What are the prisoner policies here?

In reading caruso329's thread "your all under arrest", I was just reminded of something I was wondering before. Do they do something to protect the people in prison who can't protect themselves? like for instance, a person in a wheelchair or somebody with cerebral palsy, where would they go? I mean surely any law enforcement official or politician with a spark of common sense would know these people would be totally vulnerable to all the ass-rapings and beatings at the prisoner's whims. hell, if I went to jail with all my back and neck injuries that make it hard to go for a short walk sometimes, I'd be totally unable to defend myself at all. what's the whole policy with this?

Yeah i have thought that, as well where do celebrities go? Like if Wacko Jacko was found guilty and sent to prison, there's no way he'd be sent to general population!

Well for one that was a joke, just in case some moron thought I was being serious. And they have special facilities made for these type of people. Hospital prisons pretty much. A similar scenario would be, what happens if an inmate has a heart attack? Do they just leave him in there? No. Do they take him to a regular hospital? Wrong again. Prisons have their own hospitals, along with dentists, etc.

yea i wonder that too

Solitary Confinement

I spent five days in the Montgomery County Jail, in NY, and I can't imagine anything, like that, happening.

Dunno why but that was hilarious! lol

if you have a disability are gay ect. you are sent to protective custody, which means absolutely nothing other then your hated by the general population, the only diff. is you are wearing orange instead of green or whatever, you are not kept "safe" in fact people in protective are often the worst of offenders baby rapers wife beaters ect. or generally any other classification that if the general population found out about would get beat down, like a magnet. there are far more fights in protective custody then general population, and there are very few inmates who would choose protective over general population. the whole prison rape thing is widely overblown people are charged for this just as they are on the outside as a rape and recieve very long sentences in prison for this. prison hospitals are very minimally equipped for something major you would go to a normal hospital, health care in prison is very bad often times having to wait a month to get to something very painfull and urgent such as : hernia'a bleeding ulcers ect. they really could care less if you die.

as far as celebrities it will depend upon the crime someone like whacko jacko would go into virtual isolation probly at a state mental institution like atascadero. or would be kept with a very non threatening group, like severely ill people at the hospital

Thats correct..^^^^^...

They Put Informants-cops-pedaphiles-and alot of young first timers who they think are gonna go out the back door.(die in Jail).
into protective custody.

i don't think you'd earn much respect for beating a handicap person up in jail. you'd probably become someone's bitch, or get killed. although, the people in the wheelchairs shouldn't mind an ass-raping, unless your worried about the principality of the situation (no offense to any handicap people).

Ganj what are you saying a person in a wheelchair shouldent mind an ass raping? wtf? like there so bad off it would be a pleasure for them? as far as beating up someone whos handicapped or raping someone in a wheel-chair, people committed crimes but they are still people who have a sence of right and wrong, and I have seen this myself that with handicapped people they are often "adopted" by a particular person or even a group and they in essence become there mascott, so yes they would most likely become "disabled" themselves.
