PREA Act Information

The Prison Rape Elimination Act (“PREA”) is a federal law that prohibits sexual misconduct in correctional settings such as prisons, jails, lockups, juvenile facilities, and INS detention facilities.

Sexual misconduct under this law includes:

  • Offender-on-offender sexual assault and abuse;
  • Staff-on-offender sexual misconduct (sexual/inappropriate relationships with inmates);
  • Offender-on-offender and staff-on-offender sexual harassment.

The David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center (“DLM”) is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for staff and inmates. DLM has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct of any kind and will impose discipline for such misconduct, up to and including dismissal for staff and serious infractions for inmates who victimize other inmates. Incidents of sexual misconduct will also be referred to law enforcement when applicable. DLM’s policies regarding sexual misconduct apply to all inmates, both incarcerated and on community supervision. They also apply to employees, contractors, and volunteers.

How do I Report Sexual Misconduct?

DLM INVESTIGATES ALL ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.
