If it wasn’t already bad enough that Brock Turner will only be serving six months behind bars for raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, it appears he won’t have to be amongst the general population either.
Brock Turner will be serving his sentence at the Santa Clara County Jail where he will be placed under protective custody. This means that he will be kept away from general population and will have a deputy escort whenever he moves around the grounds. The only inmates he’ll really have any access to will be other inmates under protective custody.
Apparently, prison officials say that those convicted of sexual assault are normally targeted in jail. I say, if you don’t want to be convicted of sexual assault, don’t rape people. It’s already bad enough that he could be out of jail by September with good behavior.
It’s very sad that the system is more concerned about his safety and the affects of jail on his life, than they are the 23 year old woman he raped.
