Powerless in Prison: Sexual Abuse Against Incarcerated Women
"I am 7 months pregnant [and] I got pregnant here during a sexual assault. I have been sexually assaulted here numerous times! The jailers here are the ones doing it!"
Surviving a sexual assault and then navigating the health care system to receive adequate counseling and reproductive medical attention is daunting enough for those who walk freely on the outside. For women in prison, these hurdles can seem insurmountable. Unfortunately, sexual assault, particularly guard-on-prisoner sexual assault, is a fact of life for many incarcerated women, and the ensuing implications for their reproductive health are many.

I just dont understand why it is so fucking hard for men to understand that no means fucking no. I think women are going be fighting for their rights until the end of time. It makes me sick.

Prison guards should be castrated. They should be tried and convicted and incarcerated. They should also have to be placed on a national Sex Offenders listing.
