In 1965, Ward and Kassebaum conducted research in Frontera through questionnaires and concluded from staff and inmates that "between 30% and 75% of the inmates had sexual affairs while in prison", 50% of those engaging in same-sex sexual activity. Roles within pseudofamilies are flexible and can change with time. These "parents" are typically older and are seen as mentors to younger inmates. "Mammy" or "mumsy" is given to an older, maternal woman in the family, and "Popsy" is given to a dominant woman, who is least feminine. The women take on masculine and feminine roles to mimic a traditional heterosexual family.
Typically, only the main couple in the family has sexual relations. These are families women create in prison that provide them support, bonds and relationships, like a traditional family would. The forming of pseudofamilies have been more common in women prisons. In 1931, researcher Selling found that different levels of relationships exist between females in prison (and female juvenile facilities), such as "friendship, pseudofamily membership, pseudohomosexuality, and overt homosexuality". The first research done on prison sexuality was on women in 1913. Prisoner-prisoner relationships Female prisoners This prison is Canada's highest security prison in which inmates of either sex may be sent if considered especially dangerous. There, two convicted killers of the opposite sex, Karla Homolka and Jean-Paul Gerbet, were able to engage in sexual activity through a chain-link fence, which was the only barrier separating men and women. An example of an exception to this general rule took place in Canada at the Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines prison. In general, prisoner-prisoner relationships are same-sex relationships because prisons are generally segregated by sex. Compliance occurs to obtain safety or protection or out of fear. Manipulation is performed for power or some kind of reward. Sexual violence includes coercion, manipulation, and compliance. They include suppression, in which an inmate chooses celibacy ( i.e., refrains from sexual activity while in prison, most commonly to stay loyal to a partner who is outside of prison) autoeroticism ( i.e., masturbation) true homosexuality (consensual sex between inmates who were already homosexual before entering prison) situational homosexuality (consensual sex between inmates who have homosexual experiences for the first time in prison) and sexual violence (which can be between inmates or between a staff member and an inmate). Ī 2011 study developed a taxonomy for different types of sexual behaviors in women's prison. The most common kind of sexual activity in prisons is consensual sex. Prison sexuality is an issue that has been commonly misunderstood and misrepresented due not only to the taboo nature of the subject, but also because of a lack of research. Exceptions to this include sex with spouses/partners during conjugal visits and sex with a prison employee of the opposite sex. Since prisons are usually separated by sex, most sexual activity is with a same-sex partner. Prison sexuality (or prison sex or penitentiary sex) consists of sexual relationships between prisoners or between a prisoner and a prison employee or other persons to whom prisoners have access.
