Facilities must undergo formal PREA compliance audits once during each three-year audit cycle in order to remain compliant with PREA. This interactive workshop will give agency and facility staff assigned to PREA-related duties for all confinement types an opportunity to learn about and discuss the Department of Justice (DOJ) PREA Auditor Handbook (Handbook), which is a critical audit preparation resource that many practitioners overlook, assuming it is only helpful to auditors. The workshop will offer insight into how agency/facility staff can use the Handbook
as a tool for supporting their ongoing sexual safety efforts under the PREA. The workshop will be facilitated by two practitioners with experience evaluating, training, implementing, and auditing the PREA standards. The two practitioners will offer guidance on how the Handbook can provide an advantage to agency/facility staff in their preparation for each stage of a PREA audit, including the audit solicitation and contract process. The
information provided during the workshop can be brought back and shared with agency/facility staff and key leadership.

Due to Covid, the 2021 ACA Summer Conference will be a hybrid model. There will be one conference day held for workshop presentations via a virtual platform and the other days of the conference will be held in-person. Due to current Impact Justice and BJA travel restrictions, PRC staff will pre-recorded the workshop presentation on July 9, 2021 and the recording will be presented during the actual conference on the designated virtual day August 11, 2021. PRC staff will participate in a virtual Q/A session following the workshop presentation on August 11, 2021. The workshop presentation materials have been developed and are currently under review by the PREA Management Office.
