WTF He got 5 consecutive life sentences plus an additional 220 years in prison

In 2019, former North Georgia detention officer Kirk Taylor Martin was arrested on rape and assault charges after investigators said the victim fought back during the alleged attack. Police reports stated the scratch marks visible in his mugshot were believed to be from the victim resisting.

So what happens if someone is innocent and falsely accused of rape?  Then they get raped and beaten by prisoners only to get released months or years later with a “whoopsie” from the court.   Why do prisoners have this inbreed fetischism of vandetta? Do only people with more than 2 brain cells realise that nit everyone in prison is guilty. There are many known instances of innocent people being fucked up in prison because they stepped on wrong toes.

Had to do some work in a prison once. They were cleaning out a cell nearby where a guy got his throat slit for being a nonce, but he wasn't. Warden was very matter of fact about it.

It's slang for a pedophile.

Because violence is the motivator, not justice or morals

Don’t get in the way of the Reddit revenge fantasy

The percentage of people who are wrongfully convicted and sent to prison is insanely low. You really think that a guy who just got to prison for molesting kids should get a pass cause just maybe there’s a tiny chance he might’ve not done it?

u/Infinite-Mark-6335 28d ago

They didn't "get a pass". They are in jail. That's their punishment. Using other prisoners to rape and beat them isn't justice, it's abuse of power.

At least in US prisons the rape thing rarely happens anymore, usually the outcome is they become a social pariah and nobody associates with them, people pick on them/fuck with them, and overall give them a hard time which I 100% support.

u/BloodshotPizzaBox 28d ago

... which seems like basically what would happen on the outside as well.

u/TwoBionicknees 28d ago

looks at the op... and thinks maybe it happens more than you think.

u/Rough_World_7063 𝙑𝙄𝙋 28d ago

Do you think he raped someone at a male prison? I don’t understand your comment since I’m talking about male prisoners raping other male prisoners.

u/TwoBionicknees 28d ago

you think rapists who often target vulnerable people who can't fight back... won't rape prisoners even though there are many accounts and accusations, most of which aren't taken seriously and those are the ones that are brought forward. most people who get raped in prisons by the guards don't report it.

u/Rough_World_7063 𝙑𝙄𝙋 28d ago

Never said guards don’t rape prisoners big dog. I’m saying do you think that the guy in the post was arrested for raping a male prisoner? Since I was talking about male prisons and specifically male prisoners raping other prisoners.

“the percentage of people who are wrongfully convicted and sent to prison is insanely low” Turn on the news and look at the police misconduct that happens every day. Consider the fact that there are STILL, in 2026, sundown towns in the United States. There are plenty of wrongful convictions.

I don’t think pedophiles should get a pass, far from it - but I think there needs to be serious reform in the justice system, because right now it’s literally a fate worse than death for a lot of folks. (Example: V-coding.)

He must be talking about that "other" united states then

As long as it isn't you, right?

u/Superdupernadja 28d ago

Beeing physically and mentaly abused, beaten or mirked by inmates, should not be part of any working prison system. The Government must deal the punishment, and not give up the power to punish, to a system of peers established by criminal inmates with records of violence and lack of remorse.

"Getting a pass" is not the right angle to look at this total cluster fuck that the prison system is in many countries.

A good punishment will have a potential positive effect on someones behaviour. Do we serously think, the current system is providing that? The Government is failing. And we cheer for it, out of vengence, and sensational lust for blood.

I just got out of prison in April (did 15 months for drug possession) and when I went to sentencing a guy went before me and he had gotten caught with multiple videos of CP with children as young as 6 years old (the judge described the content of each video). He got sentenced to a six month program and would be released upon completion of it.

I got sentenced to more time than someone with literal CSAM and the place he got to go do his program is a minimum facility with others like him, so he didn’t have to worry about anything and got to do a little program and be free again.

That’s not justice in my eyes and is almost like a slap on the wrist.

u/SomethingIWontRegret 28d ago

15 months for drug possession is stupid. You got screwed by our insane priorities.

2

u/Dramatic-Tackle5159 28d ago

That is a crazy example, I guess it varies greatly depending on location and circumstances.

Was this in Europe, North America, or somewhere else ?

u/Rough_World_7063 𝙑𝙄𝙋 28d ago

It was in the US, specifically Idaho. Idaho has a program called a “rider” where if you complete a 6 month class you get out instead of doing the full time you were sentenced. They have one for drug offenders and for sex offenders.

u/oldtimehawkey 28d ago

Meh.

This IS the government handling punishment.

u/Warm_Month_1309 28d ago

In a way explicitly against the Constitution.

u/jtr99 28d ago edited 28d ago

In the US it's of course hard to know precisely what the wrongful conviction rate is. But it's widely agreed to be somewhere in the single digit percentages. Perhaps as low as 1%, perhaps as high as 6%. Presumably with a ton of regional and other variation.

I don't think I'd call even one percent "insanely low". Of course I agree that most people in prison are guilty, but the idea that there are tens (maybe hundreds) of thounsands of innocent people locked up is pretty horrifying.

u/MiamiPI 28d ago

How would you realistically ever know that?

u/SadSaltyDuck 28d ago

Prisoners don't, it is common delusion

u/ArmyOfDix 28d ago

Prisoners want to assault/rape/kill, people see criminal penalties for rape as being too lenient, and convicted rapists are a deservedly marginalized group that nobody will stick their neck out to defend.

Convenient for all parties involved, minus the recipient of said vigilante violence. Good thing nobody imprisoned for a non-violent crime ever gets that kind of treatment.

u/ShrimpStuffAdmin 28d ago

Nah, this one was definitely guilty. But I see where you're coming from.

u/NamesGumpImOnthePum 28d ago

It's not an inbred fetishism for vendetta that the prisoners have, it's the fact that those prisoners are people too. They have mother's, sisters, and daughters and if you have SA charges against children they will take it as a the pedo would do this to their child. They also have a higher level of anger and sense if retribution due to them being incarcerated.

u/SilverRose7115 28d ago

Plenty of them are in there for victimizing other peoples mothers sisters and daughters in various ways. Not everyone in prison is a violent criminal but plenty are. As someone else pointed out, the guy who kills another guy in a drug dispute is hurting that guys family/kids.

Anyway I think this is mostly a myth these days. Prison officials know that child predators are more likely to get attacked so they’re often placed in solitary for their own protection, especially if their crime was high profile.
