Washington (CNN) — Nearly one of every 10 state prisoners is sexually victimized during confinement, according to a Justice Department study released Thursday.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics examined data collected in surveys of former prisoners about their time behind bars. The officials found that most of the victims had been abused while they were in state prisons, but a small percentage were molested in local jails or halfway houses.
