Nah, five minutes, but some of us have jobs and a life so can’t get onto the Marmot every waking hour.

The eldest son of my mother's ex-husband is in a federal prison for interstate trafficking in child pornography. Compelled by Christian values of compassion and forgiveness, my mother and grandmother sent letters to him in prison. In his replies, he horrified the little old ladies with revolting stories of prison sex. Correspondence ceased. I'd say he's beyond the cut-off Tom mentioned in comment #24. As the NYT story noted and Brendon reminded us in comment #6, one reason why our prison population is huge is because we incarcerate people for non-violent offenses, even minor ones thanks to those three-strikes laws. @#20:

While everyone has enough decency to frown and even abhor the practice of... ass-raping, there's still that side of everyone who wants to see retributive justice (well... not necessarily see) carried out. I guess everyone has different brightlines. Personally, I don't wish ass-raping for anyone... mostly because I'm a bleeding-heart flaming social liberal. But I can definitely see myself cheering for one (once again, not in person) when it concerns someone like Timothy McVeigh, Osama, etc. @#24

Just think if you hadn't worked with ex-cons in University, the US could be as free of ass-raping as Korea. What did you do to have such a profound influence on those ex-cons to get them back into prison abd turn them unto as ass-rapers. ;-) Benicio -+ “American prisons do have a lot of ass raping because I used to work with several ex-cons back in university.”

FYI and honestly, I have mixed feelings about this. I would like to believe that I dont wish an ass rape on anyone, regardless of their crime. At the same time, I wouldnt shed a tear if someone like OJ got double penetrated.

Let's just say their initials are AB. He was well on his way to being an inmate until he realized what direction his life was taking. He reformed himself and, ironically, became a prison guard. Now, he's a parole officer. I've had to visit friends who were locked up and that is no picnic! My cousin was a member of one of those organizations that is big in the pen.
