Quote:You seem to be missing the point. The State blatantly condoing sex in prison, which implies unequal treatment under the law for heterosexuals, seeing as how they are incarcerated in same sex prisons. There is also the problem of failure to enforce the law against assault in prison, but perhaps that is a separate issue.
Fix the problem, not the symptom. The "health risk" is a symptom of a prison system out of control.
Your last sentence says what I with less succes tried to say a few times before.:) Thanks, I agree.
I actually think (so maybe I'm wrong) that sex in prison (the kind you both want) has never been an issue in the ideas behind the punishment system.
About a difference between hetero and homosexuals, I don't see the reason why this is brought up. As said before in this thread, those rape are often not committed by people that are gay (in the outside world). When you put a lot of men together for a long time like in prisons, submarines, the army, same gender schools 'mental deformations take place.
