| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Isinangananga (same-sex relationships) an abomination to some but a source of pleasure to others, is a word I heard throughout my prison journeys. Imbobo refers to heterosexual relationships between males and female inmates in a correctional centre. This paper explores both the narratives of women's involvement in both forms of relationships. |
