This guide is a first step in reaching out to correctional agencies to help them identify, address, and respond to abuse of LGBTI individuals through agency policies and procedures. We hope that it will deepen the dialogue between staff and administrators as well as community leaders and criminal justice advocates about strategies to eliminate abuse of people who are LGBTI in custody. The guide also provides key information to correctional agencies about PREA’s impact on agency practice as it relates to individuals who are LGBTI in custody. [Summary adapted from resource.]
