1) Because of its prison system, the US is the only country in the world where more men are raped than women.
According to the 2011 report from Department of Justice, nearly one in 10 prisoners report having been raped or sexually assaulted by other inmates, staff or both. According to a revised report from the US Department of Justice, there were 216,000 victims of rape in US prisons in 2008. That is roughly 600 a day or 25 every hour.
Those numbers are of victims, not instances, which would be much higher since many victims were reportedly assaulted multiple times throughout the year. Excluding prison rapes, there about 200,000 rapes per year in America, and roughly 91 percent of those victims are women. If these numbers are accurate, this means that America is the only country in the world where more men are raped than women.
Even if the number of unreported rapes outside of prison were substantially larger than most experts believe, the fact that many victims in prison tend to be raped repeatedly would indicate that rape against men is at least comparable to rape against women.
Kendell Spruce was one such inmate, sentenced to six years for forging a check for which he hoped to purchase crack cocaine. In a National Prison Rape Elimination Commission testimony, Spruce said:
“I was raped by at least 27 different inmates over a nine month period. I don’t have to tell you that it was the worst nine months of my life… [I] was sent into protective custody. But I wasn’t safe there either. They put all kinds of people in protective custody, including sexual predators. I was put in a cell with a rapist who had full-blown AIDS. Within two days, he forced me to give him oral sex and anally raped me.”
Spruce was diagnosed with “full blown AIDS” in 2002 and died three years later.

High turnover rates are a lot more profitable than long termers.
Thats why when in a situation like that you snatch the life out of the mthrfkr anyway you can. If you have to stab him in the eyes with a toothbrush, whatever it takes. You get in touch with your mid-evil side, the monster inside you, the third guy. Learned that when I was thirteen years old. You only have to send one or two to the hospital and you will have your respect. Remember humans that respect nothing, will respect FEAR.
Sorry, but this is rape and murder at the hands of the state, preventable in every case.

So fear is nothing? How could anyone respect fear if they respect nothing? I have seen people with no fear, no love and not a care for anyone in this world, including themselves.
But, like you say, kill the sumbitch any way you can and as quick as you can then turn around and look out for his buddies, if he has any.
2:29 is right on. State sanctioned rape. Guards can hear the screams, but do nothing. When you are in the control and custody of the State, they are responsible for your safety.
Would it be okay for students to rape each other in school?
Thats a state-controlled environment, too.

No wonder you hate cops so much. This tells me you spent time locked up.

I think you better clean your crystal ball, and maybe, just maybe, your conscience as well, if you even have one.

Dudette, people hate cops for what cops do that they are not supposed to do. When will you ever get that?
No one should be given a "life sentence" for being in prison for a crime that has not been judged and convicted of a crime punishble of the death penalty.
What a biased report.
Crime is way down because the criminals are in prison. I have a hard time feeling sorry for them. No crime no time.
It is impossible to stop rape in prison. What are you going to do send the rapist to prison? For the most part the prisoners are not crying out for help because then they are beat as well if not killed. Part of the reason for so much solitary confinement is prison rape.
Don't commit crimes then no time. Simple.
If you make your career a criminal you should spend the rest of your life in prison. You chose that knowing about three strikes.

what about the ones who commit no crime but are sent to prison anyway?
what about those who commit crimes but still walk the street? some wearing badges.
Your thinking is antiquated and wrong. if you kept up with current events instead of wrong headed opinions you might know that.
5:08....From THAT post you get that I've been locked up?? LOL!!
You will never make detective. You will forever be doomed to writing seat belt tickets and beating kids up after back-up comes to the scene.
Cops have scoured the Internet, state and federal court records, DMV records (a legal violation, by the way), and anything else they can access trying to find ANYTHING they could post to embarrass me or show why I criticize the police so much.
They got nothing. NOTHING.
And I know how much that really irritates you Gestapo oompah loompahs.
You just can't fathom that there are citizens sick to death of your criminal rampages without having an ax to grind. LOL!! You goof.
Wait!! There goes someone jaywalking!! Drop that donut and go get 'em, boy!!
