Unless the jailers WANT them to be assualted. I have heard of jails and prisons where the CO's mark certain prisoners for assault by other inmates and by CO's.

Unfortunately it may be that in KY they are in Gen Pop for the specific purpose of being abused.

It's the same logic that makes some people think torture is acceptable.

Unless you're killed there, nobody is going to take the case to sue, let alone prosecute. I tried.

For the record, when I was assualted in jail, I was assaulted by a CO and handcuffed and chained to 4 other guys at the time.

Q: Why was I in jail ?

A. For failure to pay a fine on ONE traffic ticket (no right turn on red).

About a year after I was in the Suffolk County Jail, a young guy who was in the Nassau County Jail for a minor offense was beaten to death by the CO's.

No offense but I don't hear anyone complaining about the way the straight people are treated over there. I guess you have all forgotten the large number of assaults that were committed against straight people. Being gay shouldn't give you special treatment being human should

It's not.

BUT...

1. This is a gay and lesbian forum.

2. Many people ARE prejudiced agaiinst gay and lesbian people, and co's and inmates, often assualt other inmates for any reason, or no reason at all.

When I was in the Suffolk County Jail, I kept my mouth shut about my sexual orientation, even though everywhere else, I'm open about it. Nothing would have been agined by my beng out there, and I had everyting to lose by being so. But many gay and lesbian inmates are targeted for assault or worse simply because of prejudice.

(And despite what you see in the movies or tv, jail is very boring and there is VERY little to do to keep yourself from extreme boredom. It's also very racist and classist).

. No offense but that still doesn't mean you should get preferential treatment while your there. You get locked up where you have lots of people there to pass your time with and don't tell me it doesn't happen because it damn sure does. The straight girls over there aren't locked up with their boyfriends while they are there, but gay girlfriends are locked up together all the time. Why should you get to be with your partner just because your gay, but the straight women are locked away from their loved ones. I'm sorry but I think that gay men should be housed with a gay woman and vice versa. Next you'll be demanding that gay intercourse be taught in sex Ed.

If you were gay?
Isn't being a hermaphrodite sort of like being bisexual which is sort of like being gay?

Well, if your idea were taken seriously, I'm sure a lot of str8 men and women would lie about their sexuality just to be with the opposite sex.

the bottom line is jail is no fun and not conducive to voluntary sex.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Libra

You're in an idealistic mood today and only want to see the best in other people. This is typical Libran behaviour, because you aren't good at facing up to harsh reality at the best of times. Today, you're ready to believe that someone is a candidate for sainthood or that they're the best thing that's ever happened to you, regardless of whether it's true or not.
