overseeing the facility's PREA compliance efforts. During her interview, the PREA
Coordinator demonstrated a thorough understanding of the PREA Standards and
stated that she has sufficient time, authority, and organizational support to develop,
coordinate, and oversee the facility's PREA program. Throughout the on-site audit,
the auditor observed that the PREA Coordinator is knowledgeable, actively engaged
in PREA compliance activities, and well respected by staff, residents, and
community partners.
The PREA Coordinator described her responsibilities as ensuring staff receive
required PREA training, monitoring staff and resident interactions, reviewing
incident reports, maintaining PREA-related documentation, conducting facility
training, monitoring compliance efforts, and coordinating the facility's overall
implementation of the PREA Standards. A review of training certifications and other
supporting documentation confirmed that she possesses the knowledge and
qualifications necessary to effectively fulfill these responsibilities.
The Director affirmed that protecting residents from sexual abuse and maintaining
compliance with the PREA Standards are organizational priorities. He further stated
that the PREA Coordinator has his full support and is authorized to devote the time
and resources necessary to ensure continued compliance with PREA requirements.
Because NNJDC operates a single juvenile detention facility, the designation of a
PREA Compliance Manager is not required. Therefore, provision 115.311(c) is not
applicable.
Compliance Determination
Based on a review of applicable policies and supporting documentation,
observations made during the on-site audit, and interviews with the Director, PREA
Coordinator, staff, and residents, the auditor determined that NNJDC has established
and implemented a comprehensive zero-tolerance policy and has designated a
PREA Coordinator with sufficient authority and resources to oversee the facility's
PREA compliance efforts. Accordingly, the auditor finds that NNJDC meets the
requirements of Standard 115.311, and no corrective action is required.
