Just recently we had an inmate who was forced into giving another inmate oral sex. The victim in this incident was a young guy (18 or 19) who shows signs of being mentally slow. I don't know if he really is but you get that impression fairly quickly when talking with him. It's also obvious that he has no self esteem or self worth. He appears small and week. I have no doubt these are some of the reasons he was preyed upon.
The aggressor is a sexual predator. Although he is not big and has not been violent in the jail, he is in the jail for other sex crimes. The good news is this incident was actually reported and the aggressor now has new felony criminal charges to deal with. He is also being housed in our maximum security facility. He is locked down for 23hrs a day. He has no access to tv, phone, radio or people.
Things like this rarely seem to get reported because anyone who tells on another inmate for doing anything is considered a "rat". This is one of the worst things that you can be considered in the jail. In fact, if you get labeled as a rat your well being will absolutely be in jeopardy. Most likely you will have to be housed in a unit that is considered "protective custody". Unfortunately inmates in these types of units are typically locked in a cell for 23 hrs a day.
