Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)

About

On September 4, 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003 (P.L. 108-79). The goal of PREA is to eradicate prisoner rape in all types of correctional facilities in this country. As a result of PREA, the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) established the Protecting Inmates and Safeguarding Communities Program in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004.

House of Commons is committed to supporting the full implementation of PREA with the goal of preventing, reducing and eliminating sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, and sexual abuse in community confinement facilities. This goal will be met by having a zero tolerance operating guideline for sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse, educating clients and training staff regarding PREA, adopting effective PREA operating guidelines, providing safety from sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse, support reporting of sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse, investigate and report incidents of sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse, provide medical and mental health interventions for victims of sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse and meet compliance with the federal PREA auditing requirements.
