Since these inmates are in prison and the responsibility of the prison shouldn't they be able to sue the prison for failing to protect them?

From the comment section:

"Why is it all of a sudden acceptable to put the onus of preventing rape on the victim? Shouldn't there be orientation videos for the staff to prevent rapes? Isn't it the state's and therefore the staff's responsibility to prevent prisoner rape? Over 50% of prison rape is perpetuated by staff and about 80% of staff perpetrated rape is perpetrated by female staff. So where in the video does it show an inmate how to stop a prison guard from raping him?"

Surely they should not be telling men how to avoid rape but teaching rapists not to rape. /s

Can you imagine the outrage if there were a rape avoidance video shown at a WOMEN'S prison? The outrage would be nationwide and there would be calls to replace whoever showed the tape.

It should not even be possible to be raped, killed, or harmed in any way in prison.

Prisoners should be in individual cells, and should only be permitted out in small groups, with sufficient number of guards in amongst them. The entire commons areas should be livestreamed on the internet, for the world (including their families) to see.

I didn't watch the video so I have a question since I don't particularly want to. Did they include female inmates and how inmates can protect themselves or at least report staff perpetrated sexual violence? I ask because the PREA stats don't support the narrative.

"Between 2009 and 2011, females represented about 7% of sentenced prison inmates, but accounted for 22% of all victims of substantiated incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization in federal and state prisons.1 Similarly, during these 3 years, females represented about 13% of inmates in local jails but 27% of all victims.2"

"About 54% of incidents of staff sexual misconduct and 26% of incidents of staff sexual harassment were perpetrated by females. Males perpetrated 46% of incidents of staff sexual misconduct and 74% of incidents of staff sexual harassment. In state and federal prisons, 67% of inmate victims of staff sexual misconduct or harassment were male, while 58% of staff perpetrators were female. In local jails, 67% of victims were female, while 80% of perpetrators were male."

I hesitated to include the part on page 13. Although the numbers still go against the narrative. Female perpetration was a much higher percentage in prior single year reports. It might be worth looking into to see how the data was massaged to make women look less predatory.

"Most victims of staff sexual misconduct were males; most perpetrators were females. Among male victims of staff sexual misconduct, 69% of those in prison and 64% of those in jails reported sexual activity with female staff. An additional 16% of prison inmates and 18% of jail inmates reported sexual activity with both female and male staff."
