Agreement Number 12-94-0006 Confidentiality Information concerning the identity of a detainee victim reporting a sexual assault, and the facts of the report itself, shall be limited to those who have the need to know in order to make decisions concerning the detainee-victim's welfare and for law enforcement investigative purposes. Report All Assaults! If you become a victim of a sexual assault, you should report it immediately to any staff person you trust, to include housing officers, chaplains, medical staff, supervisors or Deputy U.S. Marshals. Staff members keep the reported information confidential and only discuss it with the appropriate officials on a need to know basis. If you are not comfortable reporting the assault to staff, you have other options: • Write a letter reporting the sexual misconduct to the person in charge or the United States Marshal. To ensure confidentiality, use special (Legal) mail procedures. • File an Emergency Detainee Grievance - If you decide your complaint is too sensitive to file with the Officer in Charge, you can file your Grievance directly with the Field Office Director. You can get the forms from your housing unit officer, or a Facility supervisor. • Write to the Office of Inspector General (OIG), which investigates allegations of staff misconduct. The address is: Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Ave. Room 4706, Washington, DC. 20530 • Call, at no expense to you, the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The phone number is 1-800-869-4499. Individuals who sexually abuse or assault detainees can only be disciplined or prosecuted if the abuse is reported.
