[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what happened to the inmate is terrible, but I also think we are discounting that prison in general is an extremely violent place. Prisoner on prisoner violence is unfortunately a given.[/quote]

Women in women’s prisons didn’t use to have to worry about getting pregnant from rape. Now they do. [/quote]

Hello, please read the following articles. Especially the last one regarding the rape pregnancies. Then come back and respond. Thanks.

[quote]Several women being held at a jail in southern Indiana have filed a federal lawsuit against corrections officers there, alleging they allowed a group of men in custody to rape, assault, threaten and harass the women.

Eight women listed as plaintiffs say Clark County Jail Officer David Lowe gave the men keys to the women's cells in exchange for $1,000 on the night of Oct. 23, 2021.

"Numerous male detainees" allegedly stayed in the women's pods for more than two hours, into the early morning of Oct. 24, according to the suit, which was filed Monday.

In those hours, the men covered their faces while verbally and sexually assaulting the women, and threatened to harm them further if they pressed the emergency call button, the suit says.[/quote]

[quote]Widespread sexual abuse of female inmates continues to plague federal prisons and accountability measures for staff have not contained the scourge of such violence, according to a Senate investigative report released Tuesday.

Women were abused by prison staff in at least 19 of the 29 federal facilities that held female inmates since 2012, the bipartisan report from the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations found. The Bureau of Prisons opened 5,415 cases alleging sexual abuse by federal employees from 2012 to 2022.

Former inmate and survivor Briane Moore testified before the subcommittee on Tuesday, recounting how she was raped by an officer while she was imprisoned at a federal facility in West Virginia. She said the officer, a captain at the prison, would take her to private areas of the facility to abuse her out of sight of surveillance cameras.

"I knew he had the power to prevent me from being transferred to a prison closer to my family closer to my daughter," Moore said. "He was a captain with total control over me. I had no choice but to obey."

She said that she feared getting placed in solitary confinement if she tried to report the officer and was aware of other women who were punished for reporting abuse.[/quote]

[quote]EJI investigated the widespread sexual abuse of incarcerated women by male guards at Tutwiler. In interviews with more than 50 women incarcerated at Tutwiler, EJI uncovered evidence of frequent and severe officer-on-inmate sexual violence, i[b]ncluding that several incarcerated women had become pregnant after being raped by prison guards.

In 2012, EJI released the results of its investigation, revealing that from 2009 to 2011, six correctional officers were convicted for criminal sexual abuse of incarcerated women but only one faced more than five days in jail.

Despite the known high rate of sexual contact between male staff and incarcerated women, the warden and correctional officers at Tutwiler continued to punish and humiliate women who report sexual misconduct, routinely placing them in segregation, stripping them of their property, denying them contact with their families, and forcing them to submit to unwanted medical procedures.

EJI also found evidence that prison officials were misreporting the frequency of sexual assaults by prison employees.[/quote]
