Brown County Circuit Judge Donald Zuidmulder sentenced Vogel to animation in prison with no possibility for extended supervision, which is similar to parole.

Vogel told the evaluate he was sorry just before he was sentenced.

"I may not show remorse, I may not be capable to understand emotion, I may not be qualified to understand remorse itself," Vogel said. "That doesn’t mean that a person cannot be sorry for what they did at any point in day. Because I am sorry."

Vogel was already serving a 20-year pri

Sex in Prison Is Frequent Among Black Male Inmates

Black men make up a large proportion of HIV-positive men in prison, where sex between inmates is common and concern about the spread of the virus is limited. This is according to a Columbia University School of Nursing study presented at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association in Boston. The topic is of interest not only for the risk of HIV passing between inmates, but also for the risk to the general public upon their release.

Researchers took a survey of 63 ebony inmates at one of the largest maximum-security prisons for men in the country, where two-thirds of the prisoners are ebony. Many of the inmates described how the depravations of prison life fueled sex between men. While prison rape takes place, the men said, most of the sex is consensual. Some of the men had negative things to say about men who have sex with men.

“These are people who can benefit from teaching and outreach while they’re in prison, but there’s also a much larger public health issue at stake here,” Tawandra Rowell-Cunsolo, PhD, an assistant professor of social welfare science at Columbia and the st

I’ve always been gay, but I’ve never been overtly effeminate. Coming from a family of several positive male role models, I never had to hide who I was, so I never did.

Like everyone, I had heard the stories about men being “turned out” in prison. As I was being booked into Orleans Parish Prison in November of 2004, I realized I was a target.

During the processing I was placed in a holding cell with nearly fifty other prisoners.

I was terrified going into the cell. So I found a quiet see on the floor in the corner. I sat with my knees in and my arms folded with my head down, so I’m not sure how they knew I was gay. Still, a man sat next to me and put his arm around me. I attempted to spring up but another man stood over me and forcefully pushed me back down by my shoulders.

“You ain’t fighting back, is you, sweetness?” he said. I looked at him in horror as tears welled up in my eyes. The man who was standing exposed himself while the other aggressively forced me to give his friend oral sex. Out of fear, I performed oral sex on them both. Even with several people in the cell, no one said or did anything. I don’t know why I expected them to do anything.

6 facts about the mass incarceration of LGBTQ+ people

For Pride Month, we gathered a few of the most striking evidence about the criminalization of queer youth and adults.

As we’ve reported in the past, LGBTQ+ people are overrepresented throughout the criminal legal system, from their upper rates of juvenile justice involvement to the prolonged sentences they often obtain as adults. While petty government data exists about the over-incarceration of this group, research is leisurely emerging that shows how a multitude of forces push LGBTQ people into jails and prisons at highly disproportionate rates. This year, for Pride Month, we gather a limited of the most impressive facts about the criminalization of queer youth and adults.

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are more than twice as likely to be arrested as straight people — and lesbian and bisexual women, specifically, are more than four times as likely to be arrested as straight women. Scant investigate exists about the causes of these disparities, but it’s likely that drug law enforcement, laws against sex work, and the criminalization of homelessness are largely to blame.
