Enhanced training to secure facility and direct care staff on culturally competent care for LGBTQ/GNC youth.

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. 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. Funding will be used to provide enhanced training to staff on culturally competent care for all youth. NCA/NCF
