Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Myth of Prison Rape provides a nuanced glimpse into the complex sexual dynamics of American prison. Drawing on results from the most comprehensive study of inmate sexuality to date, Mark S. Fleisher and Jessie L. Krienert analyze the intricacies of sexuality and sexual violence in daily inmate life. Pulled from over 500 interviews from male and female high-security inmates, their research assesses inmate perception, belief, opinion, and explanation of their own behavior as it relates directly and indirectly to sexual life and sexual violence. Dynamic case studies and interview excerpts enliven this cultural study of sexuality, safety, and violence in American prisons, and an appendix introduces readers to prison sexual vocabulary.

Download or read book The Prevalence of Prison Rape and the Importance of Incorporating Inmate Concerns Into Preventative Measures written by Ryan Jonathan Le and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The misconception of the prevalence of prison rape is beginning to shift. The rarity of prison rape has led to changes in how we address rape in prison. After the successful passing of PREA in 2003, informative prevention guidelines have been proposed and implemented to combat prison rape. The goal of PREA was to inform, educate and train correctional staff and personnel to detect, prevent and respond to alleged prison rape incidents. Although PREA led to the creation and implementation of prevention strategies in prisons across the country, inmate perception of rape prevention programming has not been thoroughly examined in the literature. This research study aims to evaluate currently implemented prevention guidelines within correctional facilities by identifying trends and availability of prison rape prevention methods, as well as incorporating concerns and recommendations from inmates to improve prevention programs, a method that has not been frequently employed in other studies. The public perception of rape defies the reality of prison rape. Inmate based intervention and prevention guidelines need to be available to correctional staff, personnel and incarcerated inmates to successfully reduce the culture of prison rape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rape is a fact of life for the incarcerated. Can American society maintain the commitment expressed in recent federal legislation to eliminate the rampant and costly sexual abuse that has been institutionalized into its system of incarceration? Each year, as many as 200,000 individuals are victims of various types of sexual abuse perpetrated in American prisons, jails, juvenile detention facilities, and lockups. As many as 80,000 of them suffer violent or repeated rape. Those who are outside the incarceration experience are largely unaware of this ongoing physical and mental damage—abuses that not only affect the victims and perpetrators, but also impose vast costs on society as a whole. This book supplies a uniquely full account of this widespread sexual abuse problem. Author Michael Singer has drawn on official reports to provide a realistic assessment of the staggering financial cost to society of this sexual abuse, and comprehensively addressed the current, severely limited legal procedures for combating sexual abuse in incarceration. The book also provides an evaluation of the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 and its recently announced national standards, and assesses their likely future impact on the institution of prison rape in America.

Book excerpt: This study examines prison sexual violence in adult and juvenile New York State prisons. To an inmate, the formal structure of a prison – its planned work, recreation, and rehabilitation – may be a thin veneer. The ‘real’ world is the social environment, created by the convict community, and sexual violence is a traditional part of that environment. A range of sexual behaviors, all perceived as threatening and offensive by the targets of aggressors were examined, with discussion on the nature of the overture, the physical and verbal response of the target, his thoughts and feelings, the living patterns resulting from sexual pressure, and how peers and staff react. In this population, sexual aggression is shown to be racially-based: most aggressors were black, and most victims were white, of a slighter build than the aggressor, and perceived as having feminine physical and personality characteristics. About half of the 152 incidents examined involved physical violence, half initiated by aggressors coercing targets; the rest from targets reacting to threats. Both aggressors and targets tended to come from outside and prison social subcultures which used aggression as a primary means of relieving frustration and irritation. After fights, targets reported that aggressors left them alone, that they moved around the prison with less fear, felt better about themselves, and had a higher status among other prisoners. Sexual attacks increased fear, and victims continued to be affected emotionally months after the event. Prison staff did not usually intervene directly in the incidents, nor is there evidence that such intervention would be effective in reducing the problem. The author recommends the provision of program alternatives such as the Alternatives to Violence (AVP) and other conflict resolutions programs. (NCJRS, modified).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a range of research and media sources to provide an international perspective on the topic of prison violence, this book focuses on the impact of such violence on the individual both while he or she is incarcerated and upon his or her release from prison, as well as on society as a whole. With a special emphasis on comparisons of violence among incarcerated populations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, Prison Violence: Causes, Consequences and Solutions explores the various systems that exist to combat the problem, whilst also considering public perceptions of offenders and punishment, as influenced by media and coverage of high-profile cases. Providing a comprehensive analysis of prison violence on national and international levels, this book examines the extent of the problem, theoretical understandings of the issue and concrete solutions designed to prevent and handle such violence. As such, it will be of interest to policy makers as well as scholars of sociology, criminology and penology.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commission found : 1. That protecting inmates from sexual abuse continues to be a challenge, in that men, women, and children are being raped or sexually abused by other inmates and corrections staff -- 2. That leadership is critical in creating a culture within facilities that promotes safety rather than tolerates sexual abuse -- 3. That certain individuals are more at risk for sexual abuse than others. Corrections administrators must routinely identify these persons at risk and protect them without isolating them or denying them access to rehabilitative programming -- 4. That correctional facilities generally lack the kind of rigorous internal monitoring and external oversight needed to determine why sexual abuse occurs in the facility and how to prevent it -- 5. That reporting procedures must be improved to provide protection from retaliation without isolating the reporter. Other findings are that victims are unlikely to receive the treatment and support needed to minimize the trauma of abuse; confined juveniles are more likely than adult inmates to be sexually abused, particularly when confined with adults; offenders under correctional supervision in the community are also at risk of sexual abuse, which jeopardizes their successful reentry; and detained immigrants are at heightened risk for sexual abuse.

Download or read book Special Needs Offenders in Correctional Institutions written by Lior Gideon and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective treatment and preparation for successful reintegration can be better achieved if the needs and risks of incarcerated offenders are taken into consideration by correctional practitioners and scholars. Special Needs Offenders in Correctional Institutions offers a unique opportunity to examine the different populations behind bars (e.g. chronically and mentally ill, homosexual, illegal immigrants, veterans, radicalized inmates, etc.), as well as their needs and the corresponding impediments for rehabilitation and reintegration. Author Lior Gideon takes a rehabilitative and reiterative approach to discuss and differentiate between the needs of these various categories of inmates, and provides in depth discussions-not available in other correctional texts-about the specific needs, risks and policy recommendations when working with present-day special needs offenders. Each chapter is followed by suggested readings and relevant websites that will enable readers to further enhance understanding of the issues and potential solutions discussed in the chapter. Further, each chapter has discussion questions specifically designed to promote class discussions. The text concludes with a theoretical framework for future policy implications and practices.
