According to the article, prison sexual assaults are also uncommon in the K6G unit. Other topics include prison overcrowding, as well as gang control and violence. A comparison of prison life in the K6G unit and in the jail's general population is also provided. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
