PREA

PREA

In September of 2003, the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was signed into federal law to address the sexual abuse and harassment of incarcerated individuals. The law mandates that states adopt a "Zero Tolerance" for all forms of offender sexual abuse and harassment and that each state make prevention of inmate sexual abuse and harassment a top priority.

Zero Tolerance Policy: 

The Jackson County Detention Center has zero tolerance toward all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment, and provides guidelines to prevent, detect and respond to such prohibited and/or illegal sexually abusive behavior.
