Congratulations Secretary Crews and staff on "getting into the Pink". Moving a large agency such as yours along the path of PBMS participation is never easy. But you have stepped up to the challenge and are again demonstrating that with solid leadership and support from the top, our staff will somehow get it done. I hope you will consider joining our Committee and sharing your lessons learned with others. Again Kudos and thank you. Bob Lampert Chair Performance Measures Committee

Thanks, Mary Lansing, CT DOC

PBMS Sexual Violence Key Indicators   /   B.J. Spring   /   10/14/2010 04:37 PM
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.

PBMS Sexual Violence Key Indicators   /   Patricia Hardyman   /   10/04/2010 07:32 PM
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.
