I may have gotten this wrong. I was thinking of prison rape and a survey of prisoners showing that 22 percent (140,000) had been raped. But it didn't specify when the rapes occurred, so that number may be erroneously high if we're talking about annual figures (though that would depend on the average time of incarceration and "turnover rate" in prisons, neither of which I know). The annual figure for women (in the U.S.) is around 90,000.
The source was this report:
