I hear jokes about it all the time, but I want to hear from guys who have worked in prisons... is it really a common occurrence?
I'm sure it happens sometimes, but does everybody in prison have to watch out for their cornhole or is it just something that's blown out of proportion? |
|
Read something a couple years ago that said statistically MEN are twice as likely to be raped as women if you count the prison system.
|
|
Yes it does, my step dad works for the Alabama state prison..he says it goes on all the time.
|
|
Damn you CK you beat me to it... |
|
|
According to Human Rights Watch, there more than 140,000 instances of nonconsensual sexual acts being committed in US prisons each year.
|
|
If you dont "Man Up" real quick like the first 24hrs your gonna get violated.
|
|
Other groups have it as high as 240,000. I'm not sure what the current prison population is right now to find out the percentage. |
|
|
sounds like you found out the hard way |
|
|
Hell yeah. The county I used to prosecute in is home to a prison or two, so we would get to prosecute the murders and whatnot that went on behind bars. I recall a prosecution or two for male-on-male rape. The prosecutions were very rare, but based on what the Department of Corrections investigators told me, the occurence of rape wasn't.
|
|
The total US prison population right now is 2.3 million. |

|
Not at all. Yes it happens. Some by choice, other by chance, others by not making the right "friends", and depends on what type of prison. The scene from American History X is true in certain facilities. |
|
|
Isn't prison rape supposed to be the punishment part of your sentence?
Afterall, what is so scary about having your own private 5x10? |
|
Sounds like you got Prison rape fantasies to deal with 2 guys at work used to be prison guards for about 6 yrs. a piece. I hear the stories all the time. Its about 90% black on white attacks also. |

|
I would bet woman get raped more then men, by guards and such.
|
|
I've heard that it happens less in federal prisons.
Have also heard that this was an American thing and that rape and hard time was rare in European countries and also Canada. |
|
So you're saying that as long as you don't make enemies, your anal virginity should stay intact? |

As I understand it, it's not uncommon, depending on a variety of factors.
|
|
It not that common. I think the last stats I saw was something like 5%. Most guys getting bungholed do it for favors.
I did have one guy I sent to prison tell me he was raped 13 times his first night in prison. Said he got AIDS from it, but I think it was probably consentual. |
|
Based on the character of the COs I've known, I think they'd be much inclined to prevent that sort of thing, and to protect potential victims.
|
|
I worked as a corrections officer for 4 1/2 years in a minimum and a maximum security prison. I can only remember maybe two instances of it.
|
|
Took a guy to the infirmary the other day because he was wrestling with his cellie and ended up getting fecal matter impacted into his eurethra.
|
|
When I worked as a CO at a med/max state facility, there seemed to be enough willing partners such that few forcible acts occurred (that we knew of).
|
|
ZOMG, you got teh forcible buttsex0r? Seriously, I don't see why it's a concern. Just make sure you're the rapist rather than rapee when the time comes for prison lovin' |

I've heard this from a number of sources who either claim to be (convincingly) or I know to be involved in corrections. |
|
|
I worked with a con on work release he said blood on my knife or shit on my dick
|
|
|
|
|
Uh. Did you just confess to being raped while on work release? That's rough man. |
|

It absolutely does happen, and quite a lot of the time, the guards can't (or won't, but I tend to give the benefit of the doubt) prevent it. At least in civilian prisons. In military prisons, from what I hear, it generally doesn't happen, but in civilian prisons it's epidemic.
What I hear is, these days, getting into prison for any length of time can pretty much mean you're fucked for life. You're either going to be beholden to a gang, on the outside too, or will have been used as bubba's sex toy, or killed or seriously injured (say, if a gang doesn't trust you), or such... |
|
They do a lot of butt hole stitching at UTMB Medical Branch in Galveston, Tx. They have a prison Hospital section there. |
|
|
It happens. The frequency probably depends on a number of factors.
Like others have noted, there are plenty of guys who go into prisons and are so scared that they will consent to sex for protection or simply to avoid fighting. This often eliminates the need for rape, though it doesn't rule it out entirely. |
|
God I hope so...

In the USA, the highest suicide statistic is: White males, 18 to 30, in prison for non-violent crimes. Go figure it out. |
|
|
I liked this part, it could happen in the pen too . . . |
|
|
It is impossible NOT to make enemies. It can be very, very hard to make friends. |
