As of early 2008, Human Rights Watch reports that roughly half of all prison and state inmates are mentally ill. 76% of all sexual offenses are committed by someone related to or acquainted with the victim.

Fermented

You awaken and It's there.

 

Piss and grease and sweat

and disinfectant,

metal on metal on metal;

radios, and bets

made out of boredom.

 

A slim young thing

swishes by in roach-bitten flip-flops.

Some call him the Countess. 

 

Others call him faggot.

 

He slings a cup

of week-old shit and piss at you.

 

Mustard brown and fermented,

it slaps a scratched and clouded square

of plexiglass.

 

Men who call him faggot

laugh and cheer.

 

Fermented,

fear is boredom.

 

You awaken.

 

And It's there.

Oh lost causer, this is profound in layers of shame and degradation. Strong poetry!
