Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2019, $129,387)
Authorized under the Prison Rape Elimination Act and the 2019 Consolidated Appropriations Act, the FY19 PREA Program: Implementing the PREA Standards, Protecting Inmates, and Safeguarding Communities will assist confinement facilities and the agencies that oversee them in implementing prevention, identification, and response mechanisms that reduce the incidence of sexual abuse in these facilities, and to promote compliance with the PREA standards. Program funds will be used to support efforts of state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse in confinement facilities covered by the PREA standards; promote comprehensive implementation of the standards; and enhance community safety by decreasing the likelihood that inmates, residents, and detainees are sexually victimized in confinement facilities prior to release.
The recipient will utilize FY19 Implementing the PREA Standards, Protecting Inmates, and Safeguarding Communities to support the Cherokee Indian Police Department Detention Center. Funds will be utilized to reduce sexual abuse in the detention center by instilling a zero tolerance for sexual abuse culture through development of a PREA education program, staff training, capacity-building strategies, and developing a comprehensive plan to address deficiencies related to preventing, detecting, and responding to prison rape.
