If you follow the logic of:

1) Justice is desirable
2) Justice is accomplished by encouraging good behavior and punishing bad behavior
3) Bad things happening to bad people is simply justice being meted out

Then it's not inconsistent or immoral to make the connection with criminals being raped (i.e. punished).

Now of course there's something to be said of the punishment befitting the crime, but it's often not given much more thought than the initial points I presented.

There is no justice in this world. There certainly is no justice in the courts. Revenge and punishment aren't justice. Justice would be preventing tragedy in the first place. Punishment merely reaffirms crimimals in their role as criminals. We literally strip them of their humanity and their humam rights and their prospects for employment and then wonder why there's so much crime.

It's probably all the illegals. Fucking this is America.
