If a prisoner does find the courage to report their sexual assault to a guard, they are often badly let down by the response.
If the view takes hold that it is commonplace, people they speak to will think that they were either a rapist or a rape victim. Many prisoners and former prisoners hate the discussion of rape in jail. Sometimes bleach tablets are added to cause skin discolouration. One punishment involves filling a kettle with sugar, so that when the boiling water is poured on a prison's skin it clings to it. Reporting the incident can lead to attacks from other prisoners for grassing on fellow inmates.
