Grits for Breakfast: Texas leads nation in prison rape allegations

Grits for Breakfast: Texas leads nation in prison rape allegations: "Texas reported the highest number of allegations of prison rape in the country according to the first-ever national study on the subject conducted by the Department of Justice: inmates alleged 550 incidents of prisoner-on-prisoner rape in 2003, but in only 13 cases were charges sustained. Texas' rate of sustained allegations was abominably low -- about 2%, compared to about 30% sustained nationally. It makes you doubt whether the Texas Department of Criminal Justice takes these cases seriously."
