Prison Rape Elimination Act
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was passed in 2003. The law focuses on addressing sexual violence in juvenile facilities, jails, prisons, lockups, and other incarcerational institutions. This law provides for collection of data, technical assistance, early funding to assist states, and periodic review of facilities with high and low rates of victimization. The Department of Justice under this law issued standards outlining the steps that facilities must take to address sexual misconduct prevention, detection and response.
The Camden County Juvenile Detention Center (CCJDC) is committed to ensuring a safe and humane environment for all offenders and will not tolerate any form of sexual abuse/sexual harassment. The CCJDC has a written policy mandating zero tolerance towards ALL forms of sexual harassment and abuse. All employees, contractors, vendors and volunteers are mandatorily trained to have a clear understanding of the guidelines under PREA. Click here for more information (PDF).
