The *NYT* this morning has run a story about a former prison inmate's lawsuit against prison officials. The suit alleges that the officials violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment by refusing to protect him.

I try to keep this site reasonably urbane, so I won't go into more details. If you want grim reading, [here's the link](http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/25/national/25rape.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). One excerpt:

> Mr. Johnson was a "free-world homosexual," the witness said. That meant that the other prisoners considered him a woman in prison, and chattel. They called Mr. Johnson by a nickname, Coco, and referred to him using feminine pronouns.

The story further corroborates the highly-credible assertion that the prison system is completely broken and that our use of prisons needs to be re-considered ([link](https://thedailyeudemon.com/2450/)).
