Memo to Ricky Gervais and Jon Stewart: prison rape is not funny, and it's really enraging to see two intelligent lefty comedians legitimizing the people who laugh at it. You can complain to Comedy Central about it here.

Glad to see Ross Douthat drawing attention to this much-neglected issue in his NYTimes blog last week. He based it on this amazing piece in the New York Review of Books.

The Douglass quote is, of course, about slavery, but what he says is true also about this ongoing cancer on our society.

Update: should have added the link to the Just Detention International website - that is the organization that used to be Stop Prisoner Rape.
