> it's sort of common knowledge that you'll be sexually assaulted in prison While a blasé attitude toward such abuse is certainly reprehensible, I don't think there's any support for the magnitude you describe. Even the most dramatic statistics imply that prisoners are far more likely to not be assaulted. Official numbers are like 2-5%, activist numbers are in the 20% range. Anything greater than 0% is horrifying of course. Although FWIW I also checked official and activist numbers for non-incarcerated males and females in the US, and it's actually very similar. (Never been in prison, never been a victim, never been a perpetrator, not in law enforcement, not an activist, don't know what I'm talking about, but wish the problem could be understood honestly and eliminated completely.)
