Prison rape is wrong.
Jokes about prison rape are wrong.
Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.
BUT
A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

I grew up in California in 1970s. The air was brown and stinky and gave me headaches. A lot of people had asthma and low grade lead poisoning. I left at 19 in large part to get away from the toxic air.
