There are some criminals who commit the same crime countless times. And they always get caught and sent back to jail without learning their lesson. They are basically just a burden to society. Furthermore, tax dollars are used to feed and house the inmates. If we just killed them, prisons would not be crowded and less money would be used on them. And by “multiple crimes” I mean major ones like murder, molestation, rape, etc., not peccadilloes such as shop lifting or DUI.

I’m curious about rape in prisons since it is one of the most serious possible crimes, and is probably worse than most of the crimes for which the inmates are in prison in the first place. Sometimes MUCH worse.

So, is it as ubiquitous as it seems in the media? And do inmates get prosecuted, or do authorities look the other way completely?

Thanks.

Toni asked:


It makes sense that a crime that makes big news that is a particularly heinous crime would cause that inmate to get ostracized in prison, because it’s in the news.

However, some inmates commit ugly crimes that would not make big time news – so why would they get ostracized? How do other inmates know what crime they committed?
