In general, it should be stated that homosexual behaviour in the general population has as many psychodynamic variations as heterosexual behaviour. For example, sometimes the relationship is caring and nurturing, sometimes it is abusive; sometimes it is consensual; sometimes it is forced; sometimes it is bartered for emotional reasons, sometimes for material gain.
In prison, homosexual behaviour can show elements of any of the above … In cases particularly where prisoners have lengthy prison sentences normally heterosexual inmates often resort to homosexual acts due to lack of alternative opportunities … In light of the above please be assured and please reassure your wife that, for as long as you remain in free society, your private area should remain untouched by unwanted attention … Finally life in prison is never a pleasant experience for inmates or their custodians … You and your pastor’s prayers will therefore always be welcomed by all concerned. It is difficult, though, to understand why photographs of sexual acts may be a prerequisite for such prayers.
