Results indicated that less than 4 percent of inmates requested commercially produced pornographic materials while incarcerated. Among inmates who did receive sexually explicit materials, most were White (80 percent) and most were violent offenders (62 percent). Inmates receiving sexually explicit magazines served an average of 6 years of incarceration and a full 24.7 percent had served 1 year or less. The findings suggest that male prisons are not highly sexualized environments and inmates may manage the stress of imprisonment by minimizing overtly sexual images in their environments. Data were collected from one medium-security male prison in Kentucky and involved an examination of institutional records and public records and documents of the Kentucky Department of Corrections. Records were obtained for 2,031 different inmates who were incarcerated during the 12-month period between September 2002 and September 2003. Data were entered into SPSS and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Future research might focus on predictors of an inmate’s predisposition to request and receive sexually explicit materials. Tables, references, notes
