PREA - Prison Rape Elimination Act
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA, P.L. 108-79) was enacted by Congress to address the problem of sexual abuse of persons in the custody of U.S. correctional agencies. Major provisions of PREA include:
Development of standards for detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape;
Collection and dissemination of information on the incidence of prison rape; and
Award of grant funds to help state and local governments implement the purposes of the Act.
The Act applies to all public and private institutions that house adult or juvenile offenders and is also relevant to community-based agencies.
PREA training is required by all Washington State Department of Corrections employees and volunteers. Prisoners For Christ conducts this training twice per year beginning in 2011 and is taught by a PFC volunteer who has been trained by the chaplaincy of the DOC.
