Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003

Sexual Violence Reported
by Correctional Authorities, 2004
By Allen J. Beck, Ph.D.
and Timothy A. Hughes
BJS Statisticians
On September 4, 2003, President
George W. Bush signed into law the
Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003
(P.L. 108-79). The legislation requires
the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
to develop new national data collections on the incidence and prevalence
of sexual violence within correctional
facilities. This report fulfills the requirement under Sec. 4 (c)(1) of the act for
submission of an annual report on the
activities of the Bureau with respect
to prison rape.
As an initial step in a multiphase implementation strategy, BJS completed the
first-ever national survey of administrative records on sexual violence in adult
and juvenile correctional facilities.
Although data are limited to incidents
reported to correctional authorities
during 2004, the survey provides an
understanding of how administrators
respond to sexual violence. The survey
also collects basic counts of substantiated incidents, characteristics of
victims and perpetrators, and sanctions
imposed.
Survey results should not be used to
rank systems or facilities. Future data
collections, including victim reports of
sexual violence in surveys of current
and former inmates, are being developed to permit reliable comparisons.

Highlights

Definitions of staff sexual misconduct and staff sexual harassment were based
on “Training for Investigators of Staff Sexual Misconduct,” prepared by the
National Institute of Corrections.

Staff sexual misconduct
Any behavior or act of a sexual nature directed toward an inmate by an
employee, volunteer, official visitor, or agency representative. Romantic
relationships between staff and inmates are included. Consensual or
nonconsensual sexual acts include:
• Intentional touching of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh,
or buttocks with the intent to abuse, arouse, or gratify sexual desire; or
• Completed, attempted, threatened, or requested sexual acts; or
• Occurrences of indecent exposure, invasion of privacy, or staff voyeurism
for sexual gratification.

Staff sexual harassment
Repeated verbal statements or comments of a sexual nature to an inmate
by employee, volunteer, official visitor, or agency representative, including:
• Demeaning references to gender or derogatory comments about body
or clothing; or
• Profane or obscene language or gestures.

serious forms of sexual violence
After consulting with experts in sexual
victimization, prison rape researchers,
and corrections administrators, BJS
developed uniform definitions of sexual
violence. (See box on page 3.)
Incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual
violence were classified as nonconsensual sexual acts and abusive sexual
contacts. Incidents of staff-on-inmate
sexual violence were separated into
staff sexual misconduct and staff
sexual harassment. Incidents varied in
seriousness, ranging from the least
serious, harassment, to the most
serious, rape. For purposes of this
report, all such incidents are considered sexual violence.
The most serious forms of sexual
violence (inmate-on-inmate nonconsensual sexual acts and staff sexual
misconduct) were the most widely
reported using survey definitions and
reporting rules (table 2).
Correctional authorities in two-thirds of
prison systems and more than threequarters of sampled jails were able to
report incidents of nonconsensual acts
as defined in the survey. Fewer were
able to report data fully on abusive
sexual contacts, with 25% of prison
systems and 14% of jails including the
lesser forms of sexual violence among
counts of nonconsensual sexual acts.
Compared to prison and jail authorities,
juvenile authorities had a greater
capacity to adopt the survey’s uniform
definitions and reporting rules for
youth-on-youth sexual violence. More
than 80% of authorities responsible for
local and privately operated juvenile
facilities were able to report data using
the categories provided.
Most prison administrators (35) were
able to report data on staff sexual
misconduct using survey definitions;
9 were unable to separate sexual
harassment from misconduct; 3 could
report data on some but not all of the
occurrences during the year; 4 could
4

Fewer prison administrators were able
to report comparable data on staff
sexual harassment. Among prison
administrators, 9 were unable to
separate harassment from other forms
of staff sexual misconduct, and 13 did
not have any data on staff sexual
harassment.
Variations in the reporting capacities of
State juvenile systems and local or
private juvenile facilities were similar.
Some administrators of State systems
were unable to separate staff sexual
misconduct from sexual harassment
(6) or unable to report any data on
sexual harassment (4). Operators of
local and private juvenile facilities,
which typically house small numbers
of youth, had the greatest capacity to
report data using survey definitions.
Nearly 90% of these facilities reported
data on staff misconduct and
harassment.

Caution needed when interpreting
the 2004 survey results
In completing the 2004 survey, correctional administrators frequently
expressed concern about the absence
of uniform definitions and differential
reporting capabilities. Many indicated a
commitment to improving their
offender-based information systems
and grievance tracking systems to
conform to future survey requirements.
During 2005 BJS expects to work with
administrators to improve reporting,
especially those with systems too large
for manual searches of paper files.
The absence of uniform reporting and
tracking procedures necessitates
caution when interpreting the 2004
survey results. The data should not be
used to rank systems or facilities.
Higher or lower counts may reflect
variations in definitions, reporting
capacities, and procedures for recording allegations and not differences in
the underlying incidence of sexual
violence.

Reports of sexual violence varied
across systems and sampled facilities,
with every State prison system except
New Hampshire reporting at least one
allegation of sexual violence. Among
the 404 sampled local jails, 166 (41%)
reported an allegation. Among Stateoperated juvenile systems, 46 reported
at least one allegation. (Iowa, Montana,
South Dakota, and Wyoming were the
exceptions.) About a third of sampled
local and privately operated juvenile
facilities (96) reported at least one
allegation.
Combined, the 2004 survey recorded
5,528 allegations of sexual violence.
Taking into account weights for
sampled facilities, the estimated total
number of allegations for the Nation
was 8,210. Prison systems reported
42% of all allegations; local or private

Juvenile facilities reported the
highest rates of alleged sexual
violence
State-operated juvenile facilities, often
required by law to record all allegations
and report them to State and local law
enforcement authorities and child
protective services, had the highest
rates of alleged staff sexual misconduct (11.34 allegations per 1,000
youth). Local and privately operated
juvenile facilities reported 3.22 allegations of staff sexual misconduct per
1,000 youth, nearly 3 times the rate in
State prison systems (1.12 per 1,000
inmates) and Federal prisons (1.33).

a
Among sampled facilities, totals were
estimated based on the reported number of
allegations times the inverse of the probability
of selection, and then summed.
b
Includes jails in Indian country and facilities
operated by ICE and the U.S. military.

Nearly 42% of the reported allegations
of sexual violence involved staff sexual
misconduct, 37% involved inmate-oninmate nonconsensual sexual acts;
11% staff sexual harassment; and 10%
inmate-on-inmate abusive sexual
contact.

Because many States have laws specifying that all sexual acts involving youth
below certain ages are nonconsensual,
rates of alleged nonconsensual sexual
acts were high in juvenile correctional
facilities. In 2004 there were an
estimated 7.31 allegations of youth-onyouth nonconsensual sexual acts per
1,000 youth in local or private juvenile
facilities and 6.75 allegations per 1,000
in State juvenile facilities. These rates
were more than 6 times the inmate-oninmate rate in State prison systems
(1.05 per 1,000) and nearly 7 times the
rate in local jails (.97 per 1,000). Only
jails in Indian country had a higher rate
(10.48); but, due to the small number
of reported allegations, the rate is
unstable. (See Methodology, page 10.)

Expressed in terms of rates, there
were 3.15 allegations of sexual
violence per 1,000 inmates held in
2004 (table 3). Rates of staff sexual
misconduct were the highest with 1.31
allegations per 1,000 inmates, followed
by inmate-on-inmate nonconsensual
sexual acts, (1.16 allegations per
1,000). Rates of alleged abusive
sexual contacts (0.33) and staff sexual
harassment (0.36) were the lowest.

External authorities often involved
in investigating allegations
Allegations involving youth in State,
local or private facilities are typically
investigated by external authorities,
such as the State police, sheriff’s
department/local police, office of
inspector general, division of social
services, child protective services, and
other agencies serving youth. Nearly

80% of local/private juvenile agencies
and 64% of State juvenile systems
indicated that external authorities had
sole or shared responsibility for investigating allegations of youth-on-youth
sexual violence (table 4). In contrast, in
21 of the 51 prison systems (41%) and
195 of 404 sampled jails (48%) external authorities had a responsibility for
investigating allegations of inmate-oninmate sexual violence.

Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2004

In State prisons fewer than 20% of
allegations of nonconsensual sexual
acts were substantiated
Allegations reported in 2004 were
classified as:
y substantiated, if they were determined to have occurred
y unsubstantiated, if the evidence was
insufficient to make a final determination that they occurred
y unfounded, if they were determined
not to have occurred
y investigation ongoing, if a final determination had not been made at time
of data collection.

Includes the District of Columbia and all States, except Arkansas.
Excludes 20 sampled facilities that were out-scope (not covered under the act).

State prisons
Number Percenta

Responsibility for investigating allegations of staff sexual misconduct was
left to the prison authorities in 22
systems (43%), jail authorities in 166
local jails (41%), State juvenile authorities in 14 State systems (28%), and
local/private juvenile authorities in 69
facilities (26%). In other systems and
facilities, allegations were either
referred to external authorities or were
jointly investigated.

Overall, inmate-on-inmate allegations
of sexual violence were less likely to be
substantiated than allegations of staff
sexual misconduct. Based on allegations in State prisons for which investigations had been completed, 18% of
nonconsensual sexual acts were
substantiated, compared to 30% of
allegations of staff sexual misconduct
(table 5). In jails 27% of completed
investigations of nonconsensual sexual
acts were substantiated, compared to
46% of the allegations of staff sexual
misconduct.
The most common outcome of investigations of sexual violence was a determination of lack of evidence. Nearly
55% of allegations of staff sexual
misconduct in prison and 45% of
allegations of inmate-on-inmate
nonconsensual sexual acts were
unsubstantiated. More than a third
(37%) of completed investigations of
nonconsensual sexual acts in State
prison and 29% in local jails were
determined to be unfounded.

In juvenile facilities a third of the
alleged nonconsensual sexual acts
were substantiated
Based on allegations in State-operated
juvenile facilities for which investigations had been completed, 33% of
youth-on-youth nonconsensual sexual
acts were substantiated, compared to
15% of allegations of staff sexual
misconduct (table 6). In local or private
juvenile facilities, 33% of completed
investigations of nonconsensual sexual
acts were substantiated, compared to
17% of the allegations of staff sexual
misconduct.
About half of all allegations of nonconsensual sexual acts were determined
to be unsubstantiated: 53% in State
juvenile facilities; 49% in local/private
facilities. More than a third of alleged
incidents of staff sexual misconduct in
State juvenile facilities were determined to be unfounded (39%); nearly
30% in local/private facilities.
State juvenile authorities reported 212
substantiated incidents of sexual
violence, 24% of allegations for which
investigations had been completed.
Local and private juvenile authorities
reported 108 substantiated incidents,
31% of completed investigations. State
prison officials reported 611 substantiated incidents (24%); and jail administrators 210 (35% of completed
investigations). Federal prison authorities, reporting data only for staff sexual
misconduct and harassment, indicated
that 11 of the allegations had been
substantiated and another 6 disposed
of administratively through termination
or resignation. As a percentage of
completed investigations, 14% of
allegations were substantiated or
administratively resolved.

Rate per
Number 1,000 inmates

During 2004 correctional authorities
substantiated nearly 2,100 incidents
of sexual violence
The survey of administrative records
recorded 1,213 substantiated incidents
of sexual violence. Taking into account
sampling of local jails, private prisons
or jails, and local/private juvenile facilities, the estimated total for the Nation
was 2,090. Relative to the number of
inmates, there were 0.94 substantiated
incidents of sexual violence per 1,000
inmates reported in 2004.
The rates of substantiated incidents of
sexual violence were highest in juvenile
facilities. State juvenile administrators
reported 5.15 substantiated incidents
per 1,000 youth; local and private
administrators reported 4.97 per 1,000
youth. These victimization rates were
nearly 10 times those reported in State
prisons (0.52 substantiated incidents
per 1,000 inmates) and 8 times those
in local jails (0.63 per 1,000 inmates).

Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2004

Juvenile authorities reported that girls
comprised 17% of the victims of youthon-youth nonconsensual sexual acts in
State-operated facilities, 28% of the
victims in local/private facilities (table
8). Compared to their percentages
among youth held in juvenile facilities
nationwide, girls were over-represented
among victims. In the Census of
Juveniles in Residential Placement,
conducted by the Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention in
2001, girls accounted for 11% of the
youth in State facilities and 17% of the
youth in local and private facilities.
Female staff implicated in staff
sexual misconduct in prisons; male
staff in local jails
Characteristics of victims and perpetrators of staff sexual misconduct differed
among correctional systems and
facilities:
y In State prisons 69% of victims of
staff sexual misconduct were male,
while 67% of perpetrators were
female.
y In local jails 70% of victims were
female; 65% of perpetrators, male.
y In State-operated juvenile facilities,
69% of victims were male; 47% of
perpetrators, female.
y In local/privately operated juvenile
facilities, 63% of the victims and
64% of the perpetrators were male.
Perpetrators of staff sexual harassment, involving incidents of demeaning
references to gender, derogatory
comments about an inmate’s body, or
use of obscene language, were divided
between male (58%) and female (42%)
staff.
Overall, correctional authorities
reported data on 716 perpetrators of
staff sexual misconduct or staff sexual
harassment. Of these perpetrators,
50% were female staff.

Note: Data based on correctional systems and facilities that reported one or more
substantiated nonconsensual sexual act or abusive sexual contact involving inmates or youth.
*Detail sums to more than total, since systems or facilities may impose more than one sanction on perpetrators.

Most prisons and jails imposed
legal sanctions on perpetrators of
inmate-on-inmate sexual violence
To better understand how correctional
authorities respond to incidents of
sexual violence, the survey included
questions on sanctions imposed on
perpetrators. Authorities who had
reported at least one substantiated
inmate-on-inmate nonconsensual
sexual act or abusive sexual contact
were asked to report all of the
sanctions that had been imposed.
A legal sanction, including arrest, referral for prosecution, or new sentence,
was imposed on perpetrators in –
y 86% of the 36 prison systems
reporting a substantiated incident
y 76% of the 42 jail facilities
y 70% of the 27 State-operate
juvenile systems
y 50% of the 40 local/private
juvenile facilities (table 9).
A change in custody was also a
frequently reported sanction. Authorities in 89% of State prison systems
and 74% of local jails with a substantiated incident reported that perpetrators
were moved

to solitary confinement, changed to a
higher custody level, or transferred to
another facility as a result of sexual
violence. A change in custody was
imposed on perpetrators in 65% of the
local/private juvenile facilities and 70%
of State-operated juvenile systems.

authorities indicated that 55% of the
staff had been discharged, 36%
referred for prosecution, and 9% disciplined but not discharged. An additional
but unknown number of staff had
resigned before investigations had
been completed.

In addition, authorities with substantiated incidents during 2004 reported
use of other sanctions, including

State adult and juvenile systems
reported the largest numbers of staff
referred for prosecution. In State
prisons, 117 staff in substantiated
incidents of sexual misconduct had
been referred for prosecution (39%); in
State-operated juvenile systems 44
staff (41%). In local jails staff involved
in incidents of sexual misconduct were
less likely to have been referred for
prosecution (18%).

y loss of good time in 58% of State
prison systems and 44% of Stateoperated juvenile systems
y loss of privileges in 56% of State
prisons, 48% of local jails, 74% of
State juvenile systems; and 63% of
local/private juvenile facilities
y confinement to cell or quarters in
56% of State juvenile systems and
30% of local/private juvenile
facilities.
90% of perpetrators of staff sexual
misconduct discharged or referred
for prosecution
The survey collected data on 539 staff
implicated in 508 substantiated
incidents of staff sexual misconduct
during 2004 (table 10). Correctional

The most common sanction imposed
on staff involved in sexual harassment
of inmates was discipline but not
discharge or prosecution. During 2004,
129 staff were implicated in the 140
reported incidents of staff sexual
harassment. Of these staff, 60% were
disciplined; 36% discharged; and 4
referred for prosecution.

Methodology

The following samples were drawn:

Between January 1 and June 15, 2005,
BJS, with the Governments Division of
the U.S. Census Bureau as its collection agent, conducted the 2004 Survey
of Sexual Violence. The survey was the
first-ever survey of correctional
systems and facilities, designed to
measure the number of reported
incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual
violence and staff-on-inmate sexual
misconduct. Based on administrative
records, the 2004 survey was designed
to provide an understanding of what
corrections officials know, what information is recorded, how allegations
and substantiated incidents are
handled, where incidents occur and
how officials respond to allegations
brought to their attention. It was not
designed to rank systems or facilities.

1. The survey included all 50 State
adult prison systems and the Federal
Bureau of Prisons. Prison administrators were directed to report only on
incidents of sexual violence that
occurred within publicly operated adult
facilities.

Sampling design
The survey was based on 11 separate
samples, corresponding to the different
facilities covered under the act. Each
sample was designed in accordance
with the requirement that BJS draw a
random sample, or other scientifically
appropriate sample, of not less than 10
percent of all Federal, State, and
county prisons, and a representative
sample of municipal prisons.

10

2. A sample of 27 privately operated
prison facilities was drawn to represent
a 10% sample of the 264 private
prisons identified in the 2000 Census
of State and Federal Adult Correctional
Facilities. Facilities were sorted by
region and average daily population
and then sampled with probabilities
proportionate to size. Each sampled
facility was then weighted to provide a
national sum reflecting the total
average daily population of inmates
held in private prisons in the 12-month
period ending June 30, 2000.

Jurisdictions were sorted into 6 strata,
based on size, and then sampled
systematically, to provide a representative national sample. A total of 77 jurisdictions were sampled with certainty
(corresponding to the largest jurisdiction in each State plus 31 jurisdictions
selected due to their large size). An
additional 327 jurisdictions were
selected from 4 strata, with probabilities of selection proportionate to size.
Jail administrators were directed to
report on all publicly operated facilities
within their jurisdiction. Each facility
was then weighted to provide a
national estimate for inmates held in
local jails.

4. A sample of 5 privately operated jails
was also elected based on the data
reported in the 2003 Deaths in Custody
collection. Facilities were sorted by
region and size. The measure of size
was the number of inmates held on
December 31, 2002, plus the number
of new admissions in 2003. Facilities
3. Publicly operated jail facilities were
selected based on data reported in the were selected systematically using a
random start and a fixed sampling

This collection provided the most up-to- interval. Each facility was then

inmates corresponding to the number
sponding to the total number of
of inmates at risk to sexual violence in
inmates held on December 31, 2002,

plus the number admitted in 2003.

Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2004

5. The survey included all Stateoperated juvenile correctional facilities
in 49 States and the District of Columbia. (Arkansas was the only State that
did not operate a juvenile facility.)
Based on the 2003 Census of
Juveniles in Residential Placement
(CJRP), States operated a total of 510
juvenile correctional facilities.
6. A separate sample was drawn from
the 685 locally operated juvenile facilities identified in the 2003 Census. In
meeting the requirement under the act
to select a 10% sample, with at least
one facility in each State, the largest
locally-operated facility in each State
was selected (37). An additional 32
facilities were then sampled from
among the remaining facilities. Facilities were first sorted by region and
facility type (commitment and
non-commitment) and then ordered by
size (the number of youth with
assigned beds on the day of the
Census). Facilities were then selected
with probabilities proportionate to size.
7. A separate sample was drawn from
the 2,275 privately operated juvenile
facilities also identified in the 2003
Census. At total of 57 facilities were
selected with certainty, corresponding
to the largest facility in each State (51),
and 6 other large facilities. An
additional 171 facilities were selected
from the remaining 2,218 facilities by
forming 8 strata (based on region and
facility type). Within each stratum,
facilities were sorted by size (total
youth with assigned beds) and then
sampled with probabilities proportionate to size.
8. Three additional samples of other
correctional facilities were drawn to
represent a) jails in Indian country (10
selected from a total 70 based on
probabilities proportionate to size); b)
military-operated facilities (all of the 59
facilities operated the Armed Services
in the continental U.S.); and c) 14 facilities operated by the Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(excluding contract facilities holding
inmates exclusively for ICE).

Comparing systems and facilities
Data for each correctional system and
sampled facility are displayed in the
Appendix tables. (See pages 13 to 39.)
In each table a measure of population
size has been provided as a basis of
comparison. These measures include:
y Custody population on June 30,
2004, for State and Federal prison
systems (the most recent counts from
the National Prisoners Statistics data
series);
y Average daily population during
2004, for local jails, private jails and
prisons, and other adult correctional
facilities (collected specially for the
survey);
y Number of youth held on December 31, 2004, for State juvenile
systems and local or private juvenile
facilities (collected specially for the
survey).
These population counts still mask
underlying differences in systems and
facilities related to the total number of
inmates or youth who were at risk to
sexual victimization during 2004. Such
differences result from variations in
length of stay, and further complicate
drawing reliable comparisons of
systems and facilities.
The 2004 survey results should not be
used to rank systems or facilities.

criteria, as well as variations in procedures for recording allegations and in
the thoroughness of subsequent investigations. Nevertheless, the 2004
survey provides an understanding of
what officials know and how they
respond to incidents brought to their
attention.
Future data collections, based on
victim reports of sexual violence in
surveys of current and former inmates,
are being developed to permit reliable
comparisons that overcome the limitations of administrative records.
