I would exclude the following 5 marker measure from the PBMS report: III.4.1 Inmate-on-Staff Completed Non-consensual Sexual acts III.4.2 Inmate-on-Staff Attempted Non-consensual Sexual acts III.4.3 Inmate-on-Staff Abusive Sexual Contact III.5.3 Civilian-on-Inmate Sexual Misconduct III.5.4 Civilian-on-Inmate Sexual Harassment These measures occur very very rarely. Thanks, Mary Lansing, CT DOC

We at Nebraska Department of Correctional Services have no strong feelings either way as to whether or not to revise the PBMS counting measures to reflect current BJS sexual violence questionaire. We have been collecting the data for PBMS reporting for awhile, and have not found it difficult to discern or report on the additional measures. We note that the information gathered by tracking the extra measures may prove to be of interest sometime in the future; however, it is currently statistically insignificant.

The PBMS sexual violence key indicators were developed to parallel the sexual violence data collected by BJS. We currently collect data regarding III.3 Inmate-On-Inmate Sexual Violence; IIII.4 Inmate-on-Staff Sexual Violence; and III.5 Staff/Civilian-on-Inmate Sexual Misconduct. (The PBMS sexual violence key indicators are listed on pages 31-41 of the PBMS Key Indicators Counting Rules available at http://collaboration.asca.net/system/assets/attachments/594/PBMS_KeyIndicators_04_01_10.pdf?1279031565 The current BJS sexual violence questionnaire for state correctional agencies excludes questions regarding inmate-on-state and civilian-on-inmate sexual behaviors. Should ASCA revise its PBMS system key indicators regarding sexual violence/contacts? Please post your comments and any suggestions for revising the PBMS sexual violence key indicators.

Woo Hoo, Luis!!! Keep working toward KY Blue!!! LOL
Kudos to Luis and his staff for taking this next step in PBMS participation. This additional data helps strengthen PBMS for all users. Bob Lampert, Chair, Performance Base Measures Committee
Woo Hoo!! Come on everyone, lets see KY Blue all over the map!!! lol
Connecticut votes to exclude the following inmate-on-staff and civilian-on-inmate measures: III.4.1 Inmate-on-Staff Completed Non-consensual Sexual acts III.4.2 Inmate-on-Staff Attempted Non-consensual Sexual acts III.4.3 Inmate-on-Staff Abusive Sexual Contact III.5.3 Civilian-on-Inmate Sexual Misconduct III.5.4 Civilian-on-Inmate Sexual Harassment Consistency with the BJS Survey of Sexual Violence is optimal.
SD DOC supports the move towards alignment of the PBMS measures and the BJS annual questionnaire. We feel that this would make for more consistent data in all department reporting. Any indication of when a decision may be made on this? SD DOC is currently in the process of implementing a new offender management data system and would appreciate a prompt decision on this as we are working on the data mapping for PBMS.

Our department supports working to coordinate PBMS sexual violence key indicators so that they are consistent with the reporting required through the BJS annual questionnaire. We feel it is important to work toward consistent definitions to ensure that information reported from either source does not appear to be contradictory or conflicting. Regarding the two areas noted in the email solicitation: (1) we support the BJS method of not separating “civilian” from “staff” for reporting purposes, but rather combining the two; (2) however, we do think it is very important that ASCA maintain the reporting regarding inmate-on-staff behaviors.
We are in favor of adopting BJS PREA categories and counting rules for PBMS because: a) our PREA investigations unit has structured their reporting system according to BJS counting rules. b) having a seperate set of statistics regarding PREA that differs from BJS causes confusion and ultimately distrust in any of the numbers. c) PBMS adopted the draft PREA categories and counting rules because of the desire to move forward on PBMS -- which shows the initial intent to conform with what was going to be collected nationally. Please note this issue goes beyond the addition of two indicators, but also deals with the structure of inmate-on-inmate reporting. BJS does not require a breakdown of attempted versus completed nonconsensual sexual acts, and this distinction is not currently a part of our PREA investigations unit's database.
I see nothing wrong with keeping the key indicators on inmate on staff and civilian on inmate sexual behaviors. There is nothing wrong with keeping more information that what is reported to BJS. I know Indiana uses this information frequently for internal use. I vote for keeping these key indicators.
