    The rape elimination act ended most of that? Conservatively, between 1986 & 2006, as many as 1M inmates were documented to have been sexually assaulted.

    I think you’re projecting a bit on how you’d like to imagine prisons operate.

    PREA is mostly an information gathering mechanism.

      I’m not projecting anything. By law inmates cannot consent to sex so any sexual encounter is considered rape. This includes encounters between inmates and guards. Forced sexual encountered between inmates is not common anymore.

      Also I do not have any experience with higher level federal facilities like Mediums or High security but I assume they are more vigilant.
