Abstract: The National Prison Rape Statistics Program is a collection mandated by Congress in the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003. The National Inmate Survey is the only national source of information on the number of sexual assault victims within correctional facilities. This part of the collection fulfills the legislative requirement to obtain data directly from inmates in order to generate a facility level estimate of sexual assault.
