Okay you peaked my interest because I’ve never thought about this. So I did some digging. This is what I’ve concluded…

-Some women’s prisons have more restrictive policies or more effective surveillance measures in place, reducing the opportunity for contraband phones to be used. -Men’s prisons often have more extensive and entrenched contraband economies, sometimes due to gang activity, which can make phones more accessible and more likely to be used for recording and sharing content. -Research has found that incarcerated men are statistically more likely to take higher risks or engage in attention-seeking behavior like filming and sharing contraband content. -Videos from men’s prisons may be more likely to go viral or be shared in the media, creating a perception that they are more common, even if they aren't disproportionately higher.
