- Description
- This exploratory study examined dimensions of staff-inmate sexual contact in a correctional facility in Hawaii through two focus group interviews with imprisoned women. The women described three types of sexual abuse in prison: 'trading,' 'love,' and 'in the line of duty.' Findings include the women's account of these forms of abuse and their perceptions of responsibility for staff-inmate sexual contact in correctional institutions. The women's beliefs about factors contributing to sexual abuse of female inmates, including job expectations of and power issues among adult correctional officers (ACO's), and the consequences of reporting abuse are also discussed. Given the vulnerability of female inmates and the power dynamics that typify the prison context, further research on this problem is warranted.

- Description
- Zijn 'boot camps' even geschikt voor vrouwelijke als voor mannelijke justitiabelen? De auteurs onderzochten een aantal gemengde 'boot camps' en een aantal alleen voor vrouwen. Met name vrouwen met ervaringen van sexueel misbruik en sterke afhankelijkheidsproblemen in het verleden, bleken in een gemengde setting onder fysieke en psychische uitputting gebukt te gaan.
