PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act)
The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 is a federal law created to eliminate sexual abuse in confinement settings. This legislation mandated the development of national standards intended to address the detection, prevention, reduction, and prosecution of sexual abuse and sexual assaults in all correctional, jail, and lockup facilities. The Bedford Park Police Department has a zero-tolerance policy with regard to providing a safe and healthy environment for staff and detainees. Detainees have the right to be free from sexual abuse, from sexual harassment and from retaliation for reporting such incidents. Sexual acts or conduct between detainees or between detainees and any staff member, even if consensual, are prohibited and are subject to administrative disciplinary sanctions as well as possible criminal action.
