The Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) is made up of executive staff leaders of most of the individual states in the US and territories. A PREA Committee meets bi-monthly and is attended by some executive leaders and primarily by state-level Juvenile PREA Coordinators for each state's juvenile justice agency. The National PREA Resource Center (PRC) arranges for speakers and presentations at these meetings based on content requests from the members.

The Illinois Courts Probation Services Division supervise the administration of county-operated juvenile detention facilities in the state. Three of eleven have opted on their own to pursue PREA certification and have been successful. The remaining eight had not pursued PREA certification. The Division anticipates legislation upcoming that will require the detention centers to be compliant with PREA and pursue certification and requested that a PRC staff member speak to the group about the benefits of certification and first steps in PREA implementation.
