Working with a former inmate in my agency, drinking right after work, he told us a kind of rape that happened to him. He never mentioned the word "rape" but he implied it.
Decades ago, Washington DC used a facility called Lorton in Virginia, to sent their found guilty drug addicts, criminals, etc.
This guy was sent over there because drugs and robbery.
He told us he was young and one day a guy, who was one of the strong dudes over there and head of a gang, came to his cell. That's all he said about the incident.
But next day, at lunch time he went to his table and starter a fight against him. In those years, no matter who started the fight, both of them should be sent to "solitary".
So, after a few days in "solitary", the very next day, he went again and started another fight against that guy. They ended in "solitary" again.
He repeated the same aggressive behavior until the other guy in desperate attitude begged for his forgiveness.
We kept silence and from my part understanding the shadow which was following him all his life because of such a miserable experience.
40 years ago in some jails, the respect to other humans integrity was not properly respected. Those were different times.
Just in the 70s, in the hippies colonies, 20, 30 or more years old adult men used to sleep in the parks of San Francisco with teenagers girls 14 years old and up who left their houses in order to be part of the new social movement.
And police surrounded the parks, medical post were installed to treat sexual diseases, but no one arrested those guys because "child molestation" of "having sex with minors". Those were different times.
