Sex in Prison

Although sexual contact of any kind is forbidden by all prisons’ rules, the truth is that it still happens. Both men and women inmates engage in consensual sex or violent rape. In 2003, Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act, or PREA. This act required a complete evaluation of the problem of prison rape and the development of national policies to prevent sexual violence in prison. Under the terms of PREA, every prison in the United States is required, among other things, to:

• Implement internal policies and procedures to promote accountability of inmates who perpetuate sexual violence within the correctional system.

• Provide immediate crisis intervention following victim disclosure or identification.

• Utilize technologies and other state-of-the-art equipment to enhance monitoring (eliminate blind spots) and reduce the opportunities for victimizations.

• Conduct specialized pre-service and in-service training programs for correctional staff.
