Abu Ghraib is nothing compared to what happens in uber blue state prisons.

Let’s see....prisoners aren’t voters so who cares?

Contrary to popular belief, most of the perpetrators were not other prisoners but staff members—corrections officials whose job it is to keep inmates safe.

These disgusting scumbags should all be executed after being repeatedly sodomized with baseball bats. This is a national disgrace that all Americans should be ashamed of.

Prison rape is a horrible problem that needs to be addressed but it is the tip of the iceberg. Correctional facility staff are some of the most corrupt, unprofessional people on the face of the earth. Bringing drugs in, playing favorites among prisoners, holding grudges and taking it out on prisoners. Its a mess. And the administrators rely on the fact that the public thinks that prisoners deserve bad conditions to resist change. This is one rare area where government definitely needs to “do something.”

American prisons have the highest concentration of likely democrat voters in the US. It’s not surprising violence and criminal behavior go on in liberal bastions.

I have worked with men who have been arrested for misdemenors like possesion or public drunkeness and who have been repeatedly raped in jail. Horrific. Our jails have turned into torture chambers.

Mind you, I have no problem with capital punishment, I have no problem with imprisoning the guilty, I do have a problem with using prisoners to torture other prisoners or to have prisoners do the work the state needs to do, such as execution. When prisoners kill a person like a mass murderer, that is in my opinion, a failure of our justice system.

Few advocate for the imprisoned. But in this increasingly totalitarian society we are all closer to imprisonment than we can imagine

"In 2009 Holder essentially rejected standards recommended by a bipartisan commission that spent years studying the problem of prisoner rape."

Will this be on the Front page of the NY Times a few dozen times?

Once?

“Contrary to popular belief, most of the perpetrators were not other prisoners but staff members—corrections officials whose job it is to keep inmates safe.”

I don’t buy that most of the rapes were from the guards. Most of the rapes might have been facilitated by the guards, though. I think the prison industry has an interest to keep the recidivism rate high, someone who goes to prison for a minor crime who is treated like a beast might be more likely to act like a beast when released.

Let’s try this again. I said being conservative breaks no law. Is this true or not? Simple question. Only requires a yes or no answer.

Do some who call themselves conservative break the law? Regretably but certainly.
