#1 Life in a Turkish prison is actually worse than death. Wish we had the same prison system here.

Only when the guards don't have sympathies for you.

IIUC...

It is, if you happen to be a young white man without gang affiliation (sent to prison for drug-related issues most often), especially if you're frail and/or good looking... since you're literally at the very bottom of the food pyramid, and are for the taking (sexually speaking, but also in term of racket, abuse,...) of any inmate or group of inmates who wish to "turn you in".

Blacks and hispanics of similar social and physical status are much rarer in the US prisons, and they face the same threat, but they can be "turned in" only by their own ethnic group, or there would be a riot.

Whites can be and are preyed upon by just everyone, and this is the reason many join white supremacy prison gangs (who also are predators of the same not-manly/tough enough white men, btw). IIRc, I'm aware of two white-on-black hate crimes in which the white perpretator initially joined a racist group after having been gangraped by black inmates in jail (one famous internet stabbing vid, and the car-dragging of James Byrd).

See http://spr.org/ for details (liberal leaning, though nothing idiotarian IMHO, especially on such a tabo issue).
