Summary
- Sex in Prison documents and analyzes the realities of romantic and sexual relationships among inmates behind bars.
- Rather than focusing purely on sensationalized accounts of sexual violence, Haggarty examines the spectrum of sexual behavior in the carceral environment.
- The book delves into the psychological, emotional, and physical dynamics that occur when inmates are isolated from the outside world and surrounded by same-sex populations.
- It covers the social hierarchy and slang used by inmates, the nature of both coerced encounters and consensual relationships, and how the lack of regular intimacy pushes prisoners to seek alternative outlets.
