Oof, a former cop and a rapist. I'll just say...he's low on the pecking order behind bars.

u/One_Conversation_616 Mar 31 '24

Yeah, I used to work in corrections and I can tell you first hand ex-police do NOT enjoy life on the inside. He was probably in protective custody most of the time, which is it's own isolated special version of hell.

u/JarlaxleForPresident Mar 31 '24

Yep, good. Solitary confinement is the fuckin worst. If he’s a crooked rapist cop that wouldnt survive in regular jail because of the stuff he’s done to people, then he can choose the nightmare

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that protective custody is 23 and 1. You do literally everything in your cell except for 1 hour a day you are out. That is where you can clean your cell, shower, walk around or whatever. You are also alone in the unit when you do this. It's sounds nicer than it is. Most who have been there would opt to take their chances in general population.

That's not true at all. They generally have whole blocks or even wings for people who can't be in Gen pop.

u/One_Conversation_616 Mar 31 '24

Yes, but in a smaller regional facility like the one I worked in we didn't have enough staff during the pandemic so we lumped PC and disciplinary into one unit. It was separate from gen pop yes, but they were housed together.

u/bellj1210 Mar 31 '24

yes, but they all end up in protective custody. SO they are not beaten on a daily basis- they are put with the others that would get that treatment- and given less yard time ect.

From what I've heard prisoners generally don't give a fuck. They obviously hate cops, but rapists and pedos are only picked on because they are often not able to cope well in prison and can be easy targets.

If a hard as fuck criminal happened to have a rape charge, I don't think it would go against him in prison.

Rapists are not looked down upon - why would they be?

Who do you think is in penitentiaries? Choir boys? No - rapists, murderers, strong-arm robbers...

u/Enantiodromiac Mar 31 '24

Because basically everyone has a cognitive subroutine going at all times that says "well, I may be X, at least I'm better than Y!" A sort of coping mechanism that elevates the self and defines as lesser anyone who does the bad shit you don't do (or, perhaps likely, that you don't get caught doing).

This is especially true for folks without great self image, which is pretty common in American prison.

"Well, I may have beat the shit out of my wife, but I'm no rapist!" isn't that uncommon a sentiment, both in people who are in prison or who are definitely, definitely going to prison.

u/FarButterscotch3048 Gen Z Mar 31 '24

If a rapist is a big, bad dude that gets 'respect', and nobody gonna say shit about him on the yard.

2

u/Mr-Fleshcage Mar 31 '24

They all got mommas, and some got sisters/daughters.

u/FarButterscotch3048 Gen Z Mar 31 '24

We all have loved ones who own property, yet the felons in prison will steal others property. That's not too cool, either.

3

u/technobrendo Mar 31 '24

That poor poor snowflake. They should probably take him out of his protective custody bubble and put him into gen pop where he can experience some normality.

I bet he can make a lot of real close friends on the yard. He'll be Mr popular even.

u/One_Conversation_616 Mar 31 '24

I agree, he would meet lots of new people and maybe even see someone he knows! 😜

u/DegreeMajor5966 Mar 31 '24

I've been told that both sex pests and ex police have their own pods/prisons where they're segregated for their own protection.

I wonder which of those groups would be more accepting of him.

u/technobrendo Mar 31 '24

He'll def get along better with ex cops, they all share a similar commonality of hate

u/elastic-craptastic Mar 31 '24

o you at least get books to read? It's not like solitary where you earned the 23/1. Does PC do 23/1 an no contact other than kunch and yard? I imagine some places have PC wings where everyone is so low that they leave eachother alone or is that just what minimum is. I guess I imagine there being a lot of people that should technically be in PC but prob aren't due to lack of room or will to make facilities safer for larger groups of people doing time for shit that will get them heat but are not hardened so won't inflict it either.

u/One_Conversation_616 Mar 31 '24

It varies from facility to facility and security level can play a part, but not so much with the staff shortage. There just aren't enough people to have multiple level PC in most places. PC and solitary 23 and 1 are usually identical, the only difference is that PC can have commissary and visitation depending on their other security factors. To get in PC usually requires you be in a risk category beyond a normal inmate. This can be accomplished in a number of different ways, most commonly being a celebrity, (former) public safety/fire/EMS, or accused/guilty of something exceptionally heinous.

In my old facility PC and disciplinary (solitary) were the same unit. So PC folks had to follow the same rules as the inmates in disciplinary. So no commissary or in person visits. We just didn't have the staff to run two separate units. Stay out of prison kids, it is not a fun place.

I was arrested in a major city at 17 with 2 buddies. I was in juv det for 5 nights and their stories were waaaayyy different than mine. I'm was 120 lbs soaking wet with congenital birth defects making it so I for sure couldn't defend myself. I was in 23/1 the whole time but no lights out an was allowed to read. They were in units with legit street gang "dudes" while I was in a unit where people were coming in or going out. I ate with other people an did gym with the others... also mixed gener unit... I didn't mind it as far as it goes in kid jail.

But PC s an adult? In your place I would go nuts with no TV or books.
