Indiana Juvenile Correctional Facility PREA Compliance

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 grantee plans to support PREA programming in youth facilities.

With these funds, the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) will offset the costs of complying with staffing ratios in juvenile facilities as required under PREA standard 115.313.
