Speaking Out Against Prison Rape
Tuesday, November 21, 2006
When T.J. Parsell was 17 years old, he held up a Photo Mat with a toy gun and was sent to prison. On his first night behind bars, he was drugged and raped by four inmates. In his new memoir, Fish, he speaks out about sexual abuse in prison.
