abstract="This study presents results from a survey of male and female prisoners and officers in a large county jail. The analysis examines perceptions of an issue of concern to both the courts and practitioners, namely cross-gender supervision of prisoners when they are nude or using the toilet. Specifically, the study explores the likelihood that such intrusive supervision might produce institutional conflict. <br><br>RESULTS reveal that (a) prisoners more frequently than officers expect such supervision to promote complaints, security problems, and violence and (b) most officers of both sexes expect similar negative consequences.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
