Yep, it's pure evil. Every guard involved is morally culpable for the rapes they cause

    sodomy in US prisons is a JOKE to Americans.

    Rape is practically universal in US prisons. The problem is vastly underreported, we'll never know the true extent of it. It's not just inmates (of all kinds), the guards revel in it.

    ... and we have more prisoners than any other country, there are millions of inmates.

    Of course, we could make the guards wear cameras with every room being monitored, but I guess why bother? We're not going to charge them anyway.

    Every conservative you have ever met supports this. Every single one.

    Its my fault for coming to lemmy hoping for some mindless escapism. I get gut punched each time I open my feed. My understanding of the world shows me a bleaker, more disgusting image every time. I appreciate you sharing this and opening my eyes, thanks.

    Knowing the truth is important. So is staying strong enough to fight. Part of staying strong enough to fight is tending to your emotional well-being.

    Please take breaks when you need. Friendship and sunsets and butterflies still exist. Use them as often as you can🫂

    You either gotta use an app/front-end with filters, or accept having your mind expanded, be it for good or ill (or both, since one can lead to the other).

    I prefer the second option 99/100, but I do have an app that's heavily filtered for when I just can't bear the ugliness of the world for a few hours.

    when you see people argue that trans women should be in men's prisons, understand that this is what they argue in favor of.

    Also keep in mind: trans women are toys in prison. They want to keep them in longer, they give them sex offender charges for resisting (the trans sexual predator claim comes from this partly, other than that is that many trans women turn to prostitution to survive, which is a sex offence)

    On top of that, BOP policy is to cut off hormones and do conversion torture. So they toss you in a cell to be raped like a woman, while trying to torture you into not being one.

    Cutting of hormones is worse than simply forcing a detransition. Suddenly stopping produces effects similar to menopause until her natural testosterone return to typical male levels. Depending on what other procedures she has had done, a transwomen without artificial hormones may never return to healthy hormone levels for either gender.
