prevalence of reported sexual
victimization, and formed the basis of
the Panel’s decision about which prison
and jail facilities would be the subject
of testimony. These hearings will
supplement the record that the Panel
developed during its January 8, 2014,
hearings on sexual victimization in
certain U.S. prisons and jails.
