PREA and Access Considerations for Autistic People and People on the Autism Spectrum

Autistic people and people on the autism spectrum who are in custody often experience environmental, sensory, and communication barriers that can threaten their safety. In this webinar, Allison Hastings from Activating Change provides an overview of disability, incarceration, and sexual victimization and discusses access considerations that can increase sexual safety for autistic people in custody. She offers practical strategies that facilities can use to make PREA-related prevention and response functions more accessible to autistic people in custody, in accordance with the requirements of Standard §115.16.

This is the second of three webinars in our disability series.
