PREA Information for Volunteers
The
Prison
Rape
Elimination
Act
(PREA)
was
passed
in
2003
with
unanimous
support
from
both
parties
in
Congress.
The
purpose
of
the
act
was
to
“provide
for
the
analysis
of
the
incidence
and
effects
of
prison
rape
in
Federal,
State,
and
local
institutions
and
to
provide
information,
resources,
recommendations
and
funding
to
protect
individuals
from
prison
rape.”
(Prison
Rape
Elimination
Act,
2003).
In
addition
to
creating
a
mandate
for
significant
research
from
the
Bureau
of
Justice
Statistics
and
through
the
National
Institute
of
Justice,
funding
through
the
Bureau
of
Justice
Assistance
and
the
National
Institute
of
Corrections
supported
major
efforts
in
many
state
correctional,
juvenile
detention,
community
corrections,
and
jail systems.
The
act
also
created
the
National
Prison
Rape
Elimination
Commission
and
charged
it
with
developing
draft
standards
for
the
elimination
of
prison
rape.
Those
standards
were
published
in
June
2009,
and
were
turned
over
to
the
Department
of
Justice for review and passage as a final rule. That final rule became effective August 20, 2012.
