Sexual Abuse Services in Detention Act
This bill establishes federal funding to provide emotional support services for survivors of sexual abuse in detention facilities. It authorizes $10 million annually for grants to nonprofit organizations with expertise in sexual abuse counseling to deliver direct services (like crisis intervention, safety planning, and counseling) to incarcerated survivors. It also allocates $5 million yearly for training corrections staff and $2 million for a national resource center to develop best practices and share resources on supporting survivors in correctional settings. All funding is for fiscal years 2024-2029 and must supplement, not replace, existing programs.
