The heights of hilarity: Male rape in American prisons
On
male rape in American prisons: I was watching this very late night TV
show called "Comics Unleashed on CBS," (generally very funny and "edgy")
but then I noticed the host of the show had opened up by a making a
joke about a man getting raped in jail, and everyone laughed as if it
were all really hilarious...
I feel one reason for this is that a
lot of people , especially in states like Oklahoma, say, feel that if
people land in prison they "get what they deserve" and that getting
raped is just part of the package...
It reminds me of the Nixon
tapes, where a couple of his aides were terrified of ending up in jail
because they assumed they would get raped there. Which means nothing has
changed in all these years, it has only gotten worse.
