prison sex surprises

I found this interesting, both from a sexual culture standpoint, but also because of my usual misgivings about our current attitudes about incarceration as a way to shape society: Study refutes idea that many inmates get HIV in prison: Surprise finding was frequency of sex with staff

The study revealed a surprising and unexplored aspect of HIV infection in prisoners. Of the men who became infected behind bars and acknowledged having homosexual sex there, half reported that their partners were prison staff, not other inmates. Whether guards were the source of infection, or became infected themselves, in any of those liaisons is unknown.
