Default Prison rape

An interesting article on the horrors of this crime and societies tacit approval.

It's a terrible scandal. Brutalized prisoners are less likely to make upstanding citizens.

For those of you who disagree, wait until there is someone you know and care about who goes to prison.

Somehow I've never known anyone who's been in prison.

Kind of weird, now that I think about it.

Guess I don't know enough minorities.

It sounds like you've never worked construction.

1/3rd of my neighbors (no exaggeration--literally 4 of ~12 houses) at my childhood home in Utah County went to prison. Mostly white collar criminals.

You probably have at least one felon in your ward, Lingo.

Married BYU-I Student Ward.

Odds are extremely low, but it's possible.

Oh, I agree.

I'll be bar-hopping all summer. You know, time away from my wife, the church, school, etc.

Yep. I thought I'd made that clear.

My apologies for misleading you.
