 Two University of South Dakota researchers have put numbers on a subject that s hard to quantify: prison rape. And their work could lead to national legislation. This is a subject where nobody knows the numbers,  said Cindy Struckman-Johnson, a social psychologist.She and her husband, David Struckman-Johnson, distributed more than 7,000 surveys to male prisoners in seven Midwest prisons. They agreed to keep the prison names confidential, and the names of prisoners were kept from officials.About 25 percent of the inmates who were surveyed responded. Inmate-reported rape rates varied from zero at one prison to 11 percent at another.Twenty-one percent of the inmates who responded said they had been pressured or forced into some type of sexual contact while behind bars. At least 7 percent reported being raped in prison.        stanley cup  Cindy Struckman-Johnson said she thinks prison officials don t want prison rape to happen but that the solutions can be expensive. If prison offic stanley website ials acknowledge the rape stanley cup s, the law says they must do something about it, she said.State Sen.
