I have read about situations similar - the inmates seem to have no respite from this kind of behaviour - the employees abuse of their position is shocking and something has to be done to protect the inmates from further harrassment. Just because they have been imprisoned for something does not mean that they are there to have their rights abused. TY Terry. Brightest Blessings.

ugh
I agree with Jos they ahve rights People who work there and abuse female inmates should get fired.
I do think that employees should be screened all the time when they work to keep the US ""safer"
It is bad enough that people who need help end up in prison and from there it goes from bad to worse.

This is so common these days! It's upsetting and I'm glad these woman are standing up for themselves. I do not condone their crimes by any means, but no one, not man, woman or child deserves this kind of behaviour. Thank you Terry, I hope you're doing well.

What a bright looking specimen as one of my freinds said on a diferent post "Off with their balls" or perhaps as one of these guys is a plumber that should be off with his ball cock! This sort opf behavour is much the same as sexual harrassment in the work place. Perpetrators are nothing more tha inadequate bullies who should perhaps use the services of a professional working girl for their frustrations! Preferably one with a nasty disease!

I agree with David B. or are there just not enough women to occupy our womens facilities?

Somehow I dont think this is going to help rehabilitate the women criminals.
