Similar to sexual victimization outside prison, female inmates are more likely to be sexually victimized than male inmates. According to the findings from the National Inmate Survey, 6.9% of female prison inmates and 3.6% of female jail inmates had been sexually victimized by another inmate during the previous 12 months or since admission (compared with 1.7% and 1.4% for males; Beck et al., 2013). These rates are more than twice that of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization experienced by male inmates. When males are sexually victimized, they are more likely to be victimized by staff. About 2.4% of male prisoners and 2% of male jail inmates reported staff-perpetrated sexual victimization (note that consensual sexual activity with staff is considered victimization) compared with 2.3% of female prisoners and 1.4% of female jail inmates (Beck et al., 2013). White and multiracial prison and jail inmates were more likely to be sexually victimized by other inmates than were Black inmates, although Black jail inmates were more likely to experience staff-perpetrated sexual victimization (Beck et al., 2013).
