But if you're gay this part of the punishment may not even be a problem.
Ever read about that stuff? In America if you go to prison when you are still in your teens you are grade A meat for the older prisoners. They turn you out and sell you for packs of cigarettes. Even make them shave their legs and wear makeup, clean up their cell, grow their hair long, etc.
And if you're white? You're really screwed. I've read of white teenagers getting raped in the police van on the way to prison.
There was this 20 year old kid I read in the local paper last year that got busted with a lot of drugs in his apartment. Got sentenced with 5 different charges, including manufacture and delivery (a potential 99 year sentence). A couple weeks later I was standing outside of my work building and he comes walking up to me and asked me for a cigarette. I recognized him from his mugshot.
So we started talking and this dumb kid was only concerned about his finances. He's like 5'8", slender, kind of a pretty boy.
I'm just thinking, "This dumb kid doesn't even understand what he's facing." He's going to get raped left and right. And HIV is rampant in our prisons.
The prisoners have all kinds of scams for these dumb kids. One good one is to act like you're his buddy and start loaning the kids cigarettes and drugs. Shit like that. Then one day demand he pay up all at once after he owes quite a bit. When the kid can't pay he decides to take payment in flesh from him.
Another one is a prisoner will get some of his buddies to corner the kid, and they all act like they're about to gang rape him. The con will show up just in the nick of time and "rescue" him. So the kid starts to trust him and depend on him for protection. Then the con will demand sex in return for defending him from the other inmates. So the kid thinks, "Well one guy is better than getting gang raped." Then after the con gets bored screwing the kid he'll start pimping him out.
