    This REALLY varies. The majority of prisons do not tack on time for in prison fights. Unless they near kill or maim him, they’re fine whooping his ass and taking a week in the hole as that’s all they’ll get.

      I will have to disagree. When you are in prison you are in the custody of the state (state or federal). If the state just knowingly allows you to be at risk by placing you in a dangerous situation then they become liable. It would then become cruel and unusual punishment. No one is sentence to continuous assaults for decades. The prison can and will be sued and it could raise a constitutional issue. If prisons just allowed whatever to happen then PREA would not be a thing.

        As someone who was in prison, sex stuff is usually agreed to. Fights do happen a lot but it’s usually two people arguing or drug related. Punishments vary but it’s usually not good so people don’t want to fight unless they don’t care. People do care about extra time. Everyone stays quiet anyway. People lie all the time about why they’re in and unless you’re annoying or in people’s faces then you’re usually safe. A sex offender might get shunned or treated like shit but not all the time and they are usually separated into other sex offenders. There are also A LOT of sex offenders so they often have a place or section of their own. I saw a lot of jokes and minor threats about rape but never saw anything in person, dudes did do stuff here and there but it was voluntary. It’s not gay if you’re in prison is what was said. If it’s a high profile crime you might get some shit but you’ll probably be separated anyway.

        I mean you’re free to disagree but I was a state corrections officer for over 6 years. I’ve seen what happens.
