Drugs have nothing to do with consent.

I agree, something being prohibited has nothing to do with consent.

Well go argue with the law, not sure why you are bothering me with what the news reports

The law doesn't call it non-consensual or rape either. Just says it's not allowed.

An anonymous Washington DOC employee told National Review that there is “technically” no consensual sex among incarcerated individuals, but that “Washington has been mitigating the sanctions on offenders involved” if both parties claim the intercourse is consensual, resulting in “less trouble” for the offenders.

Rape is non-consenual sex. DOC employee said there is no consensual rape among inmates.

both parties claim the intercourse is consensual, resulting in “less trouble” for the offenders.

Also:

there is no consensual rape among inmates.

Technically true, but you're just further showing your misunderstanding of language.

In a follow-up email, Wright said he should not have used the word “consensual,” “since there technically is no such thing

If the government declared two men could not consent to having sex with each other would you call gay men rapists? Or would you say that's not how those words work?

Maybe you struggle with laws but that’s how laws work. If someone says it’s ok to kill them and you do. It’s still murder. Have a good day.

I agree. Just because the law says something is ethical (like murdering gay people) that doesn't mean it's actually ethical.

Similarly, just because the law says something is unethical (like two prisoners consenting to having sex) that does not make them rapists.
