Presents data from the National Inmate Survey (NIS), 2008-09,
conducted in 167 state and federal prisons, 286 local jails, and 10
special correctional facilities (operated by U.S. Armed Forces,
Indian tribes, or the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE)) between October 2008 and December 2009, with a sample of
81,566 inmates ages 18 or older. The report provides a listing of
facilities ranked according to the prevalence of sexual
victimization, as required under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of
2003 (P.L. 108-79). The prevalence of victimization as reported by
inmates during a personal interview is based on sexual activity in
the 12 months prior to the interview or since admission to the
facility, if less than 12 months. Included are estimates of
nonconsensual sexual acts, abusive sexual contacts,
inmate-on-inmate and staff sexual misconduct, and level of
coercion. The report also presents findings on reported sexual
victimization by selected characteristics of inmates, including
demographic characteristics, sexual history and orientation, and
criminal justice status. It includes details on victims'
experiences and the circumstances surrounding incidents of sexual
victimization. Highlights include the following: An estimated 4.4%
of prison inmates and 3.1% of jail inmates reported experiencing
one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another inmate or
facility staff in the past 12 months or since admission to the
facility, if less than 12 months. Female inmates in prison (4.7%)
or jail (3.1%) were more than twice as likely as male inmates in
prison (1.9%) or jail (1.3%) to report experiencing
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization. Among inmates who reported
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization, 13% of male prison inmates
and 19% of male jail inmates said they were victimized within the
first 24 hours after admission, compared to 4% of female inmates in
prison and jail.
