It has always seemed weird that people are completely okay with all of the butt rape that occurs in prison. Like, being in prison isn't enough for smoking a weed, that you need to get butt raped for the offense too to make it official

There's a sizable portion of the population that thinks a lot about raping guys in the butt and news about people going to prison allows them to express those feelings.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Stereotypes come from somewhere, generally, even if they end up being gross exaggerations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_rape_in_the_United_States

quote:

In a survey of 1,788 male inmates in Midwestern prisons by Prison Journal, about 21% claimed they had been coerced or pressured into sexual activity during their incarceration, and 7% claimed that they had been raped in their current facility.

It does, but not to the extent you probably think it does. My buddy has been in prison for several years and it's never been an issue with him. Then again neither have gangs. Or so he says.

I love this video, this got posted in the Ask a Cop thread a while back because apparently the guy driving by and filming is also a cop. The question was both "How did he get stuck in the window" and "why didn't the other guy help" and all the cops in there said the exact same thing. Guy was probably trying to get in the car through the window because the water is above the bottom of the door and he didn't want to flood the car, belt got caught on the window frame. Guy filming didn't help because he was way too busy driving back to the station to show everyone else this hilarious video of their co-worker.

I think it comes down to whether someone views a prison term as retribution or rehabilitation.

I counted 265 years. Will these be served in series or simultaneously? I'm not familiar with the US justice system.

Depends, after considering a number of aggravating and mitigating circumstances the judge will determine whether the time will be consecutive or concurrent. Sometimes it gets weird and the some of the sentences are concurrent with each other (multiple counts of the same charge) and others are consecutive. 265 years for rape, even serial rape, is totally unheard of so we're probably looking at an absolute bare minimum of whatever the longest sentence was (like 20 years?).

Then you throw parole in there and the possibility then becomes he gets out in 5 or 10.

There were multiple counts that carried 30, I believe. (Rape in the first degree, I think.)

Yeah, sentencing is a completely different animal than the actual trial here in the US. The judge and the jury in the case can both recommend sentences, (which was definitely what was going on here) but it's up to the sentencing judge to decide entirely. On the bright side, that's the part where "speedy trial" rights really kick in, and they won't hold you in purgatory forever waiting to decide.

Then you throw parole in there and the possibility then becomes he gets out in 5 or 10.

It can also depend on when the crimes were committed. If several crimes were committed at the same time like 3 counts of kidnapping because you took your kids away from their legal guardian, the judge might let you serve the sentences associated with that crime concurrently because they were committed at the same time. On the other hand, if it was a series of armed robberies committed over several months, the sentences might be served consecutively. If you do enough poo poo that the judge wants you to serve consecutive sentences of crimes committed at the same time, you really really hosed up big time.

The judge is largely the arbiter on how sentences will be carried out unless a law has been passed to limit their discretion like minimum sentencing and 3 strikes laws.

Something tells me George Zimmerman is a rapist or will be a rapist. The stories from his ex-wife are pretty bad. Also he makes money by selling paintings commemorating the time he killed a child.

Considering how many times he committed rape, and felt zero remorse until he got caught, I say toss him in jail with no possibility of parole. People like that rear end in a top hat make me sick, especially ones that abuse any power they might have.

Just like that. The jurors decide on each count independently from each other. Would you rather he go through 36 separate trials, each lasting a week at best?

This one is brilliant. Too many cyclists are absolute tossers like these two. I encounter it every weekend and its always the same - middle aged men who suddenly think they are Bradley Wiggins and have no respect for the actual rules of the road. Specifically you are not allowed to ride side by side on bikes like these two and if you are on a bike on the road you must be in control of it.

Nah, motorcycles can, but bikes in a lot of places are supposed to be single file on the side of the lane, specifically so cars can pass without going in to the oncoming lane. It's about traffic safety and flow.

Eh, don't pay him any mind. He's just looking for a way to think he's better than a stranger on the internet for not finding the humor in a rapist getting raped. I'll give it to him. He's a better person than me. But I'm more interesting.
