The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was passed in 2003 with unanimous support from both parties in Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush. The purpose of the act is to “provide for the analysis of the incidence and effects of prison rape in Federal, State, and local institutions and to provide information, resources, recommendations and funding to protect individuals from prison rape.” (Prison Rape Elimination Act, 2003). Additional PREA information can be found here.
About NIC SearchThe National Institute of Corrections is targeted toward an adult audience, though it is available for any internet user. NIC does not provide search result filtering, so terms that may trigger some individuals may appear in search results. You can manually remove key words you don't want to appear in your results by using the minus sign modifier before a word, for example: -handcuffs Using the "-" dash or minus character immediately before a word in the search box will remove any search result containing that term. You may use as many search terms and removed words as you would like in the search box. |
