How did you protect your booty? Not even kidding. I'm like Tom. It's my biggest fear of going to prison
I shipped to prison on April 4, 2007. That first week sometime, all of us in the intake block had to watch the video sponsored by PREA (federal Prison Rape Elimination Act). It wasn't long but watching it you heard alot of guys, most of us being first timers, basically saying what they'd do if approached on some rape shyt...
I'd already been locked up since June 7, 2006; I'd long made up my mind that I was never getting out if I was raped...
The thing you learn is that prison rape in current times is fairly rare; you got dudes who are gay for free. Ain't gotta rape nobody because dudes are willful mooks (one of many slang terms for homos)...
Maybe three times I saw some homo thug pushing up on someone who wasnt apparently gay, but I always felt like those guys had that "gaydar" and could sense the guys they were pressing were downlow, curious, or could be "converted", they weren't threats. Because in none of those three occasions did the guy, who was being harassed, put these openly gay nighas away; so it always felt like if guys were openly chasing or harassing you.....you're probably gay yourself.
There is always the threat, I guess, of some random homo thug(s) running down on you in the shower or running into your cell. I wouldnt say that's a likely scenario though, but in the event I ever found myself in that situation, it's literal life or death, and if I was on the losing end and kept my life those guys were losing theirs. Just wasn't a debate mentally...
Ultimately when you inside you pretty quickly get over the shock of seeing naked men. Some prisons, the showers are open bay, meaning wide the fukk open, just find you an empty spicket and wash your ass. Most guys not looking at you and if they are you're not catching it because you not looking at them. But there's many scenarios inside where you see nikkas naked, after awhile you don't notice it. And you get used to the openly gay guys around and the DL guys fukking with boys on the sneak; 99% of these guys aren't a threat to try you like that unless you setting off they gaydar...
