I'm betting that Kevin was being sarcastic. Unfortunately, sarcasm and reduction to absurdity don't work very well online.

No, I was being serious, thinking that federal prisons are a great deal safer than state and county prisons. A cursory search says this may be marginally true but not to the extent that I should have reasonably claimed that the US Federal prison system doesn't have a rape problem. Clearly there is a rape problem.

I wondered if that was the case, but as a sarcastic remark I don't understand what it adds to the previous comment.
