And speaking of sanctioned child rape

Nearly 2,100 incidents of rape and other sexual violence were recorded in US prisons in 2004, US justice authorities said.

The Department of Justice said that the highest rate of prison rape and other forced sexual acts was in state-run juvenile prisons, and that the largest portion involved prison staff abuse of inmates.

[...]

The report [...] noted that sexual violence in state-run youth prison facilities was 10 times higher than that in adult prisons.

But it can't be true, because, as you know from the Abu Ghraib stories...
"Their treatment does not reflect the nature of the American people. That's not the way we do things in America."

--George W. Bush April 30, 2004
