FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The regulations, the first issued by the American government on Thursday to address the enduring issue of prison rape, come following years of debates among authorities and prisoner advocacy groups on the epidemic that reportedly affects one out of every 10 inmates in American prisons and detention facilities, The New York Times reported on Friday.
US Congress, says the report, passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act in 2003 and the rules to enforce it are the very first to confront the problem.
In enacting the law, according to The Times, Congress directed the prison system to address “what was, if not a completely unseen epidemic, one that was not being taken seriously enough,” without imposing a “substantial” cost.
However, the government expects the full enforcement of new regulations will cost billions of dollars over the next 15 years, perhaps as much as $7 billion, which is reportedly less than one percent of the US prison system’s overall cost.
The regulations and standards call for prevention, supervision and changing the prison culture instead of setting numerical standards for results.
“In popular culture,” said a summary of the federal rules, “prison rape is often the subject of jokes, in public discourse, it has been at times dismissed by some as an inevitable – or even deserve – consequence of criminality. But sexual abuse is never a laughing matter, nor is it punishment for a crime. Rather, it is a crime, and it is no more tolerable when its victims have committed crimes of their own.”
US observers say inmate rape in American prison system have been so common that even some courtroom judges and prosecutors openly threaten suspects with prison rape if they refuse to cooperate.
