Unsafe in Custody: Addressing Sexual Abuse in Police Lockups
“Unsafe in Custody: Addressing Sexual Abuse in Police Lockups” explains the role of lockup facilities, the different types that exist, and the best way to ensure that lockup detainees are kept safe. Expert speakers also review how advocates can provide victim services within police lockups, focusing on new opportunities created by the Prison Rape Elimination Act standards.
The session features talks by the Program Manager with the International Association of Chiefs of Police and a Captain of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Jail Division. Viewers also have the chance to hear from long-time advocates in the field and from survivors of sexual abuse in police lockups. These perspectives help shed light on the specific needs of survivors and how advocates can help them heal.
