When a Person Isn’t a Data Point: Making Evidence-Based Practice Work
By Lowenkamp, Christopher T.; Holsinger, Alexander M.; Robinson, Charles R.; Cullen, Francis T..
This article presents a critical look at the use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in corrections. “While we [the authors] agree that the field of corrections has increased the quality of programming and services over the years (i.e., listening to the data points), we argue that the EBP movement in the field of corrections is widespread but exceedingly shallow (failing to see the person) … In an effort to illustrate how we have missed the essence of EBP in corrections, we present the history of...

By Smith, Brenda V.; Loomis, Melissa C..
National PREA Resource Center (Washington, DC); American University. Washington College of Law. Project on Addressing Prison Rape (Washington, DC).
“Inmates and detainees retain a limited privacy right when detained in correctional settings, particularly in the context of cross-gender searches.

These decisions are highly fact-sensitive, and the jurisprudence has evolved rapidly. This document provides an overview of cross-gende... Read More

Anti-Fraternization Policies and their Utility in Preventing Staff Sexual Abuse in Custody
By Smith, Brenda V.; Loomis, Melissa C..
National PREA Resource Center (Washington, DC); American University. Washington College of Law. Project on Addressing Prison Rape (Washington, DC).
