Prisons
In Cape Town, South Africa 10 years ago a man named Michael Adams was raped by two men in prison. Adam had told the nurse in prison what had happened and she just told him " This is just what happens in prison". Adam unfortunately got AIDS from the assaults of the 2 men who raped him. Still till this day Adam at age 37 and out of jail; also living with his mother he still has nightmares about his incident. A lot of South Africa's prisons have this problem with sexual harassment. Adam is still trying to deal with his HIV but also Africa is trying to fix their own problems with their prisons.

That's really scary and an awful thing to have to live with, both cases of trauma
ReplyDeleteIt's true that this happens in prisons there and here too, but it's awful that doctors and guards just say that, "It's what happens"
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. I hate that this man has to live with this virus for the rest of his life.
