Prisoner Rape in the News

Via the UNSHACKLE List-serve, from www.justdetention.org:



Dear Friends,

Throughout the past three decades, Just Detention International has been committed to speaking the truth about prisoner rape - highlighting the facts that sexual abuse in detention is devastating to its victims and almost wholly preventable. As part of this effort, we continue to write op-ed pieces and letters-to-the-editor, and to offer interviews for news stories about incidents of prisoner rape. If you click on the links below, you will find some of our recent media coverage.

Many thanks for you support of the effort to end prisoner rape.

Sincerely, 
Lovisa Stannow
Executive Director
