Abstract

ABSTRACT Literature about the vulnerability of female prisoners and the ineffectiveness of sexual assault reform laws is used to explain how the sexual abuse and exploitation of Hawaii's female prisoners became a chronic problem. It is argued that similar problems exist in other states and that the social status of inmate sexual assault victims is not an adequate explanation for an apparent lack of law enforcement. Recommendations for research, staff training, policy development, and political action are included.
