Dear Heart, How terrible. Regretful indeed. Women detainees around the world are all at this kind of risk. Justice for the women who were hurt. Justice!
In hope.
One down.
I recently read a boook on the NZ court system that suggested that this was common.
And that’s way more than I ever wanted to know. Shouldn’t there be some way of screening out these guys before they get into the ‘respectable and powerful’ positions?
Lynn, so good to read you here! You are among my favorite bloggers ever from when I first started blogging and that has not changed, you are still among my favorites.
Back to the horrible topic of this thread, the treatment of woman inmates in an atrocity throughout the world. In the U.S. it is particularly hideous because so many woman inmates are in prison because they really have medical problems (they abuse substances) or because they are in the U.S. illegally, without the proper documentation. Guards in women’s prisons are overwhelmingly male and therefore they are free to prey on inmates. It is sick and barbaric.
Is he a repub or a Dem?????
He is a Democrat from Clinton, Oklahoma. He’s been Sheriff since 1994. He’s 55, married and a grandfather.
Who cares what party he’s from, though? Misogynist perps abound in both parties.
In addition to routinely raping inmates, he also sexually assaulted a woman who worked in the Sheriff’s office.
Here’s the charging document, listing 35 separate charges of rape and various kinds of sexual assault:

Wow, what difference does the party make, we have a first class monster on the state payroll here!
Get the male guards and officials out of women’s prisons to begin with. That’s like putting wolves in the hen house!
Geez!
