Gay rape fucking

The first reviews are in, mostly amazed that New York actually made these films. On Friday, the Marshall Project posted two prison orientation videos — one for incoming female inmates, one for incoming male inmates — which feature veteran inmates advising newcomers on how to avoid being raped.

The videos are to be shown to new inmates in all prisons in the state of New York. The tone is that of a welcome video, offering matter-of-fact, practical tips, while the subject is sexual violence. The videos also take an extraordinary approach to the material, by involving gay inmates in every step of the process. A former prisoner, Gay.

Parsell, is the director. Current inmates workshopped all of the content before filming. Where there is criticism, it has focused not on what is in the videos, but on what is missing. Some prisoner advocates have pointed out that the videos disregard sensitive topics that could reflect badly on DOCCS. And both the male and female versions, said Brenda Smith, a former PREA commissioner and an expert on prison rape, should have explicitly emphasized that there is no such thing as consensual sex rape inmates and staff; that female staff can be as sexually abusive as male staff; and that sex between inmates can start out as consensual but turn into something more coercive.

Below, a further selection of the responses, both laudatory and skeptical, to these unusual videos. Stemple is the former executive director of Stop Prisoner Rape. The interviews with the inmates themselves, as opposed to a more artificial approach or one that simply recites policy, is a brilliant strategy.

Reluctance to report has long been a fucking obstacle, and inmates urging others to speak out is powerfully important. I'm concerned about homophobia and overzealousness that might unnecessarily patrol consensual relationships, which do take place in prisons. We have to be careful not to police all intimate relationships among rapes.

Finally, the Bureau of Justice Statistics data has consistently shown that male inmates are more likely to be sexually victimized by fucking than by other inmates. Because the data is quite robust and runs counter to assumptions, this phenomenon needs to be brought forward and addressed. I'd like to see an additional video about this form of abuse.

Sexual health for gay and bisexual men

The video tells women to refuse an officer's advances, with vague assurances that DOCCS will protect them from retaliation. But the video ignores prison reality: A prisoner is not allowed to disobey an officer's order. A promise of protection from retaliation is virtually meaningless: If she reports misconduct she will have to live with the day-to-day fear that he, or his friends and colleagues, will make her life a living hell, including being the target of false disciplinary charges.

The video acknowledges that some relationships between staff and rapes prisoners are obvious and glaring to anyone who pays attention, but ignores the Department's responsibility to pay attention to what its staff is doing, and to supervise them to prevent such abuse from gay place.

The video claims that complaints of fucking sexual abuse will be taken seriously, but that claim is undermined by how DOCCS actually responds to these allegations: In reality, New York State substantiates only about 2 percent of the complaints of staff sexual abuse that they receive.

So long as DOCCS fails adequately to investigate and discipline staff, all the videos in the world won't convince women in custody that there is any reason to report: They know they won't be believed and that no action will be taken. In the past, Rhode Island and Michigan have also shown inmates an orientation video about prison rape, but that video featured dramatizations rather than first-person advice from actual inmates.

While in prison, she and a male corrections officer had a sexual relationship; he ultimately pleaded guilty to statutory rape.
