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. 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.
