There is no publicly available data on the prevalence of sexual assault within Taiwan’s prison system, though isolated cases do surface in court rulings. Taiwan does publish national sexual assault data, but not broken down by prisons. A 2025 paper by the Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry said annual reported cases are in the ~7,700–9,400 range nationwide. If accurate, these figures mean Taiwan’s rate of such offenses is roughly comparable to that of many other developed countries.
