[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I mean, I'd say it's expected.
That's the point. The common wisdom thinks it's not only tolerable but good for criminals to rape one another in prison. You hear jokes made about convicted criminals getting raped. Prison rape shocks the conscience less than civilian rape.
I think it shouldn't. I think we shouldn't turn a blind eye to prisoners raping each other (and guards raping prisoners) any more than to their murdering each other.

Hmm. Your common wisdom is harsher than mine. I do see it as "a bonus reason to not go to jail," but it's not the only one -- shanking and other illegal things that happen there are int he same box in my head.

Look at all the jokes that were made about Martha Stewart's cellmate.

Perhaps my not having seen any jokes about her cellmate reflects the composition of my common wisdom.
I've interpreted it as expected, near inevitable, but to be avoided by not going to jail, just like selling yourself for extra cigarettes or being stabbed in the shower for looking at the NOI guy wrong.
That's all. I'm not challenging your conventional wisdom. I'm explaining mine.

Coincidently, Sean just posted the lyrics to the song "Date Rape" over in Bitches that talks about it, too.

That's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
even though he now takes it in the behind.
(eta: Nevermind...)
Nope, the DOJ just started a survey to track prison rape in 2003. There's been no national study before, but there have been statewide studies that suggest the number is pretty high.
Jim Goad did a piece on prison rape in Answer Me! years ago that I remember reading. Will try and dig up...
Right now, his mold to me (Firefly notwithstanding) is X-Files. So creepy, dark, FBI? Check.
Yep. When he appeared on Angel my reaction was "OMG, Knowle Rohr!"
Does anyone have a link to AB's post about being on "The Inside"?
I cannot for the life of me remember my username for the FF board!
D'oh! I hit post before I meant to: for "pretty high" substitute "100-150K." Because "pretty high" conveys nothing at all.
Ooo, you have Answer Me? I'm jealous.
