This guide is intended to support rape crisis centers (RCCs) and other victim service providers in building relationships with local jails in order to provide incarcerated individuals access to sexual abuse services. On any given day, there are more than 600,000 people held in U.S. jails – typically with limited access to programming and emotional support services. This guide will help RCCs initiate contact with the appropriate officials to get a program started and to maintain emotional support services for people in their local jail’s custody.
