Raped inmate sues prison service

St Albans Prison is a forbidding looking place, I drive past there when visiting my buddy who lives just outside the city.
 
No specifics, but he was not the sort of person who would do well in a place like that, and he a broken person, partly as a result of his time there.

Why didn't they send him to a rehabilitation center or what you call it? They mostly send people to that for minor crimes.

He was in both a major prison, and a rehabilitation centre. I'm not sure it was a minor crime he was in for either, just not necessarily a premeditated one.
 
What goes around comes around. What did this guy do that he ended up in jail? Is access to the justice system the same in this country for prisoners and civilians alike? prisoners have more rights and pleasures then our old folk in old age homes.

What if you were raped in a holding cell while wrongly arrested or wrongly serving time in jail for a crime you did not commit. SA has released several 'rapists' from prison after it came to light that witnesses/victims lied or they were proven to be innocent of the crime by way of new DNA evidence.

Be careful what you wish for. The way you treat people or accept treatment of them even though they are guilty says a lot about society. He did the crime, he's doing the time for his crime and there is no reason to rape, assault, kill etc someone behind bars. Doing things like this makes you no better than the criminal behind bars.

Sorry this is not directed at you but just a general statement.

Did you even read the article? :erm:

I met someone recently who spent time in that prison, and by all accounts it is a very, VERY bad place to be.

Yeah I read it, criminals lie, it's in their nature. They are doing hard time for actual crimes, no need to sensationalize it.
 
Our Prisons are just as corrupt as the government they serve, If we had a decent government most of this type of chit would sort itself out.
 
Problem is that what goes around does not come around, karma is a trendy comforting concept that is complete bs, just ask bob mugabe.

People do get raped in prison but this is more random, a guy in jail for weed possession getting raped for example isn't fair.

Not that I give a crap, just saying.
 
Do they ever go out normal after prison? :D
What's normal and what's insane?

In the words of Steve Buscemi aka Garland Green:

"What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?"
 
Obviously now the prison wardens must be imprisoned for being violent vicious criminals, and we're going to need a new set of prison wardens to torture them.

Yeah I read it, criminals lie, it's in their nature.
So do the police and prison wardens.
 
Horrific. :( :sick:

I couldn't even bring myself to read the whole article.

We cannot as a society treat prison inmates like this. If this did indeed happen then these guards are sick. They need to be removed from duty and have their day in court.
 
O please u hippie.

This is why criminals get away with what they do. Ahhhh shame poor criminal had his anus raped. Awwww poor little baby.

They should ass rape them everyday and make their lives hell, just like those fkers have done over and over to the people of SA. Prison should not be a nice little place you go after you have raped and murdered someone. It should be hell on earth.

Granted your petty thieves should be given a chance to redeem themselves but the hardened crims should get butt fked daily. Make criminals fear prison.

The f**k is with people in this thread? No wonder SA is so messed up.

Can't believe people think it's acceptable to let people get raped in prisons and holding cells. It's not only violent scum that gets arrested.

Wonder if your opinion will be the same if you get arrested for forgetting about a speeding ticket or on a false charge and end up getting violently raped and infected with AIDS.

Or will you just tell us you deserved it?

And if you think being treated with violence will at all make them a better person then I sure as f**k hope you don't get put in a position of authority.
Prison has turned petty criminals into hardened, violent career criminals thanks to that mindset.

If you took the time to read my entire post you would see the last line of text and you would not look like a fool.

I say rape and torture hardened criminals, make jail scary, make it a place people fear.

in case you missed it in previous post i will even put in black text for you to ensure you actually see it this time.

I suppose you support the death penalty and believe it stops crime right?

No idea but it lightens up the jails and makes space for more criminals. I would prefer torture daily for the duration of their sentence though. much much better than the death penalty but in this country we are overwhelmed by criminals so a couple hundred slaughtered every month would help.

You kill you die. Eye for an eye bitch. Whether it stops crime is debatable but it may stop violent crime and it may make criminals think twice about murder.

I doubt it will stop crime dude, violent crime well it could help. Instead of murder it may just be robbery which is fine. I don't see why criminals need to murder people but with our relaxed justice system why not murder them.
