PREA 2019 Application

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 recommendations, and funding to protect Federal, State, and local institutions and to provide information, resources, individuals from prison rape. PREA funding will be used to support PREA efforts in state-run juvenile correctional facilities. Funds will be used to offset the costs of auditing facilities as required under PREA standard 115.401. The state will provide training and technical assistance to juvenile facilities. NCA/NCF
