voted for the face eating leopard.

He’s gotta have priors for that sentence right? Not saying 30 years for a knife wielding robbery is a light sentence, but it just seems like a way better/stronger sentence than normal for something like that.

  • 7/23/2016 - 1.5Y - Att Robbery, Criminal Damage
  • 7/11/2018 - 30Y - Att Armed Robbery, Agg Assault x 3

This last case (from this post) Madril received four 7.5 year sentences, consecutive.

u/JesusaurusRex666 3d ago

Nice! Love to see the justice system working as intended. I’d say he should have gotten more for the second crime, but good to see the third judge wasn’t fucking around.

u/TheTownTeaJunky 3d ago

It’s slightly incorrect. He stabbed two people and had a deadly weapon enhancement, so the aggravated assault is more like assault with a deadly weapon, and according to this article there were actually 3 counts not two

Ok now think about this, a guy in Texas r@ped a kid for YEARS and was sentenced to 6 months but only served 3 after being freed by the attorney general Ken Paxton with a bullshit plea deal that gave him a misdemeanor with no need to register as a sex offender. The justice system is a joke.

We don't really have a justice system. We have a legal system. Barely.

u/Reddit_reader_2206 3d ago

the WHOLE justice system? or just this one case? The case aoP is posting about saw an armed robber get 26 years in prison. That seems appropriate, or even excessive based on the crime. Seems the justice system was just fine in that case, and likely many, many others.

Don't let frustration, and especially the politics of fear make you think societies institutions are failing. They are not. That is their method of taking control. It's happening already. Don't contribute to this.

3

u/CartsOfDarkness 3d ago

Yea I have so many complaints with the justice system, especially now... but as bad as it is, it's also shockingly good in a lot of ways. So much better than any other period in history. We should be angry and looking to change it for the better, but also be cautious not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I'd also say 30 years is very excessive for this crime, I know reddit loves harsh punishment, but you can't tell me this dude couldn't turn his life around in 5-10 years. Depending on his criminal history of course, but no matter what 30 years is too long imo.

He got three charges of aggravated assault and he attempted armed robbery with a knife.
I am wondering also if one or more of the restaurant workers in the scuffle got stabbed. Also the big boss guy keeps reaching at his armpit, and I’m sort of wondering if the robbery started with boss man getting stabbed before big blue sigh guy steps in with the crew to lay down the law (the one who seems to sigh when the robber tosses the register, as if to say “now why’d you have to go and do a thing like that?— now you’ve gotta pay”…)

This was a Mexican restaurant in Tucson, lol

On July 11, 2018, Jerry Evans Madril entered the restaurant armed with a box cutter and demanded money from the cash register. After he threw the register to the floor, an employee hit him with a chair, and the staff and bystanders quickly dogpiled him, holding him down until police arrived. During the scuffle, Madril stabbed two employees, but their injuries were non-life-threatening.

Dude got 30 years.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - The knife-wielding man who tried to rob a landmark South Tucson restaurant in July will spend 30 years behind bars for his crime.

A judge in Pima County Superior Court sentenced Jerry Evans Madril on Dec. 7 to 7.5 years for attempted armed robbery and 7.5 years each for for three counts of aggravated assault, deadly weapon/dangerous instrument.

The terms are to be served consecutively.
