Safety Matters: Managing Relationships in Women's Facilities is a research-based, gender-informed training delivered to agency/jurisdiction teams of corrections professionals with responsibility for the safe and effective management of women in correctional facilities. The focus of this program is providing enhanced tools for correctional practitioners to address potentially dangerous and compromising relationships that can occur within a women's facility, while supporting the building of healthy and safe relationships. The training blends virtual instructor-led training (VILT) and onsite classroom instructor-led training (ILT) with a targeted ILT follow up training of staff trainers (TOT). Program content is drawn from PREA-related National Institute of Justice and Bureau of Justice Statistics research and data specific to sexual and physical safety in women's prisons.
