Guards at Rikers Island jail in New York City strip-search the 300 inmates in the Central Punitive Segregation Unit every time they leave or enter their cells says the New York
Times.
The prisoners are given one hour of recreation every day. This means that they are strip-searched at least twice a day. In addition, guards make surprise searches of the prisoners several times a week.
Thus the unit's 124 guards spend a lot of their time searching the 300 naked toughs.
In more than 30 inches of text about "the Bing," as the unit is called, the
Times chose the particular spot where it mentioned the strip-searches to mention also that guards who work there volunteer for the job. Mmmmm.
The paper did not say whether there is a waiting list of volunteers to guard these alluring psychopaths, who are sent to the Bing from jails all over the city as punishment for violence.
Nor does the Times say whether the frequent strip-searches in the Bing include a search up the asshole, which is part of a comprehensive strip-search. Perhaps the guards finger-fuck only their favorites.
Elsewhere in the prison literature, inmates tend to complain about strip-searches. But some of the Bing inmates may find the searches a welcome distraction, and a sensual one, from their dismal routine in six-by-eight-foot cells with no windows, no TV, no radio, and
worst of all, no cigarettes. In all likelihood they spend an enormous amount of time beating their meat.
Even thus confined, the Bing inmates do not appear to be completely subdued; on an average of once every two weeks a prisoner has to be hospitalized "for injuries inflicted by guards," the paper says.
