"R oughly half of all sexual impropriety reported in U.S. prisons and jails last year was perpetrated by correctional staff, not inmates.
Female staff were the offenders in two-thirds of the prison cases, and two-thirds of the victims of prison staff were male inmates, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics."

1. Send some of the officers my way!

I'll be happy to help.

And unlike those criminals, I probably tote more too. :rofl:

5. If she needs cuffs & a gun just to get laid, I think you wouldn't like her

This is just speculation, of course, but with all the options a women has in life, if she's got to get lucky with a man locked up for years behind bars and she still needs to bring her gun along to have her way, you may not be looking at some of your better dating prospects there, Toadster.

2. Clarification

While there is an element of supposed romance noted in many of the cases, sexual relations of any kind between prison employees and inmates are considered nonconsensual by law because of the inherent power that staff have over prisoners. In Virginia it is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Interesting none the less.

3. Is that considered "hard" time?

4. misleading. women tend to report sex crimes more than men

so this report doesn't necessarily mean that most guard rapists ARE women.
