Re: Sexy Women In Prisons

Of the nearly 152,000 federal offenders, women consistently account for approximately 7 percent of the federal inmate population. While nationwide, women are a growing correctional population, women in the Bureau have comprised a steady proportion of the overall population. In the Bureau, women are housed among 29 facilities.
Because the Bureau recognizes women may have different needs than men, the Reentry Services Division includes a Women and Special Populations Branch (WASPB). This office ensures the development and provision of services to meet the needs of federally incarcerated women, and provides national guidance on the classification, management, intervention programs and practices for females in Bureau custody. Stakeholder engagement, including inmate feedback, is a priority, and is utilized to identify and implement new programmatic and training needs. As the agency's primary source for subject matter expertise on women, WASPB is involved in national policy development, ensuring new initiatives address gender-specific needs.
In meeting the gender specific needs of women, the Bureau has greatly increased the programming and services which are available to women. These initiatives include additions to the First Step Act (FSA) required Evidence Based Recidivism Reduction (EBRR) Programs and Productive Activities (PAs) available for women. The agency provides more than 15 programs specifically for women. We recently added college programming for women as well. More information on EBBR Programs and PAs can be found in the First Step Act Approved Programs Guide.
The Bureau's flagship women's program is the Foundation Program, which assists women in assessing their individual needs and translating the results of that assessment into the selection of programs and plans to meet their goals. It is offered at all female sites. The FIT Program (Female Integrated Treatment Program) is a residential treatment program that offers integrated cognitive-behavioral treatment for substance use disorders, mental illness, and trauma related disorders, as well as vocational training, to female inmates. The Resolve Program which is a non-residential trauma treatment EBRR program for women has also been expanded to all female facilities housing designed women. Additionally, the EBRR National Parenting Program includes gender specific modules added for women.
The Bureau also provides a wide range of PAs for women that address gender specific needs including domestic violence survival, aging, pro-social and assertive communication skills, emotional regulation, relationships, job and work force skills, and criminal thinking.
While these patterns of sexual victimization inform interventions to prevent such violence inside prisons, they do not reliably provide evidence on the prevalence of the problem, which was one of the major objectives of the PREA legislation. What is known is that the estimates of the prevalence of sexual victimization inside correctional settings are sensitive to methodology. Extant studies are based on different definitions of sexual victimization and diverse sampling designs. Estimates of the prevalence or incidence of sexual violence are extremely sensitive to methodology, with larger estimates derived from more specific questions about sexual victimization.22 The current study provides more accurate estimates of the prevalence of sexual victimization within a prison population based on the following advantages:
Overall, rates of sexual victimization were found to vary significantly by gender, age, perpetrator (inmate or staff), question wording, and facility. These rates also varied if delimited to nonconsensual sexual acts or abusive sexual conduct. On average, rates of sexual victimization were lowest for males, inmate-on-inmate victimizations, and nonconsensual sexual acts. Thus, studies focusing solely on inmate-on-inmate nonconsensual sexual acts (particularly, rape) in male prisons will provide very conservative estimates of sexual victimization overall. In our study, the percentage of the male inmate population experiencing such incidents over a 6-month period was 1.5%, on average, and at any point since incarcerated, 1.6%. For male prisons, the highest rate of sexual victimization (76 per 1,000) is associated with staff perpetrators.
These rates, based on averaging, mask considerable variation among prisons housing men. The literature clearly demonstrates that prison environments are heterogeneous.28,43 Our research is consistent with this literature. An individual's risk of sexual victimization is not equivalent across prisons even within a single prison system. Depending on facility, a male inmate might be housed in a prison where the risk of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization is as high as 6.4% or as low as 3.0%. Likewise, he might be in a facility where the risk of sexual victimization by a staff person ranges from 3.7 to 11.8% . More research is needed to identify the factors that predict variation in risk across male facilities. The literature suggests that violence levels inside prisons are associated with overcrowding, management style, and availability of programming,28,44,45 but the definition of violence in prior research focused on physical violence, not sexual. This is an important area for future exploration.
From a public health perspective, the number of potential victims susceptible to HIV and other health and mental health consequences as a consequence of a sexual victimization inside prison is staggering. In 2003, there were 1,368,866 males being housed in federal and state prisons; extrapolating from our data, this would translate into almost 22,000 male inmates experiencing a forced sexual act, the comparable number for the 101,179 female inmates in federal and state prisons is over 3,200. The experience of unwanted sexual touching or forced sex and the concomitant fear of sexual victimization have nontrivial physical, emotional, and psychological implications for current and future behavior inside and outside prison.5
Wearing a prisoner costume is all about embracing your rebellious side! That means throwing the normal rules out the window to follow your own rules at the party. It also means making sure you have a daring style that flies in the face of standard fashion regulations. If you want to indulge in that rebellious side, then you have a few options to get into character. Twenties gangster outfits, pirate outfits, and even Harley Quinn costumes are some examples. Those are pretty great choices to flaunt your inner defiance, but we really don't think you can find a more rebellious look that one of our women's prisoner costumes. Lucky for you, we carry a variety of styles, whether you want something a little more classic with black and white stripes or you're looking for something with a bit of a sexy spin on it. Check out some of our favorite options below!
We have to start out with the orange jumpsuit. This bright orange prisoner costume is based on the more modern prison outfits seen in shows like Orange Is the New Black. Real prisons ditched the black and white stripe look a long time ago and replaced them with a blazing orange style that is easy to spot, so it's an excellent way to stand out at any costume party. Also, we happen to love the color orange. It might just be the fact that the lively color is closely associated with Halloween, the best holiday in the world! Anyways, this is one of the most realistic and straightforward looks, so if you're going for authenticity, then this is the sort of outfit you want.
The old-timey, striped style may not be the most accurate depiction of prison garb. It's really something you see in films like O Brother, Where Art Thou or some old-school Looney Tunes. But it is something that everyone instantly recognizes. This sort of outfit really embellishes the striped look by adding some cat-like details (because we all know that those little feline fellows are sneaky little rule-breakers). If you're looking for something that's a little more cute and playful, then this women's cat burglar costume might just be the perfect option for you. It even lets you incorporate some accessories from our selection of cat costumes into your outfit!

Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (女囚701号/さそり, Joshū Nana-maru-ichi Gō / Sasori)[n 1] is a 1972 Japanese women in prison film produced by Toei Company and directed by Shunya Itō in his directorial debut. Based on a manga by Tōru Shinohara, the film stars Meiko Kaji as Nami Matsushima, a woman who is sent to prison after being betrayed by her detective lover, against whom she seeks revenge.
Nami Matsushima is used as a spy by her first real boyfriend, a police detective named Sugimi, to investigate a drug smuggling ring. However, her role is discovered and she is raped by several drug dealers. It emerges that Sugimi was simply using Matsushima as a pretext to obtain a bribe from the yakuza. Seeking revenge, Matsushima makes a failed attempt to stab Sugimi on the steps of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters. She is sentenced to do hard time in a women's prison, where she is given the number 701.
In 1995, legislation was introduced that authorized the construction of a new women's prison in Pierre. After the passage of the bill, the idea was pursued of joining resources with local governments to best utilize the new facility.
A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed that the policy, which affected about three dozen women, was changed. TDCJ gave few details as to why the decision was made other than that it was in review and now was the time to change it.
