A survey was conducted of jails and prisons to identify the level of sexual violence reported to the correctional agency. In 2008, for example, allegations of sexual impropriety were broken down as follows: 34 percent were allegations of staff sexual misconduct, 31 percent of inmate-on-inmate nonconsensual sexual acts, 19 percent inmate-on-inmate abusive sexual contact, and 16 percent staff sexual harassment.
