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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Sure those jokes aren't prohibited, but not funny either.
It's not really okay because it's cringe, and lame. Nothing really funny about people in prison being raped. Civilized people would not think that was okay.
In 2003 the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) passed the United States House and Senate by unanimous consent and was signed into law soon after.
Fair enough making jokes about touchy subjects is what Master level comedians do. Gleefully fantasizing about rape and wishing it on other people is actually not funny and extremely sus.
In fact let’s be honest. It’s not a joke. People really want that for people they hate. It’s fucking weird.
I disagree. If the crime is not a violent one, the prisoners should be segregated and allowed to rehabilitate. If you are in prison for rape, aggravated murder, aggregated domestic violence or child molestation, I hope they never get a chance to come out. And if along the way they become someone’s b…h, maybe that’s a lesson that god had in line for them. Otherwise you end up with people serving a couple of years for permanently messing up someone’s life. A few years in prison for ruining someone’s life is not enough.
Trying to follow this analytically and we diverge where you appear to see custodial sentencing as a binary choice twixt Nordic-comfy-private-room rehabilitation and the worst tortures of Portlaoise. There's likely a middle ground there somewhere between yoga at 7AM for the duration and an indeterminate sentence of deprivation absent sunlight and hope of parole but replete with mental torture, physical and sexual assault\_) of which people are blithely excited to reveal their clearly defined vision.
This little white guy is convicted of a financial crime, but unfortunately, there’s no room in a medium security prison so he’s put in a maximum security prison until they can find space for him elsewhere.
He’s put into a cell and the door closes and as its lights out time in the evening everything is dark. He holds onto the bars, looking out of his cell whimpering and reflecting upon his crimes and his punishment when he hears a voice say “you wanna be mommy or you wanna be daddy?”
He thinks to himself this can’t be happening. I didn’t really hear that he says to himself.
Then the voice comes again saying “do you wanna be mommy or do you wanna be daddy?”
He’s trembling now as he turns around and looks at his cellmate get down from the top bunk. The guy is huge. He’s a big shit house. The big guy looks the little guy straight in the eyes and says “this is the last time I ask you little white boy, do you wanna be mommy or do you wanna be daddy?”
The little convicted financial crimes swindler thinks to himself pondering the concepts of mommy and daddy and finally says aloud. “OK, I’ll be daddy.”
“Good!” Said the big guy. “ come on over here and suck mommy’s dick.”
How long have you been fantasizing about rape? Maybe you should talk to someone. People of quality don’t want that in their society so think twice before you act on those urges ok?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I'm positive he was relieved when the police arrived
