A-1M PREA at 20: Reflecting on the Past, Planning for the Future (CEU) Track: Prisons & Jails/Social Work NEW! Room: National Harbor 14 Rape is not part of the penalty. These words echo the intent of the Prison Rape Elimination Act that no matter what crime someone may have committed, sexual abuse is not acceptable. In the 20 years since the passage of the landmark PREA legislation, many practitioners, advocates and survivors have worked to implement the law and end this public health crisis. Presenters will share highlights from PREA anniversary events, including a brief video of historic moments. Participants will also hear from a formerly incarcerated survivor of sexual abuse in confinement. There is still more work to be done; presenters will share new resources and gather input from attendees on what they need to prevent sexual abuse and support incarcerated survivors. Learning Objectives: • Describe the most pressing PREA implementation needs. • Identify advancements in preventing and responding to sexual abuse in confinement. • Explain forthcoming resources and support.
