Incidents of sexual assault and misconduct within prisons are not uncommon. Inmates may exploit power imbalances, especially when one has authority or control over another.
Furthermore, inmates share close quarters, and privacy is limited. This lack of personal space can escalate tensions and create opportunities for unwanted advances.
