Rape Me Not!

About a Young Girl's Rape Last Month in Monroe County Correctional Facility, Pennsylvania

Elizabeth Grieco
Rape me not!

I'm just a weak vessel that

Needs to be held and loved,

But yet you persecute me

For being sick and troubled.

Stop raping me!

I'm just a weak vessel who's

In need of compassion and

Not your aggression from

Your own afflictions!

God, please don't forsake me

Clothe me in your strength and love

To help guide me through this

Journey of pain and scars.

Stop raping me!

    Have you thought about writing an article about this story rather than a poem?

    Your right, and not only are they shoving rapes, they are ignoring suicides that
    could be murders from a serial killer from inside. The reporters never pull the coroner's reports! That gives these Correction Officers and the higher up's the
    green light to do as they please! This jail is filled with corrupt officials!
    Spread the word! A Correction's officer from NYC. had the misfortune of getting
    caught with a DUI. His experience within the system was so horrific for him that
    he wrote a book, called the "Judicial Mafia of Monroe County, PA" It describes
    the judges and lawyers are all in cahouts! It's so unjust this system! I want to get the word out. Tell you friends..thanks

    This is very disturbing, but I am sure that rape of female prison inmates is far more common than we think. It seems that "society" wants to shove this under the rug rather than address and/or prevent this.
