I don't understand why some people think that in prison rape and violence are legitimate components of the "justice" the state imposes on criminals.

because a murderer being murdered and a rapist being raped is real justice.

Then why does the state not simply rule "X is to be murdered" or "Y is to be raped"?

Because we're self pleasing hypocrites, and say "Oh! But that's cruel and inhumane", yet chear on when we put criminals in an enviornment that results in "cruel and inhumane" behavior.

It sorta parallels gladiatorial games to me. Let the sub humans/lower class kill each other, call them barbaric, but revel in it ourselves.

 

We simply don't have the guts to either engage in "cruel and inhumane" punishment ourselves, or to admit that we desire such "cruel and inhumane" punishment. Either way, it's despicable.
