Yep, it’s pure evil. Every guard involved is morally culpable for the rapes they cause
Internet outrage is utter dogshit trash
FUCK. THE. USA!
Farmers do this shit with cattle and horses, wow, gross. So cool how already normalised it was before 2016, great /s
All your brainpower occupied with breathing?
sodomy in US prisons is a JOKE to Americans.
ever hear one of them say: ‘dont drop the soap’ like its something to laugh about?
Been to jail. Dropping soap is a real thing when theres also dudes who will try to get new people locked in their personal cell during shift change for an hour.
Propagated as a scare tactic to keep men subservient to law enforcement
Rape is practically universal in US prisons. The problem is vastly underreported, we’ll never know the true extent of it. It’s not just inmates (of all kinds), the guards revel in it.
… and we have more prisoners than any other country, there are millions of inmates.
Of course, we could make the guards wear cameras with every room being monitored, but I guess why bother? We’re not going to charge them anyway.
Our entire culture is one of raping. We rape the land, our neighboring countries, the oceans, the financial system, and each other in every way conceivable.
CW: exactly what you would expect.
V-coding
Causing rape of trans prisoners for social control
Not to be confused with Vibe coding.
In the context of incarceration in the United States, V-coding is the common practice by carceral staff of subjecting trans women to sexual assault by placing the woman in the same prison cell as an aggressive male inmate in order to placate the male inmate.[1][2][3] This practice has been known to have caused the daily rapes of multiple trans women, and the sexual assaults of 58.5% of them.[4][5][6] V-coding is done to pacify the male inmate, with the goal of reducing their propensity for violence against other inmates, according to prison authorities and one inmate.[1][2] The term has also been used to refer to the broader systemic sexual abuse of trans women in male prisons.

Every conservative you have ever met supports this. Every single one.
This article is a bit tough to understand. What is the expected logic of such practices? I know its a horrific phenomenon all-around, but what was even the initial idea of how this could possibly be a net good for any entity involved?
They take aggressive men and let them vent some steam off by raping a woman. This reduces their aggression towards other inmates and makes them more controllable.
Since trans women are basically treated there as subhumans, no one cares of them in this equation.
Also reduces aggressiveness towards guards
The “net good” here is that it’s torture for us. It’s good sport for those in power in prison. There’s also the fact that those in power can earn a little side hustle from relatively zero risk: you don’t need to smuggle anything into the prison to sell, you just sell one prisoner to the next. That is the society we live in.
Things are pretty fucked up right now for us literally everywhere. We’re fucking dying here. Educate yourself.

Also keep in mind: trans women are toys in prison. They want to keep them in longer, they give them sex offender charges for resisting (the trans sexual predator claim comes from this partly, other than that is that many trans women turn to prostitution to survive, which is a sex offence)
On top of that, BOP policy is to cut off hormones and do conversion torture. So they toss you in a cell to be raped like a woman, while trying to torture you into not being one.
Cutting of hormones is worse than simply forcing a detransition. Suddenly stopping produces effects similar to menopause until her natural testosterone return to typical male levels. Depending on what other procedures she has had done, a transwomen without artificial hormones may never return to healthy hormone levels for either gender.

Its my fault for coming to lemmy hoping for some mindless escapism. I get gut punched each time I open my feed. My understanding of the world shows me a bleaker, more disgusting image every time. I appreciate you sharing this and opening my eyes, thanks.
Knowing the truth is important. So is staying strong enough to fight. Part of staying strong enough to fight is tending to your emotional well-being.
Please take breaks when you need. Friendship and sunsets and butterflies still exist. Use them as often as you can🫂
Go to imgur, 9gag, krazframe, 4chan, memify, etc
Lemmy is like reddit- an unhealthy mix of trolls and legit discussions
I used to frequent 9gag when it was mostly ragecomics, countryballs etc. (and also quite some time after that), but nowadays its just xenophobia, racism and incels.
Oh wow you’re right. I hadn’t been there for a while… jeeze…
You either gotta use an app/front-end with filters, or accept having your mind expanded, be it for good or ill (or both, since one can lead to the other).
I prefer the second option 99/100, but I do have an app that’s heavily filtered for when I just can’t bear the ugliness of the world for a few hours.
For you it’s mindless scrolling. For us it’s daily life. Help us.
Not to be confused with Vibe coding.
Genuinely fucking disgusting.
when you see people argue that trans women should be in men’s prisons, understand that this is what they argue in favor of.
And they think it’s part of it. They assume everyone who goes to prison deserves everything they get.
The cruelty is the point.
2017 study by the Sylvia Rivera Law Project found that 75% of trans women respondents in New York state prisons were subjected to sexual violence by a correctional officer
Holy fuck
