Are there many sexual assaults and murders in prisons, like in the tv show Prison Break?

Murders I don't know, but the surprising figure to me is there's actually only a 10% chance of getting raped in prison. The way movies present it, your all but assured.

Not even close. The majority of **convicted** sex offenders are male. But many studies show that female sex offenders may make up as much as one-third of the total population. It's just harder to convict them because there's often less evidence of the crime.

In Antigua it was widely held that for females the act was let to happen solely for reproductive reasons and no feelings.  Then came Masters and Johnson and they concluded feeling and stuff transpired for both the male and the female, and aside from that I do not know.  Seems their are nerve ending which have sensation interpretations both ways.  Females in prison are forbidden whole bananas, hot dogs and the like.  One female climbed down through an air vent for spending time with two males in the cell below, what's that say?

Just you asking that could nail you but good.\n\nAttempted assault in most places is good for 60 days to a year in prison.\n\nAttempted murder will get you 5-10 years in the State pen.\n\nI suggest you find some self control and an education before you get a permanent hotel room with bars and a new boyfriend.

As a former correctional officer of 7 yrs, I can tell you that each prison is different. Prisons vary from state to state. Then you have private corporations such as GEO Groups and CCA (for example) that also run prison systems.\n\nIs it as bad as you have heard? Well, that also depends on what you have heard. Prison is not a play date in the park, nor was it meant to be. Prisons should not be an enjoyable place. Prisons should be a deterrent not to commit crimes, and teach new skills to the one(s) incarcerated.

Good god.   I have never seen so many "probably," "maybe," or "most likely" answers in one place in awhile.\n\nMy husband has been in federal prison for 26 years so please allow me to shed some authenticity on the subject.    The convictions on specific crimes do determine where they start out, such as a U.S. Penitentiary, like Leavenworth.  \n\nBut over time, some can wind up at a Medium or a Minimum.   IF they live long enough, they can be released to a camp before going home.    Camp is still a controlled environment.\n\nYou were not give accurate descriptions at all of the various levels, including the Wikipedia response.   \n\nMy husband was convicted on less than four ounces of cocaine, and got 41 years, thanks to RICO back in the 80's.  Due to his age and health, he  is currently at a Minimum.   He has been in prisons in Kansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Florida.   Go figure.   He is currently 700 miles away from any family, one way.   He is 65 years old, with health problems, and has been thoroughly screwed over by the parole board (long story).    We have been trying to get THAT straightened out for four years now.   \n\nMinimums are not Cupcake Facilities.   Minimums are enclosed by razor wire, they are patrolled internally and externally, and the guys are told when to get up, when to eat, when they can go outside, when they have to come inside, when they have to go to bed.    Visitors have to be on a list, and go through metal detectors, and at least three interior doors to get to the visiting room. \n\nThere is one doctor for the 2000 men at his facility.   I knew a young man that got gangraped and died from his injuries there, and an elderly diabetic who died in his wheelchair outside the med unit waiting for help.    Miniums are no picnic.   \n\nUnlike TV shows (I Hate Prison Break!), the guys do not discuss their crimes.    Child molesters keep their mouths shut, and gangsta wannabees brag to enhance their reputation.   You can't believe anything the inmates tell you, period, so no one really knows what anyone is in there for, unless it makes the news.   \n\n If you check out my husband's web site, you will see that he was not a white-collar criminal, as someone else stated.  There are white-collar criminals there, like income tax evasion or embezzling, but I would guestimate that 90% of the inmates in federal prison are there on drug-related charges (thanks to our politicians and their "get tough on crime" mandatory minimums  - 5 years for one joint).  \n\nThere are a lot of men and women who have no business in prison, but the power to decide cases on individual points has been taken away from judges, by the politicians and their laws.    Those laws always impress voters, until someone in their family gets in trouble.   Then they find out that once those doors slam, that's it.   The kid who died after being gang-raped was only in there for a three-year drug sentence, not a death sentence.   I met his parents and they will never get over it.\n\nThere are Cupcake prisons, for Martha and the politicians, but regular folks will never see one of those.  \n\nFor the most part, the documentaries you see on PBS are more accurate about current prison life, in any of the prisons.   Prison is hell on earth, with camp being Purgatory.   They are not intended to rehab, but are warehouses, to keep the "bad" people away from the "good" people.    \n\nHope this gives you more accurate info.

I saw a case on Law and Order:SVU where 3 women raped a male stripper after a bachelorette party.  Other than that, I'm sure it's happened.  Men are less likely to report it though, so you don't hear about it that often.

I quite like the one where there is a couple "parking" and they hear the news that a murderous psychopath, who has a hook for a hand, has broken out of a local prison. \nShe keeps saying that she doesn't feel too good about this, and eventually her boyfriend gets frustrated that he isn't getting any, so he drives off in an angry hurry. When they get back to her house, he gets out and walks around to let her out of the car, when he finds a hook, hooked on the handle of the passenger door.

Maybe you should be asking  Adrian Lamo, or Kevin Mitnick.\n\nI'm sure that they'd love to share their prison experiences with you, too.

I've read that it's a style that did originate in prisons, with the low pant. But nothing to do with sex, just that belts are taken away in prison. The "prison issue" green or orange pants only come in so many sizes, not tailored, and you take what you're given. So if they fall down, they fall down. The article I read said that the style was made popular by rap music artists. It's believable. \n\n By the way, whoever said homosexuality not allowed in prisons didn't watch the documentary "Down Low" on BET a couple wks ago. The stories told about rape occurring right in front of guards who turn their heads was sickening. The show pointed out the higher incidence of HIV in the black populations, citing one reason being the amount of unprotected gay sex (rape, most often) in prisons. The writers were urging young black men to be open with their wives and gf's, when released, about what happened, and have protected sex with them. \n\n I hope this isn't viewed as me stereotyping, I don't mean to. I am reporting what information was provided on the show, and the purpose of the show was to get the info out.  They are wanting to warn black women whose partners may have been incarcerated, so that they use condoms. Evidently rape of young men in prisons is much higher than the public realizes.

I don't think there is a good answer to this. But, we know from forensic and psychological research that serial sex offenders sometimes escalate to becoming serial killers. This seems particularly true for sex offenders who have a history of sexually violent acts or become aroused by violence. There is a theory that these offenders do not initially intend to kill their victims but as their violent behaviors escalate, they accidently kill a victim. The rush of this unexpected outcome reinforces a deranged desire to repeat this same behavior. It becomes a fetish of sorts. Very disturbing stuff.

In Ohio, the calls are recorded by the prison, but they warn you of that before each call. I would assume its the same elsewhere. you can't have prisoners calling their criminal friends, putting out hits on people and such
