It could be rehabilitatng.In a way it's also punishment.
Wrong type of rehabilitation, as I doubt a murderer or thief would cease to kill or steal, because he got some ass in the pen.
Wrong type of punishment... though it might serve as a deterrent to an anally raped murderer or thief to not commit another crime and risk going back to prison, and another round of ass-rape. So you might have a point there.

They don't call it the "federal pound-me-in-the-as prison" for nothing.😐

Not sure what that is, but the point is that no one deserves being infected with AIDS. Not sure whether issuing condoms would help though, but if you put people in a secure place, stripping away their freedom, you should have the decency to ensure that getting AIDS is not one of the punishments, not necessarily because they don't deserve it, but because it is certainly unequal.
I think that covers what I was going to say adequately. I have never considered it, but it seems like a good idea to have the option.

I think it's a good idea. Eventually some inmates get released back into society and the lesser the AIDS the better.
Don't all inmates have some sort of account where they are able to purchase items once a week or so? I was under the impression that was so.
If this is the case, there is no reason why the inmates shouldn't pay for their own condoms. 🙂
Being a sergeant in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and correctional officer for nearly 5 years now, my opinion is that inmates should not get condoms.
People, like Bardock did earlier in the thread, will always wonder why inmates, be they male or female, are not allowed to have sex whilst incarcerated. The answer is because, like Robtard said, prisons are for punitive and rehabilitation purposes, and sexual freedom is not productive to said purposes of a functioning penitentiary. Also, I might add, sexual freedom promotes power and corruption amongst inmates. It happens still, to this day, in the unti I work at, and the other corresponding units in my town (My hometown is the nerve center for TDCJ and has 14 prisons). Inmates will exert power and control over another and, more or less, pimp them out. This is where the Safe Prisons Program of the American Correctional Associaton comes in.
Inmates are going to have sex, regardless of it being consentual or flat-out rape. The STD rate, in Texas alone, has risen in the last 5 years tremendously. If we were to suddenly issue out condoms to inmates, the message we would send to each and every one of them would say "Here you go, guys. We give up. F*ck each others brains out and have a good time. Just remember to wear your jimmy hat!" We, the officers, have driven the point across to these criminals that there is no such thing as consentual sex while incarcerated. An inmate who intends to anally rape another inmate will not, I guarantee you, take the time to wear a condom.

What would you think would be worse if inmates were allowed to have sex?

If inmates were allowed to have sex, the rapes would occur 10 fold, pimping and prostitution rings would rise, and, because we have "dirty officers" who bring in money, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, etc., this would be an inherent danger to all of the other officers/employees who are not corrupted. If we gave them the freedom to act like they were not convicted felons, we would not be able to control them and we would be at great risk.
An inmate, at least, at my unit, who is convicted of rape, is given free world charges. For example, if an inmate, Bubba, we'll call him, *snaps* because he has to get him some ass, rapes poor Johnny 420, and gives him HIV, not only will he receive free world charges for murder, since he infected Johnny 420 with a deadly STD, he will also receive free world charges from a judge for rape.
We have to drive the point in to the thick, f*cking skulls of these criminals every damn day that rape will not be tolerated, and you will be, pardon the pun, royally f*cked if you do.

How would someone that has a life sentence care about that though? And how does it help Johnny 420?
Also, one could have the same rules and still give out condoms, what do you believe would happen if just condoms were given out?
