received the required PREA-related training. Documentation confirmed completion
of specialized medical and mental health training, in addition to general PREA
training required under Standard 115.331.
During interviews, both medical and mental health staff demonstrated knowledge of
key training components, including recognizing indicators of sexual abuse and
sexual harassment, appropriate response protocols for juvenile victims, preservation
of evidence when applicable, and mandatory reporting procedures. Staff also
confirmed their understanding of the appropriate chain of communication for
reporting allegations or suspicions of sexual abuse or harassment within the facility.
The PREA Coordinator confirmed that medical and mental health staff also complete
the facility’s general PREA training curriculum under Standard 115.331, which
includes the zero-tolerance policy, reporting requirements, and prevention and
response procedures. Training records reviewed by the auditor confirmed that these
requirements were met for all applicable staff.
The auditor further confirmed that NNJDC medical staff do not conduct forensic
medical examinations. Instead, the facility relies on Riverside Regional Medical
Center to provide forensic examinations when necessary, consistent with Standard
115.321(c). This arrangement was verified through interviews with the PREA
Coordinator, nurse, and mental health clinician.
Compliance Determination
Based on a review of facility policies, training documentation, employee training
files, and interviews with the PREA Coordinator and medical and mental health staff,
the auditor determined that NNJDC provides appropriate specialized PREA training
to all medical and mental health care practitioners who provide services within the
facility.
Accordingly, the auditor finds that NNJDC meets the requirements of Standard
115.335, and no corrective action is required.
