I listened to an interesting programme on Radio 4 (some of you might have to Google "radio") this morning about sex in British prisons. Despite being against the law, it is quite rampant and very much on the rise.
Several current and past inmates were interviewed and, to be fair, they were extremely open and honest. The majority of the programme was dedicated to inmates being "jail bent" as it's called inside.
Jail bent is the term used for a person who is straight on the outside but seeks sexual contact with the same sex when in prison.
According to reseach, 40% of men serving a prison sentence of longer than 3 years have, at some point, been jail bent. The figure for women is even higher, 48% saying they had slept with another woman while in prison.
Interesting stuff. No doubt we all think we're 100% straight (except Jayjay of course), but if you were facing years behind bars would you be prepared to get your sexual release from another man?
