ANNOTATION: The perceptions of prison wardens following the passage of the Prison Elimination Act (PREA) regarding the sexual assault of inmates are investigated. Sections following an abstract include: PREA; prison wardens and PREA; method; results for the prevalence of male prison rape and sexual assault, classification, prevention, and current institution policies and practices; and discussion. Respondents “believe that increased inmate supervision by staff can be completely effective at preventing prison rape and seem to regard this as the best method of prevention available within their institutions” (p. 74).
