The second phase of a multi-part program about the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003, a federal law that affects all correctional facilities, is presented. "Assessing Your Agency's Response to Prison Sexual Assault" is a 6-hour training program, broadcast on January 26 and 27, 2005, which examines practitioners' perspectives on inmate sexual assault and critical issues faced by all confinement institutions and community corrections agencies that house adult or juvenile offenders. Presenters will build on "How the PREA Affects You" (NIC accession no. 019765) and discuss potential operational impacts on jails, prisons, and community corrections. There is also information about activities of federal agencies and the National Prison Rape Reduction Commission. Input from focus groups across the past year will be shared throughout this training, and the program will begin exploring response strategies in correctional settings. The 28 minute long video "Responding to Prison Rape" examines effective strategies for preventing sexual assault and misconduct in both male and female correctional settings. Also included is a "Resource Disk" that contains a facilitator's guide for "Responding to Prisoner Rape," an overview of PREA presentation, a bibliography, and a copy of the law itself.
