This article examines the Prison Service's cross‐posting policy, its key strategy for compliance with the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. The impact on the development of cross‐posting policy of two influential industrial tribunals and a dispute with the prison officers’ union' illustrate the confusion and lack of commitment within the Service to this policy, as well as the general misunderstanding of the intent of the law. Research shows that while administrators have focused on promoting secondary equality programmes, integration has been strongly influenced by sexual stereotyping and an informal and arbitrary application of the deployment policy
