The real and [raw] reality of what goes on inside our nations prisons>>> focusing on a subject that many simply do not wish to acknowledge...>>>>>>The Sexual Violation of our prisoners:

TEXAS:
Many men and women in Texas experience sexual abuse at the hands of officer and other prisoners. Their pleas for help go unanswered by administrators and staff.

*While sexual abuse in prison is not a problem that is unique to Texas, federal statistics suggest that it's most pervasive in the Lone Star State.

The well-being of our prisoners isn't a topic that often garners much sympathy. Perhaps that is why few Americans know that rapes and sexual assaults of U.S. inmates have reached epidemic proportions.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics confirmed this human rights crisis. It says that nearly one in 10 prisoners report having been raped or sexually assaulted by other inmates, staff or both.

That's why the release of a separate report by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission, which was created by Congress in 2003, is so important. It challenges our society to take seriously a problem that has ruined many lives.*
