prison guards, a tough job but somebodys got to do it

eeyep. I dated a prison guard. He says that this type of thing doesn't happen anymore mostly. But, that's over here on the East coast. And maybe he's just not saying all he knows.

Hmmmm - they were sure a poxy lot, speaking en massely, when I worked in the system - but that was a long time ago. One prays they are better now.

It IS a tough job.

A brother of mine worked as a prison guard, in Iowa, I think it was. He did not mention those things, but he said the job degrades the spirit. He had to quit at close to a year of service.

I can't believe they said the guards 'shouldn't use their tools to watch porno"...

yeah, use their tools to do WHAT good job? I didn't get that quote, either.

um well no comment re sofia but the reference was to having computers with internet access.

Well....I think, with mins, tool usage is a given when watching porno...
It is better than poking the inmates.

odd thing perhaps or maybe its just changing times but the New Federal Super Max prison here in Colorado as had problems with women guards getting intricate with the inmates.

I should be sexually equal with my barbs. I imagine the wimmin can be predators, as well.

SAVE THE MALES!!

Women need our help and support.
But we are all living in society together, and everyone is subject to the same forces, expectations, demands and bigotry.
Men need our help and support just as much, or nothing will really change overall.


Excerpt from http://www.menweb.org/throop/abuse/abuse.html
A quarter of prisoners aged 18 to 25 claim they have been sexually assaulted while in custody

"The fight against rape in our communities is doomed to failure and will remain an exercise in futility as long as it ignores the network of training grounds for rapists: our prisons, jails and reform schools."


"Facts and myths" from http://www.menweb.org/dateviol/malerape.htm
The most common site for male rape involving post-puberty victims is in prison.
False:
Research indicates that the most common sites for male rape involving post-puberty victims are outdoors in remote areas and in automobiles (the latter usually involving hitchhikers).


Excerpt from http://www.gmu.edu/facstaff/sexual/sexual_stats.html#facts3
1 in 5 men will be raped or sexually assaulted in their life.


From http://new.crosswalk.com/news/1169629.html
Stemple said she was amazed to discover that the FBI explicitly defines 'forcible rape' as the rape of females only. "It's just blatantly discriminatory against men," she said.

"When men are raped, it's put into a lesser category of either simple assaults or a sex offense," Stemple said.
...
"We have two million people in prison in the U.S. and one out of ten men in prison say that they've been raped," she said. "By just completely ignoring that, we're not really getting an accurate view of exactly what is going on in terms of all violent crime."

With one out of every 140 people in the United States behind bars, the question of prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse can no longer be ignored. The staggering numbers of people filling the country's prisons and jails mean that what happens in these institutions is necessarily of consequence to society, for most prisoners do, finally, return to the communities from which they came.
