US DOJ fails to act to prevent prison rape

Post 95278 by GnomeChompsky deleted for the following reason: A short single-link editorial is rarely a good post. Including explicit metacommentary about how the site works in a post is pretty much an instant delete. We're totally fine talking about the subject via the contact form or in metatalk if you want to, but this is not the way to do it. -- cortex

Post 94974 by COD deleted for the following reason: Not to say someone couldn't in theory put together a good post about the situation from the museum, but this is mostly you talking about your personal feelings about the whole thing and that's not how posts to mefi are supposed to work. -- cortex

Post 94779 by griphus deleted for the following reason: the difference between loljuggalos and "this is fucking abhorrent" isn't really so much for an FPP. It's really a "look at this assholes" sort of thing which is already turning into an loljuggalos thread. -- jessamyn
