Australia needs to take action to ensure people committed to prison are safe. Its thier duty! As they say you can judge how civilised a country is by the state of its prisons.Taking away a persons liberty is the punishment, they should not suffer abuse at the hands off thier goalers or by other inmates.

I wonder what the outcry would be if large numbers of women were being raped in prison.Just reinforces the casual attitude about violence and rape against men , both straight and gay.

I never implied just in prison. Anywhere and everywhere some males are incapable of genuine love and feeling for others, but this young guy was saved from a situation from which he`d have nowhere to run. Prison authorities appear not to care. The judge is a wise and caring person. I hope the young driver improves his ways after the warning, however many may assume a wrong idea that just because some prisoners fuck other men, often violently, that they are gay. Not so.

"Ugly, hairy men"? Sounds like Horsemeat Disco!
Still, 19 year old tearaway… who wouldn't?!

Probably many may think that the judge is implying that gaols are full of homosexual men which is just not the reality of gaol population. I believe the judge is aware that amongst low life heterosexual men there are those who will fuck man, woman or beast when that`s all that is available.
