The likelihood that incarcerated people will be raped seems to be taken as an accepted fact by the general public in the U.S., as evidenced by the abundance of prison rape jokes which appear to crop up in even the most innocuous of places. I can only supposed that this dire reality for many prisoners seems humorous to people only when the folks making and responding to these jokes fail to see prisoners as human beings. ‘Inside This Place, Not of It’ brings home the vulnerability of people held captive by those who have the power to abuse them, often over the course of many years.
