An exercise in harm reduction 1968-1976. Stop Prisoner Rape, Inc. SPR is a small but growing national non-profit organization dedicated to combatting the rape of male and female prisoners and providing such assistance as it can to survivors of jailhouse rape. Once a male prisoner is raped, he is stigmatized and marked as a victim for repeated sexual assault for as long as he remains locked up. Most victims are young, small, and non-violent, unable to defend themselves against ruthless exploitation. It is estimated based on previously published surveys that some 80,000 unwanted sexual acts take place behind bars in the United States every day, victimizing in the course of a year some 196,000 adult males in prisons (120,000 of them sexually penetrated), 123,000 in jails (82,000 of them sexually penetrated), and 40,000 boys held in juvenile and adult facilities, for a total of 359,000 a year (242,000 penetrated). SPR also estimates there are about 5,000 female victims a year, based on a 1994 survey of a Nebraska women's prison. For many of these victims, rape turns a brief detention in a county jail or juvenile facility or a short sentence for a non-violent offense into an agonizing slow death sentence from AIDS.
