The Prison Rape Elimination Act of
2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. § 15601 et seq was passed by Congress to
address the concerns related to incidents of sexual abuse, assault,
and rape of prisoners in Federal, State, and local prisons, as well
as the lack of data available about such incidents. PREA requires
that the Department of Justice (DOJ) develop and implement national
standards for the detection, prevention, reduction, and punishment
of prison rape and to increase the available data and information
on the incidence of prison rape.

USC 15601 Name of Law: Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003
DHS estimates an annual
increase of 1,113 responses (from 1,385,064 to 1,386,177) and a
corresponding increase of 761 burden hours (from 119,321 to
120,082). The changes reflected in this ICR are attributed to DHS
using more up-to-date response data from fiscal years 2017-2019 to
revise the estimate of the average annual responses.
