How were the other prisoners? Did you feel physically threatened by them?
If you go to jail or prison it is relatively unlikely you will come to serious harm. Not many people in jail really want to fight. I did watch hundreds of fights and I came to the conclusion the human face is really not designed for fighting. It breaks very, very easily.
I never heard of a valid rape complaint. I was older (for a criminal) so I would be on "old man" decks, and that is where they put anyone deemed vulnerable, e.g. gay or trans. Most of the jail population is highly homophobic (at least, they play that role in the jail), as you probably found out, so they would scream and shout and file PREA complaints if any of them were housed with gay guys or trans folk. [also: it is very weird being in a men's jail and seeing transwomen walking around topless with DD breasts hanging out]
