What the hell?
Preventing prison rape is 100% the responsibility of the guards, and absolutely, emphatically, 0% the responsibility of the inmates.
The very existence of this film implies that the inmates have a responsibility to protect themselves while literally being directly under government supervision, which is absurd, inhumane, and blame-shifting. “If you had protected yourself better in prison, despite us literally having armed guards around you, maybe it wouldn’t have happened. So it’s partially your fault, you know.”
It also makes the very name “Department of Corrections” a total farce. A purely punitive system with no corrective intent would probably be safer and more humane than this, when we stop pretending there is any rehabilitative value for being there.
- dekken_ 3y agoI think part of the problem might be the population that think people who are sent to prison "deserve" to be raped. Glad to be wrong here tho
- Terr_ 3y ago> What the hell? Preventing prison rape is 100% the responsibility of the guards, and absolutely, emphatically, 0% the responsibility of the inmates. Some of what's described in the video is more like grooming/pressure-tactics, as opposed to outwardly-visible violence. I wouldn't expect guards to be the front-line that subset. Psychologists, maybe.
