Kinky Kiwi: Who are we to decide who deserves the punishment of rape? In my eyes the main function of a prison is to keep the public safe, and thus we are forced to determine how long someone must be locked away. But as far as cruel and unusual punishment goes i think rape is towards the top of the list and isn't exactly the best way to help a prisoner reform. I would much rather see someone who has commited a crime become a beneficial part of society and a reformed person, then see them be punished and locked away for the rest of their lives.
And if you're religous (christian), or just a reminder of a generally accepted moral... Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
