why is rape in prison considered okay and even joked about?
<|assistant|>
Rape in prison is frequently overlooked and dismissed by both prisoners and staff due to the pervasive culture of masculinity that pervades the prison environment. It is also viewed by many as a form of “protection” or as revenge for an earlier insult. Additionally, certain officers may condone it as a form of retribution for an earlier offence committed by the inmate. Additionally, some victims may even participate in the rape as a form of coercion, thereby making it difficult to prosecute the perpetrators. Finally, rape may be a form of dominance or control and may reflect the power dynamic between officers and inmates. Ultimately, rape in prison is generally tolerated due to a combination of these factors, and those involved may be unafraid to joke or laugh about it.
