Sex farms for prison guards. A recent news story about a prison shootout exposed a sad and shocking aspect of the United States' vast penal system - that many female inmates, even juveniles as young as 13, are prostitutes to corrupt guards. Of course, this is really no surprise as this country has long been in the habit of crimininalizing and warehousing Gen-Xers and then not caring about them afterwards, so that it is now the developed nation with the greatest proportion of its citizens behind bars - a dubious distinction for the "Land of the Free." Ex-Inmates Say Prison Sex Abuse Rampant But now that Millennials are rising into young adulthood, this corruption is finally getting the attention it deserves. And while we're on the subject, is it any wonder something like Abu Ghraib could happen, given that our penal system is a country-wide sex abuse nightmare? If we're going to be exporting freedom and justice to far-flung places, we could use a lot more here at home. Posted by Steve at 6:09 PM |
