Among heterosexual males, an estimated 3.5% reported
being sexually victimized by another inmate In comparison,
among males who were bisexual, 34% reported being
sexually victimized by another inmate Among males who
were homosexual or gay, 39% reported being victimized by
another inmate
For women it's 13 / 18 / 13 straight/bisexual/gay abuse instead of 3.5 / 34 / 39 for men. So I find it extremely suspicious men are so much lower than women overall, and that straight men are ten times lower than bisexual or gay men when straight women aren't much lower than bisexual women and the same as gay women.
And considering this:
Following their release from prison, 72% of victims of
inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization indicated they felt
shame or humiliation, and 56% said they felt guilt
I strongly suspect the rate of reporting for straight men is significantly falsely low, because they don't want to admit they were raped in general, especially by a man. Men who already consider themselves bi or gay are less reluctant to admit they had sex with a man, obviously, and therefore the numbers are much higher there. Table 17 confirms that about 60% of them never reported it to any officials, then you check table 18, listing "reasons for not reporting sexual victimization", and see 70% saying they didn't want anyone to know. Wouldn't such a high percentage saying they didn't report it to anyone because they didn't want anyone to know suggest that... a lot of them would take it that logical one step further and also not report it on the surveys this report is based on, therefore not showing up in either table?
That's surprising. It does say:
