Prison rape. I can guarantee you that those two words are the first thing that popped into
your head when you heard you were on the way to the slammer. There is no way to
sugarcoat this issue. You may be raped when you go to prison. I am not trying to scare
you. It is a serious, real issue. Here are some facts:
• It is estimated that there are over 300,000 instances of prison rape a year.
• 40,000 are estimated to be committed against boys in either adult prisons or while
in juvenile facilities or lock ups.
