Procedures also must be put in place to investigate allegations of sexual assault and improve care for victims.
Almost seven per cent of women said they had been sexually abused by a fellow inmate, while more men said they had been assaulted by staff.
Shockingly, more than 7 per cent of teenagers in juvenile detention said they had sexual contact with staff.
9.5 per cent of those in juvenile detention said they had been the victim of sexual abuse.
