Where did I at any point support "prisoner rape"...??
It was you who infered your own conclusions based on your preconceptions of the matter. You may want to crticize yourself, before you do the same to me.

It's common knowledge that people who commit sex crimes, especially those against children become victims of sexual assault themselves while in prison because of this. What else were you implying?

Let's not condone any prison rape at all. To prison rapists it makes no difference who they are raping. It's just one more validation of their sick behavior.

Actually - these people can be helped. Just look up recent research on utilizing neurofeedback for personality disorders, and attachment disorders.
Neurofeedback has about a 80% - 90% success rate in treating these individuals.
You are correct though, that with traditional methods of treating individuals (drugs/psychotherapy) they are generally considered untreatable.
Here's once such example of sociopaths/psychopaths being treated with neurofeedback: www.bmedreport.com...
but historically those people will re-offend and it would not be right to the next child that is victimized.

It is a myth that certain inmates are singled out for special treatment by other inmates. There is a hierarchy, yes, but no one goes out of their way to rape child abusers or baby rapers.

I would not go singing the praises of the US justice system. There are many cases of child rape and child abuse where the sentence is very light for much the same reasons as listed in the Canadian case used in the OP.
This is especially true with sex offenders, here in the US there are many cases where these people get released to offend again and again and again.
Well said, and it is very sad.

That is not true at all, sex offenders actually re-offend less than other criminal groups, watch less TV.
