Sexual Victimization in State and Federal Prisons

  • par: Mark
  • destinataire: Helping to end the senseless brutalization of men and women prisoners.







  • A National Inmate Survey, (NIS 2007) was conducted in 146 State and Federal prisons between April and August 2007. The report includes statistics from national level and facility level institutions. The survey recorded levels of nonconsensual sexual acts, abusive sexual contacts, inmate on inmate and staff on inmate incidents. Some of the findings are as follows according to the U.S. Department of Justice*Office of Justice Programs:















    • An estimated 60,500 inmates (or 4.5% of all State and Federal inmates) experienced one or more incidents of sexual victimization involving other inmates or staff.






    • Nationwide, about 2.1% of inmates reported an incident involving another inmate and 2.9% reported an incident involving staff.






    • Among the 146 prison facilities in the 2007 NIS, 6 had no reports of sexual victimization from the sampled inmates; 10 had an overall victimization rate of at least 9.3%.














Among the 10 facilities with the highest overall prevalence rates, 3 had prevalence rates of staff sexual misconduct that exceeded 10%.

"We the undersigned",

Encourage our political leaders and government officials to please adopt policies that encourage State and Federal prison officials and prison staff, to treat every prisoner with respect and encourage rehabilitation amongst the general population:

Also, to pass laws making it illegal for any State or Federal Prison Staff to engage in abusive sexual conduct or promote said sexual misconduct between inmate-on-inmate or staff-on-inmate.

Conduct regular inspections to ensure policies are being carried out and proactively enforce policies that protect and promote an atmosphere conducive for rehabilitation. Encourage inmates and provide safe and confidential facilities for reporting sexual or other forms of physical abuse. The ability to report abuses without fear of reciprocal violence, is paramount for rehabilitation.

Every prisoner, man or woman, deserves the opportunity to change their lives and become productive members of society but living in fear and pain, significantly reduces those chances of ever having a normal life.

Thankyou for taking the time to sign this petition and hopefully our prison systems will become safer institutions for all concerned.
