Rape is practically universal in US prisons. The problem is vastly underreported, we'll never know the true extent of it. It's not just inmates (of all kinds), the guards revel in it.
... and we have more prisoners than any other country, there are millions of inmates.
Of course, we could make the guards wear cameras with every room being monitored, but I guess why bother? We're not going to charge them anyway.
Our entire culture is one of raping. We rape the land, our neighboring countries, the oceans, the financial system, and each other in every way conceivable.
