    While certainly a minority, they are not negligible. Especially so in prisons, where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.

      You’re referring to the fact that women are 3 times as likely to be victim of SA, not the offender.

        If it’s inmate-on-inmate, and they’re in a woman’s prison, I think it’s safe to assume that both victim and offender were women, no?

        I can’t tell if I’m tired and missing your point, or if you misunderstood me.

        I am specifically referring to inmate-on-inmate SA. As prisons are typically segregated by gender, the offender and victims would both be female in this case. Guard-on-inmate SA on the other hand is mostly male offenders as one might unfortunately expect.
