Getting raped is not part of the punishment/sentence. That's a pretty ridiculous thing to say.
Regardless of how you personally feel about criminals, even one who, say, killed and raped a helpless old lady, it is illegal to knowingly give someone a cruel or unusual punishment. It's illegal for the guards or any correctional officer to knowingly allow this to happen.
As much as you'd like it to be, the system isn't "eye for an eye" because even though they're a criminal and aren't fit to live in society, that doesn't make them exempt from the 8th amendment.
Getting anally raped is considered torture and humiliation.
