尽管2003年颁布了《消除监狱强奸法》（PREA），但美国监狱中存在大量涉及性侵犯的侵犯人权行为。遭受这些攻击可能会导致被监禁的黑人男性产生创伤后压力和反社会行为，因为他们的监禁率高得不成比例。然而，关于美国监狱性侵犯暴露的研究是有限的。对随机抽取的134名在押黑人男子进行了一份关于监狱性侵犯暴露情况的匿名自述问卷。43%的人报告在监狱内听到性侵犯，16%的人亲眼目睹了性侵犯。性取向与目击性侵犯相关（χ2 = 3.68,df= 1,p< 0.05）。这项研究的结果表明，尽管PREA指令要求消除此类事件，但性侵犯在美国监狱中可能很常见。传统的暴力预防计划和干预措施可能无法满足监狱人口的独特需求，因为他们极易受到性胁迫行为的影响。
Despite the enactment of the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA), human rights abuses involving sexual assaults abound in US prisons. Exposure to these assaults may contribute to posttraumatic stress and antisocial behavior among incarcerated Black men, because their rates of incarceration are disproportionately high. However, research on exposure to sexual assault in US prisons is limited. An anonymous self-report questionnaire on prison sexual assault exposure was administered to 134 randomly selected incarcerated Black men. Forty-three percent reported hearing sexual assaults occurring within the facility and 16 % visually witnessed them. Sexual orientation was associated with witnessing sexual assault (χ2 = 3.68,df= 1,p< 0.05). Findings from this study suggest that sexual assaults may be common in US prisons despite the PREA directive to eliminate such incidents. Conventional violence prevention programs and interventions may not meet the unique needs of prison populations given the high exposure to sexually coercive behaviors reported.
