When she was sent to jail, a guard gave favors to her and her son and told her that he could help her with her immigration case. When he initiated sex with her, she did not feel comfortable saying no. Because a guard can exercise so much control over the daily life of a detained person, including when she can eat, when she can sleep and when she can be punished notions of consent have little meaning in this context.

The commission can play an Important Role by calling for an end to these family detention policies. When ice does not implement its de

Dhs as a matter of policy con ducks this screening on all unacomp anied children regardless of country of origin. Well come back and ask you questions on those topics, i promise. Thank you. Chairman castro, thank you and distinguished members of civil rights, thank you for allowing me to be here today. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about actions of Border Protection to implement standards to prevent tech and respond to sexual abuse and assault in confinement facilities.

Processes so that when probations are booked, both the Sheriff Department and Adult Probation Department is notified immediately. For the justice reporting portal, i want to show you sample reports. As you can see from little icons, if red, locked one, only Justice Department can see these reports. For public reports such as Domestic Violence it would be open to the public. Just to clarify again, for folks who are watching, justis is an acronym for the justice tracking information system. Thank you commissioner. Thank you. If i can show you the Domestic Violence dashboard, these are four reporter markup, dv cases, arrested and bailed; dv cases arrested and bailed by zip code; dv cases sentenced vs. Dismissed; and dv cases convicted whether felony or misdemeanor. For the first report, if you look at the chart, this report will show by fiscal year the number of cases. When you zoom in on the year you can see by month but the number of dv cases are, and my by days if you further zoom in.
