Jail hell: HIV by 'slow puncture'

Cape Town (South Africa -LL) - Prison gangs are using HIV infection by rape as punishment in a grim ritual known as "slow puncture", the Jali Commission heard on Wednesday.

The director of the office of the judicial inspectorate of prisons, Gideon Morris, said gang tribunals sentenced errant gang members, or prisoners who refused to join them, to be raped by HIV-positive inmates.

Sometimes, the rape would be carried out by one person, sometimes by several.

"They give him a "slow puncture", meaning he will die over a peiod of time," Morris told the commission.

He had first heard of the punishment about six months ago, in the Western Cape and on the East Rand.

"It's a new phenomenon," he said.

If that inmate died in prison of Aids-related conditions, it would be recorded as a natural death.

He also said the number of prisoners who died of natural causes rose 528%, from 186 in 1995 to 1 169 last year, an increase considerably higher than the 38% increase in prison population.

High demands on immune systems

Morris said: "The poor hygienic conditions caused by overcrowding are placing high demands on the immune systems of prisoners, and this seems to contribute to this escalation in the number of natural deaths.

"Even the most-healthy person would find it difficult to remain healthy if he or she was locked up in some of these prisons."

Added to this was the increased number of HIV/Aids prisoners admitted from outside prison, he said.

Replying to a question from the commission's leader of evidence, Vas Soni, he said it was difficult to say whether Aids was the largest cause of death.

*sigh* Any thoughts?
 
there is no point

life is just a passageway to hell with a little deception
 
well.. I guess they could stand up for themsleves and go out in a blaze of glory and stab a few of the gang to death before he in turn gets killed. It just depends on if you want to go out with a little shred of human dignity or not. *instert Sean Connery speech from Untouchables here*You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send on of his to the morgue!
 
or a more sinister long term plan would be to accept the HIV and then go on a quiet rampage to give AIDS to the clean members of the gang any way you can.

Hmm, interesting idea. You could take a needle of some sort, dip it in your blood, and stab someone. Or, you could do it the old fasion way. :sick:

I think I'd prefer to send one to the morgue and then die myself. Don't really know, and I'd prefer not to think about it.
 
buckling a seatbelt is base, ignorant and immature? Brushing your teeth? Mammograms?Not all proactive self defense is related to violence, ya know.
 
You can call me childish all you want if I were to kill someone for breaking into my home at 2am.
Maybe you should post a sign on your door stating that you will not fight back and am unarmed.
