It is clear that the presence of gangs in prisons means that COs working in these environments can be particularly vulnerable to becoming drawn into these kinds of relationships. Gang members doing time will nearly always have criminal associates or potential accomplices in the outside world. The recent study by Skarbek (2011, 2014) confirms the capacity of imprisoned leaders of gangs and other crime groups to continue to “direct traffic” from inside prison. In California, the Mexican Mafia, a longstanding prison gang, effectively exercises control over a host of Southern California street gangs from within various facilities (Skarbek 2014).
In many correctional systems, women now constitute a quarter or more of custodial staff, whereas prison populations commonly have 10 % or fewer women. Inevitably, this means that prisoners are more likely to interact with female officers than they had previously (community corrections, health and educational staff have always been predominantly female by comparison). 3 Inappropriate Relationships 45 This change in the workforce has been linked by several observers to an apparent increase in the level of female officer/male prisoner relationships of an intimate and/or sexual nature (see Jones 2013; Faulkner and Regehr 2011).
There is a limited literature on hybristophilia: “a fixation on a partner with a history of such crimes as rapes, murder or armed robbery” (Money 2008: 32). Clearly, many women are drawn to men behind bars, for various reasons. As well as the celebrity attached to some male prisoners, there is an issue of control that women can exercise because the men are under lock and key, and highly dependent on others. Meeting emotional, rather than material, need is the objective in many instances, reflecting desires for attachment and emotional closeness (Faulkner and Regehr 2011), or for recognition (CPNI 2013).
