Someone I know is a horrible immigrant, no respect for this country, and is now in jail on a rape charge - second time he's been to jail. Who can I notify of this to try to get him out of the country?

If he's in jail then I'm sure they already know about it. He's been ran through the system twice. If it was a problem they would have deported him but he must do his jail time here first.
Crime and Deportation
Although we don't expect that you will commit serious crimes, it is important to remember that even though you have a "Green Card", you can be deported from the United States if you:
are convicted of even a minor drug related offense;
are convicted of certain crimes which are considered felonies;
are convicted of any two crimes not arising out of a single scheme;
knowingly encourage or aid anyone to enter the United States illegally or fraudulently;
fail to notify the USCIS of a change of address;
engage in espionage, sabotage, or terrorist activities.

What country are you talking about?
Australia regularly revokes permanent residency if someone is sentenced to 1 year or more in prison.

Yes, convicted felons sometimes lose their residency and are deported. However, local law enforcement people and courts don't always know this, and don't always notify USCIS (INS no longer exists).
I can't find where to contact to report such a person on the USCIS web page. Try your local office first:

The only way he can get his residency revoked is if he is convicted and has to spend more than 18 months in custody.

Once a citizen always a citizen, unless he is an immigrant. If the person is a horrible immigrant then it is possible, but difficult, to revoke his citizenship and have him deported.
Start at this web site from Got Trouble: http://www.gottrouble.com/legal/criminal/deportation/deportation_grounds.html
According to the Center for Immigration Studies: http://www.cis.org/articles/2002/back1002.html
"Government watchdogs have found the INS to be habitually lax in its efforts to track down and help boot out the worst criminal offenders among the alien population. A number of federal laws require the agency to initiate deportation actions against aliens convicted of aggravated felonies as quickly as possible and before they are released from federal or state prisons. Congress increased funding and staffing for a Justice Department program to speed up this process. Yet, thousands of criminal aliens have been released into the public after serving their sentences because of the INS's failure to screen and send them into deportation hearings. This failure both endangers the public and is costly. If INS had completed proceedings for all deportable criminal aliens released from federal and state prisons in 1995 before their release, it could have avoided nearly $63 million in detention costs."
The crime that the person committed is also important. If it can somehow be linked to terrorism then the Patriot Act comes into play and things speed up. Collect this guy’s criminal record, and obtain statements from his victims and people that know him and are willing to “dish out the dirt.”
Visit the INS Office near you and ask them how to start procedures. Go to this web site to find the local office: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/distsub_offices/index.htm
See if there is a local Victims Rights group who are willing to help. Maybe if you get one of his victims to say “That they fear what he will do to them after he gets out of jail.”

There are better answers than this on already. Whoever mentioned INS, it is now ICE (Immigration & Custums Enforcemnent).

They probably already know if he is in jail.

~*~ when he serves his time, if he is illegal he will then be turned over to INS and deported.. if he enters illegal again then he more than likely will do time in Federal Prision..~*~
