Interviews with random residents confirmed that they received PREA education
upon intake and understood the facility’s zero-tolerance policy. All interviewed
residents were able to identify multiple reporting mechanisms for sexual abuse and
sexual harassment, including use of the #333 hotline (CSAS), submission of
grievance forms, and verbal reporting to trusted staff members or family members.
In addition to intake education, NNJDC provides ongoing PREA education to
residents on an intermitent basis through structured group sessions facilitated by
Detention Specialists and Senior Detention Specialists. These sessions are
documented in the HYPE system Group Activity Log, which includes attendance
records, session topics, and narrative summaries. The auditor reviewed selected
logs and confirmed that ongoing PREA education is consistently documented and
conducted.
During the facility site review, the auditor observed PREA informational postings
displayed throughout the facility, including housing units, intake areas, classrooms,
and common spaces. These postings were clearly visible and accessible to
residents, staff, contractors, and visitors.
Staff interviews confirmed that resident PREA education is a standard and routine
component of intake and ongoing programming. Case managers and clinicians
further confirmed that residents are provided repeated reinforcement of PREA
concepts through structured programming and informal discussions.
The PREA Coordinator stated that while NNJDC rarely serves residents with
significant sensory or cognitive disabilities, procedures are in place to provide
auxiliary supports when needed. These may include assistance from the Hampton-
Newport News Community Services Board, the American Red Cross, or other
qualified service providers to ensure residents fully understand PREA information
regardless of disability or language barriers.
Compliance Determination
Based on a review of facility policies, resident education materials, intake
documentation, training records, HYPE system logs, observations during the facility
site review, and interviews with the PREA Coordinator, staff, and residents, the
auditor determined that NNJDC provides comprehensive, timely, and accessible
PREA education to all residents upon intake and on an ongoing basis.
Accordingly, the auditor finds that NNJDC meets the requirements of Standard
115.333, and no corrective action is required.
