I didn't take the time to read all the posts. But here are some of my observations.
I worked as a corrections officer in Louisiana at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center as well as did my training at Louisiana State Penetentiary.
1) Contrary to popular belief in movies, the inmates DO NOT run the prisons. However, many officers do or feel they need to get a little "help" from some inmates. I worked in a dorm where you had two officers equiped with one beeper/one way-radio to 130+inmates. Unless the officer was doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing it was virtually impossible for an inmate to rape another one. Now consensual sex between a punk and his man is something different. As soon as they would be identified, many times by the inmates themselves, they would be separated.
2) Most inmates are not looking to rape or get raped. It is very few, normally ones that become problem inmates to other inmates or inmates that are very very weak. Normally, inmates take care of them by kicking their ass as opposed to fucking them in the ass. However, corrections officers can prevent it by just simply making their rounds or being alert.
3) Most prisons have protective cells where certain inmates can request to go into or they can make it so they get placed in there. Such as inmates that cause problems to other inmates or the staff.
It is not a given that you will get raped when you go into prison. From my experience, you just about have to be asking for it and I don't mean walking around asking someone to rape you.
All that being said there are exceptions to every rule.
