What is your opinion on relationships between prisoners? Should relationships be prevented and is such a thing even possible?

[Kibalchich]

What kind of relationships?

[Annora]

Romantic/sexual relationships.

[Juichiro]

Most relationships in prison are soap-based.

Being forcefully bum raped in the shower by a fellow convict isn't considered as being a 'relationship'

It's definitely possible, OP..

I was having a discussion with my housemate who works in a women's prison. She believes that prisoners should not be allowed to have relationships with other inmates because it causes disruption.

Disruption? In what way?

I'm not really sure how to answer your question, but I'd understand why people would say no. A relationship means that they're having fun, and living a relatively normal life in there (well, normal enough that they're in a relationship), which is not what they're there for. They are there for punishment, and certain people - i.e. victim's families - would not deem it acceptable for them to get together with someone.

Don't see how you could stop it.

[Oh my Ms. Coffey]

Dont tell the relationship police.

[boba]

if they some how manage to get into a relationship in that situation I don't think anyone should actively try and stop them but I don't imagine it would really work very well

[ckingalt]

This guy knows all about prison relationships

Spoiler:

Prison authorities may not be able to prevent relationships but they definitely should not tolerate them.

[Meteorshower]

Of course. Do you really think there will be a positive outcome from preventing people you are presumably trying to reform from having a better quality of life at no cost to the taxpayer?

How do you propose to stop them?

[Schmucks]

It'd be like living with the person you've just started going out with. But you know they're capable of things. Bad things. Just like you are/were. And then you could go on heists together. But then argue because you have different methods, and it all goes tits up.

I have no opinion on whether relationships should happen in prison, if you've not gathered.

i dunno how u would be able to stop it but it seems to me that it wouldn't be the healthiest environment to have a relationship plus there's the potential for someone vulnerable being exploited/preyed upon - that said, i'm prob influenced by the fact that i've seen too many movies n documentaries where human nature is rarely appealing.
