New grants would fund emotional support for incarcerated sexual abuse survivors.
This bill would create new federal grants to provide emotional support services for people who have experienced sexual abuse while in detention. It would also fund training for correctional staff and set up a national center to offer guidance on these services. This means incarcerated survivors could get help they don't currently have, starting in the government's 2027 budget year.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program to fund emotional support services for incarcerated victims of sexual abuse, nor dedicated federal funding for training correctional staff or a national resource center. If this bill becomes law, it would authorize $10 million annually for services, $5 million annually for training, and $2 million annually for a resource center from the government's 2027 budget year through 2032, making these services and resources available.
