Sexual Violence Reported
by Correctional Authorities, 2006
By Allen J. Beck, Ph.D.
Paige M. Harrison, BJS Statisticians
and Devon B. Adams, Policy Analyst
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-79)
requires the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to develop
new national data collections on the incidence and prevalence of sexual violence within correctional facilities. This
report fulfills the requirement under Sec. 4 (c)(1) of the Act
for submission of an annual report on the activities of BJS
with respect to prison rape.
Between January 1 and June 30, 2007, BJS completed the
third annual national survey of administrative records in
adult correctional facilities, covering calendar year 2006.
Although the results were limited to incidents reported to
correctional officials, the survey provides an understanding
of what officials know, based on the number of reported
allegations, and the outcomes of follow-up investigations.1
By comparing results of the 2006 survey with those from
2004 and 2005, BJS is able to assess trends in sexual violence for the first time since the Act was passed.
Administrative records surveys are one part of BJS’s multimeasure, multi-mode implementation strategy. During
2006, BJS completed development and testing of survey
methodologies that rely on reports of victimization provided
directly by prison and jail inmates, former inmates, and
youth held in juvenile facilities. These methodologies rely
on self-administered surveys that offer anonymity to victims
of sexual violence to report their experiences. Using Audio
Computer-Assisted Self-Interview procedures, respondents
interact with a computer-administered questionnaire using
a touch-screen and follow audio instructions delivered via
headphones. (See box on page 2 for a status report and
national implementation schedule.)

A survey of State-operated juvenile systems and privately or locally operated juvenile facilities was also conducted for 2006. Results from the 2005
and 2006 juvenile surveys will be published in a separate report.

The 2006 administrative records survey provides the basis
for the annual statistical review required under the Act. The
survey included all Federal and State prison systems and
facilities operated by the U.S. military and Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. The survey also included representative samples of jail jurisdictions, privately operated adult
prisons and jails, and jails in Indian country. Altogether, the
administrative survey included facilities housing more than
1.8 million inmates, or 81% of all inmates held in adult facilities in 2006. (See Methodology for detailed sampling
description.)
As with previous administrative records surveys, the 2006
survey results should not be used to rank systems or facilities. Given the absence of uniform reporting, caution is
necessary for accurate interpretation of the survey results.
Higher or lower counts among facilities may reflect variations in definitions, reporting capacities, and procedures for
recording allegations as opposed to differences in the
underlying incidence of sexual violence.
In 2004 BJS developed uniform definitions of sexual violence. Incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence were
classified as either nonconsensual sexual acts (the most
serious violent forms of sexual assault) or abusive sexual
contacts (less serious, but unwanted). Incidents involving
staff were separated into staff sexual misconduct (any act
of a sexual nature directed toward an inmate) or staff sexual harassment (repeated verbal statements of a sexual
nature to an inmate). For this report, all such incidents are
considered sexual violence. (See Methodology for detailed
definitions.)
Detailed tabulations of the survey results by system and
sampled facility are presented in Appendix tables 1a – 4b,
available on the BJS web site at <http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/
bjs/pub/pdf/svrca06.pdf>.

Allegations of sexual violence rose during 2006
Reports of sexual violence varied across systems and sampled facilities, with every State prison system except Alaska
and New Mexico reporting at least one allegation of sexual
violence. Among the 344 sampled local jail jurisdictions
participating in the survey, 161 (47%) reported an allegation. About 52% of the 46 sampled privately operated prisons and jails reported at least one allegation.

The 2006 survey recorded 5,605 allegations of sexual violence. Taking into account weights for sampled facilities,
the estimated total number of allegations for the Nation was
6,528. Since the Prison Rape Elimination Act was passed
in 2003, the estimated number of allegations nationwide
has risen by 21% (5,386 in 2004; 6,241 in 2005). Some of
the increase may have resulted from adoption of BJS definitions and improved reporting by correctional authorities.

Collection of victim self-report of sexual violence in prisons and jails underway
BJS is working toward full implementation of the Prison
Rape Elimination Act. As of June 30, 2007, BJS and its
data collection agents had completed all phases of
development and testing. BJS has entered into
cooperative agreements to collect reports of sexual
violence directly from inmates in prisons and jails,
former State prison inmates, and youth in State juvenile
facilities. BJS has worked extensively with 1. Research Triangle International (RTI) (Raleigh, NC)
to collect data from inmates in prisons and jails;
2. Westat, Inc. (Rockville, MD) to collect data from
adjuducated youth in State and local juvenile facilities;
3. National Opinion Research Center (NORC)
(Chicago, IL) to collect data from State inmates under
active parole supervision.
Though underlying survey methodology and logistical
procedures differ with each of these data collections,
the measurement strategies are consistent. The
surveys consist of an Audio Computer-Assisted SelfInterview (ACASI) in which respondents interact with a
computer-administered questionnaire using a touchscreen and follow audio instructions delivered via
headphones. The use of ACASI is expected to
overcome many limitations of previous research.
The following work has been completed or is
underway:
Prison and jail inmates
• Implementation of the National Inmate Survey (NIS)
began in April 2007 in 148 prisons and 302 jails. Data
collection will continue through December 2007, with
about 90,000 completed interviews anticipated.
• On August 30, 2007, BJS will consult with corrections
administrators and experts in statistical scaling to discuss
various measures of sexual violence by which to rank
facilities.

2 Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2006

• Rankings of prison facilities, as required under the Act,
are expected in November 2007; jail rankings are expected
shortly after the completion of the data collection.
Youth in custody
• Testing of the National Survey of Youth in Custody
(NSYC) was completed in June 2007. The test involved 12
juvenile facilities in 6 States with more than 750 completed
interviews.
• Results of the testing and plans for implementation will be
presented to juvenile administrators, researchers, and
other stakeholders at a national workshop on August 28,
2007.
• National implementation is expected in early 2008, pending approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). When fully implemented, the NSYC will include
about 15,000 adjudicated youth in a sample of 208 Stateoperated facilities and 48 large non-State facilities (that had
an average daily population of 90 or more youth during
2005).
Former State prisoners
• The Former Prisoner Survey (FPS) was tested in 16
parole offices with 788 former inmates on active parole
supervision. In May 2007, the collection was submitted to
OMB for review.
• The survey will provide a national estimate of the incidence and prevalence of sexual vicitimization based on
reports of former State prison inmates. Data will be collected on the totality of the prior term of incarceration,
including any time in a police lockup, local jail, State prison,
or community correctional facility prior to final discharge.
• National implementation will begin in late 2007, pending
OMB approval. When fully implemented the survey will
include about 16,500 former inmates in a sample of 285
parole offices.

Expressed as rates, there were 2.91 allegations of sexual
violence per 1,000 inmates held in prison, jail, and other
adult correctional facilities in 2006, up from 2.46 per 1,000
inmates in 2004. Overall, the rate in State prisons (3.75 per
1,000) was higher than the rate in local jails (2.05 per
1,000) (table 1).
About 36% of the reported allegations of sexual violence in
2006 involved staff sexual misconduct; 34%, inmate-oninmate nonconsensual sexual acts; 17%, staff sexual
harassment; and 13%, inmate-on-inmate abusive sexual
contacts. These percentages were nearly unchanged from
those reported in 2005. Correctional authorities reported

Upon investigation, most allegations were
unsubstantiated or unfounded
The most common outcome of investigations was a determination that the evidence was insufficient to show whether
the alleged incident occurred. In 2006 more than half of all
allegations (55%) were unsubstantiated; more than a quarter (29%) were unfounded (determined not to have
occurred). About a sixth of all allegations (17%) were substantiated. Previous surveys recorded similar outcomes.
Based on completed investigations, allegations of staff sexual harassment and inmate-on-inmate nonconsensual sexual acts were less likely to have been substantiated than
other types of allegations (table 2). During 2006, 7% of allegations of staff sexual harassment and 14% of inmate-oninmate nonconsensual sexual acts were substantiated,
compared to 19% of the allegations of inmate-on-inmate
abusive sexual contacts and 25% of the allegations of staff
sexual misconduct.

Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2006

3

Overall, 967 incidents of sexual violence were substantiated in 2006, compared to 885 in 2005 (table 3). Relative to
the number of inmates, the rate of substantiated incidents
of sexual violence in 2006 was 4.3 per 10,000 inmates,
nearly unchanged from the 4.0 per 10,000 inmates
recorded in 2005. Rates were lowest in Federal prisons
and privately operated prisons (fewer than 1 in 10,000).
Rates of substantiated incidents in State prisons, local jail
jurisdictions, and privately operated jails were 4 to 5 times
higher. Substantiated incidents were too few to provide reliable estimates for other types of facilities.
Surveys reveal consistent patterns of sexual violence
in correctional facilities
In 2005 and 2006, correctional authorities were asked to
provide detailed information on all substantiated incidents
of sexual violence on a separate incident form. Authorities
reported information on the circumstances of each incident,
characteristics of victims and perpetrators, type of pressure
or physical force, sanctions imposed, and victim assistance. The two surveys provide a profile of victims and perpetrators and reveal consistent patterns among the substantiated incidents.
Data provided on incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence revealed that —
• More than one inmate was reported to have been victimized in 8% of the incidents in 2006 and 4% of those in 2005
(table 4).
• More than one perpetrator was involved in 10% of the
incidents in 2006 and 7% of those in 2005.
• Males constituted 82% of the victims and 85% of the perpetrators in 2006, compared to 88% of the victims and 91%
of the perpetrators in 2005.
• In both years, victims were on average younger than perpetrators. In 2006, 44% of victims were age 24 or younger,
while 81% of perpetrators were age 25 or older.

4 Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2006

• In 2006 whites made up 72% of the victims; blacks, 16%;
and Hispanics, 9%. Among perpetrators, 39% were white;
49% black; and 10% Hispanics. Similar distributions were
observed in 2005.
• In both years at least half of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence was interracial: 6% of incidents in 2006 involved a
white perpetrator and a non-white victim; 35%, a black perpetrator and a non-black victim; and 8%, a Hispanic perpetrator and a non-Hispanic victim (not shown in table).

Most incidents of sexual violence among inmates
involve force or threat of force and occur in the
victim’s cell, in the evening

injured rose, from 15% in 2005 to 20% in 2006. Anal or rectal tearing was reported at nearly the same levels (5% in
2006 and 6% in 2005).

Correctional authorities reported that physical force or
threat of force was used in more than half of all substantiated incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence (table
5). In 21% of the incidents in 2006, no force was used or
threatened. In 30% of incidents, victims were talked into it.
In 7% of incidents, victims were offered protection, bribed,
or blackmailed.

Incidents of sexual violence among inmates occurred most
often in a victim’s cell or dormitory (totaling more than 70%
in both years). By contrast, 17% of the incidents in 2006
and 21% of the incidents in 2005 occurred in a common
area, such as a shower or dayroom. In 6% of the incidents
in 2006 and 9% in 2005, the location was a program service area, such as a storage room, hallway, laundry, cafeteria, kitchen, or workshop.

Force or the threat of force was more common among incidents of nonconsensual sexual acts (67%) than among
incidents of abusive sexual contact (44%). The victim was
held down or restrained in 38% of the incidents of nonconsensual sexual acts during 2006. In 18% of these incidents,
the victim was physically harmed or injured. Although abusive sexual contacts are typically less serious forms of
assault, the victim was held down or restrained in 28% of
the incidents, and the victim was physically harmed or
injured in 10% of the incidents (not shown in table).
Overall, the use or threat of force was more prevalent
among incidents reported in 2006 (58%) than in 2005
(51%). In addition, the proportion of victims who were

Sexual violence among inmates was more common in the
evening (between 6 p.m. and midnight) than at any other
time of the day, exceeding 40% of all incidents in both surveys. In 2005 it was least common between midnight and 6
a.m. (18%); in 2006 it was least common between 6 a.m.
and noon (20%).
Incidents of sexual violence among inmates, when
reported, are typically reported by a victim or another
inmate and not by a correctional officer or other staff. In
2006, 83% of the substantiated incidents of inmate sexual
violence were reported by the victim or another inmate; in
2005, 91%.

Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2006

Most victims experienced a change in their housing;
most inmate perpetrators received solitary
confinement

The sexual relationship “appeared to be willing” in
57% of incidents of staff sexual misconduct and
harassment

The most common response to a reported incident of sexual violence among inmates was to place the victim in
administrative segregation or protective custody and to
move the perpetrator to solitary confinement or other higher
level of custody. Among victims of inmate sexual violence
reported in the 2006 survey, 40% were placed in administrative segregation or protective custody; 13% were placed
in a medical unit; and 16% were transferred to another
facility (not shown in table). Nearly a quarter (24%) experienced no change in their housing or custody level. Among
victims in the 2005 survey, nearly the same actions had
been taken; a slightly higher percent (32%) had experienced no change in housing.

Correctional authorities also reported detailed data on 544
substantiated incidents of staff sexual misconduct and
harassment (up from 344 in 2005). To address concerns
about the reporting and interpretation of data in the 2005
survey, BJS changed the item related to the nature of the
incidents in 2006. The option “Romantic” was replaced by
“Sexual relationship between inmate and staff appeared to
be willing.” The options “Other” and “Level of coercion
unknown” were added. In addition, the options were reordered from most to least coercive. (See Methodology for
further details.)

Inmate perpetrators were moved to solitary confinement in
78% of the incidents of sexual violence in 2006, compared
to 71% in 2005 (table 6). Perpetrators of the most serious
incidents, nonconsensual sexual acts, were the most likely
to receive solitary confinement (81% in 2006, 72% in
2005).
Legal sanctions, including arrest, referral for prosecution,
or a new sentence, were imposed on perpetrators in 41%
of the incidents in 2006 and 51% of the incidents in 2005.
This drop was attributed to a decline in legal sanctions
imposed on perpetrators of abusive sexual contacts (39%
in 2005; 18% in 2006).
In addition, perpetrators in 2006 received a combination of
other sanctions, including confinement to their cell or room
(16%), loss of privileges (20%), placement in a higher custody level (22%), and transfer to another facility (22%).
These types of sanctions were imposed in 2005 at similar
rates, except for confinement to their cell or room (28%).

Though these changes were introduced in 2006, the findings remained similar to those reported in 2005.
• The sexual relationship “appeared to be willing” in 57% of
incidents in 2006 (table 7). In comparison, the relationship
was classified as “romantic” in 68% of the incidents in
2005.
• Physical force, abuse of power, or pressure was involved
in 7% of the incidents in 2006, compared to 15% of the incidents in 2005.
• A third of the incidents in 2006 involved other forms of
assault, including sexual harassment (15%), indecent
exposure/invasion of privacy (9%), and unwanted touching
for sexual gratification (5%).
• In 12% of the incidents in 2006, correctional authorities
reported the “level of coercion unknown.”

Female staff more frequently implicated in sexual
misconduct in prisons; male staff in local jails
In the 2006 survey, characteristics of victims and perpetrators of staff sexual misconduct and harassment differed by
type of facility:
• In State and Federal prisons, 65% of inmate victims of
staff sexual misconduct and harassment were male,
while 58% of staff perpetrators were female (tables 9
and 10).
• In local jails, 80% of victims were female, while 79% of
perpetrators were male.
• 49% of staff perpetrators in prisons were age 40 or older,
while 65% of victims were under age 35.
• 56% of staff perpetrators in jails were age 40 or older,
while 86% of victims were under age 35.
• Among staff perpetrators in prisons and jails, 71% were
white; 20%, black; and 7%, Hispanic. Among inmate victims, 66% were white; 23%, black; and 8%, Hispanic.
• A correctional officer was identified as the perpetrator in
54% of incidents in prisons, and in 98% of incidents in
jails (table 11).
• A contract employee was involved in 17% of the incidents in prisons and in 2% of those in jails.

Three-quarters of staff perpetrators in 2006 lost their
jobs; 56% were arrested or referred for prosecution
Correctional authorities indicated that staff had been discharged or resigned in 77% of substantiated incidents in
2006, compared to 82% in 2005 (table 12). Staff had also
been arrested or referred for prosecution in 56% of incidents (compared to 45% of incidents in 2005). Approximately 10% of staff perpetrators in 2006 were disciplined,
transferred or demoted, compared to 17% in 2005.
Among the multiple types of sanctions imposed on staff
perpetrators during 2006, discharge or resignation was the
most common, constituting 79% of incidents in prisons and
74% of those in jails. Jail staff were more likely than prison
staff to be arrested or prosecuted (73% versus 43%).

Half of inmates involved in staff sexual misconduct
were transferred or placed in segregation
Correctional authorities indicated that the victims of staff
sexual misconduct or harassment during 2006 were often
transferred to another facility (31%) or placed in administrative segregation or protective custody (25%). Inmate victims had been transferred to another facility in 48% of the
incidents in local jails and in 19% of the incidents in State
and Federal prisons. Victims were less likely to have been
moved to administrative segregation or protective custody
when the incident occurred in a jail (19%) than in a prison
(28%).
In most incidents of staff sexual misconduct or harassment
(76%), victims received no medical followup, counseling or
mental health treatment. Victims were given a medical
examination in 6% of the incidents in prisons and jails.
They were provided counseling or mental health treatment
in 12% of the incidents.

Methodology
Measures of sexual violence
In 2004 BJS developed uniform definitions of sexual violence. All incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence
involve sexual contacts with any person without his or her
consent, or with a person who is unable to consent or
refuse. The most serious incidents, nonconsensual sexual
acts, include:
• Contact between the penis and the vagina or the penis
and the anus including penetration, however slight; or
• Contact between the mouth and the penis, vagina, or
anus; or
• Penetration of the anal or genital opening of another
person by a hand, finger, or other object.
The less serious incidents, abusive sexual contacts,
include:
• Intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or
buttocks of any person.
• Incidents in which the intention is to sexually exploit
(rather than to only harm or debilitate).
Incidents of staff-with-inmate sexual violence are separated
into two categories.
Staff sexual misconduct includes any behavior or act of a
sexual nature, either consensual or nonconsensual,
directed toward an inmate by an employee, volunteer,
official visitor, or agency representative. Such acts include:
• Intentional touching of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast,
inner thigh, or buttocks with the intent to abuse, arouse,
or gratify sexual desire; or
• Completed, attempted, threatened, or requested sexual
acts; or
• Occurrences of indecent exposure, invasion of privacy,
or staff voyeurism for sexual gratification.
Staff sexual harassment involves repeated verbal statements or comments of a sexual nature to an inmate by an
employee, volunteer, official visitor, or agency representative. Such statements include demeaning references to
gender or derogatory comments about body or clothing; or
profane or obscene language or gestures.
Since BJS first developed these definitions, correctional
authorities have significantly enhanced their abilities to
report uniform data on sexual violence. Authorities in 42
State and Federal prison systems were able to report incidents of abusive sexual contacts separately, as defined in
the 2006 survey. Only two States limited reports to substantiated incidents.

Sexual Violence Reported by Correctional Authorities, 2006

9

Most prison systems (44) were able to report data on staff
sexual misconduct using survey definitions. Five systems
were unable to separate sexual harassment from misconduct. One system did not record staff sexual harassment in
a central database.
Jail authorities were less likely than prison authorities to
meet survey definitions. More than a third of the jail jurisdictions were unable to separate abusive sexual contacts from
the more serious nonconsensual sexual acts; a quarter
were unable to report staff sexual harassment separately
from staff sexual misconduct.
Sampling procedures
The 2006 Survey of Sexual Violence was based on seven
separate samples, corresponding to the different facilities
covered under the Act. The following samples were drawn:
1. The survey included all 50 State adult prison systems
and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Prison administrators
were directed to report only on incidents of sexual violence
that occurred within publicly operated adult facilities.
2. A sample of 41 privately operated prison facilities was
drawn to produce a 10% sample of the 408 private prisons
identified in the 2005 Census of State and Federal Adult
Correctional Facilities. Facilities were ranked by average
daily population (ADP) in the 12-month period ending June
30, 2005. Four facilities with an ADP of more than 2,005
inmates were selected with certainty due to their size. The
remaining facilities were sorted by region and ADP within
region and then sampled systematically with a probability
proportional to their size.
3. A sample of 350 publicly operated jail facilities was
selected based on data reported in the 2005 Census of Jail
Inmates.
Jail jurisdictions were sorted into five strata based on ADP
during the 12-month period ending June 30, 2005, and
sampled systematically to produce a representative
national sample. In 2006 the second-largest jail jurisdiction
in each State was selected from stratum 1 to avoid selecting with certainty the same jurisdiction as in 2005. (In previous surveys the 46 largest jails in each State were
selected.)
An additional 61 jail jurisdictions (forming stratum 2) were
selected with certainty due to size (an ADP of 1,500
inmates or more).
The remaining 2,813 jail jurisdictions in the 2005 census
were then grouped into 3 strata: stratum 3 contained 1,599
jails with an ADP of 85 inmates or fewer; stratum 4 included
785 jails with an ADP of 86 to 283 inmates; and stratum 5
included 429 jails with an ADP of 284 to 1,499 inmates. Jail
jurisdictions in these 3 strata were selected systematically
with probabilities proportionate to their size, resulting in 46
selections from stratum 3, 52 from stratum 4, and 145 from
stratum 5.

Of the 350 selected jail jurisdictions, 5 did not respond to
the survey:
Rockdale County, GA
Beaver County, PA
Lycoming County, PA
Greenville County, SC
Ellis County, TX
One of the facilities closed in 2006:
Crossville City, AL
4. A sample of 5 privately operated jails was also selected
based on data reported in the 2005 Census of Jail Inmates.
The 42 private facilities were sorted by region, State, and
ADP. Facilities were systematically sampled with probabilities proportionate to size.
5. Three additional samples of other correctional facilities
were drawn to represent:
a) jails in Indian Country (10 facilities holding adult and
juvenile inmates were selected from a total of 68 based on
the ADP during 2004);
b) military-operated facilities (all 59 facilities operated by
the Armed Services in the continental U.S.);
c) 14 facilities operated by Immigration and Customs
Enforcement.
Of the facilities selected, one had closed (Navajo Department of Corrections – Chinle, AZ).
Data for each correctional system and sampled facility are
displayed in Appendix tables 1a – 4b. In each table a measure of population size has been provided as a basis for
comparison.
National estimates and accuracy
Survey responses were weighted to produce national estimates by type of correctional facility. Data from the Federal
Bureau of Prisons, all State systems, military facilities, and
ICE facilities received a weight of 1.00, since these systems and facilities were all selected (sampled with certainty).
Among publicly operated jails, private prisons, private jails
and jails in Indian country, facilities were assigned a weight
equal to the inverse of their probability of selection. Estimates for public jail jurisdictions were adjusted for nonresponse by multiplying each estimate by the ratio of the
total ADP in all jurisdictions to the ADP among participating
jurisdictions.
Survey estimates for public jail jurisdictions, private prisons
and jails, and jails in Indian country are subject to sampling
error. The error, as measured by an estimated sampling
error, varies by the size of the estimate and the size of the
base population. Estimates of the standard errors for
selected survey items are presented in tables 13 and 14.

These standard errors may be used to construct confidence intervals around survey estimates (e.g., numbers,
rates, and percentages), as well as differences in these
estimates. For example, the 95% confidence interval
around the number of allegations of sexual violence is
approximately 6,528 plus or minus 1.96 times 143 (or 6,248
to 6,808).

Detail on substantiated incidents
The 2006 Survey of Sexual Violence recorded 704 substantiated incidents of sexual violence; that is, incidents
that were investigated and determined to have occurred.
Taking into account sampling of local jail jurisdictions, private prisons and jails, and jails in Indian country, the estimated total for the Nation was 967.
Correctional authorities provided detail on 99% of all substantiated incidents. Through use of a separate incident
form, the survey collected details on circumstances surrounding each incident, characteristics of victims and perpetrators, type of pressure or physical force, sanctions
imposed, and victim assistance. These data are displayed
in Appendix tables 5 – 8.
In response to concerns raised about the 2005 survey, BJS
changed the survey item related to staff sexual misconduct
and harassment. Item 27 of the 2006 survey read as follows:
What was the nature of the incident?
