       PREA                                  Prison Rape Elimination Act 

The Prison Rape Elimination Act 2003 (PREA) was enacted by congress to address the problem of sexual abuse and sexual harassment within confinement settings.  In 2012, the United States Department of Justice published a final rule adopting national standards for prevention, detection, and responding to prison rap under PREA.  Consistent with PREA, the Clay County Detention Center maintains a policy of zero tolerance toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
