Research on male inmate sexual assault has been quite limited in correctional literature. Even fewer of these studies have focused specifically on the characteristics of sexual assault targets. Therefore, data gathered from August 1998 to May 1999 via face-to-face interviews with 174 inmates in three male Oklahoma correctional facilities were drawn on to examine various demographic and organizational characteristics of prison sexual targets. Respondents were asked a series of questions regarding their vulnerability to threatened and/or completed forced sexual assault encounters with other inmates. Roughly 14% of the inmates reported that they had been sexually targeted by other inmates.
