Abstract: The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. § 15601 et seq was passed by Congress to address the concerns related to incidents of sexual abuse, assault, and rape of prisoners in Federal, State, and local prisons, as well as the lack of data available about such incidents. PREA requires that the Department of Justice (DOJ) develop and implement national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape and to increase the available data and information on the incidence of prison rape.
