Re: Sexual offenses in prison: Most offenders Female, most victims Male | |
sexual relations of any kind between prison employees and inmates are considered nonconsensual by law because of the inherent power that staff have over prisoners.
That said we must reverse the genders in our head. If females were the victims we see ugly bad prison guards exploiting poor female prisoners. When we think of such a relationship we think about rape. But the other way arround there are those cute little female guards faling in love with those brutal prisoners. They must be lucky at least they get sex.
This is a stupid bias. There is a reason the state considers this as nonconsensual (rape) because of the sheer amount of power a prison guard has (Oh look what I found in inmates #4711 cell. +3 years). The offenders can even monitor him 24/7.
I also believe that inmate on inmate rape is the far bigger problem. I just wanted to mention this because this is violence that gets overseen. Especially when the offenders are female and the victims are male.
