PREA Program Strategic Support for PREA Implementation in Local Confinement Facilities Nationwide

Authorized under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, the FY17 PREA Program: Strategic Support for PREA Implementation in Local Confinement Facilities Nationwide will support local agencies that oversee efforts in small- and medium-sized jails, lockups, community confinement facilities, and juvenile confinement facilities to initiate or expand implementation of the PREA standards and zero tolerance cultures related to sexual abuse and sexual harassment in these confinement facilities. The national training and technical assistance provider will work with competitively selected local agencies to review and assess their efforts to implement the PREA standards and zero tolerance cultures related to sexual abuse and sexual harassment; develop plans to implement the standards and zero tolerance cultures; and oversee implementation efforts funded by this program.

Impact Justice will partner with the Center for Children’s Law and Policy, the Vera Institute of Justice, and the American Correctional Association to provide targeted training and technical assistance to 20 sites to support PREA implementation in local confinement facilities throughout the country. In addition, Impact Justice will produce a comprehensive guide for effective implementation of the PREA standards specifically for small and locally run correctional facilities. CA/NCF
