Sexual Assaults in Jail

mysteriew · Aug 17, 2005

It happens in county jails and it happens in big prisons. It happened more than 8,000 times in 2004. Roughly one in five sexual assaults happened in local juvenile lock-ups. More than four out of every 10 assaults reported in 2004 involved prison workers assaulting inmates. People go to jail to await trial. They go to prison to serve sentences, but their sentence should not include being raped.

LOL, I understand.
Still this quote bothered me:

Rates of substantiated incidents were highest in state-operated juvenile facilities (5.2 substantiated incidents per 1,000 youths) as well as in local and private juvenile facilities (5.0 per 1,000 youth). These rates were nearly 10 times higher than those reported in state prisons (0.5 per 1,000 inmates) and eight times those in local jails (0.6 per 1,000).
