Nobody deserves that, but the irony…it’s quite something.

TMI, tangent

God I’d die in prison. Literally death for me, nothing else. I may survive for a minute or two, but I’m anything but the “tough type”, so my demise would be inevitable. In any case, once anyone would find out I have breasts…it’d be game over for me. Hope I never have to go, cause the things that would happen to me…they’re not pleasant thoughts :P

But also, in a weird and self-destructive way…I’m morbidly curious. Curious just how long I’d make it. Curious what would be the exact cause of my doom. I’m just…weird, sorry.

Sincerely, fuck Russell Brand. Fuck that guy.

    I’m so happy this shit doesn’t happen nearly as often as in the US in more enlightened countries.

    I’m a firm believer that wishing rape on others only serves to uphold our rape culture and that no one deserves to be raped.

    I’m not mad that he’s worried about getting the same treatment that he doled out to others.

    Still hope that he isn’t raped despite his worries.

    The justice system is not “doing what it’s supposed to” when it makes people credibly fear they’ll be raped in prison. The justice system is doing what it’s supposed to when it fosters a safe, predictable, productive environment for people to be rehabilitated.

    The tweet tries to soften it with “I’m not saying I think it should happen, but…”, but outright, no: wanting to instill fear that what someone – literally anyone – did to their victims will happen to them in prison is perpetuating a culture that relishes in revenge and only pretends to care about protecting future victims.

      But Russell Brand will be serving in the bile prison system. Rape is the predictable unproductive environment he will be serving under. Idealizing your perfect prison won’t suddenly change the indentured servitude England has always served, and will do so throughout his sentence.

    yeah dying in prison would be pretty inevitable for me too. if they let me stay on hormones i would be v coded to death by either rectal bleeding from being raped or being murdered for resisting being raped too hard. if they dont let me stay on hormones i would detransition into the most unstable rage filled petulant asshole and id die the same exact way just way more angrily.

      Yeah :/ I’m legally and officially prescribed HRT, so I’d get to keep being on it.

      Me getting v-coded would pretty much be a guarantee. And I don’t wish it upon anyone, but tbh? I’d deserve it. I’d totally blame myself for it. For letting it happen due to my nonexistent physical strength, for “asking for it”. I probably wouldn’t even bother trying to resist.

      It’s a thought pattern I keep coming back to. I don’t wish it upon anyone but myself.

      So yeah, prison would literally be a death sentence for me. Not that I plan on going, it’s just that it’s game over if I do.

        nobody deserves to be raped, please rethink that mentality. being weak isn’t a reason, wearing revealing clothing isn’t a reason, being inebriated isn’t a reason. don’t place that ratuonaile on anyone, even yourself. you don’t deserve to be violated

    Prison rape is mostly false statistics and urban legends. It doesn’t happen nearly as much as you see on tv.

    That being said, there’s a higher percentage of child sexual assault victims in prison, as well as people that had family be sexually assaulted. Pedos, rapists and women beaters get a fucking beating. On top of that, there’s street cred associated with beating up a celebrity.

    He will be kept in a special ward though with non violent criminals in the same situation as him (at risk in gen pop)

      Sure, it’s probably a bit dramaticized on TV. But if you’re a trans woman like me and you end up in a men’s prison…it’s probably gonna be living hell. V-coding is a thing :/

      High profile rapist. That’s probably why. Prisoners don’t like rapists from my understanding, lots of fathers in there.

        Interesting. I would have thought that there were enough rapists in prison that he would get cheered instead.

          They generally don’t create clubs out of mutual respect. They fight over who gets to do it to whom.

          Also, a lot of people in prison are there because of financial/societal reasons. They’re not going to like a rich pos.
