During this webinar, we cover PREA Standard 115.78 Disciplinary Sanctions for Inmates. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that inmates are held accountable for inmate-on-inmate sexual abuse through a formal disciplinary process that provides appropriate and measured sanctions commensurate with the nature and circumstances of the abuse, the inmate’s disciplinary history and sanctions imposed for comparable offenses by inmates with similar histories. Imposing consistent disciplinary sanctions demonstrates agency and facility commitment to sexual safety and helps deter sexual abuse.

During this webinar, we cover PREA Standard 115.86 Sexual Abuse Incident Reviews. The sexual abuse incident review, which is conducted at the conclusion of every substantiated and unsubstantiated sexual abuse investigation, is intended to evaluate whether any changes in policy or practice at the facility need to be made in light of the alleged incident. The incident review process is intended to allow the facility to identify systemic problems in policies, practices, dynamics, physical barriers, staffing levels, and monitoring that may have contributed to an incident or allegation of sexual abuse, so that the facility can improve conditions to avoid future incidents or allegations.
