A call was held via video conference in December between the JDI coaches and the TDCJ team. This call was used as an introduction of all coaches and team members, and allowed the coaches to explain the implementation guide, time task plan, and the scope of their role. During this reporting period, the coaches initiated contact with The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) via email and conducted an introductory video call to define their role, and PRC?'s expectations for the implementation plan. TDCJ envisions a project that introduces new tools via electronic tablets to be used during intake to help them assess an individual?'s risk of being sexually abused while in custody. The coaches are mindful that technology alone cannot eliminate sexual abuse in a detention setting, and coaches will encourage the grantees to think about the tablets as part of a larger effort integrating policies and agency culture.
