Is this why Fuentes has been dead quiet after the backlash of "Your Body, My choice" tweets? (slrpnk.net)

And here's your annual reminder that all prison sentences in the United States are sentences to state-sanctioned slavery and rape.

The more you know.

I just looked this up and found two surprises.

  1. Prison rape seems to be in the low single digit percentages. The highest estimates seem to be a 20% life time chance. That's still way too high but also a far cry from "all".
  2. The abnormally large prison population in the US gives it the dubious honor of being the only country in the world where men are raped more than women.

The idea of prison rape being in the low single digits is also being extraordinarily conservative when we consider how safe someone feels to answer honestly in that kind of poll, especially if they were to answer from prison on a life sentence.

Good luck getting accurate answers in circumstances where revealing the conditions in which you exist might worsen or end your existence.

That’s a reasonable argument. It’s so reasonable that several researchers have tried to come up with better estimates and failed. The highest I could find was that 20% lifetimes rate. If you can find better data please share it. I’d love to see it.
