272:, of the prisons holding men the Clements Unit had the eighth-highest rate of inmates who reported that inmates stated that they had, during the past year, experienced sexual victimization from another inmate; the percentage was 6.8%. The percentage had decreased from its percentage in 2008. In 2008 the Bureau of Justice Statistics ranked Clements as the second highest in its category. For 2011–2012, 8.1% of inmates at Clements reported sexual intercourse or sexual contact with staff members, making it the fifth-highest in its category. In 2008 it was the second-highest in that category with 9.5%. Jason Clark, a TDCJ spokesperson, said that many of the accusations "could reflect offender attitudes toward other offensive behavior or legitimate security precautions" and that many were not actually sexual assault. The study also said that the Clements Unit had the worst rate of employee-on-inmate sexual assault of any facility in the country. The state of Texas counts all allegations towards this total even if proven false. Several offenders are under constant video surveillance due to constant false accusations. 28: 781: 723: 35: 338:
