Prison rape in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prison rape commonly refers to the rape of inmates in prison by other inmates or prison staff. In 2010, Human Rights Watch estimated that at least 140,000 inmates had been raped while incarcerated.[1] A United States Department of Justice report, Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, states that "In 2011-12, an estimated 4.0% of state and federal prison inmates and 3.2% of jail inmates reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another inmate or facility staff in the past 12 months or since admission to the facility, if less than 12 months."[2] However, advocates dispute the accuracy of the numbers, saying they seem to under report the real numbers of sexual assaults in prison, especially among juveniles.[3]

now considering that rape is under-reported (according to americans) is it fair to say that gay rape is also under-reported because american police would rape the victim and ask him "was it like this?"
this is a serious thread, americans actually believe this about 3rd world countries so I am asking if it is the same in the USA and have presented stats and strong arguments *US arguments*
