Overview
PREA was enacted to, among other things, establish a zero-tolerance standard for rape in U.S. prisons and make the prevention of prison rape a top priority in each prison system. PREA also charged the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission with recommending standards for addressing prison rape for consideration by the Attorney General and directed the Attorney General to adopt national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape.
