Fresh meat in prison

Rusty Idols: "Fresh meat"
WINNIPEG - A Winnipeg judge warned two violent young offenders Monday that they face bleak futures - which could include being raped in federal prison - if they don't turn their troubled lives around.

"Next stop is Stony Mountain," provincial court Judge Ronald Meyers told a 17-year-old boy, who along with a 15-year-old pleaded guilty to three armed robberies of Winnipeg businesses.

"I don't know whether you're prepared to consider yourself the girlfriend of some guy in there. But that's what awaits you. An 18-year-old fresh face comes in and it's fair game. Think about that."


The Canadian Press OTTAWA --
The Supreme Court of Canada has awarded $140,000 to a B.C. man who
suffered sexual abuse at the hands of a jail guard -- reducing the
amount awarded by a lower court by almost half.

Zastowny is one of dozens of prisoners MacDougall allegedly preyed on.

"He
targeted younger inmates, inmates who had been sexually abused in the
past and/or inmates who had little experience in jail,'' according to
one statement of claim.
