We’re not going to get our wish either way, unfortunately. I very seriously doubt that rape is only commonplace in men’s prisons. Our prisons appear to be specifically designed to encourage and maximize prisoners raping each other, because everyone on the outside considers that part of the punishment (“don’t drop the soap”).
Your comment made me curious, so I looked it up and found a 2006 study that says you are absolutely correct, inmate-on-inmate sexual violence is almost 4 times higher in women’s prisons: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2438589/
I seriously did not expect that.

Wow. I expected it to be lower but still prevalent. Definitely didn’t expect it to be four times higher.
