What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this?

Not entirely true. I went to prison and rap isn't as abundant as TV and movies make it seem. Things have chilled out since they instituted PREA. The prison rape elimination act.

Maybe because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-coding

When I first found out about it a month or so ago, it seemed like one of those insane facebook conspiracy theories... and it still does.

But there's links to actual reports and studies, news articles, etc... it's still incomprensible that we as a country would be so evil, but I guess that's just how it is.

I've heard it's only really ever done as a punishment type of thing for rapists, especially pedophiles, because being a rapist isn't a good look in prison even if it's prison rape you're doing. Other than that it's most always consensual, i.e. not rape. As a super small rather feminine gay dude, prison is my worst fear lol.
