Instructional Goal

The focus of this training specifically relates to issues surrounding the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), sexual violence and staff sexual misconduct. This training addresses the intent of PREA, professional boundaries when working within a correctional setting, reporting requirements, and resources to include victim services. This class addresses the unique challenges faced by correctional staff in preventing inmate-on-inmate sexual violence, and staff on inmate sexual relationships. Both types of inappropriate conduct are illegal, will result in prosecution, decertification, and additional incarceration. This training will also provide detailed information for staff who might discover conduct that amounts to illegal sexual activity within a correctional setting and about what steps need to be taken to properly protect the victim, the scene, and the security of the correctional facility.
