A case of another pampered athlete gone bad.
Thank goodness the Colts chose Peyton Manning over RL in the draft, I can't say that too many times.

Maybe he and Art Sleister can get a Fantasy Football League going in jail~!

Why is the idea of butt rape in prison so funny to people? People don't find the rape of women funny, but the idea of men in prison being sodomized, sexually attacked, enslaved, etc, is "funny" to people for some reason. Anyone can end up in prison. Innocent people are found guilty all the time. Butt rape in prison isn't something society should just except and not even try to combat. Most of these men will be released and probably be angrier and more dangerous when they get out, and possibly even have contracted AIDS which they will spread to the general population.

That's actually a good illustration of the costs of an average person's focus being on primitive sentiments of retribution rather than deterrence theory. Ultimately, such an approach encourages further victimization, however.

I'd say fear of retribution is as good a deterrent as any.
I try and focus on reality as much as possible, Agna. I'm seeing the world as it is, and not some perfect world. You might want to try it sometime, it just might help you to mature.
[T]oday's death penalty is a negative mirror image of a public torture lynchingan inverse institution, a disavowal, calculated to resist and deny any such association. But substantively, many of the same social forces that previously prompted lynchings nowadays prompt capital punishment; many of the same social functions performed by lynching then are performed by capital punishment now; and much the same political structures that permitted lynchings then, enable capital punishment now.

Of course it is. However, excessive focus on retribution to the point that it obfuscates rational analysis from a perspective that utilizes deterrence theory is problematic. For instance, consider those who cry out for the death penalty for the crime of rape. It's an understandable emotional reaction, but not one consistent with deterrence theory, since it would provide a perverse incentive for a rapist to kill his victim. The same is true for imposing the death penalty on single murderers, for such a person would be provided with a perverse incentive to commit additional murders and violently resist police capture.

Nor am I. Your mentality actually provides validation of Garland's observation in his The Peculiar Forms of American Capital Punishment:
[T]oday's death penalty is a negative mirror image of a public torture lynching—an inverse institution, a disavowal, calculated to resist and deny any such association. But substantively, many of the same social forces that previously prompted lynchings nowadays prompt capital punishment; many of the same social functions performed by lynching then are performed by capital punishment now; and much the same political structures that permitted lynchings then, enable capital punishment now.
Try focusing on marginal deterrence theory instead.
