Definition

  • Lesbian relationships refer to the emotional, physical, and sexual bonds formed between two women. It is not clear how many women participate in lesbian relationships in prison, although estimates from prison personnel and prisoners suggest that anywhere from 30% to 60% of women in prison are involved in same-sex relationships.
