| Subject: 'Thank the statists': Thousands raped & sexually abused in British prisons – report Wed Feb 11, 2015 3:49 am | |
| Thousands of prisoners may have been raped or sexually abused in UK prisons, with much abuse being hidden or underreported, a report from the independent Commission on Sex in Prison has revealed. The report, completed for the commission by the Howard League for Penal Reform, showed that 1 percent of prisoners had been raped and 5.3 percent were victims of coerced sex. Extrapolating from prison population and reception figures, this means that between 850 and 1,650 prisoners could be victims of sexual assault while in prison. They further found that levels of rape and assault in prisons have been on the rise and in 2013 were at their highest level since 2005. The report on behalf of the Commission on Sex in Prison – made up of academics, former prison governors and health professionals – is thought to be the first major review of the issue in England and Wales.
