A man was sexually assaulted in jail
This kind of shit has to stop. The jailers must help held accountable. I understand this is difficult due to bad laws, but the laws need to change.
Too bad half the political spectrum wants prisons to be as terrible as possible.

I can't believe you would pass up an opportunity to say oubliette!
Yeah, prison rape shouldn't exist.
