About this title

Synopsis

Investigates the sexual behavior and relationships of prison inmates and examines the attitudes of officials and guards toward sex in prison

"By far the best book on the subject. Painfully accurate. This book far surpasses other studies of male sex in prison."--Laud Humphreys, PhD, Pitzer College, author of Tearoom Trade

"It expands the existing literature into a realm not previously addressed. . . . No one book will answer all questions about sex in prison, but what impresses me about [the authors'] work is that it answers some questions most people have not even yet thought of asking . . . a pioneering work."--A. Nicholas Groth, PhD, Director, Sex Offender Program, State of Connecticut Department of Corrections
