You mean prison rape isn’t common?
I can’t speak for the public… but I find the prospect terrifying and can’t see how it would be wishful thinking.
You mean like… “Oh goodie so glad prisoners get raped and traumatized as well as locked up, cut off from the community, fed garbage, and forever marked as criminals, making them a permanent non voting underclass that can only get the worst jobs, and only live in the worst places till they die…because justice?”
