Perhaps, but sometimes tacky is funny. I used to have the whole Truly Tasteless Joke Book catalogue... because they were funny! Trust me, in jail, there is a lot of nervous joking about such things, because it takes the edge off of the genuine fear some inmates have. Jail isn't prison, and it's important to remember that. I have some crazy stories from jail and I was only there for 10 days. It's like a really boring summer camp for miscreants and ne'er-do-wells. They put all the really violent hardcore guys in isolation or prison-like cells to await trial, but the drunk drivers, wife beaters, shoplifters, bums and habitual drug users in gen-pop are just the sort of guys you see working construction or stocking shelves or leaning up against the garage smoking a cigarette on break from the local Pep Boys. A bunch of irresponsible fuck-ups who can't keep their shit together long enough to stay out of the government's clutches. They're really not likely to sexually victimize anyone. But, they'll joke about it, because they're afraid of it. I may have told this story before, but one night they scared the crap out of one really young kid who was in for dealing heroin at his very wealthy high school. He'd never been anywhere near guys like this, and they were pretty jealous of his wealth, the fact he had a real lawyer instead of PD, parents who gave a shit, and that he would probably get bailed out long before the interminable wheels of justice got around to rolling over them. So, they pranked him (after lights out, they told him to go to the the shower stall, where a big naked inmate was waiting, slapping his dick in his hand like a weapon). He screamed and ran to the CO's, everyone laughed, the pranksters got a day in the fishbowl and were the heros of the dorm for the rest of the week. Everyone said sorry to the kid, gave him some commissary to heal his wounded pride, after which even he had to admit they got him pretty good, and life went on. That's what passes for humor in jail, Rill.
