What you describe, women sunbathing with their tops off, would never happen now. PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act)is a federal law that prohibits sexual misconduct in correctional settings such as prisons, jails, lockups, juvenile facilities, and Immigration Services ⁄ ICE detention facilities. Things have changed a lot since 1974. Getting caught having sex with an inmate, whether it's staff on inmate or inmate on inmate, results in prosecution (if you're staff) and solitary confinement for inmates as well as charges. PREA has been beat into my head numerous times. Throughout the facility, there are signs reminding us that it is a serious offense. Of course, it still goes on, but topless sunbathing is surely a thing of the past, as well as many other behaviors.

I agree but not for that reason. I said it was probably something the warden allowed at that time.

Taking your top off and sunbathing is not necessarily sexual activity.
