Female Guard Visually Raped Me

August 2012: I was admitted into CTC, our prison's medical hospital in Corcoran, California. I was taken there for evaluation.

I immediately couldn't help notice the filthy conditions that existed there. You'd expect a hospital to be immaculate. But this story is not about cleanliness, it's about disrespect to male inmates in general. One in particular incidence stands out more than other days that I stayed in the prison hospital.

I was escorted by a female guard to an area that inmates shower in. There were two separate shower rooms with windows and a tray slot in the door. Once she locked me in there, she ordered me to take off my boxers and give it to her. I immediately stripped and handed her my shorts. Ms. [redacted] stood there and sized me up, and then she got me a toothbrush and tooth powder. I thought it was a bit strange because she stood outside the door watching me shower. When I finished, she popped the tray slot and hands me a towel, all while she watched. When I was dry, she asked for my wet towel and I embarrassingly hand it to her. Then she gave me some clean boxers and smiled.

Male nudity is nothing new in prison. But imagine this: would you want some strange female watching your father shower? That's what you get for prison fathers and brothers exposed to female guards taunting when they're nude.

At Avenal, a prison in California, is all dorm living (minimum security). But they are treated worse than a high-level security inmate. There is no modesty sections. The showers are out in the open, and female guards are stationed on a podium no more than five feet from the showers. I'm sure these females don't consider themselves as perverts because they were hired into the department. Such lewd behavior in the free world would warrant an arrest. CDC is not setting good examples and never does a logical option.

No inmates get raped in showers. That is a Hollywood concept. Rapes occur in cell block living. So why not put modesty walls in these shower areas? And why would women accept working under such conditions? I believe that female guards like it because it empowers them in a safe environment while they get to enjoy the sexual exploitations of nude males.
