Survivor Stories

Warning: Some of these stories are graphic, uncensored accounts of actual rapes and surrounding circumstances. The language used is raw, employs street slang, and is often upsetting, so caution is advised. However, these accounts convey the realities of prisoner rape in ways that no statistics or abstract analysis can do.
