Do you get raped in County Jail, or does the threat only exist in prison?

Prison rape is real but it's not pervasive in every facility.

Prison rape is real but it's not pervasive in every facility. Rape can happen to an inmate in a 24-hour DUI holding cell or in a maximum security prison. Surroundings and circumstances are different but the outcome of rape could happen in any one of the fifteen-thousand plus detention facilities in this country.
