Quote:...I'd say the only hope of preventing HIV infection in a prison population is to quarantine newcomers, then separate the sick from the well. But, then it gets to my point that they are really giving a nod and a wink to homosexual sex between inmates which is denied to the heterosexual population. But, the trend has been to molly coddle our prison populations and simultaneously exponentially swell the numbers. Masked tyranny. I'd rather the reverse were true, prison is hell on Earth, reserved for hardened criminals and no one gets any sex or condoms.
Now, as it pertains to this instance. Handing out condoms isn't going to make a difference in the frequency of anal rape. Instead, it's a reaction to rising issues of HIV spread in our prison systems - at best there is the slight chance of reducing the spread of HIV virus if condoms are made available. It's foolish to think of this as an action meant to change the frequency of anal rape/assault.
