Australia’s news.com.au is part of Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid media empire. Murdoch’s news.com must be one of the ‘sources’ that Dorina Lisson has used to research how ‘caged human beings’ are mistreated when she claims that “Prisoner abuse by brutal inhumane correctional officers [in the U.S.] is rife.” Of course, the Rikers Island male inmates who are getting to make whoopee with their female guards would hardly call that brutal inhumane abuse.
With 3,900 female guards at Rikers Island, some of them are bound to be ‘sex starved’ and satisfying their hunger with some of the male inmates, but if the truth were to be told, I’m sure it would only be a small percentage doing it.
RIKERS ISLAND FEMALE JAIL STAFF ‘SEX-STARVED AND PROMISCUOUS’ SAYS FORMER GUARD
“They would do it on the midnight shift”

FEMALE guards working at the notorious US jail Rikers Island were sex-starved and promiscuous - sleeping with the prisoners they were there to keep in line, says a former guard.
"They would do it on the midnight shift when there were not many people around," ex-guard Yolanda Dickinson told the New York Post on Sunday.
Dickinson, who worked at Rikers from 1997 to 2004, recently penned a novel called "Taboo" based on the jail's out-of-control sex scene.
"They have electronic cell doors, and it's not a problem for someone to crack open the door," she said.
With 3890 female officers guarding some 12,000 men, outlaw love blossoms.
"It's a soap opera. There are a lot of lonely single women on the job, and you're surrounded by these cute guys. They're working out. They're attractive," Dickinson said.
"They're criminals, so they have a cunning way of approaching you. They study you all day," she added.
Though she claims she never had sex at work, Dickinson, 41, admits that she met a Rikers inmate on her watch, a gang member from her neighborhood who had admitted to killing a rapist.
"People looked up to him for that. He said he did the world a favor," she said.
She said her soft spot for him developed after he defended her honor behind bars by beating up another inmate who groped her.
"It made me look at him differently," she said.
Another ex-boyfriend, the father of her 17-year-old son, served 10 years in federal prison on drug charges.
She was fired for "undue familiarity" in 2004 after an inmate called her from Rikers and she denied to investigators that she had taken the call.
At least six female guards have been fired or forced out for undue familiarity with prisoners since 2007, including Kimberly Hurd, 39, who bore an inmate's love child, Yolanda Turner-Goodwin, 44, who was photographed hugging and kissing a prisoner; and Kadessha Mulgrav, 34, who allegedly sneaked away for a midnight liaison with cop killer Lee Woods in a shower room.
"Undue familiarity is illegal, and it compromises safety and security," said Correction spokesman Stephen Morello.

So what? Sexual relations between consenting adult persons is their own personal business, even when locked inside a cage. Sex is a normal human behaviour!
You miss the point, my dear Dorina.
While 'Sex is a normal human behaviour!', it is strictly verboten for jail or prison guards to have any sexual contact with inmates.
Those dumb shits were really hard up. They must have been so ugly they coudn't get laid by 'free' men.
Sexual intercourse between a custodial officer and an inmate is...as a matter of law...rape.
We have very strong laws in this country which prohibit this kind of abuse. Research the PREA act.
I am suprised and appalled that someone who so strongly champions inmates rights would post such a blatantly insensitive and flippant response.
I mean...it is well established that in a custody/inmate relationship there is no such thing as consensual sex. The after effects of such abuse can leave lasting emotional scars.
I am suprised a little dismayed that Dorina of all people wouldn't know this. I mean...being a college educated psychologist and all...
So much for the inmates rights advocate.
