Judge Tells Teen He Will Be 'Someone’s B**ch' and 'Raped Every Day' in Jail

Albuquerque, New Mexico – A sadistic judge is under fire after it was reported she told an 18-year-old boy he would “probably be raped every day” if he went to jail. Isaiah Gay was standing trial for burglary when Judge Christina Argyres gave him a horrific depiction of the type of violence and abuse he would suffer if she decided to send him to prison.

When Gay told the judge, “I did the things I did all because I was impulsive… I was just being young and dumb,” she responded by saying that he was weak and he would be quickly made into someone’s “bitch.”

The judge told him, “Do you know what would happen… to a young dumb person in prison? Do you have any idea what would happen to you? You would probably be raped every day, for one. And I hate to sound like that, you know, rude, but that’s exactly what would happen to you.”

“Again, he’s going to be somebody’s —I hate to use the word bitch, but that’s exactly what he’s going to be… so I am willing to put him on probation,” she added.

Prison rape is one of the unspoken horrors of American culture. Sadly, it is a topic many people take lightly because of their bias against criminals. It is likely that the judge was attempting to scare the young man away from a life of crime, and Argyres seems like she actually has a heart.

It is barbaric for people within the system not only to allow the problem of prision rape to continue, but to use it is as a threat to keep people in line.
