in the start of a na-tional initiative to address sexualassaults on inmates.  \nThe National Prison Projectlaunched a fact-gathering campaignlast fall and received “hundreds andhundreds of letters”from male andfemale inmates in many states alleg-ing they were rape victims,saidACLU fellow Amy Fettig.  \nACLU attorneys expect to un-dertake several more high profilecases over the next year,she said.  \n\"Texas has good policies on pa-per,\"said Fettig,\"but enforcementhas not gotten down to the staff.\"  \nThe lawsuit alleged inmateRoderick Johnson is a \"homosexualwith no history of violence and verylittle prison experience.\"While at aprison facility in Huntsville,he was“appropriately”placed in safekeep-ing \"because of his background andcharacteristics made him a likelytarget for sexual victimization.”  \nAfter being transferred to theAllred Unit,his attorneys asserted,Johnson was placed in the generalpopulation and “predatory inmates”raped him almost immediately.  \n\"Prison officials knew thatgangs made Roderick Johnson their  \n# ACLU Begins National Initiative ToAddress Sexual Assaults On Inmates\n\nsex slave and did nothing to helphim,\"said Margaret Winter,Asso-ciate Director of the ACLU's Na-tional Prison Project.  \n“Our lawsuit shows that Texasprison officials think black mencan't be victims and believe gaymen always want sex so they threwour client to the wolves.\"  \nAccording to the ACLU com-plaint,Johnson appeared before theprison's all-white classificationcommittee seven separate times ask-ing to be placed in safe keepingfrom predatory prisoners.  \nFettig said the complaint filedin Wichita Falls and one planned inColorado are the start of a nation-wide initiative that the organizationis undertaking to bring wide atten-tion to sexual assaults in prisons.  \nACLU attorneys claimed prisonofficials at the Allred Unit whereJohnson was held\"were well awareof his plight but refused to conductany meaningful investigation of hiscomplaints and refused his repeatedpleas to be housed in safekeeping.\"  \nThe Texas Department ofCriminal Justice transferred John-son to the Michael Unit in EastTexas and placed
