In this case sexual assault is almost a guarantee. If for no other reason at all, that one should be enough to warrant her being housed in a women's prison.
I love beehaw. The leftists here are shining examples of how we as a society should behave. We universally distain what she stands for and what she has done, but pretty much all of us advocate for her humane treatment. I am so thankful that I signed up for this instance instead of one of the others.
We're not going to get our wish either way, unfortunately. I very seriously doubt that rape is only commonplace in men's prisons. Our prisons appear to be specifically designed to encourage and maximize prisoners raping each other, because everyone on the outside considers that part of the punishment (“don't drop the soap”).
Your comment made me curious, so I looked it up and found a 2006 study that says you are absolutely correct, inmate-on-inmate sexual violence is almost 4 times higher in women's prisons: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2438589/
I seriously did not expect that.
Wow. I expected it to be lower but still prevalent. Definitely didn't expect it to be four times higher.
I am sure sexual assault does not happen man on man in prison... lol
Sexual assault in prison is implied as part of the punishment and society does not care.
You aren't the first person who has that idea. Everybody is aware of that risk. That is why she is almost certainly going to be protective solitary confinement the whole time.
