My uncle did 7 years in a high-sec prison in the 80's and he reckons that the whole thing about prison rape is bullshit. He said he never saw anyone get raped but he knew that there were a lot of fags in prison that 'put out'. Granted, this was an aussie prison, so you know little bit different... is America the same? Like, are rapes commonplace or is that just a myth?
Ya have to understand there are different levels of prisons in the US that hold different types. You could go to 4 different facilities and have 4 completely different experiences.
Talking to an ex-prison guard here in AZ yesterday. IIRC she quit because she got stabbed (men's prison). She said depending on which prison it is, rape is an everyday thing. There is a thing called PREA that is supposed to crack down on it. Prison Rape Elimination Act.
There are also apparently prisons that are mainly for DUI out here in addition to the usual low, medium, high risk classifications. There are prisons in the US where rape would be daily, and others where it pretty much never happens.
Ya, I don't believe this is the case. Very few guys go to prison and end up gay if they weren't already going in.
