I appreciate that it’s a joke made to make a point, but I would prefer that the state keep prisoners safe from being raped in prison, regardless of what crime they committed.

I'm glad someone mentioned this. The tacit acceptance of physical violence in prisons is so widespread in our society.

It's weird because a comment like "these executives deserve to be raped as punishment" would be considered disgusting and unfunny: frankly, you'd probably be made a social pariah for saying something like that. That statement is morally equivalent to the "pounding in the ass prison" statement, which is far more socially acceptable.

I genuinely think it's something that future generations will look back upon in horror.
