The report must be made as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours after receiving the allegation, and all such notifications must be documented.   The PREA Coordinator reported that there have been no allegations received in the past 12 months involving residents reporting sexual abuse that occurred at another facility; therefore, no notifications to external facilities were required during the audit period. The Director confirmed understanding of the reporting obligation and indicated that any such allegation would be promptly reported in accordance with policy and PREA standards.   The Director further confirmed that NNJDC has not received any notifications from other facilities alleging sexual abuse that occurred at NNJDC during the same period. Accordingly, there were no related records available for review. The Director stated that any such notification, if received, would result in an immediate administrative response and investigation consistent with PREA requirements.   Compliance Determination: Based on the evidence reviewed and staff interviews, the auditor has determined that NNJDC meets the requirements of this standard.
