Maybe it isn't violent, but it all sounds rather non-consensual - rape by coercion.I can speak only for myself, but in my own time in the New York State system, I rarely saw or even heard about non-consensual sex between men.

But more common, from what I could see, was an older prisoner taking a young and inexperienced kid under his wing. Most often, this kid has no money and likes to get high; there are many such people in prison, and they tend to burn their bridges early and totally. And so the older man, who has usually already served major time, feeds the kid, and gets him a little something to smoke or snort. Now the kid has become a "fish." They start working out together, then showering together, then there is a massage, and finally, the kid is asked to "help" the older guy out. He's "no homo," but he has needs...

In any case, very few bugarons—at least not the ones I personally came across or heard about—operate by force.
A friend of mine once made me visualize the rivers of semen that have been flushed away down prison toilets.
This is the greatest article I have ever read in my entire life.
I'd take solitary thanks.
Consensual sex between incarcerated men happens all the time. There are rules against it, as it is considered an "unhygienic act," and you can go to the Special Housing Unit (aka the Box) for it. Which is ironic, because then you will be locked in a room with another man for 24 hours of the day, with barely any supervision. Solitary, at least in New York State, is not solitary at all but á deux, as it is cheaper to house men this way. If ever there was a venue for either forcible or consensual sex between men, it is therein provided.
So no one is going to talk about the rolled up towel sex toy? So we are all just going to pretend we never tried it huh? Alright we'll play that game.
I find it interesting that someone capable of writing so well (indicative of a good education) would be in prison on armed robbery charges.
There ain't nothing gay about getting your dick sucked! You're the ones that're gay for sucking my dick!
In fact, it creeps me out just being around you fags! Alright, get down on your knees and open your mouths.
robbed some old ladies (always apologetic about it)
Well, as long as he's apologetic about it. He did his time, so he's entitled to be out and about and to write and pursue literary celebrity. And I am entitled to continue to think anyone who would use a weapon to rob another human, especially an elderly one, of their possessions is a giant quivering douchebag, regardless of how long they spent in prison for it.
