For the reasons explained below, we reject defendant’s argument that the sexual activity did not occur in a “detention facility” within the meaning of section 289.6.

In the unpublished portion of this opinion, we conclude substantial evidence supports defendant’s convictions of sexual penetration and oral copulation by official threat to incarcerate. (§§ 289, subd. (g), 288a, subd. (k).) We therefore affirm the judgment.
