Sexual Abuse Services in Detention Act

This bill would let the U.S. Attorney General, through the Office for Victims of Crime, give grants to nonprofit groups to provide emotional support services to people in jails, prisons, and other detention facilities who have experienced sexual abuse. These services include crisis help, hotlines, safety planning, and information about reporting options. The bill would also fund grants to train corrections agencies and officers on offering these services. It would require the Attorney General to set up a national resource center that provides guidance, training, and research on these services. It authorizes $10 million, $5 million, and $2 million per year for these three programs for fiscal years 2027 through 2032.
