    Plea bargaining, also known as plea negotiation, is the most commonly used practice in the criminal justice process in which defendants are allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge or charges (Inciardi, 2010).

According to Inciardi (2010), “It is believed that more than 90 percent of criminal convictions result from negotiated pleas of guilty” (Pg. 302).…

    Sexual activity among inmates is a complex phenomenon that occurs along a continuum, from the entirely consensual to the violently coerced. The New York Times detailed a gang-run system of sexual slavery in a Texas prison, where at least 1 gay inmate claimed he was bought and sold numerous times and “forced into oral sex and anal sex on a daily basis.”9 Recent federal legislation called for research into the prevalence and patterns of rape and other sexual victimization within correctional facilities to inform policy changes aimed at controlling these abuses.9 A Human Rights Watch report presented accounts of sexual slavery from inmates in Texas, Illinois, Michigan, California, and Arkansas and asserted that sexual victimization threatens inmates’ essential human rights.10…
