	iCorrection.com -- Prison sexuality
		A prison is a place in which individuals are physically confined and usually deprived of a range of personalfreedoms.
		Prisons are conventionally institutions which form part of the criminal justice system of a country, such that imprisonment or incarceration is the penalty imposed by the state for the commission of a crime.
		Since prisons are separated by sex, acts are usually conducted with a same-sex partner, often in contradiction to a person's normal social sexual orientation.

		Individuals may also be committed to prison by a court before a trial, verdict or sentence, generally because the court determines that there is a risk to society or a risk of absconding prior to a trial; such pre-trial imprisonment is known as remand.
		Prisons are often rated by the degree of security, ranging from minimum security (used mainly for nonviolent offenders such as those guilty of fraud) through to maximum security and super-maximum or supermax (often used for those who have committed crimes while imprisoned).
		Crime and punishment is a wide, very controversial and deeply politicized area, and so too are discussions of prisons, prison systems, the concepts and practices of imprisonment; and the sanction of custody set against other non-custodial sanctions and against the capital sanction, a death sentence.

	Prison Substance Abuse Treatment With Aftercare Reduces Recidivism
		Wexler is a leader in prison reform and his research in the 1990’s found that prison-based substance abuse treatment is effective – if combined with aftercare – and leads to major reductions in recidivism.
		For example, his 1999 study involving 478 prisoners at a state prison near San Diego, California found that after three years, only 27 percent of the prisoners involved the prison’s drug treatment program with aftercare returned to prison, compared to a recidivism rate of 75 percent for those not involved in the treatment program.
		This research by psychologists and others shows that treating prisoners’ substance abuse problems while in prison and after they are released leads to major reductions in recidivism.

	Prison rape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prison rape commonly refers to the rape of inmates in prison by other inmates or prison staff.
		In prison rape, the perpetrator and victim are generally the same sex (due to the gender-segregated nature of prison confinement).
		U.S. Federal law, under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, calls for the compilation of national prison rape statistics, annual hearings by a review panel, and the provision of grants to the states to address prison rape.

		Prison Masculinities offers the reader new insights into historic and current notions of "manhood" and how those notions have dehumanized prisoners and driven the ill-conceived "get tough with criminals" political philosophy that has all but eliminated serious efforts at rehabilitation of inmates.
		Prison Masculinities incorporates this gender theory, queer theory, and other post-modern thinking to engage the discussion of the effect of "manhood" on inmates before, after, and during their incarceration.
		Prison Masculinities then traces the effects of masculinity on all aspects of inmates' lives, relating it to race, health, sexuality, prison programs, law and male friendships.

		The campaign against prisons should be a site for building coalitions and radical consciousness -- considering the extent to which prison construction and operation are becoming increasingly central to the US economy.
		Certainly there are people in prison who have committed horrendous crimes, but that should not justify treating the young person who is in prison who might have used drugs the same way.
		We will be urging people to visit prisoners -- we'll be urging individuals, encouraging their churches to participate, and encouraging schools to arrange visits -- to create more traffic inside and outside, so it becomes possible to defend the human rights of those who are incarcerated.

		Of course, there had been earlier studies of prison violence and prison sexuality, but Tewksbury (1989), for example, brings "fear of crime" to the forefront in analysis of the inmate social system.
		While most prisons simply look upon the problem as a custodial issue, some prison authorities have followed one of three responses: (1) safe-sex campaigns to cut down on spread of HIV infection; (2) conjugal visits with spouses in a relaxed, unsupervised area of the prison; and (3) furloughs which allow inmates to visit their families.
		Prison and telephone officials claim the high rates are due to the special security needs of prison phones, but state and local authorities also levy a hefty commission on top of phone company rates.

		Although Iowa State Prison has long abandoned the days of balls and chain, or the sweatshops that were accompanied by physical or psychological torture, it remained a place of contrasts.
		Prisoners were allowed to glimpse the outside world through newspapers, magazines, or the radio, but in so doing, they became even more aware of their own punishment.
		Neese followed a new arrival to the prison and recorded how prisoners called out to the new "fish" and clothes were exchanged for a uniform and compared prisons to boardinghouses -- looking at the boarders, the apartments, and the housekeepers who kept the system together.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Michel Foucault (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		His work is historiographic; he wrote histories of madness, of the medical clinic, of the modern prison, of sexuality.
		Yet, at the risk of angering his ghost, we must acknowledge that his books contain a certain philosophic or theoretical bent: his histories are simultaneously explorations of what it means to be a person, to have a body, to exercise power.
		In it, Foucault challenges the idea that sexuality has been repressed in Western society, arguing instead that it has been fixated on sex for more than 400 years.

	The Homosexual/Bisexual "Closet" is Very Large: Part 1.
		There are homosexually oriented men who are not sexually stimulated by depictions of adult males engaging in sexual acts and some may even require depictions of race-specific adolescent males for sexual stimulation to occur; these gay males would not be pedophiles because the desired males are not pre-puberty males.
		Accounts written by prisoners or exprisoners have usually taken the form of autobiography or fiction, and these also tend to draw veils over areas which might reflect unfavorably on the writer in presenting himself to the general public, such as rape and homosexuality.
		Heterosexual former prisoners also tend to remain silent concerning their sexual experiences in confinement when conversing with people who have not shared that environment, former "punks" being most loathe to disclose anything about their humiliating sexual role.

	Prison Essay 2
		I raise the issue of sexuality and prison (mainly as pertains to male prisoners) seeking to what extent and how sexuality (particularly homosexuality) has been represented, repressed, and exposed.
		I also explore how the prison (the "matrix") and the inmate (regardless of biological sex) is coded as "female" in relationship to the carceral (read "male") authority.
		But this study also suggests the prison's potential to offer a site for alternative social, political, and aesthetic practices; that is, a productive site for representations of resistance and agency — graphic and/or verbal — by both those within and those outside its dehumanizing clutches.
