Interesting week in the news. The CIA torturing prisoners with power drills. A Nutjob with an assault rifle shows up at an Obama opposition rally in Phoenix. A woman yells "Heil Hitler" at a Jew during a town hall meeting (and her actions are promptly defended by a couple of skinheads). Out of all this absurdity, one thing caught my eye. Hawaii is removing 168 female inmates from a private prison in Kentucky over charges of abuse by guards. You'd think someone in Hawaii would have seen that one coming. The story is bad enough, but one little tidbit blew my mind.
In Kentucky, the rape of an inmate by a prison guard is a misdemeanor.
