A Missouri state senator who spent a year in federal prison for breaking election laws in 2004 has an account on The Recovering Politician blog all about what his fellow attendees at a Brooklyn cocktail party were too afraid to ask: prison sex. Jeff Smith says he didn't see any acts of rape, but sex was never very far from anyone's mind, apparently:

Outside muscle-building substances, pornography was perhaps the most prized possession on the compound.
