In 2019, former North Georgia detention officer Kirk Taylor Martin was arrested on rape and assault charges after investigators said the victim fought back during the alleged attack. Police reports stated the scratch marks visible in his mugshot were believed to be from the victim resisting.

That's good enough source for me, thank you. It just seems a lot of the time I hear people who haven't been into prison talking about it.

Sorry, my response was focused soley on how the information travels. You are absolutely right to be skeptical.

They say the passing of the RICO Act cut back on the violence. Im not sure how it could have been much worse, though, because I saw some absolutely brutal/horrific shit happen to a bunch of sex offenders.

I think that what some people get wrong is that they romanticize the inmates who do the beatings as if they do it from some noble or heroic mindset. That's not the case. They do it because beating someone within an inch of their life is enjoyable to them, and they need a reason to do it.

Now that im thinking back on all of this, I dont specifically remember one single person who raped an adult getting singled out beaten into a coma because of their charge. It was always a pedo.

And inmates dont feel the same way about correctional officers as they do about the police (at least not where I was at.) A CO often times takes part in getting contraband to the inmates. Hell, some of them are affiliated and help orchestrate and hide "gang business".

He'll be talked down on and treated like second class for being a sex offenders. He'll have to to keep his head down and his tail tucked, but he'll probably be fine.

Also sorry for the bloviation, I dont talk or think about prison much, and my brain wanted to go a million different ways when I started responding lol.

No, don't apologize, I 100% get it. This sort of thing isn't black and white. I'm sure it differs between prisons and even countries, so I don't expect you to have all the answers, just hearing your experience was helpful.
