The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. § 15601 et seq was passed by Congress to address the concerns related to incidents of sexual abuse, assault, and rape of prisoners in Federal, State, and local prisons, as well as the lack of data available about such incidents. PREA requires that the Department of Justice (DOJ) develop and implement national standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment of prison rape and to increase the available data and information on the incidence of prison rape.
US Code:
42 USC 15601
Name of Law: Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003
DHS estimates an annual decrease of 7,798 responses (from 1,385,064 to 1,377,266) and a corresponding decrease of 1,467 burden hours (from 119,321 to 117,854). The changes reflected in this ICR are attributed to DHS using more up-to-date response data from fiscal years 2020-2023 to revise the estimate of the average annual responses.
