Marilyn Shirley testifies in front of the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission about being raped by a prison guard.
Shirley emotionally describes how she was brutally raped by a prison guard. She recalls the horrible threats that the officer whispers in her ear during the act. He then terrorizes her even more by saying that if she does tell someone about the rape, no one will believe her because she is a convict and he is an upstanding officer of the law.
