you hear this argument everywhere. why is it okay for people who are not in jail to want to see "sex-offenders" put in jail and raped? more importantly, why do we tolerate rape in jail at all? all it does is remind us that our justice system is hugely flawed. it was never written in someone's sentencing that they were to be sodomized in jail. i even heard john walsh on that maury show once when he was showing footage of "stupid" criminals in the act (in this case it was a guy looking up girls' skirts - some young some not) say that he wished the "dirtbag" was caught and put in prison where he could get a "taste of his own medicine." i wrote maury and told him i thought that was despicable...a spokesperson for law enforcement (i know he's not a cop, but the america's most wanted gig puts him in close relation) should not be advocating jail rape as though it were a part of his "rehabilitation."

thank you and have a good day.
