The Myth of Prison Rape : Sexual Culture in American Prisons Paperback / softback
by Mark S. Fleisher, Jessie L. Krienert
Paperback / softback
Description
The Myth of Prison Rape provides a nuanced glimpse into the complex sexual dynamics of American prison.
Drawing on results from the most comprehensive study of inmate sexuality to date, Mark S.
Fleisher and Jessie L. Krienert analyze the intricacies of sexuality and sexual violence in daily inmate life. Pulled from over 500 interviews from male and female high-security inmates, their research assesses inmate perception, belief, opinion, and explanation of their own behavior as it relates directly and indirectly to sexual life and sexual violence.
Dynamic case studies and interview excerpts enliven this cultural study of sexuality, safety, and violence in American prisons, and an appendix introduces readers to prison sexual vocabulary.
