Fighting flippant and ill-informed public attitudes about prisoner rape is a constant challenge for SPR. A key organizational goal is to bring accurate information, first-hand survivor accounts, and succinct policy analysis to journalists nationwide.
Building on its extensive media contacts and its solid reputation for thoroughness and accuracy, SPR has been increasingly successful in generating mainstream media coverage that discusses prisoner rape for what it is – a crime and a human rights violation. As a result, the work of SPR and its survivor advocates has been covered in scores of media outlets, including the Associated Press, CNN, The Economist, and USA Today.
