follows:
1. Tuesday, November 14, 2006,
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
2. Wednesday, November 15, 2006,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Review Panel on Prison Rape, which
was established pursuant to the Prison
Rape Elimination Act of 2003, Public
Law 108–79, 117 Stat. 972 (codified as
amended at 42 U.S.C. 15601–15609
(2006)), will hold its initial hearing on
November 14–15, 2006, to carry out the
review functions specified at 42 U.S.C.
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15603(b)(3)(A). Results from this
hearing will assist the Panel in
formulating the questions that it will ask
various facilities (including prisons,
jails, and lockups at locations
throughout the United States) at future
hearings of the Review Panel to discern
the best practices for deterring prison
rape.
The Panel chose to hold its initial
hearing at the California State Prison in
Sacramento because the California
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR) is a large system.
The Panel seeks to learn the following
information from large prison systems
similar to the CDCR:
• The factors in a prison environment
conducive to deterring sexual assaults;
• The prison system protocols and
policies requiring examination by the
Panel;
• The staff persons in large systems
that could be potential key witnesses at
future Panel hearings;
• Useful methods for evaluating
prison rape training of correctional
officers and medical staff;
• Likely barriers to reporting,
investigation, and deterrence of prison
rape; and
• Useful methods for assessing the
role of correctional officers’ unions in
deterring prison rape.
The Panel’s decision to hold its initial
hearing at the California State Prison in
Sacramento is not based upon any
ranking or finding by the Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS) concerning the
incidence of prison rape in any facility
of the CDCR. The BJS rankings of all
State and federal facilities (both adult
and juvenile) by incidence of prison
rape are expected to be completed by
June 30, 2007.
Members of the public who wish to
attend the hearing must present photo
identification upon entrance to the
facility. Pursuant to CDCR rules and
regulations, additional identification
documentation may be required. Space
is limited. Special needs requests
should be made to Kathleen M.
Severens, Designated Federal Official,
OJP, Kathleen.Severens@usdoj.gov or
202–514–8827, at least one week prior
to the hearing.
