Prison Rape Poems

Hi there!

Today I'm starting my research into prison rape for a series of poems I'm writing. It's pretty threatening stuff actually. I just sent an email to several folks connected with the Nebraska State Corrections Facility. I'm wondering if they will be of any help...I'd hate to have to get a Freedom of Information Act packet and do this the hard way.

There is actually quite a bit of research on the net about this, ranging from Maxim interviews with Mike Tyson (!) to actual accounts from inmates. The content is OK, but I think actual interviews would help with the personae in a more personal way.

I wonder if there are any retired corrections officers out there? If you are one, get hold of me!
