This post is a bit crude and explicit. Reader beware.
Reading more of Stephen King’s recent novel The Institute. There is a graphic excerpt towards the middle: “‘Save your wise mouth for your friends. Drop your trou and bend over the chair, or I’ll do it for you. And you won’t like it.’ … To break me down, Luke thought. To make sure I understand I’m a guinea pig, and when you have guinea pigs you can get the data any old way you want…Maybe it’s just a way of saying If we stick this up your a–, what else can we stick up there? Answer: Anything we feel like.”
Authorities can abuse their power in the mistaken notion they are correcting the behavior of individuals. I don’t like to use rape as a metaphor because the real thing is so atrocious. But police officers and other authorities can effectively rape people. Maybe they will not actually have forced sex with you, but they will sometimes physically torture you.
