THE PRISON RAPE PANELISTS. Further adventures in the crimes statistics search led to the discovery that a Review Panel on Prison Rape was empanelled on March 29, 2006 over at the Department of Justice, and that one of its three members is Steven McFarland, a faith-based bureaucrat at DoJ. In light of the prison rape blogging of recent weeks, that's probably something worth looking into.
