Maybe just don't go to prison in the Midwest?
[quote name="skip"]That seems ridiculously high compared to the Bureau of Justice's <a href="http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=4373">latest prison rape statistics that they put together last month, apparently.</a> [quote name="BSJ"] *An estimated 9.6% of former state prisoners reported one or more incidents of sexual victimization during the most recent period of incarceration in a jail, prison, and post-release community-treatment facility. *Although the rate of sexual victimization in state prison reported by former inmates (7.5%) was higher than the rate reported by inmates in previous BJS surveys (4.8% in 2008-09), the difference may reflect longer exposure periods (39.4 months and 7.9 months, respectively). *More than three-quarters of all reported staff sexual misconduct involved a male inmate with female staff. *Among former state prisoners, the rate of inmate-on inmate sexual victimization was at least three times higher for females (13.7%) than males (4.2%). *About 5.4% of former state prisoners reported an incident involving another inmate, and 5.3% reported an incident involving facility staff. *An estimated 1.2% of former prisoners reported that they unwillingly had sex or sexual contact with facility staff, and 4.6% reported that they “willingly” had sex or sexual contact with staff. *Among heterosexual males, an estimated 3.5% reported being sexually victimized by another inmate. In comparison, among males who were bisexual, 34% reported being sexually victimized by another inmate. Among males who were homosexual or gay, 39% reported being victimized by another inmate.
