Statistics indicate that there are more men raped in U.S. prisons than non-incarcerated women similarly assaulted. 140,000 every year.

Actually, it's worse than that. The same report states "In December 2000, the Prison Journal published a study based on a survey of inmates in seven men's prison facilities in four states. The results showed that 21 percent of the inmates had experienced at least one episode of pressured or forced sexual contact since being incarcerated, and at least 7 percent had been raped in their facility."

21% of all imprisoned US men equates to 440,223 men. Each one having had "pressured or forced sexual contact". In other words: sexually assaulted.

Out of curiosity, why is rape is common in US prisons? Where I live (Finland), it's almost nonexistent.

This directly conflicts with the wikipedia article on rape, which states "The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (1999) estimated that 91% of U.S. rape victims are female and 9% are male, with 99% of the offenders being male." Any ideas?

I am a strong mens right activist, but the problem I see with this, is that men are the ones causing these rapes in prisons. Men are being raped by other men. This doesn't help our cause, it just makes us look worse in the eyes of feminists.

men raping men in prison, how can we blame this on women?

the feminist agenda has been to create new laws to criminalise male behaviour and put more and more men in prison where they may be raped

also we already sound like white supremacists that complain about how tough it is to be white, and how easy everyone else has it. could we be even more like them?

Blacks, who are just over 13 percent of the general population, accounting for nearly 65 percent of those in prison. Does that answer your question?

perfectly. finally, could we possibly sound even more like we'd be much happier if only there weren't any icky women in the world?

women are to be let off the hook when they run afoul of the new laws - i.e. the 'pussy pass'.

it's a mensrights triple play! well done!

What an awesome contest you guys are making.

Your headline is misleading. Of course rape is going to occur more inside of prisons than outside of them. Regardless of gender.
