Draft Ideas: 

-This info could possibly go in the introduction, since the current intro is very short & minimal:

Prison sexuality is a topic in the criminal justice system that is unclear and misunderstood. (added)

Even though there are rules in place to prevent sex in prison, it's still a very sexualized environment. Sex in prison is often used as a way to get protection or goods. Consensual sex is most common in prison. (added)

-For contraception section:

The amount of STD's in prison is higher than the general population.

-Male Prison Sexuality:

Prison sexuality for males has been studies since the 1930s. Research is lacking on consensual sex, because most research done has focused on coercion. Sexual abuse is more common among male inmates. Although, the fear of sexual abuse is higher than the amount it actually happens. Men sexually abuse others for dominance, power and to maintain their masculinity. Men who realize they are weaker will consent to sex for protection, security, goods or support.

For straight men in prison, they view their homosexual acts as being "situation specific" and do not consider themselves bisexual. These men describe how they imagine being with a woman while taking part in sex with another male inmate. During masturbation, men picture past sexual experiences with women. They take part in homosexual outs do to having no “heterosexual outlets”.

A dominant sexual partner in prison is called "daddy". Their mate is called "kid" or “girl” and is the submissive one. The dominant partner has their mate take on the feminine role in order to feel more masculine and powerful.

-Female Prison Sexuality:

The first studies done on prison sexuality were with women. Something exclusive to the women is the forming of psuedofamilies. These are families women create in prison that provide supports, bonds and relationships, like a real family would. Typically, only the main couple in the family has sexual relations.

Sexual types for women include: "butch" or daddy" is the masculine girl who is dominant. The "femme" or "mommy" is like the submissive one. A "trick" is a girl who allows herself to be used by others. A "commissary hustler" is manipulative. "Cherries" have never had lesbian experiences and a "square" will not take part in homosexuality acts.

There are five types of sexuality in prisons. The first one is suppression; with suppression inmates choose celibacy. This type is focused on staying loyal to their partner outside of prison. Autoeroticism is taking part in masturbation and pleasuring oneself. This act is looked down upon in prison and is viewed as self-abuse. Homosexuality consist of two types, consensual true and consensual situation. Consensual true refers to those who were homosexual before prison and situation are those who have homosexual experiences for the first time in prison. Sexual violence includes: coercion, manipulation and compliance. Manipulation is done for power or some kind of reward. Compliance is done for safety, protection or out of fear. (pardue source)

-There are 3 models to understanding prison sexuality: Importation, deprivation and social constructionist. The first model came about in 1940 by Donald Clemmer. This model states that inmates take on a new identity in prison due to the loss of their old one. Take one new identity, since they are deprived of their sexual identity. In 1958, Gresham Sykes created the deprivation model. In this model, heterosexual inmates struggle with deprivation and create a prison subculture. Inmates are deprived of their sexual needs and desire some activity. Resort to masturbation, consensual or coerced sex. John Irwin & Donald Cressey created the importation model in 1962. With this model, inmates create a unique prison culture based on values from the outside. The social constructionist model is made up of social situations and values. (gibson/hensley)
