already proven with multiple statistics that prison rape and violence is a serious problem in american prisons, you're the one that is claiming it's the south making everyone look bad, even though the midwest (aka [I]not the south[/I]) has the exact same issues, which instantly proves that the south isn't just "making everyone look bad". you're awful.

you have literally no idea what burden of proof is or how it works
"i'm [I]guessing[/I] there are statistics that prove you wrong, so please find them for me and prove yourself wrong. huh? no of course i'm not going to make my own point, that's your job!"
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;36543706]I don't know how many prisons you've been to but generally inmates at the ones I've seen aren't living under threat of being raped.[/QUOTE]
You're kidding, right? Getting some ass is more important than eating to some people in prison.

U.S. Prisons aren't really built for rehabilitation, and these private prisons exist for profit. There's a lot of exploitation that can be made with the private prison sector, especially the labor prisoners do (pretty much slavery).

[QUOTE=MR-X;36535742]I worked in corrections in Texas, I have many friends who actually work in state prisons.
Guess what guys, the prison guards are in the same shit the inmates are in. They don't get AC. They don't get to chill out in a control room, they're on the floor with all the inmates constantly moving, transporting and doing their daily duties. It isn't like it is 110+, it is just hot and humid at times. Hell the jail i worked at had AC and it was still hot and muggy. I had to deal with it every day in full BDU's and duty gear, they can handle it imo.
Prisons cost enough money, add the cost of AC (electricity costs a lot in Texas) and they're going to go over budget quickly. I don't feel bad for them in any shape or form, they did something to get themselves there.[/QUOTE]
Well it's still bad if prisoners, even if just a handful, are dying because of goddamn heat stroke. If we don't plan on giving them AC, let's give them water.

Yeah about that...
[QUOTE=Kopimi;36544176]you are the absolute worst
you wanted state by state statistics because you were worried the south was making the rest of the country look bad. wiki says 21% of inmates in the MIDWEST have been coerced or pressured into sex while incarcerated, yet that somehow doesn't answer your question? you really want me to pull up statistics for each individual state to see what percentage of inmates have been raped on a state-by-state basis because you're too lazy to google it yourself?

if you're going to be this lazy find them yourself, you have the internet and if you're this desperate to find these completely benign statistics you're more than capable of doing it on your own[/QUOTE]
The problem with prison statistics, especially involving inmates themselves - is that a lot of the issues go unreported.
Would you want to admit to someone that you were raped in prison? Plus, the backlash of 'snitching' can also be a factor.
A lot of prison rapes go unreported.
