IL: State Senate targets masturbating jail inmates, making ‘sex offender’ tag easier

It’s a daily sight being called “a pretty extreme brand of workplace sexual harassment.”

but nothing happens if the FEMALE expose themselves or masturbate in front of male staffers more than two times?

Ah, so they are punishing these inmate with something they think is so terrible it will be sure to harm hardened criminals with little to loose deeply — but that can’t possibly work, because the registry isn’t punishment. It is like a Price Club membership. If that is the case, you’ll be rewarding the masturbators. Supreme Court said so. Silly prison guards.

It is unjust and immoral to impose more penalties…..just because they have all the upper hands ! Inmates are at total disadvantages ! THIS IS TOTAL BS PEOPLE! THE MEN WILL NEVER BE FREE…… IT IS WAY OFF THE CHARTS WRONG ! NO REPRESENTATION WHILE INCARCERATION !

How about the woman correctional officers who stare at the men in the shower? This was a big problem at Avenal State Prison on yard 3. This one woman always faced the showers and the other officers would say nothing to her. It was a form of intimidation and harassment and the officers got a kick out of it. Most people ended up showering at the upstairs one. If you don’t have any enemies, then the upstairs one would be the best one under the circumstances.

There are several things wrong with this measure, for instance, no trial, hearsay evidence, or the possibility that the guard may be lying about the inmate because of a personal difference or dislike of some sort. I am sure that the guard would be given the benefit of doubt long before an inmate would. I too would like to know why it is that only male inmates are targeted in this measure, I have no doubt female inmates do likewise.

Lmfao! We’ve reverted all the way back to 1692 it’s official.
He’s a Masturbator!!! 👉🏻🤷🏼‍♂️ He’s a Masturbator!!! Burn Him!!!!

state senate target masturbating inmates LOL ! what a noble cause , none of them have any idea how sick and mean many of the women staffer can be . I would go more into it but most of you already know what I am talking about …

Funny, when I was in there were women guards that let the inmates do it to them, usually weren’t the most pleasant on the eyes, but I guess they got off on dudes spanking to them

exactly their cell is their house maybe counter with charges of peeping tom, invasion of privacy ! female pigs have no place in a prison unless its a female prison its called respect which our government doesn’t have on a LOT of levels ! little own crappy Illinois !
