You know what would be terrible to do, get him some help and try to figure out what causes people like this and how to prevent this from happening. Then maybe see if we can fix him and let him live a few years as a free man (maybe 20-30 years from now).

That would be a horrible thing to do.

Sorry man, I understand the impulse, but I don't care what warranty you're offering I wouldn't want that prick out on the street again, ever. His freedom is not worth the risk, at all.

You are one sick puppy....

I read that sex in prison between males in not that common today. Also, prison rape has been dramatically cut down, and prisoners don't want to be known as homosexuals. It's bad for their image.

*For whatever reason the link keeps changing on me. Just copy and paste Prison Life Ask Men

*It's the first link.

5- You probably won&#8217;t get raped in prison

"They don&#8217;t rape and violate the weakest person," according to Prisoner F. "No one was getting raped, not when I was there, because it makes them look bad. They don&#8217;t want any homosexuality because they [don&#8217;t want to be associated with] molesters and rapists&#8230; Those guys get killed. Homosexuality, [inmates] take it as disrespect, and they don&#8217;t want that shit going on. Everybody&#8217;s race feels that way. No one likes homosexuality because we have to take a dump, you have to do #1 all together and shower, you have to live with each other, so you see a lot of your shit, and we don&#8217;t want that shit around. They want men; they want soldiers."

According to the 2008-2009 National Inmate Survey &#8212; which surveyed more than 76,000 adult inmates in state and federal prisons, jails, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. military facilities, and Indian country jails &#8212; the rate of sexual victimization of men in prisons is actually low, especially compared to women: "Female inmates in prison (4.7%) or jail (3.1%) were more than twice as likely as male inmates in prison (1.9%) or jail (1.3%) to report experiencing inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization."

My cousin went to prison for a year and of course I asked him all the usual questions: Was there rape? How did you take a shit in front of someone, etc, etc. He said he didn't see any of that shit and he would hang a sheet taking a shit. He has some pretty good stories. This was at Statesville Chicago.

4- Prisoners receive better medical treatment than you.

Or so Prisoner F believes, due to the treatment he received while incarcerated. According to a 2008-2009 report by the Legislative Analyst&#8217;s Office, it costs California $12,442 per inmate for health care each year, which includes medical care, psychiatric services, pharmaceuticals, and dental care. The life-saving surgery Prisoner F received while he was in prison cost more than $350K.

"Prisoners get the best medical treatment, let me tell you that," he claims. "They get better insurance plans than correctional officers. It&#8217;s not because of my lawyer&#8230; It&#8217;s their responsibility. I was in the ICU, I had an operation and they had to send me several hours away in an ambulance. They have a hospital on the premises, but they weren&#8217;t set up for the surgery I needed, so they sent me to an outside hospital because they had the equipment. The state pays for that."

Prisoner F goes on to talk about the hospital he stayed in during his operation. "It even had a pianist in the hallway. The COs (correctional officers) said, 'Our insurance wouldn&#8217;t get us this&#8230; You&#8217;re in the best possible place that you can be.' I witnessed firsthand that they give a crap about you." Though he notes, of course, armed officers guarded him, and he did have restraints. "I was shackled with ankle bracelets chained to each other, and I had one of my wrists handcuffed to the bed."

I went for 20 months. Usually short timers will never see the worst prisons. Still it was a life altering experience. Plenty of crazy stories but I'm sleepy.

If you're talking about county jail time I've been told that it can get pretty bad in there as well.

Anyway, American jails might be violent. Could you imagine being in a Thai jail? This jail in Thailand is called the Bang Kwang Central Prison. Prisoners are in leg irons for their first 3 months. You share a cell with 45 other inmates. Disease is rife.
