Judge threatens prisoner with rape

Great - pedophobia has now come so far that we now have judgres threatening young offenders with being raped in prison if they reoffend:

"Two or three of these (convictions) and you will be Waikeria (prison) bound. Just think about lining up in the shower with all the boys, your bar of soap in your hand," Judge Ingram warned the youth before he was led from the dock looking somewhat sour.
To point out the obvious, rape is a crime, not a punishment. And it is the last thing judges should be threatening people with. Fortunately, now we have a Judicial Conduct Commissioner...
