Rape in county jails?

Question

is inmate rape realy that common in county jails? take the main county jail in Los angeles for example. thats the biggest county jail.

is it common and does it occur?

cause i know in prison 1 in 5 inmates will be the victim of a sexual assault. but what about jail?

Answer 1

county jails its really unlikely. prisons maybe. Depends though. If you look REALLY vunerable in the jail or prison. its highly likely. Because Guys that are really fit and they look like they might kill you if you touch him (g*y way) they almost never get sexually assulted

Answer 2

It is more rare in County Jails than in state prisons.

Answer 3

Don't drop the soap and you will have none to worry about, but if you really want to complete your research when you get there, just drop the soap.

Answer 4

Rape in jail is extremely rare.  Lower numbers of inmates with less freedoms than in prisons makes it more difficult.  We do welfare tours quite often to make sure also.  Our jail has never had an incident of it.

Answer 5

I really hope not because I have a close friend that might be facing jail time and she is already concerned about her safety in jail.  

Answer 6

Jails have less occurrences than prisons.

Answer 7

Dont drop the soap!

Ever hear the term "Spread 'em"?

Answer 8

it's very common, but depends on charges that sent you there. If you are a pedophile, the guards will tell everyone and then your ******.

Answer 9

To answer your question, Yes it does happen in County Jails. Does it get reported often? No. But you have to remember, there are people with State experience in County jails who are awaiting trial. Not to say they are the ones doing it, but yes it happens in County.
