Two items are available from the National Judicial College (NJC), under a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), that will help judges and prosecutors understand and manage PREA cases. "What Judges Need to Know About Prison Rape: The Prison Rape Elimination Act and the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003: Curriculum for Judges. According to NJC, "The purpose of both resources is that judges will be able to:

identify the critical provisions of PREA
manage PREA cases effectively and efficiently
apply evidentiary rules in PREA cases
and sentence offenders considering victim's rights, reentry, community safety, and other significant concerns."

According to the NJC site, "The two CD-ROMs are in one-hour self-study formats - one for prosecutors and one for judges." You can read more about these resources and how to request the CD's.
