prison gang rapes.

"remember the rec room converted into a dorm we discussed earlier? once a prison becomes this overcrowded the chances of violence of every kind skyrocket. a room like this quickly becomes host to what is known as 'the covered wagon.' prisoners arrange the three-high bunk beds in a rough square and drape them with blankets to block off the view of the guards. it is in the middle of this that a gang rape can continue for an astonishing amount of time.

in 1973 a student protester didn't pay the $10 bail after being arrested at a quaker pray-in at the white house where he was protesting the bombing of cambodia. in the washington, d.c. lock-up he was almost immediately attacked by fellow prisoners, sodomized and forced to suck dick while being nearly beaten to death for three solid days.

he was raped all day and all night. no guard came to his rescue. at one point he was so exhausted from the ordeal, his captors thought it wise to allow him some 'rest' so he could continue being humiliated without dying. another prisoner, in a twisted way, thought to try to make amends by offering the victim a carton of cigarettes.

...guys beaten and dragged into the covered wagon are set upon by dozens of men. they have all their teeth knocked out, they are forced to perform fellatio for hours and hours while being savagely fucked up the ass until their assholes literally gush blood. even if the guards were able to detect what's going on (and they most certainly can) they would not do anything."
