Are there a lot of sexual assaults in prison?

✓ Verified answer

Sexual assault in prison is a documented reality but less prevalent than popular culture suggests. The Prison Rape Elimination Act requires facilities to maintain prevention and reporting protocols. Research indicates staff-on-inmate abuse is statistically more common than inmate-on-inmate assault.
