This is a country that proudly raped prisoners in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay.
It’s a country that believes prison rape within the state system is part of the punishment for criminality. Literally “don’t drop the soap” used as a threat aimed at people accused of crimes.
Old enough to remember how D.A.R.E. officers would recount sexual assault in prisons as a means of scaring people off drug use. Americans deeply and indelibly believe in the power of corrective rapes. It is embedded in our culture.

Previous boss was a Coastie that was deployed for prison duty. I made a lot of snide rapist comments when I was pissed at him.
