Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

Highlights
Prevalence of sexual victimization

 In 2011-12, an estimated 4.0% of state and federal prison
inmates and 3.2% of jail inmates reported experiencing
one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another
inmate or facility staff in the past 12 months or since
admission to the facility, if less than 12 months.

 Using the same methodology since 2007, the rate of sexual
victimization among state and federal prison inmates was
4.5% in 2007 and 4.0% in 2011-12; but, the difference was
not statistically significant. Among jail inmates, the rate of
sexual victimization remained unchanged—3.2% in 2007
and 3.2% in 2011-12.

 Among state and federal prison inmates, 2.0% (or

an estimated 29,300 prisoners) reported an incident
involving another inmate, 2.4% (34,100) reported an
incident involving facility staff, and 0.4% (5,500) reported
both an incident by another inmate and staff.

 About 1.6% of jail inmates (11,900) reported an incident

with another inmate, 1.8% (13,200) reported an incident
with staff, and 0.2% (2,400) reported both an incident by
another inmate and staff.

 From 2007 to 2011-12, reports of “willing” sexual activity
with staff (excluding touching) declined in prisons and
jails, while reports of other types of sexual victimization
remained stable.

Facility rankings

 Eleven male prisons, 1 female prison, and 9 jails were

identified as high-rate facilities based on the prevalence
of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization in 2011-12.
Eight male prisons, 4 female prisons, and 12 jails were
identified as high rate based on the prevalence of staff
sexual misconduct. Each of these facilities had a lower
bound of the 95%-confidence interval that was at least
55% higher than the average rate among comparable
facilities.

 Seven male prisons, 6 female prisons, and 4 jails

were identified as low-rate facilities based on a small
percentage of inmates reporting any sexual victimization
by another inmate or staff and a low upper bound of the
95%-confidence interval around the rate.

 Among the 225 prisons and 358 jails in the survey,

13 prisons and 34 jails had no reported incidents of
sexual victimization.

 Two military facilities and one Indian country jail had
high rates of staff sexual misconduct in 2011-12. The

Northwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility (Fort
Lewis, Washington) (6.6%) and the Naval Consolidated
Brig (Miramar, California) (4.9%) had high rates of staff
sexual misconduct that were more than double the
average of prisons (2.4%) and jails (1.8%) nationwide.
The Oglala Sioux Tribal Offenders Facility (Pine Ridge,
South Dakota) (10.8%) reported the highest rate of staff
sexual misconduct among all tribal and nontribal jails in
the survey.
Variations in victimization rates

 Patterns of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization in

2011-12 were consistent with patterns in past surveys.
Rates reported by prison and jail inmates were higher
among females than males, higher among whites than
blacks, and higher among inmates with a college degree
than those who had not completed high school.

 Variations in staff sexual misconduct rates were also

similar across surveys. Rates reported by inmates were
higher among males in jails than females in jails, higher
among black inmates in prisons and jails than white
inmates in prisons and jails, and lower among inmates
age 35 or older than inmates ages 20 to 24 in both
prisons and jails.

 Inmates held for violent sexual offenses reported higher
rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization (3.7%
in prison and 3.9% in jails) than inmates held for other
offenses.

Special inmate populations

 In 2011-12, juveniles ages 16 to 17 held in adult prisons

and jails did not have significantly higher rates of sexual
victimization than adult inmates:

•	

An estimated 1.8% of juveniles ages 16 to 17 held in
prisons and jails reported being victimized by another
inmate, compared to 2.0% of adults in prisons and
1.6% of adults in jails.

•	

An estimated 3.2% of juveniles ages 16 to 17 held in
prisons and jails reported experiencing staff sexual
misconduct. Though higher, these rates were not
statistically different from the 2.4% of adults in prisons
and 1.8% of adults in jails.

•	

Juveniles (ages 16 to 17) and young adults (ages
18 to 19 and 20 to 24) reported similar rates of sexual
victimization for most of the key subgroups (sex,
race or Hispanic origin, body mass index, sexual
orientation, and offense).

Highlights (continued)
 Inmates with serious psychological distress reported high
rates of inmate-on-inmate and staff sexual victimization
in 2011-12:

•	

•	

Among state and federal prison inmates, an estimated
6.3% of those identified with serious psychological
distress reported that they were sexually victimized by
another inmate. In comparison, among prisoners with
no indication of mental illness, 0.7% reported being
victimized by another inmate.
Similar differences were reported by jail inmates.
An estimated 3.6% of those identified with serious
psychological distress reported inmate-on-inmate
sexual victimization, compared to 0.7% of inmates
with no indication of mental illness.

•	

Rates of serious psychological distress in prisons
(14.7%) and jails (26.3%) were substantially higher
than the rate (3.0%) in the U.S. noninstitutional
population age 18 or older.

•	

For each of the measured demographic subgroups,
inmates with serious psychological distress reported
higher rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization
than inmates without mental health problems.

 Inmates who reported their sexual orientation as gay,

lesbian, bisexual, or other were among those with the
highest rates of sexual victimization in 2011-12:

•	

Among non-heterosexual inmates, 12.2% of prisoners
and 8.5% of jail inmates reported being sexually
victimized by another inmate; 5.4% of prisoners and
4.3% of jail inmates reported being victimized by staff.

•	

In each demographic subgroup (sex, race or Hispanic
origin, age, and education), non-heterosexual
prison and jail inmates reported higher rates
of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization than
heterosexual inmates.

•	

Among inmates with serious psychological distress,
non-heterosexual inmates reported the highest rates
of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization (21.0% of
prison inmates and 14.7% of jail inmates).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and
Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12
National Inmate Survey-3

B

etween February 2011 and May 2012, BJS completed
the third National Inmate Survey (NIS-3) in 233
state and federal prisons, 358 jails, and
15 special confinement facilities operated by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Military, and
correctional authorities in Indian country. The survey,
conducted by RTI International (Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina), was administered to 92,449 inmates age
18 or older, including 38,251 inmates in state and federal
prisons, 52,926 in jails, 573 in ICE facilities, 539 in military
facilities, and 160 in Indian country jails. The survey was
also administered to juveniles ages 16 to 17 held in adult
prisons and jails. Based on 527 completed interviews of
juveniles in state prisons and 1,211 interviews in local
jails, the NIS-3 provides the first-ever national estimates of
sexual victimization of juveniles held in adult facilities.
The NIS-3 is part of the National Prison Rape Statistics
Program, which collects reported sexual violence
from administrative records and allegations of sexual
victimization directly from victims through surveys of
inmates in prisons and jails and surveys of youth held in
juvenile correctional facilities. Administrative records have
been collected annually since 2004. Reports by victims of
sexual victimization have been collected since 2007.
The NIS-3 survey consisted of an audio computer-assisted
self-interview (ACASI) in which inmates used a touchscreen to interact with a computer-assisted questionnaire
and followed audio instructions delivered via headphones.
Some inmates (751) completed a short paper form instead
of using the ACASI. Most of these inmates were housed
in administrative or disciplinary segregation or were
considered too violent to be interviewed.
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-79;
PREA) requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
to carry out a comprehensive statistical review and
analysis of incidents and effects of prison rape for each
calendar year. This report fulfills the requirement under
Sec. 4c(2)(B)(ii) of the act to provide a list of prisons and
jails according to the prevalence of sexual victimization.

As in the NIS-1 (conducted 2007) and the NIS-2
(conducted 2008-09), the NIS-3 collected only allegations
of sexual victimization. Since participation in the survey is
anonymous and reports are confidential, the survey does
not permit any follow-up investigation or substantiation of
reported incidents through review. Some allegations in the
NIS-3 may be untrue. At the same time, some inmates may
not report sexual victimization experienced in the facility,
despite efforts of survey staff to assure inmates that their
responses would be kept confidential. Although the effects
may be offsetting, the relative extent of under reporting and
false reporting in the NIS-3 is unknown.

Incidents of sexual victimization
In 2011-12, 4.0% of prison inmates and 3.2% of jail
inmates reported experiencing one or more incidents of
sexual victimization

Among the 91,177 adult prison and jail inmates
participating in the NIS-3 sexual victimization survey,
3,381 reported experiencing one or more incidents of
sexual victimization in the past 12 months or since
admission to the facility, if less than 12 months. Since the
NIS-3 is a sample survey, weights were applied for sampled
facilities and inmates within facilities to produce nationallevel and facility-level estimates. The estimated number of
prison and jail inmates experiencing sexual victimization
totaled 80,600 (or 4.0% of all prison inmates and 3.2% of
jail inmates nationwide) (table 1).
Among all state and federal prison inmates, 2.0% (or an
estimated 29,300 prisoners) reported an incident involving
another inmate, and 2.4% (34,100) reported an incident
involving facility staff. Some prisoners (0.4% or 5,500)
reported sexual victimization by both another inmate and
facility staff.
Among all jail inmates, about 1.6% (11,900) reported an
incident with another inmate, and 1.8% (13,200) reported
an incident with staff. Approximately 0.2% of jail inmates
(2,400) reported being sexually victimized by both another
inmate and staff.

The NIS-3 screened for specific sexual activities in which
inmates may have been involved during the past 12 months
or since admission to the facility, if less than 12 months.
Inmates were then asked if they were forced or pressured
to engage in these activities by another inmate or staff.
(See appendices 1, 2, and 3 for specific survey questions.)
Reports of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization were
classified as either nonconsensual sexual acts or abusive
sexual contacts. (See text box for Terms and definitions.)
Approximately 1.1% of prisoners and 0.7% of jail inmates
said they were forced or pressured to have nonconsensual
sex with another inmate, including manual stimulation
and oral, anal, or vaginal penetration. An additional 1.0%
of prison inmates and 0.9% of jail inmates said they had
experienced one or more abusive sexual contacts only or
unwanted touching of specific body parts in a sexual way
by another inmate.
An estimated 1.5% of prison inmates and 1.4% of jail
inmates reported that they had sex or sexual contact
unwillingly with staff as a result of physical force, pressure,
or offers of special favors or privileges. An estimated 1.4%
of all prison inmates and 0.9% of jail inmates reported they
willingly had sex or sexual contact with staff. Any sexual
contact between inmates and staff is illegal, regardless of
whether an inmate reported being willing or unwilling,
but this difference between willing and unwilling may
be informative when addressing issues of staff training,
prevention, and investigation.

Terms and definitions

Sexual victimization—all types of sexual activity, e.g.,
oral, anal, or vaginal penetration; hand jobs; touching
of the inmate’s buttocks, thighs, penis, breasts, or
vagina in a sexual way; abusive sexual contacts; and
both willing and unwilling sexual activity with staff.
Nonconsensual sexual acts—unwanted contacts with
another inmate or any contacts with staff that involved
oral, anal, vaginal penetration, hand jobs, and other
sexual acts.
Abusive sexual contacts only—unwanted contacts with
another inmate or any contacts with staff that involved
touching of the inmate’s buttocks, thigh, penis, breasts,
or vagina in a sexual way.
Unwilling activity—incidents of unwanted sexual
contacts with another inmate or staff.
Willing activity—incidents of willing sexual contacts
with staff. These contacts are characterized by the
reporting inmates as willing; however, all sexual
contacts between inmates and staff are legally
nonconsensual.
Staff sexual misconduct—includes all incidents of
willing and unwilling sexual contact with facility staff
and all incidents of sexual activity that involved oral,
anal, vaginal penetration, hand jobs, blow jobs, and
other sexual acts with facility staff.

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

The NIS-3 recorded slightly lower rates of sexual
victimization in prisons compared to the NIS-1 and
NIS-2, which was largely driven by a decline in the reported
rates of staff sexual misconduct (table 2). Overall, the
rate of sexual victimization was 4.5% in 2007 and 4.0% in
2011-12, but the difference was not statistically significant.
(See Methodology for discussion of significance testing
and standard errors.) Staff sexual misconduct considered
“willing” by the victims was the only rate to show a decline,
from 1.8% in 2008-09 to 1.4% in 2011-12. This drop was
limited to willing sexual activity, excluding touching.
In addition, willing sexual activity with staff (excluding
touching only) in 2011-12 was significantly different from
2007 (dropping from 1.5% to 1.2%).
Among jail inmates, the overall rates of sexual victimization
remained unchanged (3.2% in 2007, 3.1% in 2008-09, and
3.2% in 2011-12). The rates of staff sexual misconduct
in jails were 2.0% in 2007, 2.0% in 2008-09, and 1.8% in
2011-12, but this decline was not statistically significant. Jail
inmates in 2011-12 were less likely to report experiencing
willing sexual activity with staff (0.9%) than jail inmates in
2007 (1.1%) and 2008-09 (1.1%). This decline was limited
to willing sexual activity, excluding touching.

Facility-level rates
The NIS-3 provides a basis for identifying high rate and
low rate facilities

As required under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, the
NIS-3 provides facility-level estimates of inmate-on-inmate
sexual victimization and staff sexual misconduct. Since
these estimates are based on a sample of inmates rather
than a complete enumeration, they are subject to sampling
error. (See Methodology for description of sampling
procedures.)
The precision of each of the facility-level estimates can be
calculated based on the estimated standard error. Typically,
a 95%-confidence interval around each survey estimate is
calculated by multiplying the standard error by 1.96 and
then adding and subtracting the result from the sample
estimate to create an upper and lower bound. This interval
expresses the range of values that could result among 95%
of the different samples that could be drawn.
For small samples and estimates close to 0%, as is the case
with facility-level estimates of sexual victimization by type
of incident, the use of the standard error to construct the
95%-confidence interval may not be reliable. An alternative
method developed by E. B. Wilson has been shown to
perform better than the traditional method.1,2

As with the NIS-2, the criterion that the lower bound of
the confidence interval be at least 55% higher than the
average rate for comparable facilities was used in the NIS-3
to identify high-rate male prisons, female prisons, and
jails. The criterion that the upper bound of the confidence
interval be lower than 65% of the average rate for
comparable facilities was used to identify low-rate facilities.

This method provides asymmetrical confidence intervals
for facilities in which the lower bound is constrained to
be no less than 0%. It also provides confidence intervals
for facilities in which the survey estimates are 0% (but
other similarly conducted samples could yield non-zero
estimates).
Although the NIS-3 provides facility-level estimates and
measures of precision, it cannot provide an exact ranking
for all facilities as required under PREA. Rates of inmateon-inmate sexual victimization and staff sexual misconduct
differ across facilities, but the observed differences are
not always statistically significant. To address PREA
requirements, facilities have been categorized as having
high rates or low rates based on criteria applied to the lower
and upper bounds of the 95%-confidence interval for each
facility (figure 1 and figure 2).

To better identify variations among correctional facilities
in rates of sexual victimization, prisons and jails are
compared separately by type of sexual victimization.
Though informative, an analysis of a single, overall
prevalence rate of sexual victimization for each
sampled facility would confound differing risk factors,
circumstances, and underlying causes of victimization.
For the same reasons, prisons are compared separately by
the sex of inmates housed.

The NIS-3 sample was designed to ensure a sufficient
number of female-only prison facilities (44 facilities
participated) and a sufficient number of female respondents
(7,141 completed the survey) to allow for valid comparisons
among female prisons. Four of the 358 jails that
participated in the NIS-3 housed females only and
one other jail was majority female. As a result, rates
of sexual victimization in jails could not be compared
separately by sex of inmates housed.
11 male prisons, 1 female prison, and 9 jails were
identified as having high rates of inmate-on-inmate
sexual victimization in 2011-12

Among the 233 prisons and 358 jails surveyed in the NIS-3,
11 male prisons, 1 female prison, and 9 jails were designated as
high-rate facilities based on reports of inmate-on-inmate sexual

victimization (table 3). Each of these facilities had a rate of
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization that was at least twice the
national rate of 1.7% for male prisons, 7.2% for female prisons,
and 1.6% for jails. Each had a 95%-confidence interval with a
lower bound that was at least 55% higher than the average rate
among comparable facilities.
Among male prisons, Northwest Florida Reception
Center (Florida), Idaho Maximum Security Institution,
and Montana State Prison recorded inmate-on-inmate
sexual victimization rates of 9.0% or greater. Mabel Bassett
Correctional Center (Oklahoma), with a rate of 15.3%,
was the only female prison that could be classified as high
rate. Eleven other female-only prison facilities had rates of
10% or greater but did not meet the requirement of a lower
bound that was 55% higher than the average rate for all
female prisons. (See appendix table 2.)

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

12

Ripley County Jail (Indiana) recorded an inmate-on-inmate
sexual victimization rate of 7.9% and Philadelphia City
Riverside Correctional Facility (Pennsylvania), a femaleonly jail facility, recorded a rate of 6.7%, both of which
were more than four times the average rate among jails
nationwide. Two other jails—Harris County Jail, Baker
Street (Texas) and Eastern Regional Jail (Martinsburg, West
Virginia)—each had rates of 6% or greater.
8 male prisons, 4 female prisons, and 12 jails were
identified as having high rates of staff sexual misconduct

Twelve prisons were identified as high-rate facilities based
on reports of staff sexual misconduct—eight male prisons
and four female prisons (table 4). Twelve jails were also

identified as high-rate facilities. Each had a confidence
interval with a lower bound that was at least 55% higher
than the national rate for male prisons (2.4%), female
prisons (2.4%), and jails (1.8%) (figure 3 and figure 4).
In five state prisons, at least 9% of surveyed inmates
reported being the victims of staff sexual misconduct,
including 10.1% of inmates in Santa Rosa Correctional
Institution (Florida), 9.9% in Montana State Prison, 9.6%
in Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility (Mississippi),
9.5% in Clements Unit (Texas), and 10.7% in Denver
Women’s Correctional Facility (Colorado).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

13

Seven jails had staff sexual misconduct rates of at least
6%. Marion County Jail Intake Facility (Indiana) had the
highest reported rate of staff sexual misconduct (7.7%),
followed by Baltimore City Detention Center (Maryland)
(6.7%), St. Louis Medium Security Institution (Missouri)
(6.3%), and Philadelphia City Industrial Correctional
Center (Pennsylvania) (6.3%).
The reported use or threat of physical force to engage in
sexual activity with staff was generally low among all prison
and jail inmates (0.8%); however, at least 5% of the inmates
in three state prisons and one high-rate jail facility reported
they had been physically forced or threatened with force.
(See appendix tables 3 and 7.) The Clements Unit (Texas)
had the highest percentage of inmates reporting sexual
victimization involving physical force or threat of force by
staff (8.1%), followed by Denver Women’s Correctional
Facility (Colorado) (7.3%), and Idaho Maximum Security

Institution (6.0%). Wilson County Jail (Kansas) led all
surveyed jails, with 5.6% of inmates reporting that staff used
physical force or threat of force to have sex or sexual contact.
While 0.8% of prison and jail inmates reported the use or
threat of physical force, an estimated 1.4% of prison inmates
and 1.2% of jail inmates reported being coerced by facility
staff without any use or threat of force, including being
pressured or made to feel they had to have sex or sexual
contact. In 8 of the 24 facilities with high rates of staff
sexual misconduct, at least 5% of the inmates reported such
pressure by staff. Among state prisoners, the highest rates
were reported by female inmates in the Denver Women’s
Correctional Facility (Colorado) (8.8%) and by male inmates
in the Clements Unit (Texas) (8.7%). Among jail inmates, the
highest rates were reported by inmates in the Rose M. Singer
Center (New York) (5.6%) and the Contra Costa County
Martinez Detention Facility (California) (5.2%).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

14

7 male prisons, 6 female prisons, and 4 jails were
identified as low-rate facilities for sexual victimization
overall

Thirteen prisons and 34 jails had no reported incidents of
sexual victimization of any kind. (See appendix tables 1
and 5.) Estimates of the number of inmates who
experienced a sexual victimization in each of these facilities
are also subject to sampling error and could vary if a
different group of inmates had been interviewed. Although
the lower bound of the 95%-confidence interval in each of
these facilities is 0%, the upper bound varies depending on
the number of completed interviews in each facility.
Combining reports of inmate-on-inmate sexual
victimization and staff sexual misconduct, seven male
prisons and six female prisons were designated as low-rate
facilities. These designations were based on their low rate
of sexual victimization overall and the upper bound of
their 95%-confidence interval that was less than 65% of

the average rate among male and female prisons (table 5).
Six of these facilities had no reported incidents of sexual
victimization, while seven facilities had at least one inmate
who reported sexual victimization.
Danville Correctional Center (Illinois), with a reported
sexual victimization rate of 0.5%, had a confidence interval
with the lowest upper bound (1.8%) among male prisons.
FCI Marianna Camp (operated in Florida by the Federal
Bureau of Prisons), with a reported sexual victimization
rate of 0.6%, had a confidence interval with the lowest
upper bound (2.1%) among female prisons.
Four jails were designated as low-rate facilities based on
the upper bound of the 95%-confidence interval that was
less than 65% of the average for jails nationwide. Woodford
County Detention Center (Kentucky), with a 0.1% overall
sexual victimization rate, had a confidence interval with the
lowest upper bound (0.6%).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

In 2011-12, two military facilities and one Indian country
jail had high rates of staff sexual misconduct

The NIS-3 also surveyed 15 special confinement facilities,
including 5 ICE facilities, 5 military facilities, and 5 Indian
country jails. (See Methodology for sample description.)
As a result of too few completed interviews, rates in two
Indian country facilities—Hualapai Adult Detention Center
(Arizona) and Standing Rock Law Enforcement and Adult
Detention Center (North Dakota)—could not be provided.
Among ICE facilities, sexual victimization rates were
highest in the Krome North Service Processing Center
(Florida), in which 3.2% of detainees reported experiencing
sexual victimization by another detainee and 3.0% reported
experiencing staff sexual misconduct (table 6). Overall, an
estimated 3.8% of detainees in this ICE facility reported
experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization,
which was somewhat lower than the 4.0% average in
prisons nationwide and slightly higher than the 3.2%
average in jails nationwide. (See appendix table 9.)
The Northwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility
(Washington), which is operated by the U.S. Army
Corrections Command and holds pretrial offenders

and short-term post-trial offenders, had a staff sexual
misconduct rate (6.6%) that was more than double the
average rate for prisons (2.4%) and jails (1.8%) nationwide.
Inmates held at this military facility also reported a high
rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization (5.1%),
which was also more than double the 2.0% average among
prisons and 1.6% average among jails nationwide.
Inmates at the Naval Consolidated Brig Mirimar (California)
reported high rates of staff sexual misconduct (4.9%) and
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization (3.0%). This facility,
which is operated by the U.S. Navy, holds male inmates
sentenced to terms of 10 years or less and female inmates
regardless of sentence length from all military services.
Among all facilities sampled, staff sexual misconduct was
highest in the Oglala Sioux Tribal Offenders Facility (South
Dakota) (10.8%). Based on the 6.2% lower bound of the
95%-confidence interval, the rate of staff sexual misconduct
in this Indian country facility was statistically higher than
the rate reported for any jail nationwide. This facility, with a
peak population of 147 in June 2011, was the most crowded
facility among the 80 Indian jails in operation at midyear
2011. (See Jails in Indian Country, 2011, NCJ 238978.)

 Rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization among

Demographic and other characteristics
Overweight and obese prison inmates had lower rates of
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization and staff misconduct
than inmates who were at or below a normal weight

Variations in reported sexual victimization rates across
inmate demographic categories in the NIS-3 were
consistent with past surveys:

prison inmates were higher among females (6.9%) than
males (1.7%), higher among whites (2.9%) or inmates of
two or more races (4.0%) than among blacks (1.3%), higher
among inmates with a college degree (2.7%) than among
inmates who had not completed high school (1.9%), and
lower among currently married inmates (1.4%) than among
inmates who never married (2.1%) (table 7).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

17

 Similar patterns of inmate-on-inmate sexual

victimization were reported by jail inmates. Female
jail inmates (3.6%), whites (2.0%), and inmates with
a college degree (3.0%) reported higher rates of
victimization than males (1.4%), blacks (1.1%), and
inmates who had not completed high school (1.4%).

 Rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization were

unrelated to age among state and federal prisoners, except
for slightly lower rates among inmates age 55 or older.

 Rates were lower among jail inmates in the oldest age

categories (ages 35 to 44, 45 to 54, and 55 or older) than
among jail inmates ages 20 to 24.

 Patterns of staff sexual misconduct were different, with

higher rates among males in jails (1.9%) than among
females in jails (1.4%), and higher among black inmates
in prisons (2.6%) and jails (2.1%) than among white
inmates in prisons (1.6%) and jails (1.4%).

 In both prisons and jails, rates of reported staff sexual

misconduct were lower among inmates in the oldest
age categories (ages 35 to 44, 45 to 54, and 55 or older),
compared to inmates in the 20 to 24 age category.

With a new survey question on the inmate’s specific height
in combination with a question on the inmate’s weight, the
NIS-3 provides the first opportunity to determine if rates of
sexual victimization vary based on an inmate’s Body Mass
Index (BMI). Among state and federal prison inmates,
obese inmates (with a BMI of 30 to 39) and overweight

inmates (with a BMI of 25 to 30) had lower rates of inmateon-inmate sexual victimization and staff sexual misconduct
than inmates with a normal weight (with a BMI of 18.5 to
24) or who were underweight (a BMI of less than 18.5).
(See Methodology for calculation of BMI.)
Among jail inmates, those underweight (3.5%) and those
morbidly obese (BMI of 40 or greater) (3.0%) have nearly
double the rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization
than inmates in other categories (1.6%, normal weight;
1.5%, overweight; and 1.7%, obese). There are no
statistically significant variations in reported staff sexual
misconduct among jail inmates across BMI categories.
Large differences in sexual victimization were found
among inmates based on their sexual orientation and past
sexual experiences

Inmates who identified their sexual orientation as gay,
lesbian, bisexual, or other reported high rates of inmate-oninmate sexual victimization and staff sexual misconduct:

 Among heterosexual state and federal prisoners, an

estimated 1.2% reported being sexually victimized by
another inmate, and 2.1% reported being victimized by
staff. In comparison, among non-heterosexual prison
inmates (including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and other
sexual orientations), 12.2% reported being sexually
victimized by another inmate, and 5.4% reported being
sexually victimized by staff (table 8).

 Among jail inmates, heterosexual inmates reported

lower rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization
(1.2%) and staff sexual misconduct (1.7%) than nonheterosexual inmates (8.5% for inmate-on-inmate and
4.3% for staff sexual misconduct).

 Inmates who experienced sexual victimization before

coming to the facility were also more likely than inmates
with no sexual victimization history to report incidents
of sexual victimization involving other inmates and staff.
Among inmates who experienced sexual victimization
before coming to the facility, 12.0% of prisoners and
8.3% of jail inmates reported being sexually victimized

by another inmate at the current facility. An estimated
6.7% of prisoners and 5.1% of jail inmates who
experienced sexual victimization before coming to the
facility reported sexual victimization by staff.
In 2011-12, inmates held for a violent sexual offense
reported higher rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual
victimization than inmates held for other offenses

An estimated 3.7% of violent sex offenders in prison and
3.9% of violent sex offenders in jail reported being sexually
victimized by another inmate in the last 12 months or since
admission to the facility, if less than 12 months (table 9).

These rates were higher than those reported by inmates
held for other offenses. Among state and federal prisoners,
rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization were—

 higher among prison inmates serving a sentence of life

or death (2.7%) than among inmates serving a sentence
of 1 to 4 years (1.8%).

 higher among prison inmates who had been at their

current facility for 5 years or more (2.9%) than among
inmates who had been admitted in the last month (1.4%).

Among jail inmates, the rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual
victimization increased with the length of time served
in the current facility, rising from 0.9% among inmates
who had been at the facility for less than a month to 1.7%
among inmates in jail for 1 to 5 months, 2.7% among
inmates in jail for 6 to 11 months, and 2.6% among those
in jail for 1 to 4 years.
Rates of staff sexual misconduct varied among inmates
based on their criminal justice status and history

 Among state and federal prisoners, inmates with a

long sentence, inmates who had served 5 years or more
in prison prior to coming to the current facility, and
inmates who had served 5 years or more at the current
facility were more likely to report experiencing staff
sexual misconduct than inmates with a sentence of 1 to
4 years, inmates who had not served any prior time, and
inmates who had been admitted in the last month.

 Among jail inmates, the rate of reported staff sexual

misconduct increased with time served in the current
facility and was higher among inmates who had
previously served time in a correctional facility for 1 year
or more.

These variations in rates of sexual victimization among
inmate subgroups based on demographic characteristics,
sexual history and orientation, and criminal justice status
are almost identical to those reported in the NIS-2. (See
Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by
Inmates, 2008-09, NCJ 231169, BJS Web, August 2010.)

Special inmate populations—Inmates ages 16 to 17
In 2011-12, juvenile inmates ages 16 to 17 held in adult
facilities reported rates of sexual victimization similar to
those of adult inmates

The NIS-3 was specially designed to provide estimates of
sexual victimization for inmates ages 16 to 17 held in adult
facilities. Previous NIS collections excluded inmates age 17
or younger due to special human subject issues (related to
consent and assent, as well as risk of trauma in the survey
process) and statistical issues (related to clustering of youth
and the need to oversample to ensure a representative
sample). To address issues of consent and risk, the NIS-3
juvenile sample was restricted to inmates ages 16 to 17
(who represented an estimated 95% of the 1,790 juveniles
held in prisons at yearend 2011 and 97% of the 5,870
juveniles held in local jails at midyear 2011).
The NIS-3 was designed to oversample for facilities that
house juveniles and to oversample juveniles within selected
facilities. The resulting sample was structured to provide
separate nationwide estimates for juveniles in prisons
and jails, while providing national-level and facility-level
estimates for adult inmates that were comparable to
estimates in the NIS-1 and NIS-2. (See Methodology for the
juvenile sample design.)

Juveniles ages 16 to 17 held in prisons and jails did not
report significantly higher rates of sexual victimization
than adult inmates. Although the overall rates for juveniles
(4.5% in prisons and 4.7% in jails) were somewhat higher
than those for adults (4.0% in prisons and 3.2% in jails), the
differences were not statistically significant (table 10).
Rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization are
unrelated to age among state and federal prisoners
(table 11). When compared to inmates in every other
age category, inmate ages 16 to 17 reported experiencing
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization at similar rates.
Among jail inmates, the rate of staff sexual misconduct was
higher for inmates ages 16 to 17 than for older inmates;
however, the differences were statistically significant only
for inmates age 35 or older.
These data do not support the conclusion that juveniles
held in adult prisons and jails are more likely to be sexually
victimized than inmates in other age groups. Due to the
relatively small number of juveniles held in state prisons
(an estimated 1,700 inmates ages 16 to 17 at midyear 2011),
BJS combined these data with reports from juveniles held
in local jails (an estimated 5,700 inmates ages 16 to 17).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

21

Overall, the patterns of reported sexual victimization by
juveniles were similar to those for adult inmates, including
higher rates of staff sexual misconduct than rates of inmateon-inmate sexual victimization:

 Of juveniles held in prisons and jails, 1.8% reported being

victimized by another inmate in the past 12 months or since
admission to the facility, if less than 12 months)
(table 12). This rate was similar to the rate reported by adult
prisoners (2.0%) and adult jail inmates (1.6%).

 Among juveniles held in prisons and jails nationwide,

Among juveniles and young adult inmates in 2011-12,
patterns of sexual victimization across demographic
subgroups showed little variation

Across subgroups defined by sex, race or Hispanic origin,
BMI, sexual orientation, and most serious offense,
juveniles and young adults reported experiencing similar
rates of sexual victimization. Due to the small number of
juveniles within each subgroup, few differences in sexual
victimization rates across age groups were statistically
significant. (Tests across age group not shown; see appendix
table 14 for standard errors.)

3.2% reported experiencing staff sexual misconduct.
Though higher, the rate was not statistically different from
that of adults in prisons (2.4%) and adults in jails (1.8%).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

23

Special inmate populations— Inmates with mental
health problems
The NIS-3 collected data on the mental health problems of
inmates for the first time in 2011-12. Inmates were asked
whether they had been told by a mental health professional
that they had a mental disorder or if because of a mental
health problem they had stayed overnight in a hospital
or other facility, used prescription medicine, or they had
received counseling or treatment from a trained professional.
These items have been previously used by BJS to determine if
inmates in prisons and jails had any history of mental health
problems. (See Mental Health Problems of Prison and Jail
Inmates, NCJ 213600, BJS Web, September 2006.)
A high percentage of inmates had a history of problems
with their emotions, nerves, or mental health

the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-IV) (table 14). Inmates were asked specifically if
they had ever been told they had manic depression, bipolar
disorder, or other depressive disorder, schizophrenia
or another psychotic disorder, post-traumatic stress
disorder, or an anxiety or other personality disorder. (See
Methodology for survey items and full list of disorders.)
More than a third of prison inmates (35.8%) and jail
inmates (39.2%) said they had received some counseling
or therapy from a trained professional for these problems.
An estimated 8.9% of prisoners and 12.8% of jail
inmates reported an overnight stay in a hospital or other
facility before their current admission to prison or jail.
Approximately 15.4% of prisoners and 19.7% of jail inmates
reported taking prescription medication for these mental
health and emotional problems at the time of the offense
for which they were currently being held.

An estimated 36.6% of prison inmates and 43.7% of jail
inmates reported being told by a mental health professional
that they had a mental health disorder, as specified in

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

24

Inmates with a history of mental health problems had
higher rates of sexual victimization than other inmates

Inmates who had been told by a mental health professional
that they had a mental disorder were more likely than
other inmates to report being sexually victimized while in
prison or jail. Among inmates who had been told they had
a specific DSM-IV disorder—

 During 2011-12, an estimated 3.8% of prison inmates

and 2.9% of jail inmates reported that they were sexually
victimized by another inmate.

 Approximately 3.4% of prison inmates and 2.5% of jail

inmates reported that they were sexually victimized by
staff during 2011-12.

Sexual victimization rates were also higher among inmates
who had stayed overnight in a hospital or other treatment
facility because of a mental health problem than among
inmates who had no prior admission for mental health
problems. Among those who had stayed overnight in a
hospital for mental or emotional problems, 5.7% of prison
inmates and 4.4% of jail inmates said they were victimized
by another inmate, and 4.9% of prison inmates and 3.4% of
jail inmates said they were victimized by facility staff.
Differences in sexual victimization rates among inmates
were similar across other mental health measures. Rates of
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization were—

 Two to three times higher among inmates who were

taking prescription medications for their mental health or
emotional problems at the time of the current offense than
among inmates who were not taking such medications.

 Three to four times higher among inmates who had

received mental health counseling or treatment from a
trained professional in the past than among inmates who
had not received such counseling or treatment.

In 2011-12, nearly 15% of state and federal prisoners and
26% of jail inmates had symptoms of serious psychological
distress

To determine whether inmates had a current mental
health problem, BJS used the K6 screening scale in the
NIS-3. The K6 was previously developed by Kessler and
others for estimating the prevalence of serious mental
illness in noninstitutional settings as a tool to identify
cases of psychiatric disorder. It has been used widely in
epidemiological surveys in the U.S. and internationally.3,4
3Kessler, R.C., Barker, P.R., Colpe, L.J., Epstein, J.F., Gfroerer, J.C., Hiripi,

E., Howes, M.J., Normand, S.L., Manderscheid, R.W., Walters, E.E., &
Zaslavsky, A.M. (2003). “Screening for serious mental illness in the general
population.” Archives of General Psychiatry, 60, 184–189.

The K6 consists of six questions that ask inmates to report
how often during the past 30 days they had felt—

 nervous
 hopeless
 restless or fidgety
 so depressed that nothing could cheer them up
 everything was an effort
 worthless.
The response options were (1) all of the time, (2) most of
the time, (3) some of the time, (4) a little of the time, and
(5) none of the time. Following Kessler, the responses were
coded from 4 to 0, with 4 assigned to “all of the time” and
0 assigned to “none of the time.” A summary scale
combining the responses from all six items was then
produced with a range of 0 to 24. The summary score was
then reduced to three categories: 0 to 7 indicated no mental
illness, 8 to 12 indicated an anxiety-mood disorder, and 13
or higher indicated serious psychological distress (SPD).
Since 2008, the K6 scale has been used in federal
epidemiological studies to measure symptoms of SPD
rather than serious mental illness. Although the K6 has
been demonstrated to be a good predictor of serious
mental illness in prior studies, a technical advisory group,
convened by the Center for Mental Health Services
at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA), recommended that it should
be supplemented with questions on functional impairment
to improve statistical prediction and validity. (See
Methodology for discussion of K6 scaling rules and current
applications.)
Consistent with other measures of mental health or
emotional problems, the K6 reveals that prison and jail
inmates have high rates of SPD. An estimated 203,200
state and federal inmates and 185,500 jail inmates reported
levels of psychological distress in the 30 days prior to the
interview consistent with SPD. These estimates of current
SPD represented nearly 15% of state and federal inmates
and 26% of local jail inmates. These may be underestimates
because some inmates with serious mental illness may have
been unable to participate in the NIS-3 due to cognitive
limitations that precluded them from fully understanding
the informed consent procedures or the survey questions.

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

25

An additional 251,700 state and federal prisoners (18.2%)
and 155,800 jail inmates (22.2%) reported lower levels of
psychological distress, indicative of anxiety-mood disorders.
Rates of SPD in prisons and jails were substantially higher
than the 3.0% rate of SPD observed in the 2012 National
Health Interview Survey of the noninstitutional U.S.
population age 18 or older, using the same K6 screener.5
Although inmate populations are demographically different
from the general U.S. population, these differences in the
prevalence of SPD remain significant when comparisons
are restricted to demographic subgroups most commonly
held in prisons and jails (table 15):

 Among males, 3.0% of the general U.S. population was
identified with SPD, compared to 14.7% of prisoners
and 26.3% of jails inmates.

 Among persons ages 18 to 44, 2.7% of the general

population, 14.8% of prisoners and 26.1% of jail inmates had
SPD.

 Among black non-Hispanic adults, 2.6% of the general

population was classified with SPD, compared to 13.0% of
prisoners and 22.1% of jail inmates.

 Among white non-Hispanic adults, 2.9% of the general

population, 17.5% of prisoners and 30.8% of jail inmates
had SPD.

Inmates with SPD or anxiety-mood disorders reported high
overall rates of sexual victimization in 2011-12

Inmates identified with SPD reported significantly higher rates
of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization and staff sexual
misconduct than inmates without a mental health problem:

 Similarly, jail inmates identified with SPD reported higher

rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization (3.6%) and
staff sexual misconduct (3.6%) than inmates with no mental
illness (0.7% for inmate-on-inmate and 1.0% for staff sexual
misconduct).

 Among state and federal inmates, an estimated 6.3% of those
identified with SPD reported being sexually victimized by
another inmate, and 5.6% reported being victimized by staff.
In comparison, among prison inmates with no indication
of mental illness or anxiety-mood disorders, 0.7% reported
being sexually victimized by another inmate and 1.1%
reported experiencing staff sexual misconduct.

26

Inmates identified as having anxiety-mood disorders
reported higher rates of sexual victimization than inmates
who did not report a mental health problem. Inmates with
anxiety-mood disorders reported lower victimization rates
than inmates with SPD. Among inmates with anxietymood disorders—

 An estimated 2.8% of prison inmates and 1.3% of jail

inmates reported that they were sexually victimized by
another inmate.

 About 3.0% of prison inmates and 1.4% of jail inmates
reported that they were sexually victimized by staff.

Inmates with mental illness reported higher rates of
sexual victimization than inmates without mental health
problems across subgroups

For each of the measured subgroups (i.e., sex, race or
Hispanic origin, age, sexual orientation, and most serious
offense), inmates with SPD reported higher rates of inmateon-inmate sexual victimization than inmates without
mental health problems (table 16). With the exception of
jail inmates age 45 or older, the differences were large and
statistically significant. Among inmates with SPD, nonheterosexual inmates reported the highest rates of inmateon-inmate sexual victimization (an estimated 21.0% of
prison inmates and 14.7% of jail inmates).

Patterns of staff sexual misconduct were similar to those of
inmate-on-inmate victimization. Staff sexual misconduct
was also higher among inmates with SPD than those without
mental health problems (table 17). With the exception of

female jail inmates, the differences within each demographic
subgroup were statistically significant. Among inmates with
SPD, non-heterosexual prison inmates recorded the highest
rate (10.5%) of sexual victimization by staff.

Reports of sexual victimization differed among inmates
with SPD and other inmates

Among prison and jail inmates who reported inmate-oninmate sexual victimization, those with SPD were more
likely than those without mental health problems to be—

 victimized more than once (80.4% compared to 62.6%)
 forced or threatened with force by the perpetrator
(71.2% compared to 57.7%)

 injured (26.4% compared to 12.3%) (table 18).

Among victims of staff sexual misconduct, inmates with
SPD were more likely than those without mental health
problems to—

 report being pressured by staff (73.4% compared to
50.2%) or forced or threatened with force (47.2%
compared to 33.8%)

 be injured by staff (19.8% compared to 6.3%)
 report at least one victimization to someone at the

facility, a family member, or a friend (24.9% compared
to 14.1%).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

29

Across subgroups, inmate-on-inmate victimization
rates were higher for non-heterosexual inmates than
heterosexual inmates

Special inmate populations—Inmates with a
non-heterosexual sexual orientation
To date, all of the BJS victim self-report surveys conducted
under PREA have found that inmates with the highest
rates of sexual victimization are those who reported their
sexual orientation as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or other. For
example, among non-heterosexual inmates interviewed in
the NIS-2, 11.2% of prison inmates and 7.2% of jail inmates
reported being victimized by another inmate in the past
12 months or since admission to the facility, if less than 12
months. Among former state prison inmates interviewed
in the National Former Prisoner Survey (NFPS, conducted
in 2008), more than a third of non-heterosexual males
(33% of bisexuals and 39% of gays and lesbians) reported
being sexually victimized by another inmate during their
most recent period of incarceration. Combined with the
higher rates among non-heterosexual inmates in the NIS-3
(12.2% in prisons and 8.5% in jails), the surveys clearly
identify a high-risk population. Although the NIS-2 and
NFPS provide detailed multivariate models that control for
other risk factors, NIS-3 provides additional detail on this
population.

In every measured subgroup (i.e., sex, race or Hispanic
origin, age, education, and mental health problems),
non-heterosexual prison and jail inmates reported
higher rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization
than heterosexual inmates (table 19). Rates of sexual
victimization by other inmates against non-heterosexual
inmates were at least 10 times greater than that of
heterosexual inmates when the victim was also male,
black, Hispanic, or had less than a high school education.
These differences were smaller, but still large, among
non-heterosexual female inmates (2.5 times larger), whites
(more than 6 times larger), and high school graduates
(8 times larger).
Within each of the other demographic subgroups, staff-oninmate victimization rates were at least double for nonheterosexual inmates compared to heterosexual inmates.
Among non-heterosexual prison and jail inmates, rates of
staff sexual misconduct were the highest for inmates ages
18 to 24 (6.7%), blacks (6.2%), and males (6.1%).

Non-heterosexual victims (82.9%) were more likely
than heterosexual victims (68.0%) to report that the
victimization by another inmate involved pressure, but
less likely to report that it involved force or threat of
force (62.0% for non-heterosexual compared to 69.7%

for heterosexual victims) (table 20). In addition, nonheterosexual victims (84.2%) of staff sexual misconduct
were more likely than heterosexual victims (71.4%) to
report more than one incident.

Methodology

T

he National Inmate Survey, 2011-12 (NIS-3) was
conducted in 233 state and federal prisons,
358 jails, and 15 special facilities (military, Indian
country, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE)) between February 2011 and May 2012. The data
were collected by RTI International under a cooperative
agreement with the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).
The NIS-3 comprised two questionnaires—a survey of
sexual victimization and a survey of mental and physical
health, past drug and alcohol use, and treatment for
substance abuse. Inmates were randomly assigned to
receive one of the questionnaires so that at the time of the
interview the content of the survey remained unknown to
facility staff and the interviewers.
A total of 106,532 inmates participated in NIS-3, including
the sexual victimization survey or the randomly assigned
companion survey. Combined, the surveys included 43,721
inmates in state and federal prisons, 61,351 inmates in jails,
605 inmates in military facilities, 192 inmates in Indian
country jails, and 663 inmates in facilities operated by ICE.
The interviews, which averaged 35 minutes in length,
used computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI)
and audio computer-assisted self-interviewing (ACASI)
data collection methods. For approximately the first
two minutes, survey interviewers conducted a personal
interview using CAPI to obtain background information
and date of admission to the facility. For the remainder
of the interview, respondents interacted with a computeradministered questionnaire using a touchscreen and
synchronized audio instructions delivered via headphones.
Respondents completed the ACASI portion of the interview
in private, with the interviewer either leaving the room or
moving away from the computer.
A shorter paper questionnaire was made available
for inmates who were unable to come to the private
interviewing room or interact with the computer. The
paper form was completed by 751 prison inmates (or 1.9%
of all prison interviews)—733 were completed by adult
prison inmates (1.9% of adult prison inmate interviews)
and 18 were completed by prisoners ages 16 to 17 (3.4% of
all prison inmate interviews of inmates ages 16 to 17). The
paper questionnaire was also completed by 264 jail inmates
(0.5% of all jail inmate interviews)—255 were completed
by adults (0.5% of adult jail inmate interviews) and 9 were
completed by jail inmates ages 16 to 17 (0.7% of jail inmate
interviews of inmates ages 16 to 17). In addition, five paper
questionnaires were completed by military inmates (0.9%

of all military inmate interviews). Most of these inmates
were housed in administrative or disciplinary segregation
or were considered too violent to be interviewed.
Before the interview, inmates were informed verbally
and in writing that participation was voluntary and that
all information provided would be held in confidence.
Interviews were conducted in either English (96% in
prisons, 95% in jails, 35% in ICE facilities, and 100% in
military and Indian country facilities) or Spanish (4% in
prisons, 5% in jails, and 65% in ICE facilities).
Selection of state and federal prisons

A sample of 241 state and federal prisons was drawn to
produce a sample representing the 1,158 state and
194 federal adult confinement facilities identified in the
2005 Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional
Facilities, supplemented with updated information
from websites maintained by each state’s department of
corrections (DOC) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons
(BOP). The 2005 census was a complete enumeration
of adult state prisons, including all publicly operated
and privately operated facilities under contract to state
correctional authorities.
The NIS-3 was restricted to confinement facilities—
institutions in which fewer than 50% of the inmates were
regularly permitted to leave, unaccompanied by staff, for
work, study, or treatment. Such facilities included prisons,
penitentiaries, prison hospitals, prison farms, boot camps,
and centers for reception, classification, or alcohol and drug
treatment. The NIS-3 excluded community-based facilities,
such as halfway houses, group homes, and work release
centers.
Based on BJS’s 2011 National Prisoner Statistics and 2005
Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities, the
prisons in the study universe held an estimated 1,238,000
state and 203,800 federal inmates age 18 or older and
1,700 state inmates ages 16 to 17 at yearend 2011. Facilities
that had been closed and new facilities that had opened since
the 2005 census were identified via review of DOC and BOP
websites. Facilities determined to be closed were removed
from the NIS-3 frame and new facilities were added.
State and federal confinement facilities were sequentially
sampled with probabilities of selection proportionate to
size (as measured by the number of inmates held in state
prisons on December 30, 2005, and in federal prisons on
September 9, 2010).

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

32

Facilities on the sampling frame were stratified by sex of
inmates housed, whether the facility had a mental health
function, and whether the facility held five or more juveniles:

 Among facilities that housed males, the measure of size
for facilities that held male inmates and participated in
the NIS-1 in 2007 or NIS-2 in 2008-09 were adjusted to
lower their probability of selection in the NIS-3.

 Among facilities with an inmate population that was at
least 50% female, the measure of size for facilities that
participated in the NIS-2 was reduced to lower their
probability of selection in the NIS-3.

 The measures of size were further adjusted to increase

the probability of selection of facilities with large juvenile
populations.

Within each stratum, facilities in the sampling frame were
first sorted by region, state, and public or private operation:

 The sample measures of size for facilities housing only

female inmates were increased by a factor of 5 to ensure
a sufficient number of women and allow for meaningful
analyses of sexual victimization by sex. This led to an
allocation of 51 female facilities (out of 233) in the
sample.

 An additional 25 facilities were allocated to the stratum
with facilities that have a mental health function, and
another 20 facilities were allocated to the strata that
housed juveniles.

 This led to the allocation of 66 facilities known to have a

mental health function—49 male facilities and 17 female
facilities—and 38 facilities that housed juveniles (36
facilities that housed males and 2 facilities that housed
females).

Facilities were sampled ensuring that at least one facility
in every state was selected. Federal facilities were grouped
together and treated like a state for sampling purposes. The
remaining facilities were selected from each region with
probabilities proportionate to size.
Of the 241 selected prison facilities, 7 had closed prior to
the start of data collection: Metro State Prison (Georgia),
Hillsborough Corr. Inst. (Florida), Gates Corr. Inst.
(Connecticut), Brush Corr. Fac. (Colorado), Burnet Co.
Intermediate Sanction Fac. (Texas), and Diamondback
Corr. Fac. (Oklahoma). One facility—Chittenden Regional
Corr. Fac. (Vermont)—had transitioned from holding
males to females during the data collection period and
was considered a closed facility. All other selected prison
facilities participated fully in NIS-3.

Selection of inmates within prisons

A roster of inmates was obtained just prior to the start of
data collection at each facility. Inmates age 15 or younger
and inmates who were released prior to data collection
were deleted from the roster. Eligible inmates within a
facility were placed into one of two strata based on their
ages. Inmates who were ages 16 to 17 (juveniles) were
placed in one stratum and inmates age 18 or older (adults)
were placed in the other. Inmates age 15 or younger were
considered ineligible for the NIS-3.
Selection of adult inmates within prisons

The number of adult inmates sampled in each facility
varied based on six criteria—

 an expected sexual victimization prevalence rate of 4%
 a desired level of precision based on a standard error of
1.75%

 a projected 70% response rate among selected inmates
 a 10% chance among participating inmates of not
receiving the sexual victimization questionnaire

 an adjustment factor of 1.9 to account for the complex
survey design

 the size of the facility.
Each eligible adult inmate was assigned a random number
and sorted in ascending order. Inmates were selected from
the list up to the expected number of inmates determined
by the sampling criteria.
Selection of inmates ages 16 to 17 within prisons

The number of inmates ages 16 to 17 sampled in each facility
varied based on the number who appeared on the roster:

 If fewer than 50 were on the roster, all inmates ages 16 to
17 were selected.

 If between 50 and 149 were on the roster, 75% were
sampled (with a minimum of 50).

 If 150 or more were on the roster, 75% were sampled
(with a minimum of 150).

In cases in which not all inmates ages 16 to 17 were
selected, each eligible inmate ages 16 to 17 was assigned a
random number and sorted in ascending order. Inmates
were selected from the list up to the expected number of
inmates determined by the sampling criteria.

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

33

A total of 74,655 prison inmates were selected. After
selection, 2,233 ineligible inmates were excluded—1,441
(1.9%) were released or transferred to another facility
before interviewing began, 657 (0.9%) were mentally or
physically unable to be interviewed, 10 (0.01%) were age
15 or younger or their age could not be obtained during
the interview process, 56 (0.5%) were selected in error
(i.e., an inmate was incorrectly listed on the facility roster),
21 (0.03%) were only in the facility on weekends, and 47
(0.06%) were on unsupervised work release or only served
time on weekends.
Of all selected eligible prison inmates, 32% refused to
participate in the survey, 0.5% were not available to
be interviewed (e.g., in court, in medical segregation,
determined by the facility to be too violent to be
interviewed, or restricted from participation by another
legal jurisdiction), and 0.5% were not interviewed due
to survey logistics (e.g., language barriers, releases, or
transfers to another facility after interviewing began).
Overall, 43,721 prison inmates participated in the survey,
yielding a response rate of 60%. Approximately 90% of
the participating inmates (38,778) received the sexual
assault survey. (See appendix table 1 for the number of
participating inmates in each prison facility.)
Selection of jail facilities

A sample of 393 jails was drawn to represent the 2,957 jail
facilities identified in the Census of Jail Inmates, 2005, and
the sample was supplemented with information obtained
during the NIS-1 and NIS-2. The 2005 census was a
complete enumeration of all jail jurisdictions, including all
publicly operated and privately operated facilities under
contract to jail authorities. The NIS-3 was restricted to
jails that had six or more inmates on June 30, 2005. Jails
identified as closed or ineligible during the NIS-1 and NIS2 were removed from the NIS-3 frame. Based on estimates
from the Annual Survey of Jails, 2011, the jails in the NIS-3
held an estimated 720,171 inmates age 18 or older and
5,700 inmates ages 16 to 17 on June 30, 2011.
Jail facilities were sequentially sampled with probabilities of
selection proportionate to size (as measured by the number
of inmates held on June 30, 2005).

 Two facilities that were unable to participate in the
NIS-2 were selected with certainty in the NIS-3.

 The measures of size for facilities that participated in

the NIS-1 or NIS-2 were adjusted to give them a lower
probability of selection.

 Facilities with juveniles had their measures of size
adjusted to increase their probability of selection.

 Facilities were stratified such that facilities in each of the

10 largest jail jurisdictions were placed into a stratum.
Within the large jurisdiction stratum, three facilities
were selected from the five largest jurisdictions with
probabilities proportionate to size, and two facilities
were selected from the next five largest jurisdictions with
probabilities proportionate to size.

 All other facilities were placed in a single stratum

and then sorted by region, state, and public or private
operation. Facilities were sampled to ensure that at least
one jail facility in every state was selected. The remaining
jail facilities were selected from each region with
probabilities proportionate to size.

Of the 393 selected jails in the NIS-3, 20 facilities refused to
participate:

 Covington Co. Jail (Alabama)
 Mobile Co. Metro Jail (Alabama)
 Delaware Co. George W. Hill Corr. Fac. (Pennsylvania)
 Montcalm Co. Jail (Michigan)
 Will Co. Adult Det. Fac. (Illinois)
 Northumberland Co. Prison (Pennsylvania)
 Kenosha Co. Pre-Trial Det. Fac. (Wisconsin)
 Carroll Co. Jail (Tennessee)
 Brevard Co. Jail (Florida)
 Pinellas Co. North Division (Florida)
 Hillsborough Co. Falkenburg Road Jail (Florida)
 Paulding Co. Det. Ctr. (Georgia)
 Whitfield Co. Jail (Georgia)
 Marion Co. Jail (Tennessee)
 Sandoval Co. Det. Ctr. (New Mexico)
 Williamson Co. Jail (Texas)
 Montgomery Co. Jail (North Carolina)
 Catahoula Parish Corr. Ctr. (Louisiana)
 Escambia Co. Det. Ctr. (Alabama)
 Orleans Parish House of Det. (Louisiana).
Williamsburg Co. Jail (South Carolina), was excused due
to construction at the facility. In Nassau Co. Corr. Ctr.
(New York), data were collected only among inmates ages
16 to 17 due to lack of space to interview both adults and
juveniles ages 16 to 17.

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12 | May 2013

34

Fourteen facilities were determined to be ineligible: six
had closed, two were considered part of another facility
on the sampling frame, three had fewer than six eligible
inmates, two were facilities containing only unsupervised
work release inmates, and one had active litigation related
to sexual victimization. All other selected jail facilities
participated fully in NIS-3.
Selection of inmates within jails

A roster of inmates was obtained just prior to the start of
data collection at each facility. Inmates age 15 or younger
and inmates who had not been arraigned were removed
from the roster. Eligible inmates within a facility were
placed into one of two stratum based on their age. Inmates
who were ages 16 to 17 (juveniles) were placed in one
stratum and inmates age 18 or older (adults) were placed
in the other. Inmates age 15 or younger were considered
ineligible for the NIS-3.
Selection of adult inmates within jails

The number of adult inmates sampled in each facility varied
based on six criteria:

 an expected prevalence rate of sexual victimization of 3%
 a desired level of precision based on a standard error of
1.4%

 a projected 65% response rate among selected inmates
 a 10% chance among participating inmates of not
receiving the sexual victimization questionnaire

 an adjustment factor of 1.9 to account for the complex
survey design

 a pre-arraignment adjustment factor equal to 1 in

facilities where the status was known for all inmates and
less than 1 in facilities where only the overall proportion
of inmates who were pre-arraigned was known.

Each eligible adult inmate was assigned a random number
and sorted in ascending order. Inmates were selected from
the list up to the expected number of inmates determined
by the sampling criteria.
Due to the dynamic nature of jail populations, a second
roster of inmates was obtained on the first day of data
collection. Eligible adult inmates who appeared on the
second roster but who had not appeared on the initial
roster were identified. These inmates had been arraigned
since the initial roster was created or were newly admitted
to the facility and arraigned. A random sample of these new
inmates was chosen using the same probability of selection
used to sample from the first roster.

Selection of inmates ages 16 to 17 within jails

The number of inmates ages 16 to 17 sampled in each facility
varied based on the number who appeared on the roster:

 If fewer than 50 were on the roster, all inmates ages 16 to
17 were selected.

 If between 50 and 149 were on the roster, 75% were
sampled (with a minimum of 50).

 If 150 or more were on the roster, 75% were sampled
(with a minimum of 150).

In facilities in which not all inmates ages 16 to 17 were
selected, each eligible inmate ages 16 to 17 was assigned a
random number and sorted in ascending order. Inmates
were selected from the list up to the expected number of
inmates determined by the sampling criteria.
As with adult jail inmates, a second roster obtained on the
first day of data collection was used to identify inmates that
had been arraigned since the initial roster was created or
newly admitted. A random sample of these new inmates
was chosen using the same probability of selection used to
sample from the first roster.
A total of 112,594 jail inmates was selected. After selection,
11,342 ineligible inmates were excluded—9,479 (8.4%)
were released or transferred to another facility before
interviewing began, 1,036 (0.8%) were mentally or
physically unable to be interviewed, 25 (0.02%) were age 15
or younger or their age could not be obtained during the
interview process, 296 (0.3%) were selected in error (i.e., an
inmate was incorrectly listed on the facility roster), and
484 (0.4%) were on unsupervised work release or only
served time on weekends.
Of all selected inmates, 22% refused to participate in the
survey, 1.1% were not available to be interviewed (e.g., in
court, in medical segregation, determined by the facility
to be too violent to be interviewed, or restricted from
participation by another legal jurisdiction), and 8% were
not interviewed due to survey logistics (e.g., language
barriers, releases, and transfers to another facility after
interviewing began).
Overall, 61,351 jail inmates participated in the survey,
yielding a response rate of 61%. Approximately 90% of
the participating inmates (54,137) received the sexual
victimization survey. (See appendix table 5 for the number
of participating inmates in each jail facility.)

Selection of special confinement facilities

Weighting and nonresponse adjustments

A sample of 16 special facilities was drawn to represent the
inmate populations in military, Indian country, and ICE
facilities. Five military, six Indian country, and five ICE
facilities were included.

Responses from interviewed inmates were weighted
to provide national-level and facility-level estimates.
Each interviewed inmate was assigned an initial weight
corresponding to the inverse of the probability of selection
within each sampled facility. A series of adjustment factors
was applied to the initial weight to minimize potential bias
due to nonresponse and to provide national estimates.

The military frame came from the military correctional
facilities population report on April 1, 2011. The Indian
country frame came from the BJS report, Jails in Indian
Country, 2009, NCJ 232223, BJS Web, February 2011. The
ICE frame came from the ICE integrated decision support
system on March 21, 2011.
Military, Indian country, and ICE facilities were
sequentially selected with probability proportionate to the
adjusted number of inmates in the facility. The measures of
size (population) were adjusted to reduce the probability of
selection among facilities included in the NIS-2.
Tohono O’odham Adult Detention Facility (Arizona)
refused to participate in the NIS-3. All other selected special
confinement facilities participated fully in the survey.
Selection of inmates in special confinement facilities

For purposes of inmate selection, military facilities were
treated as prisons, and Indian country and ICE facilities
were treated like jails. The assumptions used to determine
the sample size within a prison or jail and the corresponding
selection procedures were used. However, in ICE facilities, a
second sample of newly admitted inmates was not drawn due
to an inability to identify new inmates on the ICE rosters. In
addition, inmates in ICE facilities who did not speak English
or Spanish were defined as ineligible for the study.
Overall, 2,874 inmates were selected, including 910 in
military facilities, 300 in Indian country facilities, and
1,664 in ICE facilities. After selection, 163 ineligible
inmates were excluded—28 (1.0%) were released or
transferred to another facility before interviewing began,
46 (1.1%) were mentally or physically unable to be
interviewed, 3 (0.1%) were sampled in error, 2 (0.1%) were
inmates in custody only on the weekend, and 84 (3.0%) in
ICE facilities did not speak English or Spanish.
Overall, 1,272 inmates participated in the survey (605 in
military, 192 in Indian country, and 663 in ICE facilities),
yielding a response rate of 68% in military, 68% in Indian
country, and 43% in ICE facilities. Approximately 90%
of the participating inmates (1,379) received the sexual
victimization survey (539 in military, 160 in Indian
country, and 573 in ICE facilities). (See appendix table 9
for the number of participating inmates in each special
confinement facility.)

Bias occurs when the estimated prevalence is different
from the actual prevalence for a given facility. In each
facility, bias could result if the random sample of inmates
did not accurately represent the facility population. Bias
could also result if the nonrespondents were different
from the respondents. Post-stratification and nonresponse
adjustments were made to the data to compensate for these
two possibilities. These adjustments included—

 calibration of the weights of the responding inmates

within each facility so that the estimates accurately
reflected the facility’s entire population in terms
of known demographic characteristics. These
characteristics included distributions by inmate age, sex,
race, sentence length, and time since admission. This
adjustment ensured that the estimates better reflected
the entire population of the facility and not just the
inmates who were randomly sampled.

 calibration of the weights so that the weight from a non-

responding inmate was assigned to a responding inmate
with similar demographic characteristics. This adjustment
ensured that the estimates accurately reflected the full
sample, rather than only the inmates who responded.

For each inmate, these adjustments were based on a
generalized exponential model, developed by Folsom
and Singh, and applied to the sexual victimization survey
respondents.6
A final ratio adjustment to each inmate weight was made
to provide national-level estimates for the total number of
inmates age 18 or older and the total number of inmates
ages 16 to 17 who were held in jails at midyear 2011
or in prison at yearend 2011. These ratios represented
the estimated number of inmates by sex (from BJS’s
2011 Annual Survey of Jails and 2011 National Prisoner
Statistics) divided by the number of inmates by sex for
adults and overall for juvenile inmates ages 16 to 17 in the
NIS-3, after calibration for sampling and nonresponse.
The national estimates for state prisons were 1,154,600

adult males, 83,400 adult females, and 1,700 juveniles
ages 16 to 17; for federal prisons, 190,600 adult males and
13,200 adult females (there were no juveniles ages 16 to
17 in federal custody); and for jails (with an average daily
population of six or more inmates), 628,620 adult males,
91,551 adult females, and 5,700 juveniles ages 16 to 17.
Final ratio adjustments were not applied to inmate
weights in military, Indian country, and ICE facilities.
Estimates for special confinement facilities were made at
the facility level only.

analysis, rather than provide the detailed estimates for
every standard error, differences in the estimates of sexual
victimization for subgroups in these tables have been tested
and notated for significance at the 95%-level of confidence.
For example, the difference in the rate of inmate-on-inmate
sexual victimization among female prison inmates (6.9%)
compared to male prison inmates (1.7%) is statistically
significant at the 95%-level of confidence (table 7). In
all tables providing detailed comparisons, statistically
significant differences at the 95%-level of confidence or
greater have been designated with two asterisks (**).

Standard errors and tests of significance

The NIS-3 is statistically unable to provide an exact
ranking for all facilities as required under PREA. As with
any survey, the NIS estimates are subject to error arising
from the fact that they are based on a sample rather than a
complete enumeration. Within each facility, the estimated
sampling error varies by the size of the estimate, the
number of completed interviews, and the size of the facility.
A common way to express this sampling variability is to
construct a 95%-confidence interval around each survey
estimate. Typically, multiplying the standard error by 1.96
and then adding or subtracting the result from the estimate
produces the confidence interval. This interval expresses
the range of values that could result among 95% of the
different samples that could be drawn.
For small samples and estimates close to 0%, as is the case
with sexual victimization in most prisons and jails, the
use of the standard error to construct the 95%-confidence
interval may not be reliable. An alternative developed
by Wilson has been shown to perform better than the
traditional method when constructing a confidence
interval. (See footnote 1 on page 10.) This method produces
an asymmetrical confidence interval around the facility
estimates in which the lower bound is constrained to be
greater than or equal to 0%. It also provides confidence
intervals for facilities in which the survey estimates are
zero (but other similarly conducted surveys could yield
non-zero estimates). (See tables 3, 4, 5, and 6 and appendix
tables 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.)
When applied to large samples, the traditional and the
Wilson confidence intervals are nearly identical. As a result,
the tables that show national estimates display traditional
standard errors. (See tables 1 and 2.) The traditional
standard errors have also been used to compare estimates
of sexual victimization among selected groups of inmates
that have been defined by type of incident, demographic
subgroup, sexual history, and criminal justice status. (See
tables 7 through 9 and 11 through 20.) To facilitate the

Exposure period

To calculate comparative rates of sexual victimization,
respondents were asked to provide the most recent date of
admission to the current facility. If the date of admission
was at least 12 months prior to the date of the interview,
inmates were asked questions related to their experiences
during the past 12 months. If the admission date was less
than 12 months prior to the interview, inmates were asked
about their experiences since they had arrived at the facility.
The average exposure period of inmates participating in the
sexual victimization survey was—

 8.8 months for federal prisoners
 8.1 months for adult state prisoners
 5.5 months for juveniles ages 16 to 17 in state prisons
 3.7 months for jail inmates
 7.6 months for inmates in military facilities
 2.8 months for inmates in ICE facilities
 2.0 months for inmates in Indian country facilities.
Measurement of sexual victimization

The survey of sexual victimization relied on inmates
reporting their direct experiences, rather than inmates
reporting on the experiences of other inmates. Questions
related to inmate-on-inmate sexual activity were
asked separately from questions related to staff sexual
misconduct. (For specific survey questions, see appendices
1 and 2.)
The ACASI survey began with a series of questions that
screened for specific sexual activities without restriction,
including both wanted and unwanted sex and sexual
contacts with other inmates. To fully measure all sexual
activities, questions related to the touching of body parts in
a sexual way were followed by questions related to manual
stimulation and questions related to acts involving oral,

anal, and vaginal sex. The nature of coercion (including use
of physical force, pressure, and other forms of coercion)
was measured for each type of reported sexual activity.
ACASI survey items related to staff sexual misconduct were
asked in a different order. Inmates were first asked about
being pressured or being made to feel they had to have
sex or sexual contact with the staff and then asked about
being physically forced. In addition, inmates were asked
if any facility staff had offered favors or special privileges
in exchange for sex. Finally, inmates were asked if they
willingly had sex or sexual contact with staff. All reports of
sex or sexual contact between an inmate and facility staff,
regardless of the level of coercion, were classified as staff
sexual misconduct.
The ACASI survey included additional questions related
to both inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization and staff
sexual misconduct. These questions, known as latent class
measures, were included to assess the reliability of the
survey questionnaire. After being asked detailed questions,
all inmates were asked a series of general questions to
determine if they had experienced any type of unwanted
sex or sexual contact with another inmate or had any sex or
sexual contact with staff. (See appendix 3.)
The entire ACASI questionnaire (listed as the National
Inmate Survey-3) and the shorter paper and pencil survey
form (PAPI) are available on the BJS website at www.bjs.gov.
Interviews checked for inconsistent response patterns

Once data collection was completed, individual response
patterns were assessed to identify interviewer error,
interviews that had been completed in too short of
time, and incomplete interviews. In 141 interviews, the
interviewers administered sex-specific survey items
inconsistent with the sex of the inmate. In 693 interviews,
the inmate failed to complete enough questions to be
considered a completed interview. These interviews were
excluded from the calculations of sexual victimization.
Interviews were also examined for inconsistent response
patterns. A list of 31 indicators were developed based
on inmate characteristics (e.g., education, age, marital
status, and time since admission) and items related to
victimization (e.g., number of times, injuries, willing
contact with staff, sex of staff perpetrator, and reporting
of victimization). Indicators compared responses to initial
questions with responses to detailed follow-up questions.
The indicators were identified as unlikely, highly unlikely,
or extremely unlikely.

Of the 31 indicators, 21 were deemed unlikely, 7 were
deemed highly unlikely, and 3 were deemed extremely
unlikely. An example of an unlikely indicator is when
a respondent indicated victimization occurred, but
responded no to all types of victimization. An example of
a highly unlikely indicator is when a responded indicated
that the first time a victimization occurred was before
the inmate was admitted to the facility. An example of an
extremely unlikely indicator is if the inmate responded yes
to 12 or more of the sex-specific victimization items and
indicated being victimized 11 or more times to both staff
sexual misconduct and inmate-on-inmate victimization.
If any of the extremely unlikely indicators were triggered
and at least one highly unlikely indicator or four or more
unlikely indicators were triggered, the inmate’s data were
removed.
The amount of time the interview took was also reviewed.
Inmates whose average time for the sexual victimization
items was less than 2 seconds per item and inmates
whose total time was less than 10 minutes for English
respondents and less than 12 minutes for Spanish
respondents had their data removed.
Overall, the results revealed very high levels of consistency
in survey responses. Of the 92,689 respondents to the
sexual victimization survey, 87 triggered one extremely
highly unlikely flag. Of these, 20 met the additional
criteria for removal. In addition, data for 12 respondents
were removed because their interviews did not meet the
length of interview criteria. Among the 32 cases that
were removed, 1 respondent was in a federal facility, 13
respondents were in state prisons (2 were juveniles ages 16
to 17), and 18 respondents were in jails. These 32 inmates
came from separate facilities (i.e., only one inmate from
each of these facilities was removed) and were excluded
from the calculation of sexual victimization.
Calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI is a measurement of body fat, based on height and
weight, that applies to both men and women ages 18 to 65.
BMI can be used to determine if a person is underweight
(18.5 or less), normal (18.5 to 24.9), overweight (25 to 29.9),
obese (30 to 39.9), or morbidly obese (40 or greater). The
calculation in the NIS-3 was based on the following formula
provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
BMI = weight (pounds) / [height (inches)]2 x 703.

Screening for serious psychological distress (SPD) and
history of mental health problems

The NIS-3 included four items to measure the prevalence
of any problems with emotions, nerves, or mental health an
inmate may have had in the past:
R24. Have you ever been told by a mental health professional,
such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, that you had…
a.  manic depression, a bipolar disorder or mania?
b.  a depressive disorder?
c.  schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder?
d.  post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
e.  another anxiety disorder, such as panic disorder or
obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)?
f.  a personality disorder, such as antisocial or
borderline personality?
g.  a mental or emotional condition other than those
listed above?
R27. During the 12 months before you were admitted to
[this facility / any facility to serve time on your current
sentence], did you stay overnight or longer in any type of
hospital or other facility to receive treatment or counseling
for problems you were having with your emotions, nerves,
or mental health?
R30. At the time of the offense for which you are currently
[being held / serving time], were you taking prescription
medicine for any problem you were having with your
emotions, nerves, or mental health?
R33. Have you ever received counseling or therapy from a
trained professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist,
social worker, or nurse, for any problem you were having
with your emotions, nerves, or mental health?
Development of the K6

The K6 is a six-item scale designed to provide rapid
assessment of the prevalence of serious psychological
distress (SPD) in population surveys. (See page 25 for
the six items and response categories.) Developed by
Kessler and colleagues, the K6 has become widely used
in epidemiological surveys throughout the world. It
is included in three general population surveys in the
U.S.—the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
and the National Health Interview Survey (conducted

by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and
the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (conducted
by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration).
The K6 has been recognized as a broad screener rather
than a specific screener for any one mental disorder.
Kessler and others have shown that the K6 outcomes are
consistent with blinded clinical diagnoses of SPD in general
population samples. Moreover, their statistical analyses of
alternative scoring rules for the sex items have shown the
unweighted sum (based on codes 0 to 4, with a total sum
ranging from 0 to 24) to be virtually identical to sums using
other weighting schemes. Although its use under PREA
is to determine risk related to SPD and the incidence of
sexual victimization, more specific screening scales could
have been used to determine if sexual victimization was
associated with particular kinds of mental disorder.
Prior to 2004, the K6 was used in the National Survey
on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to estimate the
prevalence of serious mental illness. In 2008, following the
recommendation of a technical advisory group, convened
by the Center for Mental Health Services at the SAMHSA,
NSDUH supplemented the K6 scale with questions on
functional impairment. Functional impairment is defined
as difficulties that substantially interfere with or limit role
functioning in one or more major life activities, including
basic living skills; instrumental living skills; and functioning
in social, family, and vocational or educational contexts.7
However, the NIS-3 did not include any items related to
functional impairment, since past measures and scales are
not appropriate for inmates held in prisons or jails.
The use of K6 for predicting serious mental illness has
never been validated in a correctional setting. It may be
expected that some inmates feel nervous, hopeless, restless
or fidgety, sad or depressed, or worthless due to their
confinement rather than due to an underlying mental
health disorder. Consequently, the exact cut point for
serious psychological distress may be higher than 13 among
inmates than among persons in the general population.
However, the link between SPD and sexual victimization
rates remains strong, regardless of the exact cut point in
the K6 scale. For example, had the cut point for serious
psychological distress in the NIS been raised to 17 (from
13), inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization rates would
have increased to 7.6% among prison inmates and 4.4%

among jail inmates, and staff sexual misconduct rates
would have increased to 7.2% among prison inmates and
4.4% among jail inmates.
Imputation of missing data

SPD status was determined by the sum of the responses to
the K6 items. Since some inmates did not respond to all six
items, inclusion and imputation criteria were developed.
Only respondents who answered at least four of the K6
items were included in the estimates of SPD status.
A missing K6 item was imputed in a nearest neighbor
approach (i.e., the donor value for the imputed value was
the nearest previous nonmissing K6 response). If the
nearest K6 item was missing, then the value from the first
nonmissing response preceding the missing item was used
as the donor. For example, if item 2 was not answered, but
item 1 was answered, then the value from the first K6 item
was used as the value for the selected K6 item. If the first
K6 item was missing, then the first nonmissing value that
followed was used as the donor. Since only respondents
who answered at least four of the K6 items were included in
the analysis, the donor response was never more than two
items away from the item with the missing response.

Abusive sexual contacts only—unwanted contacts with
another inmate or any contacts with staff that involved
touching of the inmate’s buttocks, thigh, penis, breasts, or
vagina in a sexual way.
Unwilling activity—incidents of unwanted sexual contacts
with another inmate or staff.
Willing activity—incidents of willing sexual contacts with
staff. These contacts are characterized as willing by the
reporting inmates; however, all sexual contacts between
inmates and staff are legally nonconsensual.
Staff sexual misconduct—includes all incidents of willing
and unwilling sexual contact with facility staff and all
incidents of sexual activity that involved oral, anal, vaginal
penetration, hand jobs, blow jobs, and other sexual acts
with facility staff.

aIncludes all types of sexual victimization, including oral, anal, or vaginal penetration, hand jobs, touching of the inmate’s butt, thighs, penis, breasts, or vagina in a sexual way, and other
sexual acts occurring in the past 12 months, or since admission to the facility, if shorter.
bIndicates that different samples in the same facility would yield prevalence rates falling between the lower and upper bound estimates 95 out of 100 times.
cWeights were applied so that inmates who responded accurately reflected the entire population of each facility on select characteristics, including age, sex, race, time served, and
sentence length. (See Methodology.)
dFemale facility.

Note: Detail may sum to more than total victimization rate because victims may have reported both inmate-on-inmate and staff-on-inmate sexual victimization.
aIncludes all types of sexual victimization, including oral, anal, or vaginal penetration, hand jobs, touching of the inmate’s butt, thighs, penis, breasts, or vagina in a sexual way, and other
sexual acts occurring in the past 12 months or since admission to the facility, if shorter.
bIndicates that different samples in the same facility would yield prevalence rates falling between the lower and upper bound estimates 95 out of 100 times.
cWeights were applied so that inmates who responded accurately reflected the entire population of each facility on select characteristics, including age, sex, race, sentence length, and
time served. (See Methodology.)
dFemale facility.
eFacility housed both males and females; only males were sampled at this facility.
fPrivately operated facility.
