PRC staff Stroud appeared in person at the CJJA New Directors and Superintendent's training in San Antonio, TX. Stroud presented a one-hour presentation on Sexual Safety in Confinement: Opportunities for Leadership.

Rape is not part of the penalty. These words echo the intent of the Prison Rape Elimination Act ? that no matter what crime someone may have committed, sexual abuse is not acceptable. In the 20 years since the passage of the landmark PREA legislation, many practitioners, advocates, and survivors have worked to implement the law and end this public health crisis. Workshop presenters from the PREA Resource Center and our partner organizations Just Detention International and The Moss Group, Inc. shared highlights from PREA 20th anniversary events, including a brief video of historic moments.
