MISSION - WHAT WE DO
JDI is a health and human rights organization that seeks to end sexual abuse in all forms of detention. Founded in 1980, JDI is the only organization in the U.S. – and the world – dedicated exclusively to ending sexual abuse behind bars. We hold government officials accountable for prisoner rape; challenge the attitudes and misperceptions that allow sexual abuse to flourish; and make sure that survivors get the help they need.
VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS
JDI was founded in 1980 by Russell Dan Smith as People Organized to Stop the Rape of Imprisoned Persons (POSRIP). Like many of those involved in the early days of the organization, Mr. Smith himself was a survivor of rape behind bars.
SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
JDI’s work is making a difference. We won the passage of a federal law — the Prison Rape Elimination Act — which recognized that the government has a duty to end sexual abuse in detention. This law paved the way for our groundbreaking work with prisons and jails nationwide that is helping to ensure every prisoner’s safety and dignity.
