Most often the victim who reports a rape is again victomized by officials who write this inmate victom a disciplinary report of propaganda; officials do this in order to avoid law suits resulting from the rapes.

ER., Iowa, 9/9/96


I've seen inmates attacked by two or three men at a time and forced to the floor, while two or three hold him down, the fourth man slaps vaseline on his rectum and rapes him. I know two men who hung themselves after this.

The DOC covers their actions under the guise of secrity and the state court wears blinders.-----------------
J.G., Florida, 9/9/96



I didn't want to tell on the inmates who raped me because I didn't want to be killed. If I had told on the inmates, They would have gotton me in aother part of the Prison. Even Protective Custody Facility.

R.H., Utah, 9/10/96


It's either rape or be raped and the racial tension doesn't help any.

W.M., Texas, 9/13/96



It's fixed where if you're raped, the only way you [can escape being a puk is if] you rape someone else. Yes I know that's fully screwed, but that's how your head is twisted. After it's over you may be disgusted with yourself, but you realize you're not powerless and that you can deliver as well as you receive pain. Then it's up to you to decide whether you enjoy it or not. Most do, I don't. It's sick and depraved. It's also depressing when one of the boy's (another name for turn out), come up to you for protection because they know you wo't hurt them as much because you've been though it & they don't have the nuts o break out themselves even when you tell them how.

W.M. Texas, 9/13/96



What is needed in prison is one man cells, one man showers and for the official to prosecute attackers instead of just locking htem up in the hole.
-----------------
L.L., Ohio 9/14/96



Prison rapes occur for a number of reasons. One such reason is the insecure, weak inmate preying on another weaker inmate, to make an impression of toughness or ruthlessness that he hopes will discourage other inmates from doing the same thing to him....The main reason why sexual assults occur is because prison officials and staff promote them. It's their method of sacrificig the weak inmates to achieve and maintain control of the stronger aggressive or violent inmates.
----------------
W.F., Missouri, 9/21/96



I was too embarrassed to tell the [corrections officers] what had happened [that I had been raped]...The government acts as if a "man" is supposed to come right out and bodly say "I've been raped." You know that if it is degrading for a woman, how much more for a man.
---------------
R.B. Kansas, 9/28/96



Prison officials seem to prefer the "slap on the wrist" in-house disciplinary approach over referring criminal charges against the perpetrators [of rape]. When pressed, they generally claim that this practice is to "protect the victim" (from an ugly court scene), but I believe it's to protect the prison from having to admit the problem exists.
-------------------
M.S., Nevada, 9/28/96



I know you don't want to hear this but it is the prison officials, jail officials that causes men to be fucked in prison....[P]rison officials approve of men getting fucked in prison and to attack it at the prisoners level, you are fighting a losing battle, start with the prison officials, people in authority, they are the one that causes people to get fucked against their will.

C.D., Indiana, 10/8/96


At least 90% of assaults are not even reported to staff. Occasionally the victim is a person who could fight off one inmate but there is a bet between groups or gangs to make him a "bitch," and the bettor will get a few of his home boys and go assult him.

R.B., Texas, 10/13/96



Texas does not pay inmates. Some inmates sell there bodies just for basicss like toothpaste, soap, shampoo, tooth brush, deoderant, things other take for granted.
-----------
R.B., Texas, 10/13/96



On the younger units I would say you have a rape at least weekly. From the people I have known in y 10 year I would say about 50% have been forced to hook up with someone not necessarily for protection but due to survival having necessitiess or attention.
-----------
R.B., Texas, 10/13/96



The guards just turn their backs. Their mentality is the tougher, colder, and more cruel and inhuman a place is, the less chance a person will return. This is not true. The more negative experiences a person goes through, the more he turns into a violent, cruel, mean, heartless individual, I know this to be a fact.

R.L., New York, 10/21/96



When I came out of prison, I remember thinking that others knew I had been raped just by looking at me. My behavior changed to such a cold heartedness that I resented anyone who found reason to smile, to luagh, and to be happy.
_______________
B.E., Bermont, 10/26/96 (he later committed rape himself)



From my point of view, rape takes place every day. A prisoner that is engaging in sexual acts, not by force, is still a victim of rape because I know that deep inside this prisoner do not want to do the thigs that he is doing but he thinks that it is the only way that he can survive.

V.H., Arkansas, 11/17/96



It is my observation that the most likely to be raped is the young kid new to prison who is not hip to the components of this ugly machine. The kid who just comes to prison, who is not willing to fight back is the unfortunate victim of rape...A lot of times when a kid is raped he is told not to "snitch" or "else." The young rape victim is brainwashed to believe that by telling he is breaking the "code of the convict", and by doing so is doing something bad. Then he is brainwashed-exploited-turned out. He becomes a punk, a boy, someones property, and becomes just another silent victim. This cycle must be broken. Rather the kid tells, or arms himself with 10 inches of steel and thruts it into the eye of his attacker-something must be done because I don't see it changing or getting any better.

J.O., Utah 2/18/97




[B]ased on my experience the most common kind of rape in prisons today is the confidence rape which involve the rapist getting the confidence of the victim and then at some point turning on him and raping him. In my opinion the next in frequency would be the date rape where one inmate convinces another to double cell with him and then t some point rapes him. The next would be extortion rape followed by drugging rape and finally strong arm rape. The reason strong arm rape is the least frequent is becasue it is so much easeier to rape an inmate using the other techniques. None of the types of prison rape described are rare. If anything they are rarely reported. Rape really is a big problem in prison today. To give you an idea of how frequent rape is in prison, if victims would report every time they were raped in prison I would say that in the prison that I am in (whihc is a medium security prison) there would be a reported incident every day.
