A 25-year-old man just released prison after spending 12 years behind bars, is full of sad memories of how prison officials at the highest level passed him around for anal sex, and finally landing him with Human Immune Virus and the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV-AIDS).
The ex-prisoner, a 25 year-old-man who lives in Mankweng, outside Polokwane, Limpopo said he was released last month after being arrested last year about this time. He said he was arrested with a charge of rape and denied bail until last week when he was released due to the case having insufficient evidence.
He said: “I was s0d0mised from the first day I was arrested until my release, they r_ped me and exchanged me like I’m a pr0stitute. I was defenceless because the bosses in the prison have gangs & some wardens are on their payroll.
“They forced me the 1st day by holding me tight and putting their thing inside me. After that, I just agreed because I had lost all my dignity and felt so disgraced. The bosses would sell me to the next boss when he swaps prison or sees another one he wants. The other inmates mocked me and called me a woman. The worse thing about the whole thing is I’m now infected with HIV/AIDS. I don’t really know which of the 19 bosses that s0d0mised me is responsible for this.”
