Sexual harassment and sexual misconduct against incarcerated persons violates either the law or corrections policy in all 50 states. Incarcerated men and women who experience verbal or physical harassment, assault or misconduct have the right to remedy the abuse. Corrections institutions should also remedy this conduct because sexual misconduct threatens both personal and institutional security. This publication provides critical information and strategies to address this problem. This publication is designed for incarcerated peoples and others concerned about sexual misconduct in correctional institutions.
An End to Silence: Prisoners' Handbook on Identifying and Addressing Sexual Misconduct is the 2nd edition of a 1998 publication which originally focused on women. Four years later, it is clear that sexual abouse in institutional settings affects both men and women.
