PREA and Culture Change: Joe Booth

This video is the first in a series documenting the positive impact of the PREA Standards. Produced by the PRC in partnership with Just Detention International, the PREA and Culture Change series features currently and formerly incarcerated people and corrections staff speaking about how PREA is changing the culture of corrections—and making facilities safer for everyone.

 

Joseph Booth was assaulted repeatedly by his cellmate while serving time in California prison. In this video, Joe, who is a member of Just Detention International’s Survivor Council, talks about the advocate and the corrections officials who supported him after the assaults.

The videos are a very useful tool for staff trainings, and other PREA stakeholders—such as advocates, victim services providers, and health care professionals—can also draw on them for their work inside detention facilities.

Each video is also available in an accessible format including closed captions, interactive transcript, and audio descriptions.
