Progress Report on the Department of Justice's Implementation of the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

摘要

The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) required the Attorney General to promulgate regulations that adopt national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape. On June 20, 2012, after notice and comment rulemaking, the Department of Justice (Department or DOJ) published the National Standards to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape (Standards). This OIG progress report examines DOJs early efforts to implement and comply with PREA since publication of the Standards.
