Is there a way to find out what type of laws there are concerning rapes in the prisons? Canadian ones that is. I worry about my man,due to the type of crime that was committed. I believe there shouldn't be this sort of thing happening. Lord knows it doesn't prove anything and can make things worst having to deal with rape,and your other issues of why you are in there. I pray everynight that he is safe.

I'm sure there are laws against rapes in Canadian prisons just as there are here. The laws don't prevent rape from happening, though. Rapes do happen. Don't let yourself worry constantly about this, though. I've seen that you've posted this more than once, so I know it's really bothering you. You really should try to get your mind off of it. Worrying about it is stressing you out but it isn't going to protect your husband. Chances are good that he won't be raped because steps are taken to prevent it. All the stress of worrying about it is bad for your health and not helping him any.

Now, I hope you'll take this in the right way and not think I'm hardened and callous about it. I've been raped myself more than once and while it's a horrible, frightening, ugly, painful experience, it's survivable emotionally and it doesn't destroy a person. It's entirely possible to move on and continue with a normal life after rape if you want to and you work at it. Please try to give yourself peace of mind about it and trust God to take care of your husband.

If your husband is in jail on a rape conviction or child molestation conviction, then he needs to try and keep that to himself, I would think. If this is his first time in jail, he is likely scared and unsure about how things run in there.
IF he ends up running into trouble, have him "check in" to Protective Custody. From what I hear, it isn't easy time, cus you lose alot of freedoms with it, but he will probably be safer than in General Pop.
Also, look at maybe having him transferred to a prison that has a higher percentage of Sex Offenders in there. It may be farther away from you, but his safety should be the first concern for both of you, I guess.
Good luck to you both.

Thanks for your cares and concerns about me. Yes I'm worried about him as I love him and don't want to believe that he could get hurt,while trying to deal with his issues. But I have to remember he has been in before,not for same crime,and he knows his way around the block a bit. I'm sure he's alright. I just have to believe.

pc is not such a bad thing in canadian jails ....
the only problem is once (if) he goes in ...he should not come back out .... once word on the rang hits that he just came out of PC >>>he would have "serous" problems..
the up side is,(in pc) he can have a tv-vcr and cable in his cell (he-you pay for it )passes the time ...and better then reading all the time ... good luck...

Thanks
He's by himself and he watches alot of tv and movies. He hasn't said anything bad. But he knows that I would be bothered by it,and he knows that I wouldn't be able to do anything. So he is sparing me,by not telling me anything bad that could,or has happened. Which I understand. I'm getting alot better,about it-meaning I'm not worrying as much. I just send him more letters.

I have learned over the years (i sound like i have been a prisoners wife for decades, its only the past 4 years) to try my damndest not to worry about my man. It can make you sick worrying but you cant. You have to keep living and function as normal as possible. Trust me , he will let you know if he needs to. It may take alot for him to tell you but if he has to he will. My man trys really hard to not let me know things as he knows I will worry and make myself sick.

My man is also in the most notorious violent federal penns in canada. It is often referred to as the armpit of the canadian federal prison system. I know guys that would transfer out of province so that they didnt have to go to KP!

PC is always an option and that is what PC is for. Just like they said you cant check back out once you've checked in. Alot of PC ranges are quiet and you can do your own time cause that is why everyone else is there to do there own time and not have to worry about bullshit!

Keep your head up and try real hard not to worry about him . I am sure he can handle his own !

Peace, Jill

As a former prisoner in Canada, I did not see or hear of any rapes, that does not mean it did not occur, but I found that the prison's in Canada are much safer than in the States. There is no need to divulge your crime to anyone no matter what prison you are in, my advise is that your husband concentrate on the advantages and keep away from those people that cause problem's. Prison like life is what you make it, and while problems can come your way you must learn how to deal with them, what he needs from you is your unconditional love and support no matter what he goes through that alone will give him the courage to see it through.
