There are about:
2,299,116 prisoners in jail+state+federal at any given time.
Of sampled inmates 60,500 reported sexual victimization. 4.5%
To compare prison rape with FBI crime stats for 2007 we get 2.98% of the population raped. Only 1 out of 6 rapes are reported so that number is more likely to be 17.92% or 18%...
So from this you can conclude that there is actually more rape outside of prisons... The crappy part is that outside of a prison, as a male, you are 98% less likely to become a statistic.
But still... Of the 4.5% of prisoners that get raped, a large portion of them got raped because they were either an easy target or it was retribution for doing something really stupid to someone you shouldn't have fucked with from the beginning.
