Too much of a power dynamic. It causes to many issues in the facility for the staff and other inmates.

Typically it’s ignored in most cases but when it’s an issue they move inmates to other facilities.

And they couldn't move her to another women's facility? or another unit in the same facility? They had to go straight to men's genpop? I also don't buy that sex among peers causes too many issues. Unless it's criminal, in which case you'd deal with it on that front. Because if that was true we'd have to make sex among peers a crime in normal society too.

I have no clue why they moved her to a male facility. It’s not in the article. Until more comes out on the case, it’s a mystery.

I suspect this is a maximum security and I have no clue how many they have for women in Washington.

In Nevada where my girlfriend worked in the prison system, they only have one for women. They’d move them to another section of the prison if possible or send them out of state.

Overall though they led it slide as long as there were no issues.

Overall they let rape slide? Or is it not rape now?

So we're not aware of any issues, just the ridiculous rule, and cruel transfer. Have I got that right?

No it does not appear that you have it right. The rule isn’t ridiculous at all and we don’t know why the person was transferred. She assumes that is the reason and it’s a fair assumption. Prison isn’t summer camp. It’s there to keep the communities safe by removing bad elements.

Okay so casual sex is banned for everyone then right? We all have to get married and have weekly reports to HR to make sure there's no problems?

Only three states allow conjugal visits.

In most prisons even masturbation is against the rules.

Personally I think that is a bridge to far and they should have a masturbation room.

If you think prisoners should be able to inmate sex and orgies. Write you state leaders as they can change the laws.

The problem is many people don’t care about the incarcerated. I want prisons to keep dangerous people away from society and rehabilitate those who are returning to society. I’m not a fan of prison is punishment since that doesn’t really fix anything
