California Law

[Occhidiangela]

I would think that most inmates who sexually assault other inmates wouldn't be likely to pause and use a condom. Using a condom requires some thought and some concern over your partner's welfare. Someone sexually assaulting another inmate isn't likely to bother with either.

I don't think this type of law would make much, if any, difference in the rate of sexual assaults in prisons. It would be more similar to the clean drug clinics that have been tried in Vancouver and a few countries around the world - the rate of transmitted diseases and overdosing in the area goes down dramatically.

There comes a point when legislating or punishing behaviour, no matter how severly, stops having an impact. Taking steps to make that behaviour safer, on the other hand, can make a real, significant, measurable difference.

As soon as the above "Jake" gets out of prison, we'll make sure to send him to your house with a condom. I am sure you and your rectum won't mind.
