Prison Rape should not be used as a crime deterrent...

...but there are exceptions to every rule:

Notorious spammer Robert Soloway faces an extended spell behind bars after pleading guilty to fraud and tax evasion charges last Friday. Soloway, 28, from Seattle, has previously been found guilty of sending spam in several civil cases, most notably when Microsoft won a $7.8m judgement against him back in 2005. But he's always avoided paying fines. Now, however, the man authorities have described as the "King of Spam" (arguably one of the most overused phrases in computer security) is in far more serious trouble. As well as facing a maximum sentence of 26 years behind bars, Soloway faces the indignity of being questioned about where he's stashed his ill-gotten gains while being monitored by a lie-detector.

Now, put this clown in REAL federal prison rather than Club Fed for six months to a year. If he survives, parole him, making one of the conditions that he go around telling other wannabe spammers, phishers, and other assorted geek-criminals what it's like to be a prison bitch. Maybe that will stop some of them.
