The Rose M. Singer Center (RMSC) on Rikers Island, NYC juvenile detention facilities, and other correctional institutions have well-documented histories of abuse. If you experienced sexual abuse while incarcerated or detained at any NYC jail, juvenile facility, or detention center — whether by corrections officers, guards, counselors, or other staff — the new Gender Motivated Violence Protection Law creates an opportunity to seek justice. We investigate claims against anyone who abused their authority over incarcerated or detained individuals.
