Prison rape elimination act

This course is an advanced PREA Course which includes investigations.   It was designed to challenge the attendee’s knowledge of the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003.  We will address the concerns of prison rape and how it has evolved to the level of forcing federal interventions and mandates. Prison rape occurs in many of the prisons across the United States. It doesn't just impact adults, it also impacts juveniles. The mandate, simply put, is there is zero-tolerance for prison rape. Also, any information, in regard to prison rape, must be reported and investigated. This course will walk you through the process of understanding what rape is, how it begins, and how it evolves. We will also discuss the consequences of perpetrators who rape inmates as well as those who fail to report it. In this course, we will walk through the entire process, from the initial incident to prosecution. Attendees will be educated on their responsibilities and requirements to ensure that individuals, who are incarcerated, reside with the right to be free of fear of being raped, that they are not retaliated against for reporting rape, that officers are mandated to prevent and report rape, and that individuals who are known to be at risk are protected.
