Prison Rape: There Ought To Be A Law?

(CNSNews.com) - Prison rape, an old topic, is suddenly getting new media attention, as various religious and human rights groups press for a federal law to stop it. One proposed law would make state prison officials accountable for the sexual abuse of prisoners by other prisoners, and it would create a new office in the U.S. Justice Department to oversee various aspects of the prison rape issue. The Washington-based Hudson Institute has written draft legislation and it hopes Congress will hold hearings on the matter very soon. Adding to the push for a new federal law is a book-length report on prison rape, which is being released today by the group Human Rights Watch. While polls show most Americans don't care much about the issue, activists say they should: They claim prison rape is a costly problem for society, because it spreads disease to the population at large and it can make former prisoners violent and prone to commit additional crimes. "I want to convey the great cost to U.S. taxpayers annually in increase violence, recidivism, increasingly unsuccessful lawsuits and health care," said Tom Cahill who belongs to a group called Stop Prisoner Rape Inc. Cahill said "women are most likely to be victimized" by former prisoners made aggressive after prison rapes.
