What will be an ideal response?


• In the 2008–2009 PREA survey of inmates, women had twice as high a rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization compared to men, yet a lower rate of staff sexual misconduct.Women described sexual victimization as ranging from sexual comments and touching to sexual assault by aggressors. The threat of unanticipated sexual violence appeared to be less likely than in men's prisons, and sexual violence more often involved relationships going bad through disrespect or jealousy.
