Criminal justice data from feds: Prison rape, jail pop, executions
From the Bureau of Justice Statistics, here are several new reports that may interest Grits readers:
It appears that Texas was really slacking in 1996 but made up for it 3 years later. While trying to play catch-up, able to almost match the 49 other states' totals. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the numbers regarding prison rape are nowhere near the true numbers. First, the Lt. on deck is inclined to self report that his Unit is out of control. He will remove the victim from the dorm or pod and place them in PC. PC, being full of 6'5" gays and tiny people and sometimes just a few feet away from the rapists. There they are strong armed into buying protection from but pirates with lisp.
ReplyDeleteThere are those that report it & those that deal with the rapists directly. So, if you run across someone with no balls and / or missing a portion of his dick, chances are that he was dealt with. Sometimes, it takes a while to locate and deal with them but when it comes to taking someone's manhood, time is on the victim's side.
*It would nice to see data on the amount of inmates taken to the prison hospitals for genital related injuries. And, the numbers for ex-cons taken to free world hospitals.
