Really?? Do you think prison is a dating service? There is zero contact with female inmates by male inmates. Unless they are in a building with windows facing the interior, where they might catch a glimpse of a female inmate, there is no interaction. Inmates do not have access to the internet; there is no inter-communication between inmates online - if they use email (some places have it), it is a closed system with a very strict analytical keyword surveillance.
