EPTI also assumed that there were female guards for female prisoners. Not that that would make a rape situation impossible, but a lot more unlikely.

Like people from a different organisation regularly checking up on prisoners, cameras, things like that. Especially cameras, i just assumed that prisons are basically full of them.

What makes you think that would make it a lot more unlikely? | ||

What I mean is this - I live in the Bronx, every night there is a news story about some robbery or stabbing or what have you. While those things are shitty, they are not news, nor do they warrant any real discussion beyond the local police station and courthouse. If there was a trend of robberies increasing, then that would be worth discussing. | ||

Thus all other things like the chance of a guard wanting to rape a prisoner etc... being the same, you have a far higher chance of having a group of men conspire to rape female prisoners then a group of women, simply based on the fact that heterosexuals are a large majority of people. Heterosexuals are a large majority of people, but female prison guards is a skewed subset of that group. | ||

Memories of assault or rape?.... I don't think think TL has ever been a safe haven for victims though, so I don't see a reason to change the title, we could get rid of all the " insert gamertag was raped" or "insert team name is raping" first, and take a good step forward though. | ||

Public discussion/description of rape can be a trigger to panic attacks etc to people have been raped. When posting sensitive things like this it is generally wise to spoiler tag everything under a big "trigger warning" label. On topic, this is one of the most horrific things I've seen come out of a civilized nation in quite some time. I hope the fallout from this is severe, and leads to proper legislation to stop rape in the penal system. | ||

How is this more horrific than the male prison rape problem which has long been known and publicly joked about? | ||

They could still bite it off though, if the guards shot them and killed the prisoners they'd have to give a reason, and the guard would be most likely going to the ER for having his dick bit off. If it happened more than once(which it obviously prolly would) it'd be kinda hard not to put 2+2 = 4 imo. | ||

At least thats a moral distinction. You put criminals into a confined space your going to get beatings, rapes and murders-- theres no realistic way of stopping that.

Most people would rather swallow than die, even if they get to go down hurting their aggressor. | ||

I don't think it's possible to always intervene on the first example, but guards raping prisoners should never happen in the first place. To respond to both of you, that's actually not the case. A substantial portion of male prison rape is carried out by facility staff. It happens all the time, but it's apparently only a problem when female inmates are the victims. Male disposability at its finest. | ||

Nobody deserves to be raped. Yes, Guantanamo is imo one of the two or three big publicly known stains of the American history. Doesnt make stuff like this any better, just because it's more common. | ||

If that's the case, I don't think one is worse than the other, in an objective equality standpoint, both are awful and should not be happening.

But there is a way of ensuring the guards arent adding to those figures. A subtle problem in all of this though is that, prison rape is not a discussion until it is a male raping a female. Prison guards have been raping inmates for quite some time in male prisons. http://stuartschneiderman.blogspot.com/2013/04/prison-guards-and-prison-guardesses.html https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/displayArticle.aspx?articleid=21225&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 These articles show even female guards can rape male inmates. Females being raped in prison should not be treated as a special case. More reports of guards raping inmates in US prisons. http://rt.com/usa/guards-alabama-prison-stevenson-173/ Edit: Interestingly enough a quick Google search of "prison guard rapes prisoner" brings up this article about 4 times as much as any other involving male raping male, female raping female, or female raping male. | ||
