2020 PREA Annual Report

We go above and beyond to help ensure a safe environment where individuals are protected from sexual assault and can focus on recovery. See the latest PREA Annual Report for accurate data about incidents of sexual abuse.

Introduction

The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) was enacted to address sexual abuse and sexual harassment in federal, state, and local institutions. PREA supports the elimination, reduction, and prevention of sexual abuse and sexual harassment by establishing a zero-tolerance policy within our prisons, community confinement facilities, and local jails.

This report covers data on allegations reported from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. CURA, Inc. is committed to providing a safe and secure environment free from all forms of sexual misconduct and retaliation. CURA, Inc. has developed a policy and procedures manual that helps us to meet the PREA standards. Our organization utilizes all available resources such as residents, staff, vendors, and visitors’ education and training, notifications, propaganda, and orientation sessions to ensure compliance with PREA standards.
