Sexual Abuse or Harassment in Jail/Prison

New York Prison Harassment Attorneys

Corrections officers are trusted with the care of prisoners awaiting trial or serving prison terms. However, just because you’ve been accused of a crime or have been convicted doesn’t mean you don’t have rights. At times, corrections officers may abuse the power that they have been trusted with to subject those under their care to excessive frisks or un-needed strip searches. Corrections Officers may also use their power to engage in sexual harassment or to pursue sexual favors in exchange for special treatment.
