Something has happened to vastly reduce prison rapes. I'm not sure how effective PREA is.. sometimes I would see PREA complaints taken seriously, sometimes not.

Something has happened to vastly reduce prison rapes. I'm not sure how effective PREA is.. sometimes I would see PREA complaints taken seriously, sometimes not. PREA was vastly abused in the facilities I was in to get attention from the authorities for some other matter. And tons of false complaints against officers. I never heard of a valid rape complaint. I was older (for a criminal) so I would be on "old man" decks, and that is where they put anyone deemed vulnerable, e.g. gay or trans. Most of the jail population is highly homophobic (at least, they play that role in the jail), as you probably found out, so they would scream and shout and file PREA complaints if any of them were housed with gay guys or trans folk. [also: it is very weird being in a men's jail and seeing transwomen walking around topless with DD breasts hanging out]
