…Because that sort of thing never happens in prison

From a nice piece about Uganda’s anti-homosexual bill in the Globe this morning:

The law would impose a sentence of life imprisonment on anyone who “penetrates the anus or mouth of another person of the same sex with his penis or any other sexual contraption.” The same penalty would apply if he or she even “touches another person with the intention of committing the act of homosexuality.”

So Uganda is going to punish homosexual behaviour by throwing the homosexual into close quarters with dozens of other desperate and lonely men for the rest of his life. Makes perfect sense. Of course that will ‘cure’ him.
