OJJDP PREA fo the California Department of Junvenile Justice

Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) in 2003 with unanimous support from both parties. Congress intended that PREA would 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.

The state of California will use funding to provide mandatory training to staff, including other associated costs, to ensure PREA compliance.
