Anal rape is not a defacto thing in US jails or prisons. Is it an epidemic? Almost certainly since the justice department has turned a blind eye to it and LEOs use the threat of it to coerce confessions in a few cases. But actual rape amongst nonviolent convicts is not higher (2-2.5%, according to Wikipedia [1]). You're more likely to be sexually assaulted, in general, just by being a woman. No one is sentenced to anal rape in the US. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_rape_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_rape_in_the_United_State...
