I am surprised California was not mentioned in this blog. I always had this view of the worst prisons being in California. In movies and television shows sexual abuse in prisons is a topic discussed. A particular movie that always stands out is Shawshank Redemption. Andy's character is targeted by a group of men called the Sisters for no apparent reason. They get off on men resisting them. They beat Andy all the time and then sexually violate him along with the beatings. Men and women have to endure this kind of abuse in prison all the time. If no one puts a stop to it can drive a person insane.ariana dilworth\https://www.blogger.com/profile/08670482052694676317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-44267306014959183572012-04-24T23:28:11.007-07:002012-04-24T23:28:11.007-07:00So we don't have to worry about dropping the s...So we don't have to worry about dropping the soap? It is interesting to know that it is a myth that sexual abuse and assault occur commonly within the walls of prisons. It is kind of like the razor blade in an apple during halloween myth. I'm sure that sexual assault happens, but this seems like a case where one bad apple has spoiled the whole bunch.ajhollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06134747001790882169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-461587764649716292012-04-24T19:04:10.910-07:002012-04-24T19:04:10.910-07:00I think this is the focus of one of Dr. Krienert&#...I think this is the focus of one of Dr. Krienert's study's. I don't believe sexual assault happens as much as media would like us to believe. If i remember correctly Dr. Krienert researched prisons across the country trying to find statistics on prison rape. Her study yielded that there was little first hand accounts of sexual assault going on in the prison visited. the inmates interviewed always said it was not going on here but the next prison over it was rampant. Which tells you that even the prisoners are lead to believe sexual assault goes on in prions across the U.S.Declan Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071869394072445955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-6510786960989547002012-04-23T15:36:18.629-07:002012-04-23T15:36:18.629-07:00Interesting article, like you said most people ass...Interesting article, like you said most people assume that sexual abuse in prison is high according to movies,media,etc this opened my eyes to the reality of it.Kerolos Gabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269071199648584580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-21916636215724091322012-04-22T16:38:57.375-07:002012-04-22T16:38:57.375-07:00I agree that the sex abuse doesnt happen every day...I agree that the sex abuse doesnt happen every day all day in jail but Im sure it happens alot. There are men that are in there for a super long time and they cant just not fulfill their needs. Maybe not everyone reports it as secual abuse because they dont want to be weak but there are some that will report it as sexual abuse because they dont want to look like a homosexual. You never know what is true anymore because media lies, people lie, and word that travels through many people changes from time to time!Brittany Tazziolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07821833484285374696noreply@blogger.com
