D-1A What Stories Do the Numbers Tell? Putting PREA Audits and Implementation Efforts into Context TRACK: Prisons More than 6,000 PREA audits have been completed since August 2013 and audit data is painting an informative picture of the audit landscape. Join this session to learn what the data tells us about implementation, compliance, and the positive changes to improve sexual safety in confinement that corrections professionals have made in the last 7 years.

Identify key trends and understand the landscape of PREA auditing to date. 2. Understand tips and tools for PREA data collection and retention in your prison. 3. Illustrate how good internal reporting systems can help support PREA implementation and provide a strong foundation for agencies’ and facilities’ demonstration of their compliance in practice when it comes time for an audit.
