Yeah i agree. It was a very sad thing. And even worse to make light of when you consider the number of people who become imprisoned for minor things or even wrongly. If prison rpe is so prevalent as Reddit jokes made it seem, it wouldn't only happen to people who those making the jokes believe 'deserve it' (which, also, is awful to think about rpe.) I remember learning in class about David Milgaard, and he wrote about his experiences, including that violation. I wonder if those who joked "they'll love (random young guy in publicfreakouts video) in prison" even know or care how awful r*pe really is. It's really something that should be prevented.
