Residential Reentry PREA Policy

The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)

Congress enacted the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) to address the problem of sexual abuse of persons in the custody of U.S. correctional agencies. PREA calls for federal, state, and local corrections systems to have a zero-tolerance policy regarding prison rape (as defined by PREA) in prisons, jails, police lock-ups, and other confinement facilities. The Act applies to all public and private institutions that house adult or juvenile offenders and to community-based correctional agencies.

Pioneer’s Zero Tolerance Policy

Pioneer Human Services mandates zero tolerance towards all forms of sexual victimization in all its facilities.
