All victims of sexual abuse suffer in mind, body, and spirit. Unfortunately, in the wake of a prison sexual assault, the lack of counseling services, legal help, and even physical safety leaves survivors at high risk for developing serious, long-term psychological problems. As the only organization in the U.S. devoted to ending sexual violence in detention, JDI works with survivors and their loved ones to make sure that they get the information and help they need.

JDI mobilizes hundreds of service providers, throughout the U.S., that are able to offer counseling, legal help, and other core services to survivors of sexual abuse in detention. JDI’s resource materials, written by experts and survivors themselves, help to end the isolation that can be so devastating in the aftermath of abuse.
