Collaboration Between Rape Crisis Programs and Corrections Facilities in New Mexico

Collaboration Between Rape Crisis Programs and Corrections Facilities in New Mexico, is part of a webinar series on how corrections agencies and rape crisis programs are working together to ensure that incarcerated survivors get the help that they need and deserve. This interactive session explores the ways that small and large jails alike can benefit from partnerships with community-based organizations and highlights the successful partnership between the Metropolitan Detention Center in Alburquerque, NM (MDC) and the New Mexico Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs (NMCSAP), the statewide sexual assault coalition that provides support to local rape crisis programs. Carla Gallegos-Ortega, Project Manager with NMCSAP, and Roman Varela, PREA Administrator from MDC, join JDI Senior Program Director Jessica Serrano Seipel.
