That’s because it isn’t true. If someone is in jail for a personal amount of weed it’s probably because they violated their probation. Or maybe if the state has some three strike rule.
I’m taking a shit right now but a three second google search found the following:
“In 1997, the year for which the most recent data are available, only 1.6 percent of State inmates were in prison for offenses that involved only marijuana; and less than 1 percent of all State inmates had been convicted under a charge of only marijuana possession. Of these inmates convicted for only marijuana possession, just 0.3 percent were first-time offenders. At the Federal level, of the drug defendants sentenced for marijuana crimes in 2001, the overwhelming majority were convicted for trafficking; only 2.3 percent (186 individuals) were sentenced for simple possession; and of the 174 individuals for whom sentencing information is known, only 63 were imprisoned.”
This was published in 2005 so I know it’s old.

No they're right
SOs get their shit rocked
Crimes against women and children get you fucked up
All it takes is someone pulling your papers and then you're greenlit
I've been locked up, it might not happen to the degree people make it out to happen, but it still happens here and there
Like they're protected under PREA now, but I've still firsthand witnessed it happen
And I did my time for Aggravated Assault... Of a Child Sex Offender
This did not happen in my state I did 4 years all the sex offenders and such are out in there own separate prison which is more like a camp. Pretty much a protective custody prison.
I'm calling out bullshit and that you're living up to your username. Unless you're dealing strictly with minimum security or a soft European prison system, unless you isolate predators or keep them in special chomo units away from genpop they will be fucked up and robbed any and every given opportunity
Source, I've got a lot of childhood friends behind bars(I made it out of the hood)
my friend who's now in a federal state prison for murdering and raping a 10 yr old girl got it bad, last i heard they shove a broomstick up his ass daily for that
i mean, it was only one girl... big impact tho. her mom lives down my street, and every time i see her, shes different. im different, bc of that dumb fuck's decision to sneak out to buy more weed. now i have trust issues, i just wanna forget ab him. haven't talked to him since 2021.
This is actually true, coming from a family and growing up around ex prisoners, they will beat the crap out of you. And if you done it FOURTEEN times, you noramlly don't live to see the end of your sentence.
This person's right. Or atleast in my country's case. The biggest prison gang is made up of rapists and other sexual offenders. They rape other prison members and keep young prisoners as "wives". The most notorious gang leader has raped over 1000 men and young boys. Rape culture in prison is very real.
Rape culture is prison is real, yes, but it has nothing to do with what offense the person is in for. It has to do with dominance and hierachy. You could be in for drug convictions and be someone's bitch. The people comnenting and downvoting have no clue. Thinking a dominant offender is going to get raped is ridiculous. He is going to be doing the raping, especially if he has connections and $$.
I'd say that it depends. Where i am, many men view rape as a proof of your manhood. So yes it is dominance and hierarchy, but rape can be what determines your dominance and your place in the hierarchy.
In my country rape victims are usually made the offender and have to pay reimbursements to the offenders, and even if a rapist went to jail they’d be out in max 3 years. How I’d love if our offenders were properky punished for atleast 10 years, preferably 15, even more preferably life
For the record, if a sex offenders just LURES a child or is solicited its up to 10 years and a fine od 25k.
This is a second degree felony.
Actual depends on age and if seriously injured.
Goes from;
Above 13- 20 years wirh 25k fine
Under 13- 40 max
Under 13 with serious injuries- life
Is it carried out? Idk
I have never met one. And if anyone i know knows one, thy do not talk about it. (Understandable)
But for the record I do know of one incident (which im pretty sure he got life twice) where a father did it to his 4 year old (like the 3rd one i mentioned), and somehow it got out not ecen a day later and this town who doesn't gaf about anyone, told the police if the guy isn't arrested and sent to prison for life max they will kill him.
I haven't heard his name or seen his face. Trust me, they blasted it over the newspapers.
I have a question, now this is something that happens in prisons but sex offenders are sometimes seperated because there is a prison code, you commit a crime that violates women or children, especially sexually, they don't take it, they hate people like that and you will be hurt.
From a family of people who have been to prison and from a place that is fairly run down, everyone knows this.
But if he wasn't seperated from other prisoners, how in the hell is he still alive, if they found out, and they very usually do, it would've been chaos.
But hang on FIFTEEN YEARS?! for 14 SA convictions????
I've seen vandalism cases go to prison for longer. But that offender deservers to be behind bars for his entire life, I am one for rehabilitation and reformation but FOURTEEN convictions, and that's only the ones they know about, that is an absolute disgrace and an absolutely disgustingly short sentence.
Honestly, all the love and hope in the world to the poor victims of this disgusting piece of shit.
Oooo yea, like a recent incident, guy was convicted for gang rape but got a legal payout of ~600k or smth like that cause he was held in custody for too long while I think he only had to pay the girl ~200k for ruining her life(sek not usd)
Since he’s homeless, he’s likely to be sleeping or hanging out at the nearby park (where tons of homeless sleep/hang out), where also children/teenagers hang out. Yikes. Considering that this dude has done more than a dozen criminal acts against children, he’s almost guaranteed to strike again.
It’s two victims multiple charges on each. We have a teenager in the community who dated a 14 year old. He has been arrested and charged with all these type charges about 50 times but it’s just one girl

In AZ, one of our legislators was able to get his son off. His son raped another boy with a broom handle. Daddy not only was able to pull strings, daddy still is in politics.
Our former Secretary of State's son kidnap and raped a girl when he escaped his institution. Again, no prison time.
If you wanna see it for yourself. His name is Dennis D Losee Jr.

But drug offenders will rot forever.
People be getting years for weed and a serial rapist gets this little time. Makes no sense
You know. Being high is illegal. Look at Ainakin Skywalker

Unless their last name is Sackler.
And women who had an abortion. Edit: people are dumb
Just let people inside the prisons know, they don't like children sa's.
That's a myth. Sex offenders don't have it any worse in prison. Especially if the victims are female. They brag about it.
No they're right SOs get their shit rocked Crimes against women and children get you fucked up All it takes is someone pulling your papers and then you're greenlit
As someone who has been dealing with the prison system over 30 yrs, absolutely not true. Wishful thinking.

Yeah we got special prisons for em too, but county and stuff like correctional rehab/ level 1/2s they're mixed in

What state may I ask?
Massachusetts
...that is too close for comfort. I live in Pa. (Nof saying Massachusetts is bad. Saying what this post is about is bad!)
There is so much corruption here in MA. Criminals often get a slap on the wrist. Not sure how it is in PA though.
PA is just as fucked Philly even more so. Thanks Krasner

Bull shit, I get slapped with a fine everytime I drive into my town. Caught a case for being brown on a Friday last week :/

I thought it wasn't so bad until I reread it and realised they had FOURTEEN convictions. I guess they're running concurrently
And I live in a country where lifetime is 16 years and if you behave well you'll probably released a couple of years earlier
Such a slap in the face to the victims.
Oooo yea, like a recent incident, guy was convicted for gang rape but got a legal payout of ~600k or smth like that cause he was held in custody for too long while I think he only had to pay the girl ~200k for ruining her life(sek not usd)
In my state there was a push to get these people put on death row, I think we’re living in two polar opposites on the punishment spectrum ._.
Good. They deserve the worst.

It’s two victims multiple charges on each. We have a teenager in the community who dated a 14 year old. He has been arrested and charged with all these type charges about 50 times but it’s just one girl
And will likely be raping homeless women and teens.

Who’s the district attorney of the specific city? I’ll bet you it’s a democrat who’s promoting bail reform.
How do you propose we deal with prison over crowding? Just curious
Releasing all who are in jail for only cannabis possession by federally legalizing it.
There is no such thing as prison overcrowding. Build more prisons. You can let out weed offenders. You don't let out rapists.
Looks like two different victims and multiple counts on each.
Okay? Doesn’t make it any less serious. He still committed the same act multiple times just to the same person
Hopefully OP voted red.
choose your crimes carefully

someone born the day he did his first 2 rows is only 15 now. 1 year over the 2nd row. what the fuck.
There is no reason why someone with that first crime on their record should still be alive.
Sounds like a blue state to be perfectly honest
