Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), which was signed into law in 2003 by President George W. Bush. This law aims to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse and harassment of inmates in all detention settings, including federal, state, and local prisons, as well as jails and juvenile facilities. PREA requires facilities to develop and implement strict anti-sexual assault policies and procedures, to train staff and inmates on how to prevent and report abuse, and to provide safe and confidential channels for reporting incidents of sexual abuse. Additionally, PREA mandates regular data collection and reporting on sexual abuse in correctional facilities, and establishes national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape.
