It seems to me (my opinion only so flame by mail if you must)
That if any person is imprissoned for a crime they have, at least for
the duration of their sentence, been deprived of the right to claim
anything more of soociety than perhaps subsistance. In a prison there
is no right to privacy. If the guards are content with the situation
then thre is no reason fo complaint. If I, as a female, were in the 
same situation as the guards in question I would be
more thana a little uncomfortable and would soon ask to be replaced
or relieved of the duty. I can hardly feel any sympathy for
the convicts but I can feel a bit of confusion at society
in the last 10 years or so, in that it appears that the criminal element
is afforded more protection then the people they prey upon.
