We are committed to strengthening the PREA audit function as a key tool in promoting a zero-tolerance approach to sexual abuse and sexual harassment in confinement, ensuring lasting change in facilities nationwide.
PREA Resource Center
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Resource Center is funded through a cooperative agreement between the Bureau of Justice Assistance at the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and Impact Justice.
The PREA Resource Center (PRC) provides information, guidance, and resources to help state and local agencies comply with the PREA Standards and prepare for an audit, with the goal of ending sexual abuse in confinement. Through its federally sponsored website, the PRC offers a comprehensive library of publicly available resources and tools — including training materials, templates, and implementation guides — designed to address common compliance challenges. The PRC advances the conduct of PREA audits by managing a national training, certification, and support program for DOJ-certified PREA auditors; supporting DOJ’s audit oversight efforts; and maintaining essential PREA auditing tools, such as the PREA Online Audit System (OAS), OAS Helpdesk, Audit Assignment System, and other critical audit support systems.
