Child Rapist Sues for getting raped in jail

[Mjolnir]

IFF (if and only if) it can be verified that the guards leaked his crime and he actually went to the warden complaining and nothing happened do I think he has "a case".

The irony of this does not escape me (or him) in that the psychological scars are similar to the ones he infected upon others...

Karma can be a bitch, yeah...

So it cost everyone who lives there a few bucks there for a chomo to get raped? Win.

I'm willing to donate a couple bucks towards a nice shiv.

If the guards or even the warden leaked his crime, I still have zero sympathy. Word gets around and it's not like he was innocent. I'm also sure the warden is a very busy man.

You miss the point in its entirety...

If it can be proven that they went out of their way and refused to protect him (as they are required to do by law) they are culpable for some portion of this jackwagon's claim.

Prisoners are basically ward's of the state. That means the state is responsible for their safety and well being. Allowing him to get raped means they should be responsible.


FWIW I think SCOTUS nixing the death penalty for rape was wrong but but throwing them to the wolves in prison isn't the right thing to do by the state's responsibility to seek justice.

I completely understood your point, I just don't care. I think there are certain lines that once crossed revoke any and all claims you might make. If the warden himself raped this guy while guards held him down, I still wouldn't support agree that he is entitled to anything except a shiv in the ribs.

Problem is we have a "legal system" rather than a "justice system." If we had a justice system this guy would already be dead.

Blame the Supreme Court not a lack of 'prison justice'. I'm all for executing child rapists and rapists in general. But I'd rather not delve down into sending people to be raped by Bubba in prison because our government didn't do the right thing.

I was actually thinking about the death penalty for rape today before I saw this thread, but I came up with a problem.

Under the current system, the rapist often leaves the victim alive, although not always. If they knew the penalty for rape was death (the same as murder), wouldn't they now have an incentive to kill the only witness (the victim) instead of just leaving?

I know if you're a rapist that doesn't mean you're also a murderer, but if the penalty is the same but murdering the victim after the rape makes being caught less likely, wouldn't anyone just kill the victim after?

I have a hard time believing a rapist will think "well if I kill her the penalty is the same as rape so I might as well kill her." If they operated on that level they wouldn't be out raping people in the first place.
