Prison is Cliche


Rape has always puzzled me...not regular rape I mean...I get that...but prison rape.

People say you're going to get raped when you go to prison, or at least they say that to the average person they know who gets arrested. "Sorry I crashed the getaway car...you're gonna get raped in jail now."

But no one says this to big people I bet. Cause they assume those are the ones who are going to do the raping. That's why I used to take vitamins.

It's such a cliche that sometimes I think courtrooms are filled with bunch of burly homosexuals getting sent off to prison all the time for embezzling musical funds or stealing fancy pants. The judge whacks his gavel and a large menacing fellow announces eagerly with a lisp, "Oooo! Off to the hoosegow for me! Can't wait to make my uniform fabulous and fuck small straight guys in the ass!"

For strong large straight men the early days of prison must be disorienting. Getting used to the guards and your fellow inmates and the lack of freedom must be tough. How long before the convict looks around his cell and says, "Hmm guess I'll have a lot of time to work out...probably should start raping guys too."

Cause it doesn't work like that on the outside. If a guy is in a dry spell he doesn't start saying, "Wow. It's been months since I've gotten laid. If I don't get a girl tonight I'm definitely fucking the daintiest guy I can find."

I'm glad it's not like that on the outside. I don't buy Brawny paper towels just cause thoughts like that scare me sometimes.
