Richards 0 #1 November 24, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/11/23/brazil.prison/index.html A 15 year old girl was left in a cell with 20 male inmates. The obvious happened and now human rights advocates are pushing an investigation. Be forewarned if you read the article it is quite upsetting. Her jailers had to be perfectly aware of what would happen to her so in my opinion they are as guilty as the inmates who raped her. I guess one can only hope that the international attention to this will force the government to bring those responsible to trial and adequately punish them. Anyone familiar with brazils system? Will she get any real justice? Is this common practice there? My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I have no idea. 18, 15 whatever..it just seems so disturbingly cruel that I cannot fathom how people like that could be hired as law enforcement. According to the story this has happened before. I guess the only good that can come from this is the media attention and presure from international groups will hopefully force the authorities to prosecute the guards responsible and throw away the key on these guys, which hopefully may ensure that there will not be repeat incedents of this behaviour. After something like that I am not sure she will ever be fully normal My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
