TAKE ACTION: Tell the DOJ to address sexual abuse in detention

http://justdetention.org/en/takeaction.aspx   please go to the website

Right now, you can help make sure that the Department of Justice
protects all people behind bars from the pain and trauma of sexual
abuse. The Department has released proposed national standards
addressing sexual abuse in detention, and is accepting public comments
until April 4, 2011.  

The proposed standards include basic
measures for prisons and jails to follow in order to prevent and
respond to sexual abuse. You can read the standards here.

Your
comments will have an impact on the final standards, which – once
adopted by Attorney General Eric Holder – will be binding on prisons
nationwide.
