When caged against your will in poor conditions, with purposely limited supplies and resources, and in company of the most violent and murderous criminals of the state....can one ever really deem any sex as purely consensual?

It doesn't matter what sex, gender, or combination of those, the two inmates are; all sexual contact is coerced to an extent by situational duress, need of limited resources, and social power dynamics through fear based submission/dominance.

There is a huge gap in the amount of outside support inmates receive, creating a dynamic of desperation and a market for limited resources that preys on it. Many times, this isn't just a large gap in ability is rise above cruel living standards, but the ability to maintain a consistent minimum supply of toiletries and food without risking danger, as well as access to outside advocates which can help you lobby for proper health care and other grievances.

An appropriate amount of food and toiletries may be provided for each inmate, but in a limited resource environment, people steal extra supplies, not caring that the last person in line finds there are none left. Starve or fight the inmate who you saw grab two trays? This isn't a decisions those who have family sending money must make, as they can purchase a supply of extra food. Purchasing this safety and security with your body, might be the choice those without money sent in must take.

No sexual contact between inmates of any kind can fully be considered consensual.
