Assignment 1
Sexual coercion is a problem in correctional institutions because there can be inmates intimidated by other inmates. The inmates who suffer from this abuse begin to live in fear. The abusers often prey on those who aren’t as strong, tough or mentally capable of understanding what’s going on. There are also younger victims that are also targets because they are new to the prison system. Most of the victims of this crime will never say anything out of fear that something worse may occur like death.
When the prisoners of crimes such as rapist, child molesters and child abusers are placed in prison some aren’t placed with the normal population.
