Last week, the DOJ released a report about sexual violence in a NJ women’s prison, concluding that the inmates' risk of sexual harm was so high that it violated their Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment.
chalk up the increased rates to an improved confidence in prisoners that their reports would be taken seriously. That is, the incidence rates aren’t increasing but reporting and detection rates are.
Aside from the stories that surface in litigation and targeted Department of Justice investigations, we have no idea if sexual violence is affecting women more than men. When it was released in 2018, none of the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ data on the implementation of PREA standards was broken down by gender. That breakdown was due one year later, last summer, but a miscalculation by one state required a recalculation of the entire data set. To date,to release the recalculation.
