The Consequences of Another Year Without PREA Standards

Please join Just Detention International for an informational briefing about the problem of prisoner rape and the importance of promulgating national standards to end this abuse.

Speakers will provide first-hand accounts of their experiences as survivors of prisoner rape; insights into the challenges and successes of early adopters of the standards as recommended by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission; and information about the Department of Justice's recently-released national survey that, for the first time, provided an incidence rate of sexual abuse behind bars.
