WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) - A convicted child molester is suing the county after he was raped in the Garfield County Jail.

The man filed the complaint Tuesday in Walla Walla Super Court. He says he now suffers anxiety and nightmares and is now seeking an amount of money that would be determined at a trial in the civil rights lawsuit.

**** that child molesting piece of scum...... Wait...... They already did. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Article is here.
 
Wait. I thought that was the whole point. If you are convicted of molesting a child you get raped in jail or prison. Is that not how it is supposed to work?

The fact that you think a prison should work like this makes me sick.

I worked in a state prison for two years. It generally does not work like that because there are enough people willing to give it away for some canteen goods or for free that few would see any reason to take it by force. Most Correctional Officers are professional enough not to let stuff like that happen on their watch. But it does not hurt one lick if would be child molesters think it could happen to them.
 
This is why I'm not onboard with convicts, who are serving their sentence, retaining their constitutional rights.

Me either.. Stuff like this brings a smile to my face though, can't hide it. :)

A few of the problems I have with whole hurrah is:

- rape is wrong under any circumstance even in prison and regardless of what they did​
- it isn't like innocent people have never been convicted​
- we are supposed to uphold the law and what we know to be right, regardless of what others do or do not do otherwise there is no difference between us​

A child molester getting ****ed in ass, against his will, while he's in prison for, child molesting, sounds purdy right to me. ;)
 
the two most hated groups of people in prison are child molesters and rapists.
they are the scum of the scum even to the scum.

this guy what he gave and now he wants compensated for it where is his compensation to the victims that he did the same thing to?

If the county was negligent, then the suit is justified.

That's because you have a disordered moral sense. Perverted acts such as this can never be right.

yeah I know many feel that way, it gives a sense of "what goes around etc"...but something feels wrong about it now to me...not saying it always did, but when I reach deep inside and examine it, I can't condone it

From an emotional point of view I agree with you.

But the issue extends farther than that, a person is sentenced for a crime in prison, that is his/her punishment.

While this particular gentleman may have deserved it, it doesn't change the fact that people are not sentenced to rape as a punishment for their crimes, and yet it seems we have as a society, allowed prison rape to become permissible and by extension have basically said that a prison sentence for a crime, is also a sentence to be raped as a part of that punishment... which essentially makes us no better than Saddams Iraq.

I understand your point, but the comparison was too extreme, try something else (although to be fair I have discussed with people who have compared America to Nazi Germany so this was hardly the worst).
 
I would give child molesters the option of going to prison and facing possible butt rape. Or taking a lethal injection, problem solved....
 
Prisoners should sue the state more often for the horrible things that happen to them in prison. I would love to see the state get sued for the millions of rapes that happen inside their prison walls. Failing to protect inmates should lead to lawsuit, imho.

No I agree it is a little far because technically it's not deliberate... but fundamentally as a human rights issue, it's a perception problem.

Right, prison is their sentence and prison is an ugly place where bad things happen to inmates. It's supposed to be ugly, because they're being punished for a crime, not doing detention for talking in class.

Add to that list that it is the job of the state to protect inmates from bodily harm which includes RAPE.

Um, let me search my soul...la-la, la, la-la...nope, nothing. Sorry!
