Yeah, I agree there's no excuse for it, regardless of where it happens.
I didn't read any of the stories, I was just speaking generally.
With weed, you'd have to be caught for trafficking, or sale of large quantities, to end up in actual prison. Most drug charges are given probation, regardless, provided it's their first offense. Most people don't just "fuck up" once and get sent to prison.
See that's the reason I said that I have less sympathy for criminals. (at least those types) Maybe it's cold, but it just doesn't bother me that much if they experience rape of violence in prison. Karma?
That said, most inmates don't particularly like rapist; they're said to "get what they deserve." Street justice, I guess.
