PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
- KEEPING IT REAL
CHJ's new substance abuse education program, "Keeping it Real" will provide critical HIV and substance abuse education through a rotating series of six workshops in jail units that house self-identified gay men (the "K6G Unit" of Men's Central Jail) and women who are housed at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF).
- CHJ's WOMEN'S PEER EDUCATION PROGRAM
CHJ's Women's Peer Education Program (WPEP), our first treatment-focused intervention with positive women, will meet the unmet education and healthcare access needs of HIV+ and at-risk women in the L.A. County Jail. The goal of WPEP is to educate and empower HIV+ women to stay healthy and advocate for their own healthcare, both during incarceration and after release.

Health Justice Prisoner Hotline
Center for Health Justice has a free national prisoner HIV prevention & treatment hotline service that accepts collect calls from inmates during our regular business hours (Monday-Friday 8 to 3pm). Our hotline allows us to provide general HIV treatment and prevention information, support for callers who are ill or newly diagnosed HIV+, and advocacy support regarding medical care, medications, or other health related issues inside the jails and prisons across the country. In correctional facilities where we currently have programs, prisoners can call the Health Justice Hotline to request a one-on-one counseling session, get a referral for HIV testing in the jails, or to seek assistance on putting together a pre-release health plan.
