PREA

No Means No
No Means No

The Idaho Department of Correction has zero tolerance for sexual abuse and sexual harassment. The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003 is a federal law that seeks to prevent sexual assaults and sexual misconduct in confinement settings. The department adopted a zero tolerance policy for sexual abuse in 2004. Preventing sexual abuse is a top priority for the agency.

All sexual abuse reports are investigated. Incidents involving potentially criminal acts are referred to law enforcement for investigation and potential prosecution.

Reporting Information

Residents are encouraged to report and have multiple ways to get help. The quickest way for a resident to receive help is to report to staff in the facility.  

Residents may report in the following ways inside facilities.

  • Tell any staff member.
  • Submit a written report, such as a concern form.
  • Call the PREA hotline and record a report.
  • Send a letter to the Idaho Sheriffs' Association. *Residents can send confidential mail, and ask to remain anonymous for this option.

Family and friends may report in the following ways from the community.

Community options are checked during normal business hours. If immediate response is needed, call the facility directly at the main facility number.

Concern forms and grievances may also be used fhttps://www.idoc.idaho.gov/prea/2022/Annual/Reportor reporting. The PREA SOP 149.01.01.001 has complete details.
