SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) 2,100,146 persons were incarcerated in the United States
at the end of 2001: 1,324,465 in Federal and State prisons and
631,240 in county and local jails. In 1999, there were more than
10,000,000 separate admissions to and discharges from prisons
and jails.
(2) Insufficient research has been conducted and insufficient
data reported on the extent of prison rape. However, experts have
conservatively estimated that at least 13 percent of the inmates in
the United States have been sexually assaulted in prison. Many
inmates have suffered repeated assaults. Under this estimate,
nearly 200,000 inmates now incarcerated have been or will be the
victims of prison rape. The total number of inmates who have
been sexually assaulted in the past 20 years likely exceeds
1,000,000.
(3) Inmates with mental illness are at increased risk of sexual
victimization. America's jails and prisons house more mentally ill
individuals than all of the Nation's psychiatric hospitals combined.
As many as 16 percent of inmates in State prisons and jails, and 7
percent of Federal inmates, suffer from mental illness.
( 4) Young first-time offenders are at increased risk of sexual
victimization. Juveniles are 5 times more likely to be sexually
PUBL I C LAW 108-79-S E P T . 4, 2003
117 STAT.
973
assaulted in adult rather than juvenile facilities -often within the first 48 hours of
incarceration.
(5) Most prison staff are not adequately trained or prepared to prevent,
report, or treat inmate sexual assaults.
(6) Prison rape often goes unreported, and inmate victims often receive
inadequate treatment for the severe physical and psychological effects of sexual
assault -if they receive treatment at all.
(7) HIV and AIDS are major public health problems within America's
correctional facilities. In 2 000, 25,088 inmates in Federal and State prisons were
known to be infected with HIV/AIDS. In 2000, HIV/AIDS accounted for more
than 6 percent of all deaths in Federal and State prisons. Infection rates for other
sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis , and hepa titis Band C are also far
greater for prisoners than for the American population as a whole. Prison rape
undermines the public health by contributing to the spread of these diseases, and
often giving a potential death sentence to its victims.
(8) Prison rape endangers the public safety by making brutalized inmates
more likely to commit crimes when they are released -as 600,000 inmates are
each year. '
(9) T he frequently interracial character of prison sexual assaults
significantly exacerbates interracial' tensions, both within prison and, upon
release of perpetrators and victims from prison, in the community at large.
(10) Prison rape increases the level of homicides and other violence against
inmates and staff, and the risk of insurrections and riots.
(11) Victims of prison rape suffer severe physical and psychological effects
that hinder their ability to integrate into the community and maintain stable
employment upon their release from prison. T hey are thus more likely to
become home less and/or require government assistance.
(12) Members of the public and government officials are largely unaware of
the epidemic character of prison rape and
the day-to-day horror experienced by victimized inmates.
'
(13) T he high incidence of sexua l assault within prisons involves actual and
potential violations of the United States Constitution. In Farmer v. Brennan, 511
U.S. 825 (1994), the Supreme Court ruled that deliberate indifference to the
substantial risk of sexual assault violates prisoner s' rights under the Cruel and
Unusual Punishments Clause of the Eighth Amendment. The E ighth
Amendment rights of State and local prisoners are protected through the Due
Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pursuant to the power of
Congress under Sec tion Five of the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress may take
action to enforce those rights in States where officials have demonstrated such
indifference. States that do not take basic steps to abate prison rape by adopting
stand ards that do not generate sign ificant additional expenditures demonstrate
such indifference. Therefore, such States are not entitled to the same level of
Federal benefits as other States.
(14) T he high incidence of prison rape undermines the effectiveness and
efficiency of United States Government expenditures through grant programs
such as those dealing with health care; mental health care; disease prevention;
crime prevention, investigat ion, and prosecution; prison construction,
117 STAT.
974
PUBL I C LAW 108-79-SEPT. 4, 2003
maintenance, and operation; race relations; poverty; unemploy ment and homelessness. T he ef f ectiveness and efficiency of these
feder ally f unded grant pr ograms ar e compr omised by the failure of
State officials to adopt policies and pr ocedures that reduce the
incidence of prison rape in that the high incidence of prison rape: (A) increases the costs incur r ed by Feder al, State, and
local ju risdictions to administer their prison systems;
(B) increases the levels of violence, directed at inmates
and at staf f , within prisons;
(C) increases health care expenditures, both inside and
outside of prison systems, and reduces the ef f ectiveness of
disease prevention pr ogr ams by substantially increasing the
incidence and spr ead of HN, AIDS, tuberculosis, hepa titis
Band C, and other diseases;
(D) increases mental health care expenditur es, both
inside and outside of prison systems, by substantially
increasing the r ate of post -traumatic stress disor der,
depression, suicide, and the exacer bation of existing mental
illnesses among current and f ormer inmates;
(E) incr eases the risks of r ecidivism, civil strife, and
violent crime by individuals who have been brutalized by
prison rape; and
(F) increases the level of interracial tensions and strife
within prisons and, upon release of perpetrators and vic tims,
in the community at large.
(15) The high incidence of prison rape has a significant effect
on inter state. commer ce because it increases substantially (A) the costs incur r ed by Federal, State, and local
jurisdictions to administer their prison systems;
(B) the incidence and spread of HIV, AIDS, tuber culosis,
hepatitis Band C, and other diseas es, contributing to
increased health and medical expenditures throughout the
Nation;
(C) the rate of post-traumatic stress disor der, depres sion,
suicide, and the exacerbation of existing mental ill nesses
among current and former inmates, contributing to increased
health and medical expenditures throughout the Nation; and
(D) the risk of recidivism, civil strife, and violent crime
by individuals who have been brutalized by prison rape.
S E C. 3. PURPOSES.
42 use 15602.
T he purposes of this Act are to (1) establish a zer o -toler ance standard for the incidence of
prison rape in prisons in the United States;

prevention, r eduction, and punishment of prison rape; ( 4) increase
the available data and inf ormation on the incidence of prison
rape, consequently improving the manage ment and administration
of cor r ectional facilities;
(5) standar dize the definitions used f or collec ting data on the
incidence of prison rape;
PUBL I C LAW 108-79-SEPT. 4, 2003
117 STAT. 975
(6) increase the accountability of prison officials who f ail to
detect, pr event, reduce, and punish prison rape;
(7) protect the Eighth Amendment rightsof Feder al, State, and
local prisoners;
(8) incr ease the efficiency and ef f ectiveness of Federal
expenditures through grant programs such as those dealing with
health car e; mental health care; disease prevention; crime prevention,
investigation, and pr os ecution; prison construction, maintenance, and
oper ation; race relations; poverty; unemploy ment; and homelessness;
and .
(9) reduce the costs that prison r ape imposes on inter state
commerce.

Hello. My name is ( ) and I work for Westat, a research firm outside of Washington, DC. We are working with the U.S.
Department of Justice on a special study called the National Survey of Youth in Custody. Today I would like to show you
some of the questions we are considering for the study and get your reactions to them. Let’s start by going over some
details about the study.
HAND COPY OF ASSENT FORM TO R AND READ FORM ALOUD
ANSWER PARTICIPANT’S QUESTIONS, IF ANY, AND ASK FOR ASSENT.
Are you willing to participate in this study?
IF R SAYS “YES”, ASK THEM TO MARK THE “YES” BOX. INTERVIEWER WILL THEN SIGN
AND DATE THE YOUTH ASSENT FORM.
IF THE R SAYS “NO”, ASK THEM TO MARK THE “NO” BOX, THANK THEM, AND END THE
INTERVIEW.
Thank you.
Now I’m going to hand you the questions a few at a time. I will read them aloud while you look at them.
After I’ve finished reading the question, you can circle your answer. Later, there will be some questions
that I ask you NOT to answer, but just to look at and think about. For those, I’ll let you know before I
show them to you.
After you answer each question, we will stop to talk about it. I might ask you to tell me what you were
thinking about when you answered the question, what the question was asking, or anything else you
might think about the question. We are also interested in whether any of the words or phrases in the
question are confusing or awkward. This will help us figure out how we can improve the questions.
Sometimes, I’ll ask you about some of the words in the question. If you don't understand a question,
please tell me, because that's just the sort of thing I’m trying to find out here.
Do you have any questions before we begin?

National Survey of Youth in Custody (NSYC-3)
Spanish Cognitive Interview Guide
Version 2
Hello. My name is ( ) and I work for Westat, a research firm outside of Washington, DC. We are working with the U.S.
Department of Justice on a special study called the National Survey of Youth in Custody. Today I would like to show you
some of the questions we are considering for the study and get your reactions to them. Let’s start by going over some
details about the study.
HAND COPY OF ASSENT FORM TO R AND READ FORM ALOUD
ANSWER PARTICIPANT’S QUESTIONS, IF ANY, AND ASK FOR ASSENT.
Are you willing to participate in this study?
IF R SAYS “YES”, ASK THEM TO MARK THE “YES” BOX. INTERVIEWER WILL THEN SIGN
AND DATE THE YOUTH ASSENT FORM.
IF THE R SAYS “NO”, ASK THEM TO MARK THE “NO” BOX, THANK THEM, AND END THE
INTERVIEW.
Thank you.
Now I’m going to hand you the questions a few at a time. I will read them aloud while you look at them.
After I’ve finished reading the question, you can circle your answer. Sometimes, there will be some
questions that I ask you NOT to answer, but just to look at and think about. For those, I’ll let you know
before I show them to you.
After you answer each question, we will stop to talk about it. I might ask you to tell me what you were
thinking about when you answered the question, what the question was asking, or anything else you
might think about the question. We are also interested in whether any of the words or phrases in the
question are confusing or awkward. This will help us figure out how we can improve the questions.
Sometimes, I’ll ask you about some of the words in the question. If you don't understand a question,
please tell me, because that's just the sort of thing I’m trying to find out here, OK?
Do you have any questions before we begin?

Facility Youth Assent Form (Spanish version) (Page 3-3)
National Survey of Youth in Custody – Youth Assent Form
The U.S. Department of Justice is doing a special study called the National Survey of Youth in Custody to learn
more about what it is like for young people living in correctional facilities. The government will use the study
to see if changes need to be made at facilities like this.
I would like you to help with this study by showing you some of the questions that we would like to add to that
survey. I am interested in whether you understand the questions. If you agree, we will spend about one hour
talking about the questions. The questions cover a variety of topics about what things are like at this facility,
relationships between youth, and questions about the staff here.
Some of the questions ask about rules and behaviors that might involve sexual activity. For these questions, I
will ask you not to actually answer the questions or talk about yourself or anyone else here. I only want to find
out if the questions make sense to you.
You do not have to take part in this study – your participation is completely voluntary. Your decision will not
affect your case or the services that you get in any way.
If you agree to take part, you can stop answering questions at any point. If there is a question that you do not
want to talk about, you can skip it.
To help keep everything private:
I will not ask for your name.
Everything that you say will be confidential – that is, no one will know your answers.
But there is one important exception to the privacy rule. If you tell me about any abuse or harm to you
or another youth, it will be reported to the government agency that investigates these kinds of problems.
There are no direct benefits to participating, but your answers will help us improve the survey. Some of the
questions that we will ask you to talk about ask about private and sensitive things and may bother you. If
thinking about the questions upsets you or makes you sad, you may want to talk with a counselor at the
facility. If you do not want to talk to a counselor who works here, arrangements can be made to talk with a
counselor who does not work at the facility.
If you have any questions about the study or about your rights as a study participant, you can talk to
(FACILITY CONTACT NAME) at (FACILITY NAME) or you can call Susan Cross, the project coordinator,
at 1-800-937-8182, ext. 2664. If you have questions about your rights as a study participant, you can call
Sharon Zack from the Westat Human Subjects Protections office at 1-800-937-8281, ext. 8828.
Do you have any questions?
RESEARCHER: Indicate youth’s choice by checking one of the boxes below and signing and dating the form.
Yes, youth agreed to talk about questions that might be asked on a national survey.
No, youth did not agree.

Estudio Nacional de Jóvenes Detenidos – Formulario de consentimiento de jóvenes
El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos realiza un estudio especial llamado el Estudio Nacional de Jóvenes
Detenidos con el fin de saber cómo viven los jóvenes en instituciones correccionales. El gobierno utilizará este estudio
para ver si es necesario hacer cambios en estas instituciones.
Quisiera que me ayudes con este estudio opinando sobre algunas de las preguntas que queremos agregar a esa encuesta.
Me interesa saber si entiendes las preguntas. Si aceptas, hablaremos sobre las preguntas por aproximadamente una hora.
Las preguntas son acerca de cómo son las cosas en esta institución, las relaciones entre los jóvenes y preguntas acerca
del personal que trabaja acá.
Algunas de las preguntas son acerca de la manera en la que los jóvenes interactúan con el personal, la actividad sexual
entre jóvenes, y los problemas físicos, mentales o emocionales. Para estas preguntas, te pediré que no contestes las
preguntas y que no hables ni de ti ni de ninguna otra persona de este lugar. Únicamente quiero saber si las preguntas
tienen sentido para ti. Te avisaré antes de cada grupo de preguntas para que sepas si tienes que contestar o no las preguntas.
No estás obligado a participar en este estudio y tu participación es completamente voluntaria. Tu decisión no afectará de
ninguna manera tu caso ni los servicios que recibes.
Si aceptas participar, puedes detener la entrevista en cualquier momento. Si hay una pregunta de la que no quieras hablar,
puedes saltártela.
Con el fin de ayudar a mantener todo de manera confidencial:
No te preguntaré tu nombre.
Tu nombre no aparecerá en nuestros apuntes de la entrevista. Nuestro informe podría incluir citas textuales de lo
que nos digas, pero tu nombre no se mencionará en ningún informe.
Todo lo que digas se mantendrá en privado. No compartiremos tus respuestas con otras personas, es decir, nadie
sabrá tus respuestas.
Sin embargo, hay una excepción importante a esta regla de confidencialidad. Si tú me dices que tú u otro joven ha
sido objeto de abusos o maltratos, se lo tendremos que informar a la agencia gubernamental que investiga estos
informes.
No recibirás ningún beneficio por participar, pero tus respuestas nos ayudarán a mejorar la encuesta. Existe el riesgo de
que algunas de estas preguntas que te hagamos sean sobre cosas privadas y delicadas que podrían molestarte. Si pensar
sobre estas preguntas te molesta o entristece, puedes hablar con un consejero de esta institución. Si no quieres hablar
con un consejero que trabaje acá, se puede hacer una cita para que hables con un consejero que no trabaje en esta
institución.
Si tienes preguntas acerca del estudio o sobre tus derechos como participante de un estudio, puedes hablar con
(FACILITY CONTACT NAME) de (FACILITY NAME) o puedes llamar a Susan Cross, la coordinadora del proyecto,
al 1-800-937-8182, ext. 2664. Si tienes preguntas acerca de tus derechos como participante de un estudio, puedes
llamar a Sharon Zack de la Oficina de Protección de Participantes en Estudios de Westat al 1-800-937-8281, ext. 8828
y menciona que llamas acerca del Estudio Nacional de Jóvenes Detenidos. ¿Tienes alguna pregunta?
¿Aceptas participar en este estudio especial? Por favor, indica tu preferencia al marcar uno de los recuadros a
continuación.
Sí. Al marcar este recuadro estoy diciendo que comprendo las afirmaciones anteriores y que acepto participar
en este estudio.
No. Al marcar este recuadro estoy diciendo que no quiero participar en este estudio.

Subject:
Expedited Amendment Approval of NATIONAL PRISON RAPE STAT, Project
Number 8733
FWA 00005551
As Administrator of the Westat Institutional Review Board (IRB), I reviewed the materials submitted for
the following: NATIONAL PRISON RAPE STAT, Project Number 8733. The Westat IRB reviews all
studies involving research on human subjects. This project was last reviewed in November 2016.
This request for approval was to conduct cognitive testing of the NSYC-3 instrument with Spanishspeaking youth using a modified cognitive testing protocol.
The regulations (45 CFR 46) permit expedited review of minor changes in previously approved activities. I
am therefore approving the modifications under expedited authority.
Please note the following:
cc:
You are required to submit this study for a continuing review before June 14, 2017.
IRB approval is required before any new or modified research activities are conducted or when
there is a problem involving risks to human subjects.
Upon learning of an incident, you must contact the IRB Office within 24 hours via telephone (301610-8828) or email ([email protected]).

State Director/Commissioner
1. Designate a State Liaison: The State Director/Commissioner will select a state staff
person who will serve as a liaison to the study. This liaison will work with the residential
juvenile facilities and Westat to prepare for and coordinate the research team visit.
2. Provide State Clearance: The State Director/Commissioner will provide authorization,
via the State Liaison, for Westat to contact the selected facilities in your state to arrange for
participation in this research study.
State Liaison
1. Inform Facility Superintendent/Administrator and Identify a Facility Coordinator:
The State Liaison will contact the superintendents/administrators of the selected facilities in
the state to inform them of the NSYC study and identify a staff person in the facility who will
serve as the point-of-contact for scheduling and arranging for the research team visit.
2. Communicate Requirements to Obtain Informed Consent for Minors: The State
Liaison will confirm that the state/facility can provide consent for adjudicated minors to
participate in the interview on behalf of the legal guardians (in loco parentis).
3. Confirm State Mandatory Reporting Procedures: The State Liaison will confirm how
incidents should be reported to child welfare authorities if a youth informs the research team
of abuse or neglect. Prior to the visit, the team will need to understand the state mandatory
reporting procedures and will need the telephone number and paperwork requirements (if
applicable) for submitting a report.
4. Specify Security Clearance Requirements for Westat Interview Staff: The State
Liaison will specify any special requirements for the research team to gain access to the
facilities. This may include special identification requirements or background checks.
5. Identify External Counseling Resources: The State Liaison will confirm that both
internal and external counseling will be available to youth who participate in the interview.
The Westat Institutional Review Board (IRB) requires that youth receive counseling if they
become upset after the interview or if they ask to speak to a counselor. If the youth requests
to speak to someone who is not a facility counselor, arrangements must be in place for the
youth to speak privately with an outside counselor.

Facility coordinator
2.
Recruit Spanish-language youth participants: The facility will identify 8 to 10 state-placed adjudicated
youth whose primary language is Spanish to participate in a 60 minute interview. The selected youth
should be cooperative, articulate, and comfortable talking with the Westat researchers in Spanish. In
addition, the youth should reflect a mix of the following characteristics:
Gender (if co-ed facility)
Age (over and under 15 years old)
Length of time in facility (at least 6 months)
3.
Obtain consent for youth to participate through In loco parentis, in which the facility provides
consent in lieu of the parent/guardian. This procedure has previously been approved by Westat’s IRB in
cases where the agency or facility is willing to accept responsibility for providing consent.
4.
Coordinate visit logistics:
A.
Schedule the facility visit. The POC will coordinate with Westat to schedule the visit based on
the facility schedule, expected number of youth, and availability of researchers. The research
team will consist of two Westat staff. All interviews will be completed in one day.
B. Coordinate and schedule youth interviews. The POC will arrange the schedule to ensure the
selected youth are available. The interview schedule will be prepared and confirmed with the
facility in advance of the interviewers’ visit. Each interview will last approximately 60 minutes
with a 30 minute break scheduled between each session. Interviews may be scheduled
between 8 am and 6 pm.
C. Identify and prepare interview rooms. The POC will identify 2 rooms or semi-closed spaces
where each researcher will conduct the interviews. Each room/space must:
o Provide privacy to ensure that the interview will be conducted without interruption or
the youth respondent being seen by staff or other youth.
o Contain a table and two chairs
o Be available for the duration of the interviewers’ visit
D. Provide support during data collection. The POC will arrange for staff to escort youth to and
from the interview rooms. He/She should also be easily accessible in case issues arise during
the interviews.
5.
Arrange for counseling services: While we do not anticipate the content of the interview to upset the
participants, the POC should ensure that counseling is available for youth, if requested. The POC should
identify a counseling resource at the facility and a counselor outside of the facility if the youth requests
one.
6.
Define mandatory reporting procedures: Westat researchers are considered subject to state and
local mandatory reporting requirements. If youth make verbal allegations of abuse or harm to a
researcher, a report will be made. General procedures will be specified by the agency liaison. However,
the POC will be asked to define the specific procedures for the facility (e.g., name and contact
information for the agency designated to receive the report).
