Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Sexual Abuse Services in Detention Act authorizes federal grants to provide emotional support services and counseling for people in jails and prisons who have experienced sexual abuse. The bill targets nonprofit organizations specializing in sexual abuse counseling to partner with correctional facilities and deliver crisis intervention, trauma processing, safety planning, and hotline services to incarcerated survivors. The legislation also funds training programs to help correctional staff and agencies establish these services, and establishes a national resource center to provide guidance and share best practices on implementing emotional support programs in detention settings. The bill authorizes $10 million annually for direct services grants, $5 million yearly for training grants, and $2 million per year for the resource center, with funding available from fiscal years 2027 through 2032. The program is administered by the Attorney General through the Office for Victims of Crime.
