Fortunately, there is a bureau of prison that keeps accurate records of the total assaults occurring on the inmates assuming that all the assaults are being reported. The assault rate may vary according to the level of security in the prison but the latest numbers show the overall rate of assaults in all the prisons is 1 per every 5,000 inmates each month.

As per some statistics, in the year 2013, there were some 1,574,700 people in the US jails and prisons. And according to the data, around 315 serious assaults occur each month in the jails – that is about 10 per day.
